The Lorax (film)[edit]

Reason: You can give this article some pending changes protection. I see a persistent amount of inappropriate humorous edits to this article (it is likely to be vandalism, but I am not sure) by IP editors, but I doubt that it is enough for semi-protection.

I do not even know if it is protected or not, since when I add the template for a protection icon/banner, it shows me nothing, not even if the article has pending changes protection.

The last time it was protected was from 18 May 2023 to 18 August 2023, and it could have had pending changes protection either in the meantime or after the expiration of the semi-protection. I do not know.

In summary, to curb current disruptive editing by IP editors, I think pending changes protection (to review all edits by new and unregistered users before they are visible to everyone) should be applied to reduce the need to block IP addresses (and many different addresses are involved there too). CarlFilip19 (talk) 11:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. The article is already pending-changes protected (you cam see this via "view history", and then "view logs for this page". Lectonar (talk) 12:23, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hit Me Hard and Soft[edit]

Reason: It is imperative to protect the page for the new album Hit Me Hard and Soft by American singer and Grammy-winning artist Billie Eilish due to the numerous edits coming from anonymous/unsigned accounts with biased editorial and unreliable sources. The page is currently unprotected, allowing anyone to freely edit it. Hence, protection for this page is essential in the upcoming months.. Newpicarchive (talk) 13:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

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.

Template:Her[edit]

Reason: To create a redirect to Template:Their, similar to the existence of Template:His. — GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Whataboutism[edit]

Reason: The current protection status of the page limits the ability of a broader range of contributors to edit and improve its content. This restriction is particularly concerning given the page's apparent lack of political neutrality.

The article on "Whataboutism" exhibits a significant bias, predominantly reflecting a Western perspective. This bias skews the representation of whataboutism, often highlighting its use in contexts that criticize non-Western entities while downplaying or ignoring similar tactics employed by Western actors. This selective representation not only undermines the article's objectivity but also contravenes Wikipedia's core principle of maintaining a neutral point of view.

Allowing more contributors to participate in editing this page can facilitate a more balanced and comprehensive discussion. By reducing the protection level, we can ensure that diverse perspectives are represented, thereby enhancing the article's credibility and adherence to Wikipedia's standards of neutrality.

Thank you for considering this request. Your attention to ensuring the neutrality and accuracy of Wikipedia's content is greatly appreciated. 147.32.27.11 (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

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:Prince of Erebor[edit]

I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]

I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to request Autopatrolled rights on the advice of user Broc, who appreciated my editorial skills. I have created more than 140 articles, mostly music-related. (I also have these rights in Russian Wikipedia.) Sanslogique (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I stumbled across Sanslogique's music-related articles more than once as part of NPP, and found them of high quality. They show understanding of WP:NMUSIC, their pages are well written and sourced, and I did not see any copyright problems, that's why I suggested them to apply for autopatrolled rights.

Maria Medina Coeli, mistake in title

Good morning, as I explained on the Maria Medina Coeli talk page, the name is wrong. This error probably comes from the Harvard University source, which although prestigious and reliable, is wrong in this case, which is understandable if you are not fluent in the original language of the sources.

Hello User:750h+ . Nice seeing you here! From a quick look at your contributions, it seems like you usually don't leave a warning when reverting vandalism nor an semi-automated edit summary.

User:HirowoWiki[edit]

I've been active at recent changes for more than 3 months to help revert vandalism and report AIV, which is successful. Rollback rights need access to a counter-vandalism tool. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 01:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

A few concerns:
  1. A couple of days ago, you were warned about misleading edits summaries wrt this edit. Please explain, in your own words, why this edit was inappropriate.
  2. I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy?
-Fastily 21:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
I forgot to leave a warning message. Also, I made a misleading edit summary and not a typo. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 21:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Moving forward, what will you do ensure that you are always leaving a notification? Right after your last reply, I noticed that you failed to notify an editor after making a this revert. What exactly do you mean by "made a misleading edit summary and not a typo"? Like I said, both the contents of the edit and edit summary are inappropriate. Can you explain why? -Fastily 06:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
I've undid the last edit; they should leave a warning message. I changed the template with uppercase letters like {{pp|small=yes}} → {{Pp|small=yes}} and {{featured article}} → {{Featured article}}. The template shouldn't be changed in this article. Thank you for the explanation. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 07:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Why are you being so evasive with your answers? I'm not asking you trick questions or attempting to embarrass you. Please re-read my reply above and answer the questions please. -Fastily 05:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
I will ensure to leave a warning message after reverting your edit. The misleading edit summary referred to providing incorrect information in the summary, which did not accurately reflect the changes made in the edit. This can be misleading to other editors who check the edit history. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 08:04, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor; I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? And it sounds like you're not familiar with WP:COSMETIC changes, which capitalizing template translcusions falls under. The community frowns upon such edits, so please also acknowledge below that you won't be making such edits in the future. -Fastily 09:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Leave warnings for edits, use tools like Twinkle or Ultraviolet for easy notifications. Avoid biting newcomers and explain reverts with talk page messages. Refrain from WP:COSMETIC changes like capitalizing template transclusions. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 11:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Sneezless[edit]

I've been patrolling recent changes for almost a year now, and the rollback right would mean I could start using Huggle for that, as I've been meaning to do for a while now. Sneezless (talk) (contribs) 21:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 06:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the tips. I'm already using Redwarn for warnings, but did you notice any particular times when I didn't properly warn users? I've been using the ProblemWelcome and WelcomeIP templates instead fairly often, since most editors I'd otherwise use a warning template on are new editors.

