Reason: An unnecessarily semi-protected page which has been edited under 50 times since it was protected in March 2012, protection feels 100% fine to be removed. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 06:32, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Reason: The movie was already released and there is no reason to have it protected until December of this year, that is too much. 2800:300:6F11:D8B0:842A:8F8:61F8:39B1 (talk) 07:42, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
{{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.{{Edit COI}}
template should be used.
The Israeli casaulties have changed over the night with new Iranian strikes. I want to change the Current Casaulties from 24 Killed to 53, i have the sources needed. And to change the 2,345 injured to 2,585 injured for which i also have sources. Pkk123477 (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Please correct the Iranian civilian casualties in paragraph three. It was recently changed without reason from 200 to 600. The sources currently listed actually say 200 but this is out off date. HRANA's latest figure is actually over 400. The source is presently used in the infobox for their own estimate of 1,054 total deaths. The Iranian government hasn't released updated figures so that should be removed until they have an estimate. I suggest adding the sentence:
"According to the anti-government Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency, over 1,000 Iranians were killed including at least 400 civilians."

Requests for autopatrolled |

Autopatrolled[edit]
I've been here for almost two decades, with 30k+ edits and a fair number of articles created in the mean time. I believe I am well-qualified for autopatrolled perms. _dk (talk) 23:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi. Based upon my learning and experience over the years of editing on Wikipedia (almost a decade now), I have created very selected pages which I find qualifying Wikipedia policies. If I find them trending in news but un-complying with the policies, I usually leave a redirect, or occasionally start with the draft. I believe not a single page that I created and/or majorly contributed has been deleted, and many respected editors and admins whom I had interacted with have always been helpful and supportive, believing in my good faith. Plus I only rewrite those articles in bad state which I find relevant, and not every other random article. However, due to recent attacks by sock puppetry over my edits, I want to be an autopatrolled user, so that I can easily continue volunteering independently here, and participate in the ongoing Destubathon as well. I promise I will not misuse this position. Thank you! M. Billoo 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
As of writing, I have created more than 50 articles from either redlinks or expanded redirects alongside ~30 templates, with only one superfluous template having been deleted. With a dozen Good Article and DYK citations, I believe I have proven myself in understanding the fomat and style of Wikipedia. My current project, to create articles on US Civil War-era ship classes, has and will quickly add more to the backlog. I have never had any issue with the New Page Patrol (that I recall), and would like to not add to their work as several of my previous articles/templates took months to be marked as reviewed (quite understandable, it's a large backlog!). My newest articles, all created since this weekend, (Mohican-class sloop, Sacramento-class sloop, Algoma-class sloop, and Potomac-class frigate) are well cited and comply with all requirments. Thank you! GGOTCC 02:32, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access |

AutoWikiBrowser[edit]
Hello, I would like to use the editor mainly to have access to backreferences for editing using regular expressions. My actual use case would be to make a 300-line table sortable by last name. Work with data would also be useful. I also would like to be able to speed up formatting more generally, e.g. italics, quote marks, etc. Selbsportrait (talk) 22:27, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
I'm back again! I previously requested this to help with WP:POSTMOVE for links to Guna language (then withdrew that request), but since then I've realised there are a few areas I could use this tool in, not least for updating non-linked uses of "Kuna" and "Cuna" for Guna language and Guna people (of which there seem to be quite a lot). I might also use it for linking/redlinking new articles (for instance, some of the drafts I'm currently working on), and also to help out with updating some of the 90,000+ articles transcluding (the now-deprecated) Template:EngvarB to other English-variety templates. Obviously there might also be some typo correction etc. as required. Pineapple Storage (talk) 17:03, 24 June 2025 (UTC) |
Requests for confirmation |

Confirmed[edit]
Reason for requesting confirmed rights I've made an account called Webster Geneva Campus in order to move the page Webster University Geneva to Webster Geneva Campus. Reason for this move is a legal matter. Webster University Geneva is not allowed to use word "University" in Switzerland, where it is based. This is due to restrictions imposed to foreign Universities. Therefore we need to rename the Wiki page to Webster Geneva Campus. due to legal aspect of this change, it is a rather urgent matter. It would be greatly appreciated to obtain the confirmed status so I can make his change asap. Webster Geneva Campus (talk) 12:00, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Requests for extended confirmation |

Extended confirmed[edit]
Reason for requesting extended confirmed rights My EC/XC status was suspended with extended conformed restriction due to a mistake in Special:Diff/1296492089. The status was removed by Star Mississippi, who said that I was welcome to reapply, after explaining myself, especially contradicting that I had won my status through gaming. After checking my editorial history, there was general agreement in the discussion that that was not the case. The discussion is located in: Jensenjan and WP:XC WP:GAMING I am now more careful with unintentionally wading into sensitive subjects and I continue to edit less controversial entries.I respectfully ask to have my EC/XC status reinstalled.

