Reason: List was recently updated so that a source is needed to verify the square footage of each house on the list. The same user has changed the square footage of the houses at the top of the lists multiple times without providing sources. I believe it detracts from the list to have entries that are unsourced.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

Before posting a request to this page, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.

To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.

DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...

  • ...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
    • If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
    • If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
  • ...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
  • ...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.

You may request a protection reduction below if...

  • ...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
  • ...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
  • ...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence from talk page activity, page views, page traffic, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
  • ...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.

If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Unprotection: I don't there's a need for full protection. Maybe ECP or semi would be more appropriate. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? - c) 18:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

@Floquenbeam: - I'm confused why it's full-protected too. Wouldn't it be enough to semiprotect to prevent socks from editing the page? ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 19:04, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
It's sort of explained in the note at the bottom of the talk. I think the intent was to avoid any type of goading of Hidden Tempo while their talk page/UTRS ban was in place. Given the many years that have passed since the talk page protection, it's probably fine to lower it. As Floq is currently only dipping their toe into the Wikipedia pool from time to time these days, a quick response may not be forthcoming. -- Ponyobons mots 20:04, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary unprotection to fix lint errors on the page. Pointed here from WP:RFPP/E. Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:54, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary unprotection to fix lint errors on the page. Pointed here from WP:RFPP/E. Tenshi! (Talk page) 19:54, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Unprotection: Unnecessary autoconfirmed create protection as non-autoconfirmed users are not able to create or edit user pages of other users (except for unlocked user pages which only apply to user pages that exist). Prothe1st (talk) 15:33, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

@Prothe1st: I don't see where you've asked the blocking admin first as is required. Also, honestly, why does the protection matter? This is just a make work request with no benefit to anyone.-- Ponyobons mots 17:41, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Requested change: Reduce protection to a lower level (or remove entirely) Rationale: The page has remained stable and there has been little to no disruptive editing or vandalism for a significant period. Recent edits have been constructive and aimed at improving content quality. Because the article concerns a major community, lowering the protection would allow wider participation from good-faith editors, which would benefit article development. Marcus mucianus (talk) 19:29, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Not done, per WP:CT/SA, social groups in South Asia are WP:ECR as a whole. signed, Rosguill talk 19:36, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here

Edit requests should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.

Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.


I would like to request that... (Tell Izno I said thanks for signing my comment.) . 98.235.155.81 (talk) 21:57, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

I am returning to request full rights after the three-month trial period expired. During the trial period, I encountered no issues and successfully created many articles to contribute to Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Myanmar. Hteiktinhein (talk) 07:53, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

