Pages are not protected preemptively. ☩(Babysharkboss2) 18:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Guess I shall wait till the end of the event before I could request the protection since early protection don't work out here. VernardoLau (talk) 18:35, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.
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:Article is in a poorly written state and barely gets meaningful contributions since it was last protected. No signs of disruptive editing for a long time either.Axedd (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Last time this specific user was active was 4 years ago according to his case page. I believe another sock caused this page to locked over an year ago for edit warring, but they weren't solely interested in this particular page. Axedd (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you Axedd for being in touch and Jéské for the ping. Axedd, you are already able to edit this article in the currently protected state. For context, there have been over 18 different page protections applied over the years due to long term abuse, block evasion, and persistent disruption in general. In light of this, was there any specific reason that you're looking to see this page unprotected? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:34, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because i believe that the metaverse is now less associated with crypto and the blockchain - especially after the rise ofspatial computing. 67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Suggested action: Lower to WP:WHITELOCK/WP:PCPP to prevent disruptive editing from cryptospammers while still allowing for broader contribution from legitimate editors (especially IPs like me). Otherwise, if no cryptospam is expected, remove protection completely.67.209.128.24 (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The page was protected due to BLP, and is still protected for that reason despite Jonghyun dying in 2017. If the page is to stay protected, the protection reason should at least be changed. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 12:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
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.
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.
This, I think, is the first time I've made a suggestion. Hopefully, I'm doing this correctly.
The lateral fricative voiced retroflex, as an example, has an IPA representation of ɖɭ˔ according to its Wikipedia page, but the IPA Pulmonic table and other tables use the Unicode representation in the table and any font I have found just doesn't handle that character,
Would it be better to use the IPA representation which I think many fonts handle since the table has 'IPA' in its title and its link points to the Wikipedia page with both representations? The linked article each cell in the table states that the representation the IPA version and that the Unicode character is implied from that.
I'd be happy to make a list of each table and cell where this occurs if that is necessary and you think these will be worthwhile changes. BLWBebopKid (talk) 19:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
Pinging @Kwamikagami as they are likely to have some insight to these issues. For me personally, I'm not sure. I happen to have fonts installed that handle the extIPA symbols, but I'm in the stark minority there. Remsense ‥ 论 01:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
ExtIPA is IPA. It's just a specialized subset. For example, extIPA can be used in the 'Illustrations of the IPA' published in JIPA.
The issue is one of font support. The letters in question date to 2015, though they weren't added to Unicode until 2021. There are websites that list fonts that support various characters. These are supported by the SIL fonts, which are the best free IPA fonts available. If you don't have a good font installed, you're not going to be able to view IPA correctly anyway. That's why we have the IPA notice in articles, that you may need to install an IPA font to view the article properly. — kwami (talk) 05:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Pbritti told me to. Apparently I qualify, and I've been cranking out a decent number of articled recently. Been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2009, been editing more regularly for the last year or two. Been a rollbacker and pending changes reviewer for almost 12 years. I created one GA and have taken two articles from being just a few sentences to GA status, a few more nominations in the pipeline. ~Darth StabroTalk•Contribs 02:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Stating my support here. Encouraged him to seek this. He's told me about his plans for future articles and they seem to involve careful research up to GNG standards. His recent work has passed through GA and DYK, so quality is there. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

I, Indonesiainfo24, hereby request to be granted the Autopatrolled status on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the creation and maintenance of articles on Wikipedia, and I always strive to adhere to the guidelines and policies in place, including neutrality, verifiability, and article quality standards.
The reasons I am requesting this status are as follows:
I have contributed to articles that have been published, making improvements and adding relevant information.
I am familiar with the guidelines for good and proper writing on Wikipedia.
I have not engaged in vandalism or any other violations of Wikipedia's policies.
I hope my request will be considered, and I am committed to continuing my contributions in a manner that aligns with Wikipedia’s guidelines.
I have created 400+ well-sourced articles on military, history, literature, politics, and academia, including recent BLPs. I believe i meet the criteria for autopatrolled rights. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 08:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a swap of my AWB perms to User:Synorem (AWB). This is a legitimate alternate account specifically for AWB tasks as to prevent edit count inflation on my main account. Synorem (talk) 18:02, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.
I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

Vulcan would like to be able to rename files and to help others in doing so. Already have similar role in Commons. Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 04:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment: I just declined ~15 of the requests made by the requestor because they do not meet our local requirements to be eligible for renaming. Among the worst offenders were File:Snowfall.gif and File:New Scientist.jpg; neither are completely meaningless, thus they do clearly do not meet WP:FNC#2. I imagine our criteria differs from commons, as I am unfamiliar with their system there. I would recommend that the candidate be asked to take some more time and demonstrate a better understanding of local file renaming procedure before granting a request here. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 20:15, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to become an NPR to help reduce the work, I regularly intervene on drafts and edit them to format them and put banners or comments to advise the creator on the steps to follow so that this draft becomes eligible, in the case that it is possible.

I see drafts being submitted but they are clearly not ready to be accepted and unfortunately I can't do anything at this time.

Hi! I'd love to help out with the backlog. I have around ~40 AfD !votes, and I'm usually one of the first votes and always use strong guideline-backed reasoning. I've only had 1 AfD in the "red" cell of AfD Stats, that was a bio of a person from a non-English speaking country, and I tried to find sources in my WP:BEFORE, but nothing come up, and then another user more familiar with that country was able to dig something up so I withdrew (I don't think it should count as a black mark against me). I've also reviewed a lot of AfC submissions (a good amount of them sadly don't show in the AfC tool as they were later deleted, but there's still a decent chunk in there), and I almost always provide personalized advice backed with good reasoning when declining. You can find my CSD log here (n. 10, 100% success): User:MolecularPilot/CSD_Log, and I've also created 5 articles (see my user page), 4 of which are B class. Thanks for your time! :) MolecularPilot🧪️✈️ 05:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Adding that I'm also very experienced in cleaning formatting, copy editing, wiki linking etc. as I often do that before accepting AfC submissions, and for evidence of criteria #3 about being kind to new users, I think I've helped a good amount of users understand policies/guidelines/reasons for AfC declines etc, a small subset of these can by verified on my user talk page and I'm also very active on the help IRC (admittedly less during the last week due to a personal event). I'm also knowledgable about copyvios, having cleaned a decent amount, informing users about our policy, answering any questions they sent to me and requesting revdel. I've also reviewed around 20 cases on CopyPatrol. Thanks again for your time :) MolecularPilot🧪️✈️ 05:32, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
