I am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26. I have been active on a number of online projects - active and passive (SETI@Home, Distributed Proofreaders, Mars crater labeling, Stardust@Home, Folding@Home on the Wikipedia team: Team page, etc.)

Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

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.


Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – This article covers an obviously highly controversial topic. The talk page even has a Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement template yet the article itself has no protection. ―Howard🌽33 21:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Note: I don't really see that this falls under said arbitration enforcement...it is broadly construed, but not that broadly, and you would have to go from Arab via Nazi to Israel which didn't exist as a state during the time the article mainly covers; I was bold an removed the template. Lectonar (talk) 07:08, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: WP:ARBPIA 69.118.230.235 (talk) 21:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Addition of unsourced content by IP users. Telenovelafan215 (talk) 22:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Aoidh (talk) 22:21, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Several reverts, including from non-EC editors, involving EC (Israel-Palestine conflict) articles and news topics. Needs ArbCom EC protection. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:44, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: ArbCom protection needed for PIA. Already a couple of reverts on the article. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruption from UK IP Special:Contributions/86.148.205.61. The named account User:Naiim Reid-Le Blanc was also involved at Maxïmo Park discography. Binksternet (talk) 02:18, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. Per WP:PIA, non ecp editor changing the name of Israel Wiiformii (talk) 02:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The page is quite a hot topic in the US right now - I came from google to see what "DEI" actually meant and saw the page was recently vandalised and the talk page is quite heated. I've reverted the vandalism but I'd like to suggest locking the page to edits to prevent future vandalism. Pfych (talk) 02:36, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from various IP addresses since 02:42, 16 July 2024‎, claiming Pyongyang as the site of the Olympics. Panian513 02:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from various IP addresses since 02:33, 16 July 2024‎, making up various fictitious successor operating systems. Panian513 02:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Resumed IP-driven vandalism since the expiry of the last protection template on 04:34, 24 May 2024. Panian513 02:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism from IPs since 00:53, 4 March 2024‎. Same vandal as the one targeting Bids for the 2036 Summer Olympics, with same methods. Panian513 02:51, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism from random IPs which could possibly come from the same person since 00:37, 1 April 2024 or 23:44, 15 June 2024‎. Unexplained removal of sources from IP user. Shout4Serenity (talk) 03:00, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Indef ECP, WP:ARBPIA Ccole2006 (talk) 03:21, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Indef ECP, WP:ARBPIA Ccole2006 (talk) 03:21, 25 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.

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.


I wish to contest the following line in the article: "Cheatle also acknowledged that the Secret Service had rebuffed requests for additional resources for Trump's security detail in the two years leading up to the assassination attempt." First, this line has no footnotes to reference it's origin. Looking through the sites linked in the footnotes previous to this line and the line following it, nothing indicates the veracity of that statement. Instead, one can see lawmakers trying to infer this conclusion during her Congressional testimony regarding the attempted assassination of former President Trump, while she denies it. 2601:547:CA01:3C4E:8BC:6A39:2650:79D4 (talk) 09:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Joe Roe, you declined this previously. Do you want to have another look? Schwede66 06:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry I don't have time to look at this properly right now. I'm happy for another admin to process it as they see fit. – Joe (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Joe Roe, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
C1K98V, I've had a look at your last five articles. They are generally clean, if short. What makes you think, though, that cast lists don't need references? That appears to be a problem with every article that you produce. Schwede66 22:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Schwede66, I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your feedback. I understand and value the importance of verifiability. I apologize to you for not including references in the cast section. I will fix my past creation. Moving forward, I will ensure doing the same. I assure you that you won't regret it. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 02:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Give me a ping, please, when you've done a few of your past pages. I shall take another look, C1K98V. Schwede66 05:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Schwede66 Sure, I will let you know once I fix my past creations. In the meantime, you can have a look at The Heist (2024 film), Let's Get Divorced and Bloody Ishq. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello Schwede66, I tried to fix my last eleven articles as per your input. I would appreciate your feedback on the same. Thank you C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
 Done I've given autopatrolled for six months. Before that expires in January 2025, please come back here for another check in. Schwede66 19:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Applying for the right as my edits were rationale. I have undergone all the criterions and I fit in all. I am well aware about Star Missispi and Joe Roe's earlier declines, but now I am fully washed and proved myself eligible for the right. From AFD/CSD to AfC reviews, and developing a handful of drafts for acceptance, I can now proudly say that I am eligible for the role. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([3]). MusikBot talk 15:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
So what MusikBot? What's your problem?? Can't an user improved against AI bot like you? Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Uh.... that just auto replies showing recently declined requests. I'm really not sure what you think responding to the bot will do. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I don't believe I've ever declined a request from autopatrolled from you, Twinkle1990. You had the right revoked by Star Mississippi in June 2023 and subsequent requests for it were denied by Novem Linguae.[4] Hey man im josh,[5] and Rosguill.[6] That last time (two months ago) Rosguill told you it was more of a "never" than a "not now".  Not done and please do not ask again, it is becoming disruptive. – Joe (talk) 15:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@Joe Roe you are an involved admin. Can you please left over to non-involved Admins? Why you are everywhere? User Maximilian Janisch treated you fine while you hammered his article and profile here. Kindly don't abuse you admin POWER. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) @Twinkle1990, observing this from the capacity as someone who is not an admin (but none the less a long-time editor), I'd suggest you may consider taking heed of Joe's advice and back away from this for a while (maybe until at least next year). I note in your rationale you consider yourself "suitable for the role", so one may wonder how well you understand what autopatrolled is (though I am sure you know it doesn't impact your editing ability). Bungle (talkcontribs) 16:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done If it helps your peace of mind, here's something from another admin. Schwede66 22:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
As far as I can see my only interactions with you to date have been to participate in the ANI thread that led to the revocation of your rights and decline your request for NPR four months ago. As I was acting in an administrative role both times, that doesn't make me involved. – Joe (talk) 07:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Good to see that ANI thread that was created by a Sock and commented by a few other sock users. No hard feeling. I won't apply again before 2006. Twinkle1990 (talk) 13:39, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

