editI am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26.

Current requests for increase in protection level
editPlace requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. -Lemonaka 00:46, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked: 153.107.45.67 (talk · contribs) blocked by ScottishFinnishRadish. for 31 hours. Daniel Case (talk) 05:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – All IP edits in the past six months were reverted. Given the subject is very close to the candidate of the US presidential election, I suggest implementing pending changes protection until after the 2024 presidential election (Nov 5) is over. Broc (talk) 06:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 08:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Already protected by administrator PhilKnight. Favonian (talk) 08:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- History of vehicle registration plates of the Philippines (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Reason: Semi-protection: Now that the page protection for this article has expired, one of the fellow users, Daniel Dunga is once again to remove the edits with the latest 2018 license plates series in 2024 who engaged in block evasion. Thank you for your time.
Jon2guevarra (talk) 08:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Request for Extended Page Protection. Page is vandalized multiple times by anonymous IPs who delete sourced entries. The current status of community is mentioned in first paragraph but IP moved it to history section, which does not suit current status of community. Piyush Chekavar (talk) 09:42, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
editBefore 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.
Reason: The extended confirmed protection is no longer necessary because the autoconfirmed vandalism-only account that vandalized the page in October 2022 probably won't come back to this article. I would suggest reducing it to semi-protection or unprotecting the page entirely. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Whoops, I did not discuss with the protecting admin first. I did not see that note until after submitting this. 24.115.255.37 (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
editPlease 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.
On right of the page:
"Government Federal presidential republic • President Joe Biden • Vice President Kamala Harris • House Speaker Mike Johnson • Chief Justice John Roberts"
"Federal presidential republic" needs to be edited to "constitutional federal republic".
United States of America has never been a federal "PRESIDENTIAL" republic.
"In the United States, politics functions within a framework of a "CONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL REPUBLIC" and presidential system, with three distinct branches that share powers: the U.S. Congress which forms the legislative branch, a bicameral legislative body comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate; the executive branch, which is headed by the president of the United States, who serves as the country's head of state and government; and the judicial branch, composed of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, and which exercises judicial power."

Requests for autopatrolled |

Autopatrollededit
Hello there, I have created 30 articles as of now and i am requesting for Autopatrolled right. Xegma(talk) 07:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I have written a total of 48 articles, including 6 in the past 2 days, mainly about hip hop artists. My articles usually have little to no issue. I'm requesting for the autopatrolled right to lighten the amount of unreviewed articles. Roasted; (talk), c. 00:07, 19 June 2023 (CDT)
Because NPP is the first line of systemic bias on wiki, exempting even just my creations from NPP is an improvement. In my own experience NPP has been a net negative, while I'm sure it is useful in some cases at some point my article creations aren't those. My creation history is beyond reproach, I have even been solicitied to join NPP on multiple occasions but have repeatedly declined on ideological grounds (I don't join paramilitary organization like the NPP).

Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access |

AutoWikiBrowseredit
Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights : I would like to have the AutoWikiBrowser/JavaScript Wiki Browser to make edits faster to fix redirects for the correct names of railway stations and also to make faster edits for updating adjacent stations due to the renaming of some railway services in Switzerland. Swiss512 (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I want to use AWB to replace raster graphics with vector graphics. ⇒ Zhing-Za, they/them, 19:43, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting AWB rights to fix spelling mistakes, more specifically names without accents, such as Raul Castro (Supposed to be spelt Raúl Castro) as seen in these pages Raul Castro and I often copy edit random pages and AWB would make these accent fixes and copy editing small grammar mistakes easier and more efficient, Wiiformii (talk) 22:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
I've previously had rights to AWB, however I had them removed due to being inactive on Wikipedia. I'd like to have these rights applied again to complete edits on album articles.--Majash2020 (talk) 01:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC) Majash2020 (talk) 01:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Greetings. I previously had AWB permission, but it was revoked due to inactivity. I would like to request access to it again to continue my works. Thank you. PATH SLOPU 17:29, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer |

New page revieweredit
I believe I'm capable of reviewing new articles and drafts. Check my global contributions and user rights. Though this specific user group doesn't exist on ptwiki, my first-language/native Wikipedia, I believe I have potential in helping others creating articles and filtering enwiki. I have the draftify script installed and knowledge with policies. I've been working and have created some articles, such as Sapphism, Asexual flag, Plurisexuality, and Lists of LGBT politicians, as it shows, I have interest in sexuality area, as well as lists, categories, and redirects, as shown in my edits. --MikutoH talk! 00:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I have more than 6000 edits as an editor over a time period of around 3 years. I have created several pages which I continue to maintain and have participated in processes like Request for moves and closures as well. Iv taken initiative in Anti-Vandalism work. I can help reduce the backlog. >>> Extorc.talk 14:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting the NPP rights to continue as part of my volunteer work in reviewing new pages. Thanks. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 20:43, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I’ve reviewed pages on the new pages feed. In fact, I have sometimes CSD or redirected (because it’s a duplicate article) before NPRs, please consider me. 48JCL 12:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting NPP rights to be able to help out with reviewing new pages and to potentially help fix new pages. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 04:18, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to request an extension of my temporary NPP rights. Though I haven't been as active as I expected, I still reviewed some articles and participated in the May drive (thanks for the barnstar). I enjoyed the experience and would like to continue helping out whenever I can. Thanks for considering my request. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 08:14, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to help reduce NPP and AFC backlogs. I've read the terms and rules. Evilfreethinker (talk) 10:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to help out with NPP considering the backlog, and now that I've created a few articles I feel like I'm ready. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 18:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)\
I was given a two-moth extension about two months ago, and I wanted to apply now for full-time approval to be a new page reviewer. I have been active in AfDs, and, as suggested in my temporary approval last time, I have reviewed many more pages than the first two months of my reviewership. All of the AfDs I have created have spawned genuine discussion, and I have also approved several new pages that pass the standards of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. I feel as though I have done enough to earn full-time approval, but I would appreciate any approval the admins are willing to give. I enjoy this work, and I enjoy helping clean up Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Anwegmann (talk) 00:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
I want to contribute to Wikipedia in good sense and review new pages which provides good information regarding to the topic Dr.AyushBhardwaj (talk) 09:09, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
I have made more than 8,500 edits as an editor over a time period of around 8 months. As per my request, I am requesting the NPP rights to continue as part of my volunteer work reviewing new pages. In addition to currently serving AFC Services, I am aware of Wikipedia policies such as WP:GNG, WP:BEFORE, WP:TOOSOON, WP:SIGCOV etc. I spend a lot of time understanding Wikipedia, and overall, I have learned a lot about Wikipedia policies. Thank you with warm Regards! Youknowwhoistheman (talk) 11:02, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I am confident in my ability to review new articles and drafts, as evidenced by my global contributions and user rights. Some of the articles I have worked on and created include "Biniverse: The First Solo Concert," "Cherry on Top," and "Kyedae," among others. I believe I have the potential to make a valuable contribution as a page reviewer. Acrom12 (talk) 14:37, 30 June 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) |
Requests for page mover |

Page moveredit
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)
Reason for requesting page mover rights that "I am requesting page mover rights to efficiently handle page renaming jobs. This will help simplify the maintenance process and improve the content." SparrowQ (talk) 20:09, 30 June 2024 (UTC) |
Requests for pending changes reviewer |

Pending changes revieweredit
I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL 23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
I have been helping in improving Wikipedia for three years now, and I am familiar with the wikipedia policy on vandalism (I routinely fight vandalism by patrolling edit filter log) as well as the main points of NPOV, Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT. I'm hoping I can contribute more to Wikipedia by having PCR right. Thank you. — hhypeboyh 💬 • ✏️ 00:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
I have a very strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines, and I revert disruptive editors and report them to WP:AIV on a daily basis. I would greatly appreciate access to this permission so that I can review edits to articles. Skitash (talk) 20:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
I help with reverting vandalism, and have also read up on Wikipedia's policies on what content would be generally allowed here. -- Harpick (talk) 00:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC) Harpick (talk) 00:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Active in vandalism fighting, already have rollback rights. I would like this tool because I do patrol some high-traffic protected pages, e.g. Mount Rushmore, for WikiProjects I'm involved in. – TCMemoire 15:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC) |
Requests for rollback |

Rollbackedit
Hello; I had rollback until I resigned in March because of lack of need. That said, I have recently ran into situations where this right would be helpful and I would like to get back into the flow of using Huggle and related tools again. Cheers, Queen of Hearts talk 23:51, 28 June 2024 (UTC) |
I am at about 70,000 edits aross all Wiki projects.

"Do you want to take a survey?"
editOn 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.
