Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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: The protection is no longer necessary because This article fails to meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for biographies (WP:NPER and WP:GNG). Despite being tagged since 2016 for issues including lack of sources and potential notability concerns, no substantial improvement has been made. The subject, Khalid bin Talal Al Saud, is primarily notable only as a member of the Saudi royal family, but independent, in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources is lacking. Most references are either outdated or do not provide sustained biographical coverage. Additionally, key claims in the article—including controversial or sensational elements—are not verified by reliable mainstream news outlets, raising concerns under Wikipedia’s Biographies of Living Persons (WP:BLP) policy. Given the absence of verifiable, neutral, and reliable sources, and the failure to address long-standing maintenance tags, this article should be nominated for deletion Ashleyashville (talk) 19:51, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Ashleyashville: This request cannot be parsed. Please ensure it follows formatting consistent with the current or previous methods of submission.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:03, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Not done @Ashleyashville: Nominating an article for deletion should be done at WP:AfD, not here. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:39, 1 May 2025 (UTC)- Oh I am sorry. Thought it needed to be unprotected first. But noted with thanks 197.184.109.8 (talk) 20:41, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.

Autopatrolled[edit]
New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
78 live articles, (64 of which is start class, 5 Cs, 8 Stubs). Only one was deleted which is from 2018. All of the articles are well-sourced. I think this user is good enough for Autopatrolled Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

I had my EC revoked last year by the arbitration committee. I have since completed the required 500 substantial edits to the best of my knowledge. I applied about a month ago and was refused because I didn't clearly understand the requirements. But hopefully this time I got it correctly. Tashmetu (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
I had my ECP revoked 5 months ago. Since then, I've made hundreds of meaningful edits and currently have 806 edits. IdanST (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
I had my EC revoked because of gaming of the system. I believe this happened March 22, 2025. Since then, I have attempted to edit constructively on Wikipedia. I want to see if there is a way that I can get EC. Thanks again
I have one old account with over 9,000 edits and extended confirmed permissions. I tagged it as retired around two years ago, at a time when I was rarely editing due to a busy schedule. Unfortunately, I did not attach an email address to that account and have since forgotten the password, so I can no longer access it. For clarification, the old account has had no recent issues or conflicts on Wikipedia. Currently, I have been editing more actively again—accumulating over 100 edits in just the past five days. I’m wondering if I may be eligible for this request, considering that my current account is legitimate and my previous contributions were substantial and in good standing. — ArćRèv • talk 09:30, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors. I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations. I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I wish to apply for New Page Reviewer permissions to deal with the large backlog of unreviewed pages. I have participated in many AfD discussions, which proves my understanding of Wikipedia's content policies and notability guidelines. JustARandomEditor123 (talk) 10:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
I am an AFC reviewer asking for another trial or permanent permission for this flag. Last time, it was granted by @Sohom Datta: for a 2-month trial after the first month trial was successful. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 04:37, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have 1 denied applied about a month ago because I didn't have 500 undeleted Main space edits at the time. I now have 501 so I am reapplying for temporary permissions. I have a decent amount of experience going through AfDs and source searching to check if they are notability. Moritoriko (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I believe I meet most criteria. Plus I already review scientific articles irl, so I would say I have some experience on reviewing in general. Here to help where needed. Afonso Dimas Martins (talk) 16:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I was given the New Page Reviewer rights as a one-month trial. This permission will expire on 20 April 2025. During this time, I have been doing active reviewing of new pages and learning more about notability, reliable sources, and the CSD/PROD/AfD process. I tried always to be careful and make constructive reviews. I really want to keep helping with this work. So I would like to ask if possible to renew or give the reviewer rights permanently, depending on my work this last month. Thanks a lot for your time and consideration. Ambrosiawater (talk) 09:56, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request temporary rights to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages as there is a huge backlog. I have been working on Wikipedia for past few months as an active user. During this time period, I have learnt a lot of things and learning something new every time I work here. Before these 2 months, I had a little experience on creating pages and within this time period, I started contributing by expanding older or creating new articles mostly within similar topic base. I would be glad to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages and also, learn along the way. I will also be working with the editors of new articles which might be notable but lack sources or other requirements. Thus, I am requesting a temporary grant of this right and I will prove for further grant by doing worthy work. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 09:52, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

I had been planning to request AfC permission but the May backlog drive prompted me to request NPP instead. I am a long-term gnome, vandal-fighter, rollbacker, and occasional Teahouse helper. Since returning from my last wikibreak I have familiarised myself with current policies and contentious topics and am developing a nose for LLM and copyvio content.