@Hteiktinhein: I notice that you routinely cite YouTube videos. Why is this source from Kyaukthittar Pagoda reliable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts Thank you very much for your response. You asked whether the YT reference is reliable. I would say 'yes', because it is a documentary-style storytelling piece from Myanmar Celebrity Media, which is considered Myanmar's largest entertainment media outlet after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. Before the coup, they operated a website channel, but now they only operate a YouTube video channel. After the coup, around 90% of entertainment media outlets were shut down, leaving only a few video-based entertainment news sources and other media only focus on the war and political news. I used this video version as a source for Wikipedia because it comes from a verified major media outlet. According to WP:YOUTUBE-EL, "If the source would normally be considered reliable (e.g., a segment from a well-known television news show, or an official video channel from a major publisher), then a copy of the source on YouTube is still considered reliable." Therefore, I sometimes use YouTube sources when needed. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 04:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Do they have editorial standards? An "entertainment" outlet is quite different from news media. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I don't think their current website maintains editorial standards... When I checked, the remaining site did not mention any editor's name and only posted event and celebrity photos with very brief descriptions, without detailed news coverage. It seems the current version of their website is mostly for show and not suitable to use as a source for Wikipedia. If someone used it, sure I will remove. However, on their YouTube channel, they provide more detailed reporting and include the interviewer's name in the hashtags. Therefore, I think their place-documentary programs, where they interview or trace origin with local historians or highly venerated monks, are acceptable to use. Hteiktinhein (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Since I don't speak/read Burmese, I can't really independently evaluate whether I find the source credible, and I can't really easily research if they had editorial standards in the past. I'll let another admin evaluate your request. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Anyway, thank you very much for your question and concerns @Voorts. I always welcome feedback or comments from senior editors, and I am eager to learn from others. Please correct me if I am wrong. I really do not want to use YouTube as a source; I only turn to it when there is no other choice (Myanmar is now a low-resource media environment, and it is difficult to find website-based reports bcs all gone [2], [3]). My Wiki mentor once told me that YouTube could be used as a source if the channel is verified and has a media license under the Myanmar government. After learning this, I began to cite videos from YouTube only when they came from licensed media.
If media license–holder outlets that report on notable Burmese celebrities are not considered reliable sources, I am happy to agree with that. I have used YouTube sources in only a few of the articles I created (especially on temple or pagoda topics), and if this is still unclear, I am willing to remove or replace them with other references.
I believe MC (Myanmar Celebrity) is one of the most popular celebrity and entertainment news outlets in Myanmar under license, although its website is now low in editorial standards and seems focused mostly on monetization and viewership (some reports on cele may gossip). The second most popular online outlet is Stun Magazine. To give a sense of MC's influence in Myanmar, as Burmese saying goes: “Someone can become a celebrity if Myanmar Celebrity features them.” Thank you again for reviewing my request. Hteiktinhein (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
The issue is that celebrity/gossip outlets tend not to be particularly reliable. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:58, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I partly agree. Sometimes they report on celebrity conflicts, which feels more like gossip, but most of their reports are focused on celebrity life and news. They also have multiple programs such as travel, documentary, food reviews, daily life, and program of "forgotten celebrities". Some of these are actually very good reports.
For ordinary lifestyle interviews with celebrities, I don't think those should be used as sources because I know they are not independent. But for other local news reports, I think we can consider using them for Wikipedia. In my view, the reliability of such MC sources should be decided on a case-by-case basis at each article's talk page. How do you think? Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts As of now, MC is a questionable source, and the reliability of that outlet still we cannot be decided. Therefore, removing it is better now, and I have replaced it with another source on Kyaukthittar Pagoda. You can verify again, and if you have any concerns about this, kindly ping me. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:25, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein Have you used that or similar sources in other articles? voorts (talk/contributions) 18:46, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I think I used MC only for this article. I’m checking my temple articles, and if I find any, I will replace them. If you notice any, please ping me. Cheers. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I have cleared MC sources from the article. I only found two in my contributions. In the future, I will not use MC since the reliability of that media is not clear at this time. However, if someone else uses it, I think it is best to discuss on the talk page and decide on a case-by-case basis. If you don’t have any further concerns, please review my request again. If there are concerns, I cannot follow up right now...it's already midnight here i now prepare to sleep but I will respond in the morning. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 19:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein: have you used similar gossip/celebrity news sites in any other articles you've written, not just articles about temples. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:35, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
No, there are no more. I checked all my articles quickly with XTools and also cleaned the Media Queen source, the same as MC. Now I believe I have removed all celebrity news channel references from my articles. You can check as well, and if I missed anything, please ping me here. @Voorts Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Oh, I nearly forgot about my request. I've just checked the discussion again, and there have been no further questions within the past month. As Vroots the admin mentioned above, “let another admin evaluate your request.” So, if there are no more major issues or questions, may I kindly ask you to evaluate my request? If there are, Im happy to address them. Hteiktinhein (talk) 07:24, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein: This is not an easy one to review, given the high degree of non-English sources. Two more requests around sourcing: Could you add in the translations of titles for non-English sources? Not a requirement for AP, but it makes it easier to review your articles. In addition, if you could add page numbers for very long sources, that again makes it clear to show your text is WP:verifiable.
