Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Neilia Hunter Biden[edit]

Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – All IP edits in the past six months were reverted. Given the subject is very close to the candidate of the US presidential election, I suggest implementing pending changes protection until after the 2024 presidential election (Nov 5) is over.

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.

2010 Atlantic hurricane season[edit]

Reason: The extended confirmed protection is no longer necessary because the autoconfirmed vandalism-only account that vandalized the page in October 2022 probably won't come back to this article. I would suggest reducing it to semi-protection or unprotecting the page entirely. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Whoops, I did not discuss with the protecting admin first. I did not see that note until after submitting this. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Well, you still haven't notified him, so now I shall have to do so. @Cryptic: how say you? Favonian (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

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.

User:Horse Eye's Back[edit]

Because NPP is the first line of systemic bias on wiki, exempting even just my creations from NPP is an improvement. In my own experience NPP has been a net negative, while I'm sure it is useful in some cases at some point my article creations aren't those. My creation history is beyond reproach, I have even been solicitied to join NPP on multiple occasions but have repeatedly declined on ideological grounds (I don't join paramilitary organization like the NPP).

 Done Rlendog (talk) 16:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
@Rlendog: This is your first edit to this page since 2009 and the first time you have ever granted a perm to another user, and it is to accept, without discussion or explanation, six minutes after it was made, a request for an exemption to NPP that calls it a "net negative" and "paramilitary organization". That's rather odd. Would you mind explaining what brought you here and your thought process in handling this request a bit further? – Joe (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I wholly share Joe's concerns here, even putting aside the extraordinary speed this was seemingly actioned, but to not challenge someone who clearly has some significant underlying issues with the page patrolling process seems to be an oversight. The appellant's expressed opinions on the process and their desire to bypass it entirely, with that rationale, warrants scrutiny. Bungle (talkcontribs) 13:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
I reviewed several of his new articles and did not see any issues. Rlendog (talk) 21:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
I've also been familiar with this editor's editing for a while, and while I think there have been issues with some of his edits to noticeboards, I have not seen any issues with his new pages. Rlendog (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
You don't see an issue with the NPP is a paramilitary organization comment then? – Joe (talk) 05:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
I have problems with the way this editor sometimes interacts with other editors, including overzealous language. But those problems are not with his editing of articles, creation of new articles, or with his knowledge of our guidelines and policies. If anything, they are overzealous in discussing those guidelines and policies, which is my impression of his depiction of NPP.
My experience with this editor goes back to January/February 2023, in a discussion at ANI regarding AfDs of certain football players. I thought some of their comments were inappropriate, particularly disparaging one particular editor involved in the discussion. He also made at least one uncomplimentary comment about me. Given that I was involved, and that the long discussion at ANI was plenty visible to many admins, I did not take any action regarding the HEB's disparaging comments at the time. But I did review their edits to ensure that they were not just trolling, and found that their edits to articles were fine and that they can be helpful to other editors who ask for assistance on their talk page. And since I was concerned that their aggressive comments about other editors may be a pattern, I saved some of the diffs from that ANI discussion in case issues arose later.
I've had a few other interactions with them since. In a discussion in late 2023 there were more interactions between HEB and the editor they disparaged in early 2023, in which HEB made at least one more condescending comment about the other editor. There was also an ANI around the same time about HEB's behavior in which that other editor linked the page containing my diffs from the previous ANI. I don't think I participated in the later ANI (if I did my participation was minimal), since the evidence I would have had to offer had already been linked, but I checked HEB's contributions again and did not find anything wrong with his article editing, and again saw their willingness to help others, albeit sometimes caustically, which is another reason I chose to not participate (or minimally participate) in the new ANI. After that ANI ended with no action against HEB, HEB requested that the diff page be speedy deleted. But as an admin, you are able to see it: User:Rlendog/Sandbox6.
There is one more incident I recall interacting with HEB on, where they made a disparaging remark about an editor who created an article about a sportsperson (I think an ice hockey player) that was at AfD. In that case the article pretty clearly did not meet our current notability guidelines, but had met the notability guidelines that were in place when the article was created. So I commented (not sure if it was on the AfD or on their talk page) that HEB ought to be careful about disparaging editors who created articles that were perfectly legitimate under guidelines then in effect, even if those guidelines subsequently changed.
But none of my interactions or reviews of their contributions indicated any issues with their editing or creation of articles, or with their knowledge of our current guidelines or policies; in fact, my only concern with their knowledge is their overzealousness in enforcing them. So when this request came up on my Watchlist, I was surprised that they didn't already have Autopatrol rights. I actually came to the page wondering if they were disparaging someone for requesting Autopatrol. When I saw it was they requesting, I checked some of their recent creations to make sure their wasn't a problem, and granted the rights. I am sure that they are aware that if they abuse the right it will be removed. And if you think I was mistaken in granting the right, I have no problem with you removing it. But while I think there are sometimes issues with the way they interact with others, those are not issues with article creation. And while it is possible that their interaction issues may one day get them banned or blocked, as long as they remain editors in good standing, I am comfortable with them being Autopatrolled (but again, you may have more experience granting this right, and if I erred feel free to overturn it). Rlendog (talk) 18:53, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.


Confirmed[edit]

Page mover[edit]


User:PadFoot2008[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 the five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done, I looked through the history of your talk page to see how you interact with other editors and quickly found this edit (pure vandalism, and dismissed with "Get off my talk page."). Plus, lots of other warnings (and a block) for personal attacks; copyvio, edit warring, and more, and you chose to respond insultingly to most of them. Advanced permissions require the ability to distinguish vandalism (and obviously refrain from it yourself) and to engage in good faith with messages from other editors.