I would like to have this flag because I like proofreading and making sure articles are factual and concise. I am a writer for The Griffins' Nest as well. Smartypants327 (talk) 17:53, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Requesting temporary rights to participate in WP:MAY25. Been an editor for a decade now with some experience in AfD, PRODs, and creating new articles so I hope I'll be able to help out with the drive. //Lollipoplollipoplollipop::talk 19:05, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Looking to begin participating. I already review AfC and want to engage in the May drive. Czarking0 (talk) 05:58, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Requesting a renewal as my NPP rights are going to expire in a week. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 11:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi there! I am requesting a NPP trial, particularly for WP:MAY25. I am pretty experienced in CSP, RPP, AfD, and AfC. All the articles that I have created have never been deleted or nominated for AfD either, and i've significantly rewritten quite a few articles. I primarily do recent changes patrol and AfD - but recently, i've been granted AfC reviewer, so i've been doing quite a bit of AfC reviews. I believe that I am extensively knowledgable about Wikipedia's 3 core principles - WP:V, WP:N, and WP:NPOV. I would love to help clean up the NPP backlog with the May 2025 drive!

Hello fellow editors! I'd like to apply for NPR rights. For a while now, I've been contributing in various ways—editing and translating articles, participating in AfD-related activities (both nominating and voting), helping with the welcoming committee, etc.—and I would appreciate it if the community granted me the opportunity to participate in NPR. I believe my knowledge and the experience I've gained from participating in AfD discussions make me eligible for this role.Villkomoses (talk) 14:50, 29 April 2025 (UTC) Villkomoses (talk) 14:50, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
I have been on Wikipedia since my teens and would now like to help with patrolling pages through WP:MAY25 and at least the summer. I have considerable experience with Wikipedia content work and the AFD process. Hmr (talk) 18:06, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, i'm TzarN64! I've been editing articles for awhile and have contributed to good articles in the past. I've noticed that there has been a large influx of unreviewed new pages, and i want to help. I believe i have a good knowledge on AfD's, notablity, and verifiblity, as seen in my previous works on AfD pages. Thank you. TzarN64 (talk) 14:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
I saw the request for new page reviewers at the top of my watchlist. Reviewed one (NGC 2223), looked for how to mark it as reviewed, and found out I need to have this permission. Thanks. -- Pmsyyz (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I am requesting permission to be a Pending Changes Reviewer. I spend most of my day editing Wikipedia. I have gone through almost all the pages under Category:Wikipedia policies, including Wikipedia's policies on vandalism detection, BLP policy, NPOV, Verifiability, and copyright. I have read the Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes guideline. Please consider my request. Somajyoti ✉ 07:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I pass the WP:PCCRITERIA as far as I know, and the right would allow me to help even more to build the encyclopedia by making sure only acceptable edits are approved. Thank you for your consideration. loserhead (talk) 16:26, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
I am eager to work enthusiastically to help reduce the backlog of pending changes by reviewing and maintaining edits. I have read and understood WP:VAND, and I will issue procedural warnings and welcome new users who edit articles under PCR protection. AɭʋaKʰedək (talk) 21:02, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
I’ve been patrolling and working on a lot of Pakistani BLP and other no-protection articles on MNAs, MPAs, and programs. Several IP vandals have made changes which I can’t undo. Particularly on the Sehat Sahulat Program, I need a rollback. Titan2456 (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Been dealing with the Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Demographics vandal LTA and would prefer using mass-rollback to revert his contributions instead of manually. Only intended to use the tool in relation to this user and I have no desire to use rollback elsewhere. I do check the ip to make sure it is a proxy/webhost as well. Traumnovelle (talk) 11:42, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I have been on Wikipedia for over a year and have made over 1k edits. I mostly edit and monitor history articles. Several articles are sometimes disrupted knowingly or unknowingly by editors for which I have to revert. Having Rollback right would make the patrolling work easier and help to combat vandalism. I am aware of most of Wikipedia polices (WP:OR,WP:NPOV,WP:RS,etc.) I have also authored few articles like Bajirao I see [10]. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 07:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I am a recent graduate from the [| Counter Vandalism Academy] and have been conducting counter vandalism using the Recent Edits page, and Twinkle. My tutor at the CVA, Cassiopeia, suggested I apply for rollback permission once I had completed my course, so that I could properly use Huggle for counter vandalism work. I have once previously applied for rollback permission, over 18 months ago, however this was understandably declined because it was premature. Since then, I have undertaken considerably more counter vandalism work (which I typically manage to undertake 2-5 hours per week) and I feel being able to use Huggle would significantly improve efficiency. I would also be happy to only be granted rollback permission on a trial basis, if that is an option. Thank you. Cabrils (talk) 04:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello admins, I’m respectfully requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Huggle. Patrolling recent changes is what I enjoy most on Wikipedia, and I’ve found that it’s where I can make the most impact with the time I have available. I've made 1840 edits since January. At present, I review edits by right-clicking the diff link to open changes in a new tab in Chrome and then use RedWarn to revert and warn users when appropriate. While this process works, it's time-consuming and not ideal for high-volume patrolling. Having rollback rights would allow me to use Huggle, which would significantly increase my productivity and responsiveness in handling vandalism. Earlier, I made two requests for different user rights but withdrew them after realizing that my interest lies more in patrolling and counter-vandalism than in article creation or extended content curation. That said, I have written one article and contributed to creating another recently, and I do plan to continue helping in content areas where I can. I also take direction well and am open to feedback. Thank you for considering my request. m a MANÍ1990(talk | contribs) 21:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC) |

