Monkey Business (Black Eyed Peas album) and Elephunk[edit]

Reason: an IPsock of MariaJaydHicky keeps repeating the edits made by the countless sockpuppets that have targeted these pages in the past Blueberry72 (talk) 07:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

2024 FIVB Men's Volleyball Nations League[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Adding live scores which violates WP:LIVESCORES and I also believe it is WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Suggestion to protect the page until the tournament ends on June 30. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 14:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Floriano Peixoto[edit]

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. IP tries to add content without sources, deletes material without explanation, and ignores multiple user warnings. Auzandil (talk) 18:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Since no one's bothered to warn them on their talk page (edit summaries are not enough; not everyone's aware of them), I'm not surprised this continues. Daniel Case (talk) 20:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Case Sorry but I warned the user already. I gave him a warning before his last edit warring. After me, the user @Wiiformii warned the IP regarding the unexplained removals. Is there any possibility that you confused IPs?

OK ... I had been looking at the other one on that /64, the one they used yesterday, where no warnings had been left. Still not sure whether to block them sitewide or just from the article as it seems like their contribs elsewhere have not been reverted. Daniel Case (talk) 21:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
I understand. I personally believe a short-time IP lock for article would be a good idea. I'll watch the user's favorite articles and future contributions for possible vandalism. Auzandil (talk) 21:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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
Shortcut

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.

User:VaudevillianScientist[edit]

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)

@VaudevillianScientist: Most of your articles look good at first glance, but I'm a bit concerned about Institute for Molecular Science. Can you expand on your thought process for that article? It doesn't have any secondary sources. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for bringing up that article I started. I meant to expand it further, but it requires to establish more entries on notable Japanese researchers first, which the English Wikipedia is lacking in. I have just added a couple external references and improved the entry. VaudevillianScientist (talk) 12:31, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
I've had a look and your articles are reasonably clean, VaudevillianScientist. The biggest failing is that for bios, you almost always forget to use WP:DEFAULTSORT. Could you please have a look why that's important, and commit yourself to making use of it going forward? I've edited your last 10 articles and that'll give you other ideas for improvements. Schwede66 10:29, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Ipscaij[edit]

@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:Lunar-akaunto[edit]

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. Lunar-akaunto／talk 11:55, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I reviewed your recent edits in the file namespace and found almost no instances where you have requested a file rename. If you need to make a one-off file rename request, please use {{Rename media}}. -Fastily 06:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily: Thank you for your reply. I have now posted the template you listed above to request renaming all of the files I previously mentioned. I will clarify that my original request was to rename the files along with requesting file mover rights. Do I still remain unfit for the file mover rights? Lunar-akaunto／talk 15:26, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to see you get experience with requesting renames for files that you did not personally upload. -Fastily 21:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I'll do that for now and appeal for the rights later. Lunar-akaunto／talk 00:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Boneless Pizza![edit]

I am familiar with the image policies. I have upload like several non-free images and audios to the articles. Sometimes I made some typo error like I did with this one File:Undertale Art Book sans progession.png, which made me unable to move it to a correct title. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 13:18, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

User:PadFoot2008[edit]

Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

User:98Tigerius[edit]

Hello, I would like to request a page mover permission to easily draftify page without a redirect of the previous page title and to help out more at RM. I also familiarized myself with the prerequisite required for this permission. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 05:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Melcous[edit]

In patrolling new pages, I have often draftified articles that are not sourced, or have COI issues, as well as moved new articles with incorrectly formatted titles. Having page mover rights would avoid the creation of redirects, and would also give me the opportunity to get involved at Requested Moves. Melcous (talk) 06:16, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Saqib[edit]

So I plan on using it to address page move vandalism and for other non-controversial tasks such as WP:RM.— Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

User:M S Hassan[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

Good day! I am requesting reviewer rights to extend my ability to patrol recent changes to include recent change protected articles. I have done extensive, recent work fighting vandalism (RCP) and following related policies in doing so (warning users, improving good faith edits with problems, etc). Through this work (and editing), I have gained an extensive understanding of WP:NPOV, WP:BLP, and more. I do not boast a large quantity of edits (most of my older edits were not logged in), but I am convinced that the quality of my edits meets the criteria for this permission. I have created a handful of pages, during which I have come to understand reliable source requirements, original research guidelines, and what is constructive (and what is not). I believe my discussions with other Wikipedians and detailed comments related to unconstructive good faith edits will demonstrate that I am not here to bite the newcomers. I hope I will be permitted to expand my improvements to the English Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Garsh (talk) 22:55, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 06:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