In your article on Pale Yin, you cite a PhD thesis, which is fine. But you do not state the page number. It seems the information is on 158 and 159. But.. the source gives this as an example, not as some generality, whereas you seem to give this as a generality. Could you please adjust?
I'm considering given a longer temporary AP. I tend to give temporary AP when I see somebody growing as an editor, but there are still some minor issues to be worked out with core policies. PERM/AP gives more in-depth feedback than NPP, and NPP isn't great at catching issues with sourcing as above. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:11, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Femke I've adjusted the page numbers in the sources as you suggested. Occasionally I forget to include them, but I always make sure to provide page numbers for Burmese-language sources whenever they are available. Some books, however, do not display page numbers in their editions. I also generally do not add page numbers for Google Books that are only available in snippet view, since those can be accessed directly through the link. I've also added English-language sources as backups, even though the Burmese sources are already sufficient to support the article. Including English sources helps English-speaking editors better understand the topic. The legends of Burmese nats are mainly found in Burmese-language books and are rarely available in English.
In the past, I did not include translations of titles for non-English sources because it was not strictly required. Following your recommendation, I've started adding translations of titles in the more recent articles I've created. That said, some book titles are difficult to render in English because of their deep literary or poetic meanings.
Please don't worry about the Burmese-language sources. I have a tutor in history with strong knowledge of Burmese, and if you ever need verification or if Google Lens isn't sufficient, you can always ask me or other experienced Burmese editors here on Wikipedia. Thank you again for your helpful suggestions. Hteiktinhein (talk) 17:37, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Permission was revoked at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=169754554 . The permission was revoked four months ago before I recently returned after 14 years of absence from the project, please reinstate. Sswonk (talk) 15:03, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([4]). MusikBot talk 15:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
This RfC recently established that autopatrolled can be procedurally revoked from inactive contributors, but I don't think there was consensus that it could be procedurally reinstated upon request, so I would encourage the reviewing administrator (I'm not one) to consider this like any other request. @Sswonk: I had a couple of questions about the articles you recently created: what makes this website (on Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter) and this website (on Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics) reliable sources? Also, since IMDb is an unreliable source, is there another citation that could be used for the award on that first article? TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Also, I forgot to say: welcome back to the project! I realized my comments above could come across as trying to shoot you down after your wikibreak, but I did mean it as genuine questions/feedback. :) TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks TS69, I did not realize that you had posted here before I went to your talk, I am copy-pasting that here so we can continue the conversation in one place. Below is re: Jeff Burger, will respond on other questions momentarily.
I added a second citation to the first paragraph of Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter. I think the first citation is fine, yes it is a self-published source by Jeff Burger however Burger is well-known (https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/burger--jeff-contributor-301827.php) and the site serves as an archive of his previously published reviews. The page I cite is a reprint of a review first published in 1976, the publication is not specified, however the information about Burger suggests it satisfies "Self-published sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." See also https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=au=%22Burger%2C%20Jeff%22 -- Burger should be considered reliable. Sswonk (talk) 16:34, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Regarding the second question about Chapter 16, please see https://chapter16.org/about-us/ and https://www.humanitiestennessee.org/about/our-story/?cn-reloaded=1 publisher of the cited, archived website. I would also consider that as satisfying WP:V.
I did not realize IMDb was unreliable, I used that because it is the single source of the page 38th Golden Globe Awards. I added the actual Golden Globes as a source. Sswonk (talk) 17:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for making those changes — your point about Burger makes sense to me, so I'll remove the {{sps?}} tag, and citing the Golden Globes' website for that award looks appropriate. I'm less sure about the reliability of Chapter 16, but I think I'll leave this for an administrator to weigh whether or not that would be a significant blocker to granting the permission. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:24, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
I appreciate that, thank you. Sswonk (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
The question remaining from TechnoSquirrel69 asks for administrator input on the reliability of the Chapter 16 web outlet of the Tennessee Humanities organization. Links are provided a couple of paragraphs above. I am noting here that this morning I changed the previously existing citation link on the Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics page to a direct link rather than to the archived page, as I was able to find the current url for the review. The link TechnoSquirrel69 includes above in his initial post has been updated to a current page. So we are dealing with the WP:RS status of a current page on a site that supports a 51-year old Tennessee institution funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. I think Chapter 16 is entirely reliable and should be used on Wikipedia articles related to Tennessee culture and history as needed. However, I want to thank TechnoSquirrel69 for diligence in finding areas for improvement in these stubs. Like him, I strive for the best references available and had determined the Chapter 16 and Jeff Burger sites were satisfactory prior to opening this request for permission; however I have been away for over a decade and am prepared to face challenges with humility. Fifteen years ago I worked on Led Zeppelin which was at the time poorly organized but since I left has been promoted to GA status. My opinion is that Loretta Lynn is on a similar level as a significant performer and figure in popular music history, and naturally I want articles about her and her work to have

