Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.
  • 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: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)

@Axedd: Is the long-term abuser that caused the article to be ECP'd still active on other articles? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:46, 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)
The case page is not a reliable indicator of if an LTA is active or not, especially if they're reveling in the attention. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:28, 9 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 article was protected back in 2010, when protecting standards were far lower. I believe it's now ready to go unprotected, Cheers. 50.100.53.53 (talk) 04:02, 7 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)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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.


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 ‥  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)

I would like to request that... (To follow up on the rejection of my previous edit request, my proposal is to shift the focus from the past to the present. We should stop referring to the Arameans as if they are no longer extant. When discussing the historical Arameans in the 'History' tab, please specify them as 'ancient Arameans.'

Additionally, the "Top" tab should be moved to the "History" tab, as it discusses the Arameans of antiquity.

Instead, the "Top" tab should include an introduction to the modern Arameans, such as the following:

---

    • Modern Arameans**

The **Arameans** are an indigenous ethnic group native to the **Near East**, with their most prominent historical and cultural presence in **southeastern Turkey**, particularly in the **region of Tur Abdin**. Modern Arameans trace their cultural and historical lineage to the ancient Arameans, a Semitic people who originated in the Levant and rose to prominence during the first millennium BCE. The Arameans played a significant role in shaping the linguistic, cultural, and religious heritage of the Near East and Mesopotamia, particularly through the spread of the Aramaic language.[1][2]

Today, modern Arameans primarily identify with Christian communities, including the Syriac Orthodox, Syriac Catholic, and Maronite churches. Some Arameans also identify as Assyrians or Chaldeans based on ecclesiastical or regional distinctions, though all share linguistic and cultural roots connected to the ancient Arameans and their legacy.[3][4]

      1. Language and Cultural Legacy

The Aramaic language, introduced by the ancient Arameans, became the lingua franca of the Near East during the first millennium BCE and maintained its significance under various empires, including the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian Empires. Today, **Neo-Aramaic dialects**, such as **Turoyo**, are spoken by Aramean communities, particularly in southeastern Turkey, northeastern Syria, and the diaspora. These dialects represent some of the oldest continuously spoken languages, with a rich literary and liturgical tradition still used in Christian rites.[5][6][7]

Aramaic has also influenced other languages, including Hebrew and Arabic, and played a pivotal role in cultural and religious exchanges in the ancient world. Its historical significance is highlighted by its use as the language spoken by Jesus, cementing its importance within Christian heritage.[8][9]

      1. Religious Identity

The modern Arameans are predominantly Christian, adhering to denominations that use Classical Syriac as a liturgical language. These include the **Syriac Orthodox Church**, the **Syriac Catholic Church**, and, to some extent, the **Maronite Church**. The Arameans were among the earliest groups to embrace Christianity, alongside Assyrians, Greeks, Armenians, and Nabataeans. Christianity remains a core aspect of Aramean identity and has profoundly shaped their cultural preservation over centuries.[10][11]

      1. Geographic Distribution and Modern Diaspora

The traditional homeland of the Arameans includes parts of modern-day southeastern Turkey (notably **Tur Abdin**), Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Within Turkey, the monasteries and villages of Tur Abdin remain a vital center of Aramean cultural and religious life. Political instability, civil wars, and regional conflicts have forced many Arameans to migrate. Today, large diaspora communities exist in **Europe**, particularly in **Sweden**, **Germany**, and **the Netherlands**, as well as in **North America** and **Australia**.[12][13]

Despite these challenges, Arameans have remained active in preserving their identity, culture, and language. Neo-Aramaic language education, religious practices, and cultural advocacy are central to their efforts in maintaining their heritage in both their traditional homelands and diaspora.[14][15]

      1. Historical Challenges and Modern Advocacy

Aramean communities have faced numerous challenges throughout history, including forced displacement, assimilation pressures, and cultural erasure. During the early 20th century, the **Sayfo genocide** (1915–1917) led to the mass killing and displacement of Arameans, alongside other Christian minorities, during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.[16][17]

More recently, the rise of extremist groups in **Syria** and **Iraq**, such as **ISIS**, has threatened the survival of Aramean communities in their traditional homelands. These groups have targeted Arameans and other minorities, leading to further displacement and endangerment of their cultural heritage.[18][19]

In response, Aramean advocacy organizations have worked to preserve their language, culture, and history. This includes efforts to gain recognition as a distinct ethnic group in countries such as Sweden and Israel, where significant Aramean communities exist. Additionally, restoration of historical monuments, documentation of their cultural practices, and promotion of Neo-Aramaic education are integral to these preservation efforts.[20][21]

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

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)

During the temporary stint granted as autopatrolled, I have created over 100 pages following the suggestions of the admin.

  • 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.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

I see that there is a large backlog, so I would like to help reduce it, especially the redirects, as I have more experience with them. I have not created any articles, but I have read the tutorials for NPR and related pages, so I will not make any unintentional (or intentional) detrimental edits. I am familiar with WP:BLAR, WP:PROD and WP:AfD, and have behaved civilly with other editors. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Typically we would hope for a bit more experience, but I've liked what I've seen from you.  Done for a two-month trial, thank you for volunteering. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing Wikipedia for nearly 10 years with over 1000 edits, with 32 live articles primarily (yes, mistakenly got a copyright report for an article) focusing on topic elated to asian audio visual and the institute in Bangladesh.

