wise cleanup

Thank you for quality articles on military history such as Battle of Pocotaligo, gnomish work on articles and fighting subtle vandalism, for illustrating "wise old thing" (with a ring to it), for working on cleanup in the tavern, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Women in punk rock edit

Reason: Editor who created the page some time ago claims authority over content (in part based on hidden comments at the start ofthe article, but even so the entry meets even those arbitrary and non-community based crtieria). He, and a cronie have taken it upon themselve to revert any changes that he doesn't personally approve of. After posting to talk page, there was no sustantiative ojections other than me receiving unwarrently warninngs and treats that they would ban me for ojecting to the aritrary removal of the entry about the Linda Lindas. I have had it with the other two who have been tag-teaming ad hominem attacks since they first took a high-handed and condescendng rejection of earlier response to a claim that the band was not noteworthey enough to be on this guys pet page---and I was accused of starting and edit war because I reverted their deletion and added citations from multiple national caliber publications which clearly supported the band meetng any sort of criteria for inclusion. I am sick of how i have been mistreated, maligened and harasses on pages that have nothing to do with anythign related. This is my last contriution to wiikipedia, as I am just stick this sort of behavior. DrKC MD (talk) 07:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Declined and I reverted your adding the PP icon on the page. I don't think you understand what page protection is. It would only stop new users from adding content, it wouldn't stop established editors from editing the page. Admin don't get involved with content disputes, normally. You need to use the talk page of the article and build a consensus for the changes you want to make. Dennis Brown - 07:39, 24 April 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.

Draft:William Bishop edit

Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

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.

New page reviewer edit

User:Aplucas0703 edit

I have made many constructive edits to Wikipedia, and have a decent amount of experience in Articles for Creation, and I have approved AfC reviewer for nearly 1 year. I have had no controversy thus far while working in this area. I mainly want to focus on patrolling the backlog of redirects, but occasionally I would also review articles. I also know my limits, and only work in the areas I am confident in, or I seek help. I am big on assuming the good faith of editors and pointing them in the right direction if their efforts are misguided, as I often do at AfC. aaronneallucas (talk) 04:40, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Dan Leonard edit

I'm nearing the end of my trial period just as the May backlog begins and I'd like to keep my permissions to participate. I've been intermittently active with new page patrol and I think my page curation log should show fairly uncontroversial activity and AfDs with consensus for my proposals. Reviewing the log myself there are two articles I marked as reviewed but were later deleted, but both appear to have been deleted for G5 (created by banned user) and not for notability or other content reasons.

Over the last 90 days I have reviewed 370 articles. A short background on myself I've been on Wikipedia for over eight years and have created 47 active article on EN Wikipedia. I have strong knowledge of the policies that a NPP reviewer must follow and how each article should be treated.

Hi, I would like to start start volunteering to help patrol pages across the Wikipedia site. I've been on the site for quite some time, sometimes I may make some mistakes around but it has led me to create more pages and overall be a more active person. I find it pleasing to help Wikipedia more and make it a more pleasing, friendly and diligent environment of people. Thank you for looking through, and hope whoever sees this has a blessed day. NYMan6 (talk) 20:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. Thank you for volunteering, but I'm going to decline this for now. There's not enough demonstrated knowledge of content policies and guidelines for me to evaluate at this point in time. Experience with notability guidelines can be demonstrated in many ways, including participation at Articles for deletion or Articles for Creation and deletion tagging (PROD and speedy deletion). If you're interested in re-applying at some point I encourage you to participate at WP:AFD. If you choose to do so, make sure your votes are policy based and explain why an article does or doesn't meet a specific guideline. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I generally rotate between different maintenance activities such as RC patrol, pending changes patrol, and edit request patrol, and would like to contribute to the NPP/AFC queues too. Editing Wikipedia for 15 years, but with long bouts of low activity or inactivity, but I feel I have a strong grasp on the core policies (especially copyright-related). Despite focusing on maintenance mainly, I have created/significantly contributed to few articles, most recently XZ Utils backdoor (permalink when moved from draft to mainspace) and BG3.