top-shelf reviews; even stubs should strive for high quality, especially references within them, to help other editors find further material, to set a tone of sincerity and professionalism. Thank you again TechnoSquirrel69. Sswonk (talk) 14:17, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

What makes the Treaty of Southampton notable? voorts (talk/contributions) 21:56, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Sswonk voorts (talk/contributions) 22:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts -- The notability rises from its mention in reliable sources as the first alliance between England and the Dutch Republic and as an initial policy forming act of Charles I. There was an existing maritime agreement, but the treaty went further and allied the two nations against Spain during a volatile period. To quote Anton Poot whose PhD thesis is one of the sources, "the maritime agreement had not mentioned Spain by name as the common enemy; the Treaty of Southampton left no doubt. It created an Anglo-Dutch partnership for a joint war against Spain, effectively meaning that England joined the Dutch in a war they had been waging already for decades." Charles was asserting England against Spain formally. The sources find it significant in the history of the Eighty Years War and of pre-civil war England.

Swift observed the Nova on 2025-09-23.64 and detected a bright source of hard x-rays at the position of the nova. The early detection might indicate a symbiotic nature of the host binary system. Alternatively the nova may be unusually fast in clearing up its ejecta
compare to the source:
The early detection might indicate a symbiotic nature of the host binary system. Alternatively the nova may be unusually fast in clearing up its ejecta[5]
Similarlly, in Special:Diff/1313838571
NEOMIR would have shorter exposure times and higher cadence of revisit, this would ensure that faster NEOs are not missed.
compared to source:
shorter exposure times and higher cadence of revisit, ensuring that faster and therefore closer NEOs crossing the field of regard are not missed.

The guidelines say that someone has to 'regularly create new articles'. I usually interpret that as at least one article every 3-4 months. Different admins interpret this differently, but I'd be happy to for you to reapply after the creation of say 4 clean articles and 2 months of editing. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:52, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
I can do those 4 articles in a week if I put my back into it. 2 months of editing is about the consistency...I assume. 8rz (talk) 13:37, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Why is Cohen 2003 a reliable source for the proposition that the wars in the Caucasus created two million refugees? voorts (talk/contributions) 22:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Mupper-san. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts Given Cohen's status as a "specialist in human rights and humanitarian and refugee issues" (per the Brookings Institute, where she is [was?] a senior fellow) and given the fact that she's worked with the United Nations on refugee issues (per Francis Deng), I don't see a particular reason not to consider her work reliable, though as I recall the number did somewhat surprise me. Mupper-san (talk) 22:28, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
I would prefer a solid secondary source here, given that this article is covered by multiple CTOPs and community sanctions. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:40, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting Autopatrolled rights in order to reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. I primarily create new articles on politics and law with a focus on biographies of notable individuals. I ensure that the content I add are verifiable and the articles comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. My previous request was declined in March 2025. Since then, I have strived to improve the quality of my contributions and have made substantial improvements to several existing ones, upgrading them to B-grade, e.g., [6], [7] and [8]. Regards.

