Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Edit warring of IP users. Sciencefish (talk) 07:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Sciencefish: Do you mean WP:ECP (30/500 protection)? Semi-protection is all that is needed for IP users. However, a quick look does not show which edits are vandalism or which are edit warring. Please identify some problem edits with a brief explanation, preferably on article talk where the editors concerned have a chance of seeing it. Johnuniq (talk) 09:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
WP:ECP (30/500 protection), yes, but will take to talk as advised. Thanks. Sciencefish (talk) 10:25, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism SuperMightyBoy (talk) 08:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@SuperMightyBoy: Are you sure it is vandalism as defined at that link? A couple of edits I checked looked defensible (I'm not saying they were correct as I don't know, but they did not appear to be vandalism). Can you identify a couple of problems on article talk? Johnuniq (talk) 09:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated vandalism/hijack attempts Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

  User(s) blocked. @Cl3phact0: Please let me know, or post here again, if problems continue. Johnuniq (talk) 10:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: I am writing on behalf of Reform UK. During the recent election campaign there have been some attempts to misrepresent the party on Wikipedia, including labelling the party as a neo-fascist political party. These disruptive edits should be limited and we would be grateful for your support. ReformUK2024 (talk) 09:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

  Declined @ReformUK2024: Quite a lot of edits are happening and very few have been reverted. That, and a quick check, makes it look like there is not a vandalism problem. Please discuss any proposed edits at the article talk page. Questions can be asked at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 10:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: High level of IP vandalism, arbitrary edits with poorly sourced and un-sourced drivelling Rustyshackelford (talk) 10:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

edit
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Reason: Biya has recently received international media coverage (see below) over her coming out. She already has an article on the French Wikipedia, which I have translated at Draft:Brenda Biya. Coverage:

Current requests for edits to a protected page

edit
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

Page mover

edit


Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello @Primefac, concerning those two reverted moves, they were indeed mistakes on my part. In hindsight, I should have done a deeper study of the main article Gahadavala dynasty. I had decided to move some Indian monarch articles to be in par with the standard convention of "(name) of (kingdom)" (such as George II of Great Britain), and when I discovered the two articles (Madanapala (Gahadavala dynasty) and Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)), I proceeded to have a quick look at the main article, where I saw the phrase "Gahadavalas of Kannauj", and after performing a quick search through the usages of "Govindachandra of Kannauj" in RS, I arrived at the conclusion that it would be a good move location. After the move was reverted, I dug deeper and read the main article more carefully and found out that the Gahadavalas do not actually appear to have ruled over the city of Kannauj but rather over Varanasi. I have since been more careful in performing such moves, and five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
  Done for three months. Primefac (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm writing to request this privileged role, despite being under the threshold for number of edits, given my demonstrated history of moving pages, particularly disambiguations and maintaining WP:MOS. The main reason being to move articles over others (i.e. redirects). Having this right would have eliminated creating an RfM discussion for something that was formally renamed, for instance, Sound Recorder (Windows) Thank you in advance.

Pending changes reviewer

edit

I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL 23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

  Done * Pppery * it has begun... 00:16, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer permissions to support the review and validation of pending changes on Wikipedia. With 1,057 edits and experience in trust articles and music, I am confident in my ability to accurately review and approve pending changes. I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and accuracy of Wikipedia's content and am committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and neutrality. Thank you for considering my request. 2RDD (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been actively editing in different topic areas (mainly politics/civics) on Wikipedia for a few years and have created some new article pages. In this time I have gained a strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to apply that to review edits to articles to identify vandalism / inappropriate edits.

Rollback

I hereby tender my application for the distinguished role of Rollbacker, having accomplished a notable volume of contributions exceeding 500 edits and consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of content quality through the diligent reversion of vandalized pages. I am confident that my expertise and unwavering dedication render me an exemplary candidate for this position, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further serve the community in this capacity. 2RDD (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

In your own words, would you please explain what vandalism is? Using that explanation, please evaluate whether the following edits are vandalism, and provide an explanation as to why or why not:

Template editor

edit

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