Thank you for considering my request. UzbukUdash (talk) 06:49, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done, having reviewed your participation at AfD, I'm not seeing any clear indication that you understand the relevant policies, guidelines, and discussion norms. signed, Rosguill talk 17:36, 10 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 know the rules of Wikipedia and the essential points determining if an article is eligible or not. I see drafts being submitted but they are clearly not ready to be accepted and unfortunately I can't do anything at this time. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC) SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 15:24, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in this permission. However, I'm concerned that your AfD participation is largely limited to pile-on votes at this time and is not indicative of sufficient understanding of relevant policies and guidelines. Some of the reasoning and wording of these !votes is further concerning (e.g. at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Cordeiro, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Januário Jesus).  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 17:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)


I'm requesting new page reviewer rights.

Hello I'm TyphoonAmpil. I'm meet all minimum requirements. I'm over 45+ AfC reviews and 5+ Accepted drafts. I'm adding tags {{orphan}} and {{uncategorized}} tags. I'm created 4 articles named Tropical Storm Maria (2024), Typhoon Ampil (2024), Typhoon Shanshan (2024), Typhoon Krathon. ~🌀 Ampil 💬 / 📝 04:54, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Help out with the backlog. Well informed on content policies and guidelines. Fairly steady AfD participation history (looking past the big ugly chunk of "speedy keep" on my AfD history from a few hours ago, where I AfD'd a set of related articles but then decided to withdraw and WP:BLAR them instead.) ~~~~ RachelTensions (talk) 03:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Requesting NPR rights; Nearly 2700 total live edits. While I am familiar with AfC and article creation (three articles under my name, working on a fourth), I am admittedly not terribly familiar with AfD, PROD, or CSD. However, I am reading and re-reading these pages to familiarize myself. I believe I have a favorable history of interaction. I've been on Wikipedia for over a decade, and I have absorbed much, though I still have a significant amount to learn; that being said, I wish to become more active and more directly-involved. No behavioral blocks or 3RR violations. I commit to 'patrol' on a voluntary basis and to avoid conflicts of interest. Thank you for your time and consideration! MWFwiki (talk) 03:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for volunteering, MWFwiki. Looking at AfCstats, unless there's a mistake there, it doesn't look like you've reviewed any AfC articles? And as far as article creation goes, we're really looking for something more in the range of 25+ creations You don't have to do them all, but even from someone with your experience we need to see some prior experience in at least one of the areas mentioned under point 2 of WP:NPRCRITERIA before granting this right, sorry –  Not done for the bot. Please do consider giving WP:AFC reviewing a go. – Joe (talk) 07:56, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
Sure, thing! Thank you :-) MWFwiki (talk) 10:28, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I believe I meet all of the NPP criteria. I have experience at AFD, having a lifetime match rate of around 80%, and have been a reviewer at AFC as well. I don't believe I have any other significant issues. I wish to gain this right in order to help with the backlog of new pages needing review, both in order to help the community and to gain more experience.

Hello! I am requesting again for New Page Reviewer, although quite fast but I am a fast lerner. I just wanna have a trial here since I am helping sometimes in NewPagesFeed like maintenance tags like {{unreferenced}}, {{orphan}} and {{uncategorized}} or rarely i clean up the articles too, it just a minor helps. I am a AfC reviewer too since October 2024. I can multitasking on New Page and reviewing draft articles in afc. Although, I have a blocked here but it was a misunderstanding and false blocking so they unblock my account. I am participating on AfD and sometimes i nominate it, also on CSD too in NewPageFeed, if I see a just a spam, vandalism or a promotion of a article, i immediately add a csd. If you granted me, it will my pleasure. Thanks! Royiswariii Talk! 16:20, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedian,

I am requesting for New Page Reviewer rights to enhance my contributions to Wikipedia. With major experience in article creation, editing, and compliance to Wikipedia’s guidelines, I am passionate to help ensure new pages meet quality standards. I am committed to improving the Wikipedia community and would greatly appreciate your consideration.

Thank you for your time! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 18:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. You still have not taken the advice given to you and lack the appropriate experience at this point in time. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:51, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

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)

I've read and understood WP:RPC and will proceed slowly at first (that is, leave what I deem edge cases to someone else). JayCubby Talk 17:23, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

My next logical request for permission, one that I don't suppose I can utilize alongside Ultraviolet to stop the bad faith one-timers and vandals where I watch. Although, I must admit, I should simultaneously take care to not get into any content dispute I see; I'll do my best not to get into one this way. Thanks for considering (again). 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

P.S.: as a sure guarantee my use of rollback is done safely and without causing any significant issue, I'll use Mr. Stradivarius' ConfirmRollback. 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:45, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like rollback permissions to make fighting vandalism quicker and easier. I have been reverting vandalism for over 1 month and have experience with tools such as Twinkle and Ultraviolet. I would also like to be able to have access to Huggle to make my anti-vandalism experience easier. MouseCursor (talk) 13:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

This permission will help me in combating vandalism. I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes, always warning users when necessary, assuming good faith, and taking full responsibility for all my edits. I also do crosswiki patrolling and recently joined the SWMT. — Jet Pilot (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I had been actively patrolling RC in 2023 but paused for a long time since I was too busy. I plan to resume soon and would like rollback rights to make it easier. However, I mostly edit on my school computer so I am unable to use any tools such as Huggle, RedWarn, etc. Thank you for considering my request.

Note from 07:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC): I had just been informed that RedWarn can be used on a school computer, so it's very likely that I will be using it. xRozuRozuteacups 23:57, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism by undoing edits, warning users, and monitoring several pages to keep them protected. Rollback rights would make my efforts faster and more efficient. I am familiar with WP:VANDAL. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 07:15, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
