  Being discussed with the user. They seem like the typical "I totally misunderstand what WP is" new user as opposed to a malicious spammer, and they didn't touch any article content. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 22:36, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Beeblebrox: They did, however, create a draft that is quite blatant advertising, but I will respect your judgement. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  @TornadoLGS: I'm glad you mentioned that as I had meant to delete the draft, but got distracted by lunch. Some of us are trying a different approach, trying to notify users of these issues instead of no-warning blocks, provided they have not posted promotional content in actual articles.

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Request unprotection

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.

Foundational Black American

• Foundational Black American (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: I am writing to respectfully request the removal of the edit protection on the "Foundational Black Americans" page. I believe that the current state of the page does not accurately represent the term and may inadvertently mislead readers.

Issue at Hand:

When searching for "Foundational Black Americans," the page redirects to an individual, which does not provide a definition or proper context of the term. This is concerning because:

Misrepresentation: "Foundational Black Americans" refers to a lineage of Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States and have developed a distinct cultural heritage over generations. It is not a term beholden to any single person or leader.

Ethnogenesis and Cultural Significance: Black Americans have undergone a unique process of ethnogenesis, evolving from labels such as "Negro" and "Colored" to "African American," and now embracing "Foundational Black Americans" to acknowledge their specific historical and cultural identity.

Potential Misinformation: Redirecting to an individual's page may contribute to misinformation and does not align with Wikipedia's commitment to providing neutral and accurate information.

Request:

I kindly request that the edit protection be lifted to allow for collaborative efforts in:

Creating a Dedicated Page: Developing a comprehensive article that defines "Foundational Black Americans" as a lineage, supported by reliable sources.

Gangwar_(surname)

• Gangwar (surname) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: I would like to request the unprotection of the Gangwar surname Wikipedia page. Currently, the page is semi-protected, which limits editing to more experienced editors, but this has hindered efforts to improve the page. The page lacks crucial information about the Gangwar clan and its historical background, including details from Vedic texts and other historical references.

As the Gangwar clan's history is deeply rooted in Vedic literature and other historical texts, it requires the expertise of scholars who are familiar with these sources to update the page. Normal editors may not fully grasp the significance of these references, and the semi-protection of the page could delay the process of incorporating the necessary academic and historical context.

It is important to include information about the Gangwar clan's regional distributions, its connections to other communities, and its role in historical events to improve the page’s accuracy and quality. Additionally, updating the page with proper citations and references from respected sources will greatly enhance the credibility of the article.

I respectfully request that the page be unprotected so that scholars and experts can contribute to the article and provide a more comprehensive and accurate account of the Gangwar surname and its historical context.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 4rju9 (talk) 04:20, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

@4rju9: We do not entertain requests made via chatbot. Discuss it with Daniel Case, who protected it under the auspices of WP:GS/CASTE. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{threads critiques} 06:44, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Daniel Case The page was semi-protected due to edit wars, which are no longer an issue. It needs updating to include historical information about the Gangwar clan, referenced in Vedic texts and historical sources. The page currently lacks information about the Gangwar clan, including historical context, regional distribution, and connections to other communities. Unprotection will allow me and the other scholars to contribute citations and improve the article’s quality and credibility.

if possible, i would appreciate temporary unprotection or the opportunity to work collaboratively to improve the page.

Declined The page was semi-protected due to edit wars - no, it wasn't, it was extended-confirmed protected instead. which are no longer an issue - which means the protection is working. If you have a request for an edit to be made, use {{edit extended-protected}} on the talk page. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 07:48, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

the current page has zero historical information about the gangwar clan, and when i tried to add new information with all the source and vedic books. the editors continuously rejected the request even after me providing the sources. the extended-confirmed protected protection is limiting me to update the page. there are no reference nor any information it has basic information about their cast which is kurmi and no vedic information as mentioned in the books. they were part of so many wars and their relation with their ancestors is not mentioned nor the editors are allowing me to update. what is the solution of it. because when i share the historical references from vedic and historical books they are getting rejected.@Pppery @Daniel Case 4rju9 (talk) 08:05, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

so many historical and vedic information can be added to the aritcl but the editors are not putting any efforts in updating it or finding about it. nor letting anyone else to update it. 4rju9 (talk) 08:07, 24 January 2025 (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

Request edit

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.

Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC) I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC) @Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep".

I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia.

Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk) (Non-administrator comment) You are currently not adding to the "workload of new page patrollers", in fact, your creations need to be watched closely. Not when I specifically told you here that the pieces you presented to inquire about Bobo Ajudua are thrash and nonsensical and told you to focus elsewhere instead of on an article that has been deleted several times. Yet, you went ahead to create it, and now, it has been deleted again? via AfD. And this? Your creations need to be watched and that is what the NPP is for.

I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC) Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here.

Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC) Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC) @C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC) Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [2]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration.

Furthermore, I am currently trying to accept a request, but I do not have the permissions. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk2me!) (stalk me?!) 13:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC) @Ali Beary Given your recent WP:CUTPASTE move, I'd like to see a little more time for you to demonstrate your knowledge of Wikipedia policies and procedures before granting additional permissions. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 22:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC) @Ahecht, ah, apologies. I didn't realize a "request moves" page existed, and I do not have move or merge permissions. I was simply undoing something that wasn't correct... hence why I requested move perms earlier so I could fix it.

Requests for rollback

Rollback (add request · view requests) User:Cmrc23 Cmrc23 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) Hello, I was temporarily granted rollback permissions to see how I do, and they are due to expire on the 27th. I believe I have been diligent and careful with this permission, and I only use it when necessary. I always warn users and I create discussions on article talk pages where necessary. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 14:43, 21 January 2025 (UTC)  Automated comment This user was granted temporary rollback rights by Pppery (expires 18:41, 27 January 2025 (UTC)). — MusikBot talk 14:50, 21 January 2025 (UTC) @Cmrc23: It looks like you're using generic rollback even on edits that aren't obvious vandalism (where vandalism is defined as being "deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose, which is to create a free encyclopedia") or other categories of rollback that don't need an explanatory edit summary. For example, while removing a reference might be vandalism, it could also be based on good-faith belief that the source is unreliable. Similarly, this rollback doesn't seem to be of obvious vandalism. Going forward, would you include the reason in the edit summary when reverting any edits that don't fall into one of criteria 1–5 at WP:ROLLBACKUSE? SilverLocust 💬 18:59, 21 January 2025 (UTC) I was a little hasty with those two in particular, but I will make sure. I presumed my warning on their talk page was enough, but I try to not use it when it's not necessary (again, was hasty there, apologise) Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 19:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)  Done. Extended by 1 month. SilverLocust 💬 04:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC) User:Footballnerd2007 Footballnerd2007 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) I’m requesting rollback tool to help with vandalism fighting more effectively. I’ve been active in counter-vandalism work and have a good understanding of policies like WP:VAND and WP:AGF. While I’ve made mistakes in the past, I’ve taken the feedback onboard, slowed down, and focused on making more accurate judgements. Rollback would allow me to handle clear vandalism more efficiently without cluttering edit histories. I’m committed to using it responsibly and only for obvious cases of vandalism, leaving more complex issues for discussion or reporting. Thank you for considering my request.

Requests for template editor

Template editor (add request · view requests) User:WikiGiancarloC2 WikiGiancarloC2 (t · th · c · del · cross-wiki · SUL · edit counter · pages created (xtools · sigma) · non-automated edits · BLP edits · undos · manual reverts · rollbacks · logs (blocks · rights · moves) · rfar · spi · cci) (assign permissions)(acc · ap · ev · fm · mms · npr · pm · pc · rb · te) I am requesting permission to access the template editor. I intend to modify Template:Infobox sports rivalry to add a field for the most points scored in a game within the Infobox. I believe this addition would be beneficial for NFL rivalry pages, as it would highlight the highest-scoring game between the teams. If I am unable to obtain permission, I would appreciate it if someone else could assist with this modification. WikiGiancarloC2 (talk) 23:24, 22 January 2025 (UTC)  Automated comment This user has had an account for 336 days and has 57 edits in the template and module namespaces. — MusikBot talk 23:30, 22 January 2025 (UTC) @WikiGiancarloC2: That template is only semi-protected, so you already have the necessary permissions to edit it. If there are template-protected pages you would like to edit, please make your changes to the sandbox version of the template (such as Template:Infobox sports rivalry/sandbox) and then make an edit request on the template's talk page.  Not done.

"Do you want to take a survey?"

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.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
