Current requests for increase in protection level

Request addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Various users associated with the subject seem to have consistently been adding unsourced, inappropriate content for as long as the article has existed. My edits have been repeatedly reverted, replaced with unsourced and substandard content. ApwCow 12:04, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The edits you reverted were at least ten years old, and as for "repeatedly", you do not seem to have edited the article, at least not since 2014, prior to your recent edits. Also, there's not much visible reverting in the edit history, not recently, not in the past decade. Daniel Case (talk) 21:09, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

DeclinedPages are not protected preemptively. One short paragraph falls strictly under PIA, the remainder of the article does not. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:46, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated edits by a series of linked TA accounts over several months, BLP concerns and problems with V and NPOV. See talkpage of the article for more info re the problems. Slp1 (talk) 17:16, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Staraction (talk · contribs) 20:01, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Reason: The article was previously protected for two days because of persistent disruptive editing. Soon after the protection expired, several anonymous editors resumed making disputed changes and haven't substantively engaged with the sourcing and policy-based discussion. Either longer-term semi-protect or pending changes would be useful. BRDN (talk) 20:12, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. The Bushranger One ping only 23:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Reason: Repeated addition of questionably-sourced content by TA accounts who refuse to engage in talk-page discussion, despite repeated requests. The 'sources' cited include an inscription on a rock that apparently says "By ʾzd son of {Hys¹r} and he {spent the season of the later rain} in this shallow depression". How this is supposed to support the text is anyone's guess. The other source cited might possibly have some merit, but isn't available online, and from the abstract appears not to discuss the Ghassanids. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:20, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

edit
Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level

Reason: I am writing regarding Draft:Elmedin Ademi, which was previously deleted and creation-protected due to repeated promotional or copyright-related draft submissions. I understand the concerns reflected in the deletion and protection logs. I also understand that biographies of living persons must be written neutrally, based on reliable independent sources, and without promotional language. I have a conflict of interest with the subject, so I do not intend to directly create or publish the article myself. Instead, I would like to prepare a neutral draft through the Articles for Creation process, with clear COI disclosure, limited claims, and properly cited sources. The revised draft would avoid promotional language, family/private details, unsupported claims, and copied material. It would focus only on verifiable information such as business activity, public recognition, and public reporting from reliable sources. Would you be willing to advise whether the creation protection can be reduced, or whether an AfC reviewer or administrator may create/review a neutral draft for this subject? Thank you. ~2026-35496-70 (talk) 09:25, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-35496-70: You probably need to consult with the protection admin before requesting unprotection per the notice at the top of this page. --Prothe1st (leave me a message)-- 22:14, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

edit

I have created around 43 articles, mostly about insects and other species. I plan to continue contributing and creating new articles every week. It would be great if I could be granted autopatrolled rights, as this would help reduce the workload for NPP reviewers. Tatupiplu(she/her · talk · email) 07:20, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

@Tatupiplu: your one biography article is missing citations (Vladimír Balthasar). Could you also explain Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gayathripuram Educational & Charitable Trust? voorts (talk/contributions) 20:29, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
@voorts: Thanks for pointing this out. I have now fixed Vladimír Balthasar by adding better citations and correcting the death-date sourcing issue. Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gayathripuram Educational & Charitable Trust, that was one of my early article creations from 2020. Looking back, I agree with the AfD outcome. At the time I misunderstood the subject as essentially a school/primary-school article, but the discussion correctly treated it as a charitable organization, where the cited material did not establish notability. The sources were mainly a government/NGO listing, the organization’s own material, and local event listings, which may verify some facts but do not provide the independent significant coverage needed for WP:GNG / WP:ORGDEPTH.
I would not create that article today without independent, reliable secondary coverage. My more recent creations are mostly species/insect articles, and I now focus on keeping new pages narrowly written, reliably sourced, neutral, and verifiable. Tatupiplu(she/her · talk · email) 03:53, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Prolific article creator with Women in Red. I spot-checked their recent creations for notability, copyright hygiene, and text–source integrity, and found no issues. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:18, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

@Animaliak: why is Jholerina Brinnette Timbo notable? I'm not seeing any significant coverage cited in the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:36, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
Also Jordan Chanetsa. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:38, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
Hello. I think both of them are significant figures in the LGBTQ community in their respective home countries (both of which lack legal and social protections for transgender people, which can make it more difficult to find sources from the country about them). I would say that there is significant coverage in at least some of the sources cited - Jholerina had obituaries published in Mamba Online (a regional LGBTQ news websites) and by several human rights organisations, while Chanetsa's work has been covered in German cultural media. I do 100% agree that there is a lack of coverage among mainstream outlets, but given what I have said about the lack of coverage on particularly transgender people in southern Africa, I still think they are notable people deserving of articles with some sources that are significant available; of course, I am always happy to search the web for more. Animaliak (talk) 08:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting restoration of the autopatrolled user right. It was revoked on 4 December 2025 when I was blocked in connection with an SPI investigation led by Moneytrees. Later, I was unblocked on 11 December 2025 and was advised to spend a few months doing uncontroversial work before requesting the right again. asilvering also advised against reapplying too soon. I followed this advice and waited approximately six months before making this request. Since my unblock, I have focused on uncontroversial editing and have created 22 new articles, most of which were successfully reviewed (Total: 85 articles, 2 deleted). I would appreciate having the right restored so that my new page creations no longer require manual review. In support of this request, I am linking to the most recent comment by Moneytrees. I respectfully ask that this request be evaluated on its own merits and based on my editing record since my unblock. Thank you.

I have created 25 articles, most of which are regarding historical figures, and some about historical monuments. I plan to continue to frequently create more articles in the future. I would like to be granted the auto patrol right so that the workload of NPP reviewers is reduced.

OK, I've reviewed what I was told at my last request. I now have over 200 mainspace edits. I've tried singing up to CVU/A, and now I'm just waiting.

Hello! I'd like rollback if I ever come across vandalism (I see some as a PCR). I check recent changes almost every day, but mostly all the cases of vandalism get reverted by capable rollbakcers. As far as I can tell, this is the best way (and I think you need this for interceptor, which really seems to make it better). Thanks! In solidarityWikipedian12512 (Talking is fine | contribs) 18:34, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I've been patrolling recent changes frequently. While my account is still somewhat new (and I took a short break last week), I do have 566 edits so far - mainly involving reverting vandalism (but I have also wrote new articles, reported users, participated in afd, and improved articles). I always warn users after I revert their edits. Ever since I have gained access to Twinkle, it has made patrolling so much easier. I would like rollback permissions to be able to use the antivandal and interceptor tools too. Those tools would make reverting much more efficent. FlammablePizza (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