User:Clearfrienda[edit]

I'm requesting the rollback right so I can use Huggle when I'm patrolling recent changes. I was granted the right on trial about a year ago but I never got around to requesting it again. Clearfrienda 💬 04:12, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. Given that your rollback trial ended almost a year ago, I'd like to see you spend time actively participating in RecentChanges patrol before granting you this right. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 06:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Air on White[edit]

I have been active on RCP over the past month. I would like rollback for the particular case where a vandal persistently vandalizes the same page. It takes time to load via Twinkle and is frustrating when my attempt to revert fails because the vandal or someone else has made more edits. I believe rollback will save me time and make my efforts against vandalism more effective. Air on White (talk) 03:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 05:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
I do not warn users in what I assume to be legitimate content disputes, as warning would be patronizing and unconducive to discussion. The user who added the name of one of Pat Morita's grandchildren appeared to be acting in good faith; I reverted not because he was vandalizing or disruptive, but because the person did not have his own Wikipedia article. The argument here is not about vandalism, NPOV or BLP, but simply a content dispute about what is proper to include in the infobox. Meanwhile, in the case of Matthew Heineman, that was the third edit by a user who added BLP violations who was hopping to a different IP for every edit. It is useless to warn such a user, who I had already warned twice on two different IPs, just as it is useless to further warn a user who has received a level 4 warning and is still vandalizing. My failure to warn the vandal on The Chris Moyles Show was a mistake on my part, possibly because I forgot after I restored the page to remove vandalism by multiple IPs. I hope this helps you understand my editing process. Air on White (talk) 06:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
If you take a look at my contributions, it will be beyond obvious that I am aware of Twinkle and am regularly using it to warn users. Air on White (talk) 06:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
It doesn't matter whether it's "a dispute" or a good faith edit: you need to leave a notification. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor; I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 09:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

Roughly a month ago, I requested to be granted rollback rights. The administrator who responded, Fastily, asked me to patrol recent changes for a month before requesting the permission again. Having done so, I believe I am now ready to become a rollbacker. As mentioned in my previous request, I've been a rollbacker on Commons for quite some time now – over a year –, understanding how the tool works and the risks associated with it, and committing myself not to misuse it, under the risk of losing it temporarily or permanently, and even being blocked.

Having patrolled recent changes for this month, with over 700 reversions in the main domain, I'm now more confident than ever in distinguishing between obvious vandalism, non-constructive changes, and good-faith edits, for example. I always make sure to notify editors after reverting their edits, so that these newcomers are not "bitten" (e.g. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b). Sometimes I even notify and guide them without reverting their edits; that's why I currently have a bit more warnings on user pages than reversions in the main domain.

I also have a constant presence in Administrator intervention against vandalism, with a considerably high success rate (that is, the ratio between blocked accounts and reports). Of the more than 20 accounts I reported there (ignoring the IPs), only one was not blocked, for reasons I now understand well, so these will not be repeated. I have even opened a checkuser request as a result of my anti-vandalism activities (although this request was deleted in favor of one created later, I don't know precisely why).

Therefore, I would like to finally become a rollbacker. As mentioned before, I would like to have access to semi-automatic tools, namely Huggle, which would greatly facilitate my anti-vandalism work, making it more efficient. I enjoy patrolling recent changes, and rollback rights would certainly make my life easier.

I noticed that you're indef blocked at your home wiki (ptwiki). Could you comment on that please? -Fastily 09:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
Fastily,
Yes, unfortunately it is true that I am currently blocked on my home wiki. I was blocked there due to an administrative decision. At the time, there was suspicion that I was a sockpuppet of some long-term abuser. I was associated, among others, with someone named Quintinense. There was a certain wikihounding surrounding my edits, which I perceived as harassment and tried to respond accordingly. This eventually led to a discussion where the majority of participating administrators supported the block. Needless to say, I have nothing to do with this account I was associated with, which has even harassed me here on this project (Quintinense → Pórokhov → Ertrinken: harassment here, here, and probably here, to mention just a few).
Trying to be succinct so that you, unfamiliar with the specific Wikipedia in question, can understand the issue, what I can say is that people change, and today I have a completely different view than I did almost two years ago regarding the dynamics of a collaborative editing environment – a view that is constantly evolving, by the way. I always strive to improve as a person and as a user, and I believe my activities not only here and on Commons, but also on Wiktionary and Wikisource (in Portuguese and French), demonstrate my good faith towards Wikimedia projects.
I am open to further questions if you believe they are necessary to better clarify the issue.
Respectfully, RodRabelo7 (talk) 10:26, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I am re-applying for template editor rights, which I was granted on a temporary basis by Primefac (permalink) on 24 February; it is about to expire at 00:00, on 24 May. As I promised in my original request back in February, and as can be seen, I didn't misuse this right in any way. I used it in a very responsible manner, on a periodical basis, and I'm no longer obliged to bother others with template-protected edit requests, and basically have them to do my work for me when it comes to HRTs. Naturally, I would prefer if this right is extended on a permanent basis, but that is up to admins to decide. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Sundostund, could you give some examples of say, five template-protected templates that you've worked on since being granted this right? Primefac (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
(non-admin comment) These are all of the template-protected templates that Sundostund has edited:
(Checked with {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:edit|title}} on each template/module edited since the grant.) SilverLocust 💬 06:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
I don't see anything obviously problematic, but given the discussion last time I would like to get at least one other patrolling admin's eyes on this. Primefac (talk) 11:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
