Oh great. So Wikipedia folk have embedded industry standard branding practice into policy. That must be one most clearest ways to promote your business on wikipedia. Not only that but branding is allowed into the contribution history. Not the place to discuss here I guess. Thanks. scope_creepTalk 16:02, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Scope creep Probably WT:USERNAME would be where to discuss changing the username policy. 331dot (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Agreed, but I'd note that people with a COI using this type of username is a good thing, as the COI is right out in the open. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 20:39, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Bade Baba Temple

[edit]

Reason: Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am writing to request protection for the Wikipedia page [Kundalpur Jain Temple (Bade Baba)] due to persistent vandalism and misinformation being added by certain individuals. The temple is a highly significant religious site for followers of the Digambar sect of Jainism, yet the page has repeatedly been altered with incorrect information, likely motivated by sectarian bias.

Nature of the Issue

1.Misinformation on Managing Body: The temple is managed by Shri Digambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, but vandals have changed this to Shri Shwetambar Jain Atishay Kshetra Kundalpur Public Trust, which is factually incorrect.

2.Religious and Cultural Sensitivity: The temple holds immense importance for the Digambar Jain community. The repeated alterations appear to stem from hate or jealousy, which disrespects the faith and beliefs of millions.

Evidence of Vandalism

15:40, 17 January 2025 Uts v Jain

Request for Protection

Given the sensitivity of the topic and the repeated vandalism, I kindly request:

1. Semi-protection: Restrict edits to registered and confirmed users.

2. Long-term protection: Given the likelihood of continued attempts at misinformation, I request protection for an extended period.

This will help ensure that the article maintains its accuracy and neutrality, in line with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Protecting this page would not only prevent further disruption but also respect the sentiments of the Jain community, particularly the Digambar sect.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please let me know if further details or evidence are needed.

Sincerely,

Anonymous 92.99.127.127 (talk) 12:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Forgiving the format and length here, you do realize that you will be unable to edit the article if it gets semi-protected? Daniel Case (talk) 07:01, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Oriental_Aristocrat. - Ratnahastin (talk) 12:56, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Note to admin: the OP has to explain why they are redirecting an article edited by multiple editors. Also, I see it was created by some editor (Mfarazbaig) when they weren't under any block or ban sanction. 39.34.145.168 (talk) 13:05, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. How many editors worked on the article, and who created and whether they were blocked at the time, has no bearing on whether an article is redirectified or not. Daniel Case (talk) 07:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: So you are saying the article is not notable? The redirection is done entirely based on some non-existent policy and that's okay. 39.34.146.22 (talk) 07:13, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
See WP:INVOLVE. Daniel Case (talk) 07:16, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Highly disruptive vandal which uses these IP addresses 68.33.255.195 and 2601:147:4700:2000:b8d3:bbb5:f93:3e37 (same person). User has a history of this behaviour since last year, which led to a temporary block on another page and temp. protection of 2 others. I do not wish to edit war. The user has done this on at least 6 other pages which I have observed and/or contributed to. Warnings and attempts to discuss have been exhausted, therefore I am requesting temp. protection and an absolute ban on the user. Xaymacan (talk) 03:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Daniel Case the vandal which I complained to you about a couple weeks ago is back at it. This user 68.33.255.195 was blocked from the Jamaican cuisine page by another Admin. Last December you temporarily protected Rice and peas from the same user who uses these IP addresses 68.33.255.195 and 2601:147:4700:2000:b8d3:bbb5:f93:3e37. Below I saw where he/she has also requested protection of the same page, by falsely accusing me of what he/she has been doing. I've exhausted attempts to discuss the issue and warnings, but to no avail. I look forward to some effective intervention from you or another admin. Thanks. Xaymacan (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 05:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Rsjaffe I've been using the article's talk page and even the user's talk page to come to a consensus by discussing the issue, but the user has never responded until now. I even asked other editors to chime in. I appreciate that here is not the place to discuss it, but the user which has a history of vandalism has no intention of actually resolving the matter. The only thing that has worked in the past is temp. protection of the pages or temp. block of the said user's IP address (as was the case in early January). While it might seem like a content dispute which in essence it is, this user tends to follow the pages I contribute to and remove/change content. There is a clear pattern of stalking, vandalism and edit warring, which I have been enduring for the last few months. It is also done to other editors on certain pages, and the edit summaries that they write and claims below are false. This is creating a disruptive and hostile environment, all for the sake of writing and improving articles. I tend to request the protection to avoid engaging in edit warring. By the way, moments after you denied the request, the user returned to the page with random citations, including the book source I provided on the talk page to support the distinction which had been previously discussed by other editors. He/she has been wantonly adding sources (including my book source) which actually do not support the sentences where they had been placed. Xaymacan (talk) 06:30, 19 January 2025 (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 on 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.

