Current requests for reduction in 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.
Current requests for edits 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.
Israel–Hamas war
At present we have "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its Rafah offensive.[1]"
I suggest changing it to include a longer, semantically-complete, quotation, to read: "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.[2]"
As the Guardian article points out, and reports judges as arguing, the last comma is critical to the meaning of the ruling. Hunc (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done - AquilaFasciata (talk | contribs) 13:09, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Actually changed to a version which does not give the same meaning as the full text. I hope that you can change:
On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's military offensive and anything "which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" must be halted."
to
On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that "Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."
The precise grammar, in particular the last comma, is critical to the meaning.

AutopatrolledUser:VaudevillianScientist
I have created over 120 articles (over 40 since 2023) on various STEM-related subjects, several of them received thanks from others and very few have so far had issues. My focus is on STEM-related biographies, concepts, or entities, with sufficient reference links. All my new articles are in the English Wikipedia, but I also do minor edits on factual information in other languages. I'm requesting autopatroller rights in the English Wikipedia to reduce the workload of other editors in reviewing my articles. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 12:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Fanminton
Very good sourced new articles. Very low error rate. Searches in original literature, finds details I never expected to make available for Wikipedia. Creates important, very unique, very useful encyclopaedic articles. Florentyna (talk) 17:47, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Ipscaij
@Ryan shell has suggested me to request autopatrol rights. I'm often creating simple articles about beetles in English (from the groups I'm personally already familiar with or learning about) and later expanding them if the existing resources allow me to do so. This is to allow other people to find this information and pictures more easily (otherwise it's often scattered on the internet and hard to find). I'm requesting autopatroller rights because I create large batches of articles at once, as Ryan mentioned. I only use reliable sources to provide information for Wikipedia Ipscaij (talk) 09:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC) User:Pdebee
Reviewer Aszx5000 recently suggested that I apply for autopatrolled rights. Evidence of my work can be found at my Wikipaedium vitae. Thank you for your time and consideration. Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 20:56, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmedUser:Onlineone22
Dear Wiki Administrators, Over the last few days, I drafted, created, and edited (with very minimal help from other users) the entire 2024 Ohio State University pro-Palestine campus protests article. I am in the process of making significant updates to this article because I have lots of information about the events I would like to add and many sources I have not yet added. I also have contacts who are sending me media, including photos and videos they've taken at the event (with copyright permission), to upload to this article. A Wikipedia Administrator recently made this article Extended Protected. I am very glad that they did this, because I was worried about the potential of vandalism on this article. However, this Wikipedia account no longer qualifies for editing this article because I created this account recently. As a result, in order to streamline my ability to quickly make changes, I would like to request that this account is whitelisted to edit this article. Please let me know if this will be possible. Thank you for your help and contributions! Onlineone22 (talk) 01:30, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Vsabio
I primarily make grammatical changes/fixes (adding commas, fixing possessives, it's vs. it's, that sort of thing). I have no interest in getting involved in contentious content or edits. Vsabio (talk) 16:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

File moverUser:Lunar-akaunto
Hello. I'm requesting file mover rights. I've uploaded 21 files till now. Please note that when I started uploading, I did not know we were supposed to change the file names to English. My reasoning was that the files I uploaded will certainly not need to be moved or used elsewhere as they are non-free and their original titles can be preserved. I changed this, which reflects in my recently uploaded files after a fellow editor's mention regarding the same on my talk page. I'm familiar with Wikipedia:File mover and the first thing I'll do if I'm granted the rights will be to update my previously uploaded file names to English, but I believe it will be helpful in the future and will only use it to rename files uploaded by others when necessary.

New page reviewerUser:Rydex64
I'm interested in participating in reviewing articles related to music, people, films, and companies pending in the New pages feed backlog. I have been active in NPP and New pages feed, carefully reviewing notability and WP:BEFORE. Has good knowledge of notability guidelines. I would love to request a 3-month trial run. Thanks! Additionally; Recently identified a suspected case of WP:UPE. After thoroughly analyzing the user's activities, I reported the issue, resulting in their indefinite ban. Here; User Page 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 19:57, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
User:TheNuggeteer
I have over 1,400 edits and I have participated in both AFC and AFD, I also created more than 30 articles. I would like to help reduce the backlog. TheNuggeteer (talk) 12:56, 14 June 2024 (UTC) User:RoboCric
I have been given temporary NPR rights for 2 months trial which ends on 16 June. I don't think I've made any blatant error while reviewing pages and hope that Wikipedia is being benefitted by my reviews. I would still like to keep reducing backlogs of sports articles.

I've created many biographies and have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies. I've fixed vandalism many times and fixed many biography of living persons violations. RowanJ LP (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC) User:TheNuggeteer
I participate routinely on both AFD and AFC, I edit routinely, and I have over 1,300 edits. I reverted some edits in my user history. TheNuggeteer (talk) 12:20, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
User:M S Hassan
I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia articles. I have been an active editor for almost 3 years, with over 16,000 edits. My contributions reflect a solid understanding of Wikipedia's content policies, including verifiability, neutrality, and no original research. I regularly engage in discussions to improve articles. I am committed to ensuring that pending changes are reviewed promptly and accurately. M S Hassan (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2024 (UTC) User:Myrealnamm
Hi there! I'm requesting Pending changes reviewer so I can review changes. I have read Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes and the other pages to read (such as WP:VANDALISM and WP:COPYRIGHT), and I have been fighting vandalism for about 2 months now. Having this user right will help me reduce the number of articles listed at Special:PendingChanges. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC) User:Garsh2

RollbackUser:M S Hassan
I am requesting rollback rights to assist in combating vandalism more efficiently. Over the past several months, I have actively reverted vandalism, I would like to have rollback permissions so that I can revert vandalism faster. I have taken feedback from my previous request seriously and have since ensured to warn users after reverting their edits, including good faith edits. Granting me rollback rights will enable me to help maintain the integrity of Wikipedia more effectively. M S Hassan (talk) 12:02, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Totalirus
Hi. I have been reverting vandalism using UltraViolet for a while (quite a bit last year and getting back into it now), and I meet the criteria for rollback permissions. I would like to have rollback permissions to use Huggle or AntiVandal to revert vandalism faster. Totalirus (talk) 23:23, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
User:JFHJr
I'm active mostly on WP:BLPN and sometimes have to revert problem editors' deeper edits or find the pre-problem version of a BLP manually. I use Twinkle, which has the rollback feature built-in. I've edited responsibly enough over almost 19 years to have never had a sanction or block. Thank you for your consideration. JFHJr (㊟) 01:14, 13 June 2024 (UTC) Addendum: my track record of warning editors appears in BLPN archives, though I rarely template user pages especially when there's an active BLPN discussion that would make doing so unhelpful, antagonistic, and redundant. Thanks again! JFHJr (㊟) 01:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