New page reviewer[edit]
Hi, I'm requesting rights be extended after a one month trial. I would like to request permanent NPR rights if possible, as I have greatly enjoyed contributing in this capacity and I am eager to help reduce the backlog. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 00:23, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
I'm a patroller on the Hebrew Wikipedia with extensive experience in content review and Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with English Wikipedia's guidelines and have been actively participating here, including contributing to article creation and quality control processes. I would like to contribute to New Page Patrol, mainly on topics related to Israel, Judaism, and Hungary, and I would be happy to expand my knowledge and activity into additional areas. Eliezer1987 (talk) 16:58, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
NPR temporary permissions set to expire within a week. Requesting extension or permanent permissions. I have not been as active in the NPR space as I'd like to be, being very busy with the AfC Backlog Drive. Regardless, thank you for your time! MWFwiki (talk) 21:23, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi there, my rights expire on the 30th and I would like to request an extension. I did ask a few weeks ago since I know of the perennial backlog here, but got rejected on the basis it was too early. I'm reapplying now since it's a little under a week until that happens. Aydoh8[what have I done now?] 23:34, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
I was granted reviewer rights for two times, both were temporary. I'm here requesting the right again to review the articles and make the burden less for others too. I was not active like before due to some personal issues, but I'm going to be active now. Please consider extending my rights. Thankyou Taabii (talk) 17:23, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello there, this is my third time requesting new page reviewer permissions, as the previous two requests were granted on a one-month trial basis and the current trial will end on the 30th of June. I have learnt a lot about the policies for notability and inclusion and will be able to reduce the size of the unreviewed pages backlog significantly.

Requests for page mover |

Page mover[edit]
I am requesting page mover right mainly because it would help me draftify articles (see my draftify log). And secondarily because it would allow me to perform uncontroversial moves in mainspace without leaving being redirects. I have not participated in RMs but I have made moves that show that I understand the guidelines, namely:
And more recently
I was recommended to return after over a dozen requests at RMTR, and after Gaza war mvoes, I think I've well surpassed that threshold. I'm otherwise keen to continue closing RMs in the backblog, and it'd make it more convenient to implement WP:POSTMOVE after closing such discussions rather than later. Thanks for your re-consideration. CNC (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2025 (UTC) CNC (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
This is my third application. I believe that I have enough experience and that with the help of Twinkle, I could throw a "ROLLBACK" command and thwart the vandals. Thank you, Starfall2015 chat | about me 06:14, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello! When checking my watchlist of frequently-vandalized articles or patrolling recent changes, I frequently work with articles which have pending changes. When there's obvious vandalism or a BLP issue I can already help out by reverting, but I'm requesting the reviewer role so I can approve any non-bad edit I come across -- ones which I've always had to simply ignore as false positives. I've checked out WP:PC and WP:RPC to familiarize myself with the policies and guidelines around recent changes and the expectations of reviewers. I appreciate your consideration :) — tony 15:55, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
I typically review edits on articles in my watchlist that are not flagged with the pending function so I am glad to help out with those also. I meet the requirements and have the experience as I already follow a similar procedure to the description in the required reading. Thanks, 〜 Adflatuss • talk 14:05, 26 June 2025 (UTC) |
Requests for rollback |

Rollback[edit]
I am respectfully requesting rollback rights as I am committed to upholding the quality and reliability of Wikipedia by actively monitoring recent changes and promptly reverting vandalism and unconstructive edits. Having familiarized myself with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, I believe that the rollback tool will allow me to more efficiently contribute to the maintenance of article integrity and the overall improvement of the encyclopedia. Vineyard93 (talk) 01:04, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I saw that rollbackers need 200+ edits and noticed that I've cleared that mark so here is my request: I have been actively reverting vandalism via WP:RW and filters. I apply an adequate edit summary and warn for every single rollback I make using RedWarn. I understand clearly that rollback is for cases of clear-cut vandalism and other edits where the reason for the revert is obvious (such as uncited defamatory statements on a living person). Whenever I encounter a good-faith yet low-quality edit, I either leave it be or undo it with a suitable custom edit summary (and a talkpage message explaining why the edit was reverted). Having this user right would allow me to try out Huggle which I believe would be more efficient than RedWarn's RC patrol or refreshing the browser. Thank you. Spotemgottem (talk) 00:15, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I've had several months of experience patrolling recent changes and clearing vandalism. In addition, I often revert sockpuppet edits. I therefore humbly request for the rollback right so that reverting obvious vandalism and sockpuppet/LTA edits (such as by using mass rollback) would be easier. I've read through WP:Rollback thoroughly as well. I understand that for the usual rollback, I need to try to use it with caution as it performs reverts in just one click/tap. Thank you. ~SG5536B 01:56, 27 June 2025 (UTC) |