I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep".

I would like to request auto-patrolled rights on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I believe my experience and attention to detail make me a good fit for this role.

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC) I am requesting the autopatrolled user right because I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia and believe that my experience and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines make me a suitable candidate for this right, I have created over 25 articles, all of which comply with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and content policies. My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. I believe that granting me the autopatrolled user right will help reduce the workload of new page patrollers and allow me to continue contributing to Wikipedia more efficiently. Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk)

(Non-administrator comment) You are currently not adding to the "workload of new page patrollers", in fact, your creations need to be watched closely. Not when I specifically told you here that the pieces you presented to inquire about Bobo Ajudua are thrash and nonsensical and told you to focus elsewhere instead of on an article that has been deleted several times. Yet, you went ahead to create it, and now, it has been deleted again? via AfD. And this? Your creations need to be watched and that is what the NPP is for.

I am requesting autopatrolled rights because I want to minimize the backlog of new page. As an active member of New Page Patrol, I am also participating in the January Backlog Drive 2024 and I am familiar with the guidelines here on Wikipedia like WP:POLICY, WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:PROOF and WP:GNG. While I have only created 11 articles so far, they include several BLPs and meet Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I understand that the typical requirement is 50 articles, but I hope my demonstrated understanding the guidelines and my contributions on NPP reviewer can be considered as autropatrolled status.

Hi Royiswariii! The instructions at the top of this page state Applicants will not be granted this right if they have not created at least 25 new articles on the English Wikipedia, excluding redirects and disambiguation pages. You have created fewer than 17 (at least one of them was not an actual creation). Even if you had created 25, articles like Kristian PH (I don't think I would've accepted that as an A7, but it was a BLP sourced entirely to YouTube) within the past six months is a dealbreaker. Luckily, autopatrolled does literally nothing to help you create articles. It exists solely to help reduce the NPP backlog, and nothing else.  Not done.

[edit]

Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Leaning towards no, mainly on account of a lack of demonstrated need, but willing to be overruled or persuaded otherwise. Primefac (talk) 19:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
As an example; I'd be able to close this RM if there is no consensus, as I did the previous that lacked consensus, but I wouldn't be able to if there was consensus. The one I closed had sat in the backlog for almost two months. CNC (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
@CommunityNotesContributor: Feel free to close some more RMs even if you'd need to request assistance at WP:RM/TR to implement some of them. See WP:RMNAC. And in other instances where you would use this permission to make a swap or move a page without leaving a redirect, just ask at WP:RM/TR for now. I basically agree with Primefac, so I'll mark as  Not done. I'd consider granting this when you've made more like 10 technical requests. SilverLocust 💬 06:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
@SilverLocust: Understood, thanks for explaining. I hadn't really considered using RMTR to implement an RM closure, but in future I won't shy away from such closures that require it. On a side note, the word "several" would be well placed at WP:PMCRITERIA to describe "Participation in requested moves and move reviews," , as I read this as simply plural/multiple; and with approval otherwise being at the discretion of an admin, it wouldn't change much. It could help to reduce backlogged requests such as mine in future. CNC (talk) 11:11, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Ironically I've now made 10 technical requests for page moves. 5 more at RMTR (diff1 diff2), another four via ANI ([5] diff) to avoid time wasting and as preventative measure to reduce requests at RMTR (diff), and including first ever request (diff), that makes 10. Looks like I could have cleaned up this mess made by a single editor given the opportunity. CNC (talk) 15:10, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Over time, I have made numerous move proposals on talk pages. Sometimes I don't get a reply from other editors and I bring it to WP:RM/TR. Other times, an administrator notices the proposal and implements it. Some of these could probably have been undiscussed bold moves and not required discussion at all. All of them are impossible without the page mover permission because they would overwrite a redirect. I'd rather save y'all the trouble of reviewing and do them myself.