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

Hi, I’m requesting AWB access to add categories (which I usually add manually), fix typos, and tag articles that contain a lot of LLM content, like over here [9]. I know AWB doesn’t detect it automatically, but tagging articles after reviewing would make cleanup easier. Jesus isGreat7 ☾⋆ | Ping Me 14:43, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this permission to help speed up an ongoing process I am partaking in. I recently helped orchestrate the moving of the Delaware Valley page to Philadelphia metropolitan area, and there are over 1500 links to Delaware Valley, many of which are links to "Delaware Valley" but with the text showing "Philadelphia metropolitan area", so I want to speed up the process of making all these links directly to the page instead of redirects. Red0ctober22 (talk) 23:49, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

This is my second request for AWB permissions. My first request was denied in July, citing a lack of editing experience. I made hundreds of edits in the mean time and have gained more experience with Wikipedia and its policies. So I'm requesting permission to perform batch edits via AWB, mainly for adding Rcat templates, as well as for fixing broken links using Regex, where the URL schema has changed (e.g. http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/airbus-launches-a-new-systems-enhancement-package-for-in-service-a320-family-aircraft/ -> https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2007-09-airbus-launches-a-new-systems-enhancement-package-for-in-service)

I asked a follow-up question in the last thread, but didn't get an answer. So if this request is denied, please answer my following questions: By which metrics do you measure experience, and how do you think could I enhance my editing skills and knowledge? What would be a good point in time to make another request? Spiral6800 (talk) 18:20, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

Have already accumulated 1000+ edits over the past few days. I will be using AWB to mass fix typos, lint errors, regex for bigger edits where \n and \r aren't supported with the advanced replace option in source edit.

Returning AWB user (with previous experience) on my previous account User:Renamed user e2bceb05e0c43dd19cc50e3291d6fac5. 8rz (talk) 10:31, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Here is more proof that I am capable of using AWB. Usually I don't share information like this publicly, but for the sake of proof here it is
For context, after creating the page template,
I would fill out the necessary information: name, surname, and country to get from a stub to a finished article, like so:
  1. Step 1: Fill out the added seeded players using the first line of the above code.
  2. Step 2: Add the players and their countryflags in the finals and then expand them to the standard Wiki format.
  3. Step 3: Fill out the rest of the draws with the players and flags, followed by expanding the players' names and countryflags in the draws into a standard wiki format.
Rinse and repeat for related pages using the above regex. 8rz (talk) 12:01, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Noxoug1, could you comment on your decision to mark Chinese Christian Tribune reviewed? signed, Rosguill talk 15:40, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
@Rosguill@Rosguill Reading through the article and some of the sources,. If you see something that I could improve on, I can let me know Noxoug1 (talk) 06:01, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
Noxoug1 specifically, I was hoping that you could identify how you assessed its notability. signed, Rosguill talk 16:37, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
In assessing the notability, I applied WP:ORG and WP:GNG standards, specifically looking for significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I had concerns on reliance on primary sources, i.e references are from the organization itself (Brandfetch profile, their own website, and Impact Asia Center site), which are primary sources that cannot establish notability under WP:GNG. The Chinese Encyclopedia appears to be a user-generated wiki-type site, so likely not a reliable secondary source however Kingdom Resources for Christ article appears to be a independent secondary source with substantial coverage. On the other hand, I think the founding by World Council of Churches in 1965 and 60-year operational history suggested historical significance. I would also defer to other reviewers for deeper source verification.
I thnik the sourcing could be strengthened, and benefit from additional independent secondary sources, particularly academic sources, journals or news coverage about Christian media in Taiwan. but based on what is available, combined with the organization's documented history and institutional backing, i believe it demonstrated sufficient notability under WP:ORG, and no AfD warranted. Does that help? @Rosguill Noxoug1 (talk) 07:10, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Yes, this was more along the lines of the explanation I was looking for. I think I would disagree with your assessment of the Kingdom Resources for Christ source--I would question its reliability from the get go given its denominational character and its About page's focus on Christian proselytizing as opposed to journalistic values and I'm not seeing any WP:USEBYOTHERS in online searches of reliable sources. But even if we set aside KRC's reliability, most of the information about CCT in the KRC source is statements in an interview by a CCT representative, which is primary, not secondary, coverage.
In reviewing your track record thus far overall, I think that it would be appropriate to confer an extension of your trial run for an additional month. Courtesy ping Noxoug1 signed, Rosguill talk 14:03, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

