Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Vandalism and Disruptive editing. Lahsim Niasoh (talk) 16:53, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lahsim Niasoh can you show diffs of what’s vandalism and disruptive editing? – robertsky (talk) 08:36, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
I think Vandalism is happening on this article but I can't tell you difference between Vandalism and Disruptive editing, Sorry for that. Could you please give me links so that I can learn more about it. Lahsim Niasoh (talk) 08:48, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
@Lahsim Niasoh you can look through the edit history of the article by clicking on ‘View history’, and then go through each contribution. If there are contributions that are of vandalism or disruptive in nature, you can paste the link to it here. You can read more on how diffs work at HELP:DIFF. Please do so soon before this report gets too dated. The recent edits may be more productive than disruptive. – robertsky (talk) 08:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lahsim Niasoh some of them are old (19 July links?) or content related changes made on good faith (I.e. the removal of unsourced content or discriptor of it being anti-government protest). For the former, there’s no action required. For the latter, use the article’s talk page for further discussion.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent writing credits vandalism - same with The Terminator. CRBoyer 04:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Someone is repeatedly adding a link to unofficial website in this Wiki Article. It is recommended to restrict edits.

In spite of blocking the IP address (as per the last protection request), the unofficial website was again added. Clearly, just blocking IP isn't enough.

Please protect the page. Thanks. Samuel Johnson (talk) 05:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@SamuelJohnson how do you that it is an unofficial website? – robertsky (talk) 10:17, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
1. There is no reason to believe that it is. There are many reasons to believe that it isn't.
2. It is not linked in Official ISRO Website (www.isro.gov.in), or in any Indian Government website.
3. Official government websites are 'gov.in' domains.
4. Website seems to be hosted in United Kingdom, not India.
5. Even if it is a genuine website, it may not be the official website, therefore shouldn't be linked in Wikipedia Article as 'Official Website'. Samuel Johnson (talk) 12:52, 27 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.


In "Early life and education", the article says "In 2003 she enrolled at the University of Mississippi". The source for that paragraph as archived (https://archive.ph/ek0sE) states that she "dropped out for good in 2001".

I suggest changing "In 2003 she enrolled..." to something like "She enrolled at the University of Mississippi, studying journalism and political science and writing for The Daily Mississippian, but left the school in 2001." Or of course, add a source for her enrolling in 2003. Elizabeth Internet (talk) 06:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting so I can help streamline small edits like typos, general maintenance, and so on. NyanThousand (talk) 12:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

So last night I made over 50-70 edits on the page Jim Cornette in order to hit 500 edits so I can edit more articles about politics because I was limited on what I could edit. Last night I didn't know I was breaking the rules, I found out when an administrator went on my talk page and said I lost extended confirmed status. He also told me I can't be trusted with extended confirmed status because those 50-70 edits weren't genuine. I think I can be trusted, I went over 2 months with making over 400 edits, and throughout those 2 months I haven't been blocked once and most my edits were productive, there were hardly any mistakes so I got hardly any warnings throughout the months. And when I hit 500 edits I edited the page about Hamas, my edits were constructive and I added valuable information and images to the page. I'm here to make pages better, if I get extended confirmed status again there won't be original research, edit warring, or vandalism, I've made hundreds of edits without doing that. So can I be trusted and get my extended confirmed thing back? autowikibrowser rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 00:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I didn't know gaming extended confirmed isnt allowed. I had no idea, if I did I wouldn't have did it, I didnt know doing that was a problem, and why do I have to make a few hundread more constructive edits, Ive already made 420-430 of them in the past 2 months. And also it'll probably take a long time to get a few hundred more edits, I'm busy most of the day, I have a job and 3 kids to take care of.