I've made 269 page moves and 22 edits at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. I was granted this permission once before, but it expired. Daask (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi SparklingBlueMoon. For these requests you should both have a demonstrated need for the right and meet the guidelines for granting. You haven't given a reason that you would need this, and you haven't previously gone to WP:RM/TR to request technical help with a move, so I don't see the first. As to the guidelines for granting, you don't quite meet the 6 months criterion, and I don't think you have enough experience with the moving process (2 RM comments, 0 RM/TR requests, 46 distinct moves – usually without edit summaries explaining the moves or noting relevant guidelines for the move). For now, if you are unable to perform some move, please just make a technical request at WP:RM/TR or open a requested move discussion.  Not done.
I'd also recommend not to move articles to draft space immediately after they have been created or while someone is still actively been recently working on them. As explained at WP:NPPHOUR and WP:DRAFTNO, you should give the creator time to work on it. Newly created articles are configured not to appear in search results until they have been reviewed, so there isn't a rush to move incomplete articles to draft space, and working on new articles in the main article space is permitted.

I have had the flag for a long time until I decided to have it removed recently. It appears that file-mover right doesn't have the required redirect-suppression right, and as such some file renames where I have to suppress the redirect, leave behind a redirect with a CSD tag - which I find odd as it adds to the load of admins.

[edit]

Hello everyone. I would like to request rollback rights here. I have a long and controversial history on the English Wikipedia but hope that especially in recent years, I have proved as to other editors, as well to the administrators, a positive change in my editorial behavior. I myself, don't forgive and don't forget my mistakes, but believe that with my experience and knowledge on the Macedonian issue, I will be useful in the fight against vandalism in this complicated question. Even though I'm worried, I remember Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 09:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello Jingiby. You had rollback declined a few years ago (June 20, 2018), per this link. At that time, reviewers mentioned your prior blocks on enwiki and an indef block on the Macedonian Wikipedia. The admin who declined your rollback was User:Swarm. Have there been any new developments since 2018 that you would like to bring to our attention here? EdJohnston (talk) 23:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
I haven't been blocked on the Macedonian Wikipedia for years, but in general, the attitude towards Bulgarian editors on historical topics there is a quite special. Jingiby (talk) 06:03, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

  • Third user comment: I coincide with this user often, everytime I check their contributions they're filled with reverts of IPs and warning messages. I checked and they were unblocked from Macedonian Wikipedia in 2019, plus their claim probably has at least some truth, it's a small Balkan Wikipedia after all. It's also been 6 years and a half since their last request; it had been one year here since they were unblocked at that time, and now it's almost eight, no small amount. I'd recommend a trial period on this user. They'd probably do well. Super Ψ Dro 23:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

They have been doing an immense work with reverting IPs and vandals for years and WP would certainly be in a much worse place right now, if it weren't for them. If this rollback feature is going to help with their editing, I believe they deserve it, in my humble opinion. Piccco (talk) 21:10, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"

    [edit]

    On 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.

    Short To Do list

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

    [edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