I have been active for several years, both logged-in and as an IP. I have created 47 pages under this account, none of which have been deleted. I also created Flyover (Apple Maps) as an IP, which I have managed to work up to B-Class. Willing to help reduce the backlog. Lynch44 01:05, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm requesting a renewal of the NPP role. I've mainly focused on redirects thus far, but I do plan on going into articles more. Lmk if you have any questions. Thanks. EatingCarBatteries (contributions, talk) 04:13, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Ophyrius, could you comment on your decision to mark these two articles as reviewed: Noel Katz, Aisha Kahlil? signed, Rosguill talk 19:43, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

My trial New Pages Reviewer right will expire soon. I believe that I have gained enough experience to continue to have this right, and I would like to extend this right so that I can further contribute to the ongoing new pages feed backlog. Filmssssssssssss (talk) 18:51, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Filmssssssssssss, could you comment on your decision to mark Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College as reviewed (and further noting that at the time you reviewed it, it had the pretty transparently unencyclopedic title of Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (Evening), which was addressed by another editor)? signed, Rosguill talk 19:48, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

I am applying for the permission of page mover so that I will be able to carry out page moves without worrying about being blocked due to the target page already having a redirect, which then requires me to make a technical request and fill up the backlog. This particularly would help when the grammar or spacing of an article title is changed, and if there are subordinate articles relating to the main article, I will be able to change them as well en masse. I believe I meet all of the basic requirements, and I do have significant experience in page moving, and especially in initiating and participating in move discussions. A few examples of successful page moves I initiated and discussed in were: Sirius XMSiriusXM, American Athletic ConferenceAmerican Conference (NCAA), and Delaware ValleyPhiladelphia metropolitan area. I also participated a lot in the discussion to ultimately have the Stanley Cup Finals page changed to Stanley Cup Final.

Using the example of SiriusXM, when the title was changed to reflect the official branding and common usage by removing the space, this required the titles of all of the pages for SiriusXM channels to be changed as well. I was able to change some, but not all, and this required me to have to fill up a backlog on the WP:RM page, which obviously have been more efficient with this permission. Red0ctober22 (talk) 12:42, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

I am hereby requesting the page mover privilege. On multiple occasions I had to request uncontroversial moves, as I was not able to move the page myself. Most of these requests were due to WP:NPP and requested after reverting the WP:CUTNPASTE moves by other editors and re-doing the moves properly. Usually I helped the editors to request the move themselves, see, for example User talk:Worvandae#Renaming the page, but on few occasions I had requested the move myself to assist the original editor (see, for example, Talk:Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia). Sometimes I needed the move to unscramble the situation in the article I was working on, see, for example, Talk:Iron oxide red#Requested move 13 May 2023. I also create articles in my user space and occasionally need to move them over a redirect, the latest one was User:Викидим/Mikogami.

I do have the corresponding right in Russian Wikipedia. Викидим (talk) 06:17, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

I've recently been helping out in closing RMs and have also participated in some as well. I'm also a NPP, and do a decent amount of draftifying through that process. Having the page move right won't just make closing RMs that require a tech move easier, but it will also allow me to help clear the WP:RMTR backlog. Also, when draftifying, I can reduce the workload on administrators for CSD R2. I'm okay with going on trial if it is found to be necessary. veko.

I would like the role as part of my duties as a new page patroller, so I don't have to leave a redirect after moving a page to the draft space. In addition, from time to time, I create categories with typos/grammatical errors, and I would like to have the power to fix them without the need of a move request. Thanks.

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

I have been doing counter-vandalism on the recent changes tab a lot and have seen many pending revisions edits go by without being accepted for a while. I would love to be able to accept / deny the revisions to help speed up the process. LuniZunie (talk) 18:57, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

I have over 500 edits patrolling Recent Changes for vandalism. This permission would be great as I would love to help the process of reviewing pending changes. I am familiar with all policies, WP:NPOV, WP:NOT etc.