I've already declined their request for this that they improperly placed at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/AutoWikiBrowser (pl). Don't want to decline again myself but would suggest another admin do so. This discussion also relevant: User talk:ScottishFinnishRadish#ARBPIA gaming (pl). Elli (talk | contribs) 02:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
 Not done The fact that it takes time to get to that many edits is intentional. It is generally expected that editors will take the time to familiarize themselves with Wikipedia's processes, policies and guidelines, dispute resolution, edit warring, civility, and so on in that time period, so that when they do become extended confirmed and begin editing potentially contentious areas they are not coming to the discussions in inadvertently disruptive ways because of unfamiliarity with how disputes are handled and discussions take place on Wikipedia. Per this discussion, I would suggest slowing down and taking time to show that you can edit constructively in an extremely contentious topic area before making a new request. - Aoidh (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights

As an experienced Wiki editor, I am requesting new page reviewer rights to help maintain the quality and accuracy of new pages. Your approval would allow me to contribute more effectively to wiki community. SparrowQ (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

 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)

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 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)

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.)

 Done for a two-month trial. Please re-apply roughly a week before the perm is set to expire. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

My trial permission expired, and I'd like a permanent permission. I think my trial period was positive, and I would like to continue reviewing pages. You can see my page curation log here. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for page mover

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)

I'm a somewhat active AfC reviewer and new page patroller, so I often have to move pages to and from draftspace. Page mover rights will help reduce the number of R2 tags in the backlog. I also have some prior experience in RMs. Thanks for considering my request. (please Reply to icon mention me on reply) '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 14:59, 26 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)

 Done. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 07:51, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been doing RCP for a little while now, and recently started NPP. I believe I could assist in patrolling recent changes to expand on my anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:20, 26 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)

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Have been participating in counter vandalism for a while now and have developed strong interest in continuing in this area of editing. I request this right to enhance my counter vandalism capacity. Ednabrenze (talk) 07:30, 26 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)

@6ii9 I'm inclined to grant based on your long tenure. Couple quick questions: do you understand your technical limits and won't make changes you don't fully understand on high-use pages? (e.g. changing LUA modules you haven't thoroughly tested). When would be times that you would need to use the sandboxes in the future (or why won't there be a time)? — xaosflux Talk 14:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Secondary question - do you think you'll need this permission after you're done with the flag system update? Primefac (talk) 14:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
@Primefac: Thank you for your response. I do understand my technical limits and only make changes to templates when I am sure my edit(s) will not break anything. I am familiar with using sandboxes for templates, I usually use my user sandboxes for template designs and tests to ensure what I am doing will work once implemented into real templates. Should I have a very technical edit, I will use a sandbox first before editing a template. Finally, I usually seek out these sort of scenarios, so for now it is the flag system stuff, previously it was updating country data templates to ensure they were up to date and I may find another interest afterwards. I therefore believe I will need this permission beyond the flag updates, but will understand if the permission is revoked should I not make a meaningful template edit for a long period of time. 6ii9 (talk) 15:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
(Non-admin comment) 6ii9 previously had a 3 month trial of this perm. Here are the template-protected templates (or modules) he edited during that time:
  1. Template:Country data Cornwall
  2. Template:Country data Saint Helena ( × 5)
  3. Template:Film year category ( × 2)
  4. Template:Infobox football tournament season ( × 2)
  5. Template:Military history year category
  6. Template:Military organization disestablishment category
  7. Template:WikiProject Polynesia

    Making Maps

    [edit]

    Here's how I make the maps - basically they are all from the Census factfinder web site here. I always use the 2000 census data and if I enter "Ohio", I get this. Next I go to the upper left corner under "Change", click there on "Boundaries and Features" and turn off all labels and all features except the state and county borders (boundaries). Then I get this. I copy the map (right click, or control and Print Screen) then paste that into MS Paint or Paint Dot Net and change the colors so they are consistent with the WikiProject Maps guidleines - I started with the Image:US Locator Blank.svg for its colors. I put a one pixel wide black line around the maps and save them in PNG format in Wikimedia Commons (I have an account there too).

    What I like about the maps is that they are US Government work and so public domain (and I release my modifications under the GFDL). You can zoom in a lot, add streets and water and township and city borders in. Some other examples I have made starting with these are here: Image:Larrys Creek Watershed Map.PNG (started from county and township borders and creeks in the census map), Image:Fort Wayne Indiana Metro Map.PNG (several counties, left the urban areas pink), and my most ambitious county map Image:Lancaster County, PA.PNG. Hope this helps, ask if you have questions.