User:Dxneo edit

Hello sysops, I am here again (and again) regarding the same problem. As an autoreviewed user, it's really bothersome to have to request for the round-robin swap whenever I stubble across a redirect, and leaving a redirect when moving pages to draftspace. I was okay with requesting the swap but then I'd have to wait for someone to review the article. I am definitely not gonna lie and say I heavily work on WP:RM cause I hardly visit the place, but as an editor who's constantly creating (music related) articles this is draining. dxneo (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback edit

User:MuffinHunter0 edit

I've been patrolling Recent Changes for around a month or so, reverting any vandalism I come across, while also warning/notifying other users about their edits and why it was reverted. Having rollback would allow me to use AntiVandal, which is quite faster in reverting vandalism than RedWarn(the script I am using currently), while also allow quickly rollback edits without having to add a reason. That helps me deal with the edit and move onto other vandalism on the RC list. Some more info that you may want is that I have no warnings, no instances of edit-warring, joined 3/12/2024, which was around 36 days ago, and a near, if not perfect, track record in notifying users.

If you are willing to grant it it to me, fine. If not, fine. It's not worth my time to argue with you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 Not done per JJMC89. -Fastily 03:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
I don't understand this decision. The user easily meets criterion 5. There is nothing in the guideline that says the edits need to be "recent". I don't see how criterion 6 can apply because an admin would not usually be requesting edits to template-protected templates? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps you would be willing to discuss your decision, or would you mind if I overturned it? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
I agree with JJMC89. Rights are assigned on as-needed basis. Given that OP's admin/crat bits were just revoked for cause, I think it's completely appropriate to be discerning here -Fastily 03:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The other interpretation of the ArbCom case is that the community has trusted Nihonjoe to, among other things, edit high-risk templates and the reason for desysopping gives us no reason to think Nihonjoe has lost that trust. Undecided on this request myself, but the alternate perspective shouldn't be ignored entirely. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Before I stick my neck out any further, Nihonjoe can you tell me if and how you are actually planning on using this userright if granted? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
I've edited many different templates, and even created a bunch of them. I know some of the templates I've edited have been protected, so this right would be used to edit them when necessary. I understand being cautious, but I don't plan on doing anything controversial or against policy with this right. I'm always very cautious when making any template edit, whether the template is protected or not, because such edits have the potential to affect many articles all at once. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Joe's competence in editing templates, and his caution in making (or not making) breaking changes was not a factor in his desysop. Let's not add unnecessary grief to the situation. Cabayi (talk) 10:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I've been watching what's happened recently and believe that people have been unduly ostracizing Joe. Even though I recommended the removal of 'crat and sysop, I had no issue with the rights he gave himself. Considering the arbitration committee was aware of this fact (per an arbitrator comment at the proposed decision) and didn't take action simply proves my point. Joe lost the trust of the community to be a 'crat and sysop but the same can't be said for the usage of these other rights. The removal of these rights shouldn't have occurred in the first place since there wasn't a breach of trust related to their usage. If the committee had an issue with Joe granting himself these rights, they surely would have acted before closing the case. Noah, AATalk 18:31, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Grufo edit

Hi. I am the creator of Module:Params. Recently the module's permissions have been changed to “Require template editor access”, which means that I no longer have the rights to improve the module and add features to it, or – most importantly – fix possible bugs. Being able to continue working on Module:Params is the reason for which I request template editor rights. --Grufo (talk) 11:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC) Grufo (talk) 11:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

All good then, thank you. Somehow I have the feeling that I will have to be back here at some point in the future for the same reason… Well… See you again when that happens ;) --Grufo (talk) 14:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Certainly this is without prejudice for a future use-case. — xaosflux Talk 14:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