Template editor[edit]
For quite a while now (a year? years? I don't know), I've been frequently making changes to various taxonomic articles to help cut down on Special:WhatLinksHere/Template: Taxobox (there's a relatively new set of templates, such as {{Automatic taxobox}} and {{Speciesbox}}, which is intended to largely replace {{Taxobox}}). These newer templates make use of another set of new templates, {{Taxonomy}}, in order to cut down on difficulties making and maintaining the "Scientific classification" portion of the infoboxes in taxonomic articles. For example, {{Taxonomy/Homo}} is used by the {{Speciesbox}} on Homo sapiens in order to automatically figure out that the genus Homo is in the subtribe Hominina, then uses {{Taxonomy/Hominina}} to figure out that we're in the tribe Hominini, and so on up through the various taxonomic ranks. In the case of Homo, this is all already done, of course, but it's fairly common that when editing a taxonomic article to update it to the new {{Automatic taxobox}} scheme, you'll also have to create a new {{Taxonomy}} template to go along with it. Also, fairly often I'll notice that an existing {{Taxonomy}} template is missing a reference, or that its parent {{Taxonomy}} template is, so I usually try to update that while I'm there. And that's what leads me to this request: For most {{Taxonomy}} templates, no special permission is needed to edit them. But once it gets high enough up the taxonomic tree (maybe the Family level? not sure exactly), editing them requires this permission. I don't run into this situation very often, but I do run into it once in a while, and in fact I just ran into it a few minutes ago. So, I would like this permission in order to be able to just make such changes myself rather than opening up a new section on the talk page or whatever, describing the proposed change there, et cetera. Beyond this specific taxonomy-related stuff, I have on occasion made other template changes in the past, and to modules too (though in that case, almost entirely -- maybe literally entirely, not sure -- just to my own personal MediaWiki-based sites). I don't use Lua very often, but I have used it both in and out of MediaWiki, and before I retired I was a professional computer programmer for decades. I've also been a Wikipedian for decades (I believe 100% in good standing, but certainly at the very least very close to 100%), and have made thousands of edits, including hundreds of template edits (mostly but not entirely of this taxonomical sort). - Rwv37 (talk) 22:10, 25 April 2025 (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.