Thanks, Pr0m37h3u$ 12:00, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd like permission so that I can help out when things come up. I tend to use Wikipedia in relation to current events, so I may be able to offer some assistance related to these issues. austiñobobbiño (talk) 12:02, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

I've been doing a fair bit of patrolling recently and I think I've established a solid enough track record here to allow me to help out with pending changes review. SnowyRiver28 (talk) 09:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

I've been RC patrolling for a few years now, requesting rollback right so I can fight vandalism more effectively and use the anti-vandal tools that require it. 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 13:43, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I've been doing recent changes patrolling on a regular basis, and asking for rollbacking rights to increase my effeciency on my counter-vandalism efforts. I meet all the prerequisites mentioned in the instructions. Krsnaquli(🙏) 17:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

I have been patrolling Special:RecentChanges and Special:AbuseLog for about 40-50 days, definitely more than a month, and have collected over 610 edits, most of which are reverts of vandalism. I have only been given one warning regarding my editing, a contentious topics BLP alert, and have never engaged in edit warring or been blocked. Although I was more careless about warning users earlier, I always place {{uw}}s when I revert edits, except in the most minor and routine reversions. As everything moves very quickly at Special:RecentChanges, rollback would help me revert obviously bad-faith edits quicker and also possibly use AntiVandal and Huggle. Somepinkdude (talk) 12:35, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request for Rollback permission, so that I can help tackle vandalism in Wikipedia articles. I am reaching 2000 edits and have never been involved in any edit warring or any fights at any point. I work well with other users and consistently give proper edit summary for most changes I make. The only suggested requirement I don't currently meet is to notify other users on their Talk Page when reverting an edit (I have only reverted a few obvious vandalism), but I will definitely do it from now on.

I will follow all the rules listed on this page, and am familiar with the editing guidelines. I will be a good addition to the Wikipedia community and will help prevent vandalism with this rollback permission. SeanBeans1981 (talk) 07:15, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello SeanBeans1981, you have never used the "undo" link next to someone else's edit yet ([12]), and your list of manual reverts is very short. I'm very open to granting this permission to an experienced editor like you, but you'd need to have the required track record of countervandalism, for example by using the links here on my dashboard to find and undo vandalism without the rollback tool for a while. See Help:Reverting for ways to undo multiple contributions at once, see WP:UWARN for templates to be used on the reverted users' talk pages. Please notify me on my talk page (or re-request here) when you have built the track record of recent changes patrolling experience. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:52, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions so I can use some other tools that will make it a lot faster to revert vandalism. Currently I just click diffs on recent changes, which isn't exactly the fastest. Thank you, CardboardLamp (TC) 00:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

I am back from a Wikibreak and committed to editing again, particularly in AV. I had rollback on my old account, but regardless I still meet the criteria now. I've made over 200 mainspace edits, have multiple months experience with RC patrolling (albeit on and off), try to hold myself to a 1R rule for reverts not exempt from edit warring, and always warn after I revert. I use Ultraviolet for AV and know my way around Huggle, so rollback would help me use both of these quicker and more efficiently. In addition to my reverts, I have made several G3 requests and AIV reports (all of which were acted on in some way), and am active in anti-promotion work. Thanks, UpTheOctave! • 8va? 20:51, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

I monitor RC at least 10 times a day, and I find it hard sometimes to revert lots of obvious vandalism. Having Rollback will help me fight vandalism more efficiently and quickly. Seanwk :] (Talk) 03:48, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I have been patrolling recent changes for a while and I would like to request the rollback permission. Most of my edits since I signed up have been undos and reverts, and I have already been using Ultraviolet for a while. I have read the guidelines and I understand when I'm supposed to use rollback.

 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more.

Requests for template editor

Template editor

Earlier this year I had attempted to obtain this permission, which ultimately triggered action on my template edit requests. I am once again asking for the permission, only this time I've waited a month to see if my request would be acted upon. I am particularly interested in sports-related templates. poketape (talk) 04:06, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Requests for temporary account IP viewer

Temporary account IP viewer

I have been active fighting vandalism for several years. I frequently use IP addresses to help fight vandalism by checking for more vandalism coming from the same /24 (ipv4) or /64 (ipv6) range after reverting a problematic edit. I am requesting the temporary account IP viewer permission to continue fighting vandalism. I have read the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy and agree not to disclose IP addresses. I defined IP access controls for an video game server network that has access to thousands of user IP addresses and understand why keeping IP addresses private is important. 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 18:15, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