The file movers also appreciated my rename requests [7]. I'm a file mover and patroller on Commons, and I've moved over 1000 files so far.

 Not done. Thank you for volunteering, but in reviewing your editing history I wasn't able to find sufficient experience with the deletion process and notability guidelines to feel comfortable granting you the permission at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:46, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I actively edit article and patrol "recent changes" to fight vandalism using ultraviolet and twinkle, I also created and help expanding a few articles. I notice that very high backlog and want to help with that. I want to help with Philippine related, Anime related, and Japan related articles. Thanks. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 08:31, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for volunteering @Miminity, but I'm afraid I'm not enough experience with the deletion process to feel comfortable granting a trial at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation.  Not done. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been requested by a user to review his articles: User talk:Mika1h#Game engine coverage. Might as well review some other articles too but I don't plan to do it long-term. Mika1h (talk) 19:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: I did plan on looking into this before it expired 😅 but no harm done. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Wait I'm super confused now looking at the user rights log [9]. It says it expired in August but it's not August. Novem Linguae any idea what's going on? Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:50, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
That's normal behaviour @Clovermoss. We just simply wait and the perm will not be removed :) Hey man im josh (talk) 13:52, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
It is? I genuinely didn't realize that. I don't think I've seen this before (but okay). My other question looking at this is if you actually extended the right? It looks like it expires the same time as before. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:54, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: That's just the other weird quirk of it that every admin working at perm eventually finds out about. If you try to change their rights, you'll see it's set to "does not expire". Hey man im josh (talk) 13:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

No hard feeling. I won't apply again before 2006. I would hope the NPP backlogs to be fastened. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to review some pages—particularly within Wikiprojects SCOTUS and Law. Also, I sometimes help autopatrolled users move drafts to mainspace over existing redirects via WP:RM/TR, and would like to be able to mark those as reviewed. (E.g., this one is yet to be reviewed.)

Requests for page mover

[edit]


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)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting pending changes review rights to improve my anti-vandalism work here on Wikipedia. I frequently revert instances of vandalism and am willing to assist with pending changes revisions. Thank you. doclys (❀) 14:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I actively warn users who vandalize/disrupt the pages using Twinkle as well as report them to ARV either after final warning or when an account is clearly for vandalism only, but sometimes I assume good faith just leave a note on their talk page. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 12:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Ah yes you are correct, my apologies I'm not sure how I missed that.  Done -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Very active in counter vandalism (very likely have over 1000 reverts at this point), have rollback on simple, do X wiki counter-vandalism as well. Think rollback would be helpful. Read and understood WP:Rollback and meet the guidelines above. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Given that your block for disruptive editing & edit warring expired just a month ago. I'd like to see you establish a track record of constructive contributions for at least several months before assigning you advanced permissions. -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

[edit]

I have been contributing to Wikipedia for 14 years where I have made numerous edits to templates. When I've wanted to contribute to templates that were protected I have made edit requests which have been successful. I would love to be able to make these edits without the need to provide an edit request. I understand this would be a privilege which I would not abuse. As an editor I have never engaged in edit wars, vandalised any pages or been blocked (except for when I was contributing from a proxy IP which was not due to any actions by me). I believe I fulfil all bar one of the Standard Guidelines for a template editor, the only exception being number 5 as I have not contributed to a template sandbox. I am hoping that this does not affect my request and that my history on here and my willingness to help make my application successful.

A current project I am working on: Several flag templates have been recently moved in line with the proper naming convention of templates, however these have not all been updated within other templates creating a template redirect; I would like to contribute by updating templates used on templates to avoid that redirect. Thank you. 6ii9 (talk) 10:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"

    [edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.
