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 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.

Reason: Protection is too high and it was for sockpuppetry in 2018. It's nearly 2025 now so if it needs protecting just do pending changes or semi-protection but unprotection would be better I think. 147.10.234.99 (talk) 23:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Pinging protecting admin User:Ponyo, who might or might not wish to have input. I looked at the history of disruption and it looks pretty bad. I'm inclined to give semi protection a shot (this would eliminate 95% of the disruption in page history), but I'd rather hear from the sysop who made the call first. BusterD (talk) 14:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Unprotection: The action of semiprotecting this article was back in 2011, and the edit summary says something about an OTRS ticket from 2008 - regardless, the article has little views and littler edits, so I think page protection now is unnecessary. LR.127 (talk) 23:09, 23 December 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.

Hayden Panettiere artricle: Joe Somebody (2001) with Tim Allen

Why have you unreverted my revision on the Hayden Panettiere artricle by removing Joe Somebody (2001) with Tim Allen? 86.130.33.243 (talk) 22:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Pinging @Soetermans:. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:18, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the notification, Jéské Couriano. Because of long term abuse, my talk page is edit protected. As stated on top of this page, you could've easily used Talk: Hayden Panettiere to start a discussion and could've mentioned me there. A lead of a biographical article is supposed to mention the most important bits. Joe Somebody is not culturally or commercially significant and has had no impact upon her career. Besides, why did you undo my revision in the first place? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:32, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
I have used Talk: Hayden Panettiere. And Joe Somebody may have received negative reviews but one award nomination went to Panettiere. And that should be on Disney+ UK. As well as Raising Helen and Tiger Cruise. 86.130.33.243 (talk) 23:41, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

That assumes we have a newer one to use. Unless it's uploaded to Commons we can't use a newer image; if a newer one does exist on Commons you need to link it here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 19:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

[edit]

I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([8]). MusikBot talk 03:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) I recently raised issues of close paraphrasing in one of your drafts Special:Permalink/1263547974, I am sure if I check more of your creations now, I will find similar issues. Your creations need a second eye and that is what NPP is for. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:18, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting autopatrolled rights mainly to streamline article creation so that my new articles would be reviewed faster. I have written around 40 articles, mostly about ants, and I would like to get this right to get the articles reviewed faster and reduce workload for new page patrollers. I have been an editor for four years, and my recent new articles have had no issues whatsoever from the reviewers. I will use this right responsibly, and it will be my pleasure to continue assisting my community in updating old articles and creating new content. 2003 LN6 06:52, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@2003 LN6 Just to clarify, having autopatrolled means your articles wouldn't be reviewed, not that they would get reviewed faster. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE
)
14:58, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification. Reducing workload on the NPPs and to not have to wait for my article to get reviewed are my top priorities, so this would help greatly. 2003 LN6 15:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Based on private concerns + too little content-creation. I see a bunch of auto-notable stubs and a few redirects (which are extremely easy for NPP to review and generally does not require reduction). Nothing that demonstrates long-term engagement with our notability policies or other areas of content guidelines that we look for among folks who are AP. Sohom (talk) 09:24, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I am writing to request for Autopatrolled right so as to ensure there is reduction in the workload of NPP process. Having created articles that conform to the content policies of Wikipedia and also learning from other experienced editors' suggestions to improve articles over the years, I believe this request is deserving, supported and this user right will be granted. Thanks Aderiqueza (talk) 19:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done, your last article according to XTools was in two months ago in October, that does not indicate a requirement for this right. Additionally, your last article has editor removing unreliable sources, and making other fixes to it, indicating that your articles would still benefit for a second-look-over (which is what NPP is for). Sohom (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I have made a few articles that seem to be fine, and probably worth a consideration for this permission. Crafterstar (talk) 01:38, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done Something like Marlo Kelly is the exact opposite of what we want to see from candidates for autopatrolled. Schwede66 01:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@Schwede66: Crafterstar didn't create that. They created a redirect that was later turned into the article by someone else. – Joe (talk) 10:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
I shall take another look. Schwede66 12:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Crafterstar, sorry for my sloppy assessment. I'm unsure, though, whether you come to anywhere near 25 articles created, which is a condition for autopatrolled. Do you maintain a list somewhere? What shows up as articles created by you is often a redirect, or something extremely basic like this that was expanded by others before it left draft space. Cast lists do need to be referenced (e.g. The Venery of Samantha Bird) and the prose of The Strangers: Chapter 3 is almost half made up of a long quotation. What I've seen thus far isn't convincing, but I'm happy to take a closer look if you can provide a list of 25 articles created by you. Schwede66 20:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

apologies for wasting your time. Crafterstar (talk) 20:54, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Schwede66, if you are willing to look at the articles created here, from #371 to #383, then


Probably not good enough but just wanted your opinion. Crafterstar (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Nominating this editor for Autopatrolled based on a long history of high-quality page creation (80 new articles created in mainspace, with just one deleted a few years ago). Good encyclopedic style, excellent use of sources, images, formatting etc.; also creates talk pages. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I am requesting for this rights, because I have about 5 new articles that are yet to be reviewed and surely meets the notability criteria, I have been creating and improving articles especially on African Cinema and with this right, I hope to reduce the backlog on the new page reviewers log.

Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

Seems reasonable to me. Will give Dr vulpes a chance to opine before granting. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Looks good to me, I'll review their work and report back. Thank you @Pppery for the ping. Dr vulpes (Talk) 09:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to have AWB permission to do simple maintenance edits, like fixing typos or fixing links to disambiguation pages, more easily. Milo8505 (talk) 19:33, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

{{not done}} Fails minimum criteria. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
@Pppery Sorry, could you inform me of the criteria? I thought it was 500 total main space edits or 250 non-automated mainspace edits, which I pass, as I have more than 500 total mainspace edits.
Thank you and sorry for the inconveniences.

No, you read it correctly and I interpreted the information I was looking at wrongly. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:51, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
So then, can I have it? Milo8505 (talk) 09:01, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
I haven't made any decision on that yet. My future self or a different admin will decide. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Plan to use this to mass create and categorize redirects, as well as mass tagging pages with {{long comment}}. mwwv converseedits 14:04, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that Ozzie10aaaa has posted AfC barnstars on dozens of user talk pages, containing unclosed code that should be closed with |} to ensure the style doesn't spill out to the rest of the talk page ([10]). I would like to use AWB to fix this. Also, I might need it occasionally for post-move cleanup on dozens of pages. Frost 18:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

[edit]

Reason for requesting confirmed rights I have been on Wikipedia for almost 30 days and have over 500 edits, I don’t believe I have gotten a notification that I am confirmed. If I have, please notify me. Yuanmongolempiredynasty (talk) 16:27, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

 Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoconfirmed" user right. MusikBot talk 19:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
Your account is already autoconfirmed, but you may be confusing this with "extended confirmed" that you have not yet reached as your account is only about 25 days old. stwalkerster (talk) 01:43, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

[edit]

Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. I understand the importance of maintaining trust and adhering to Wikipedia’s policies, and I’ve since reflected on how to better contribute responsibly.

Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality.

I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer

[edit]

For the NPP backlog drive. This is my second time participating in one of these drives (hopefully I will be healthier and less busy this time...) -1ctinus📝🗨 02:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

The January backlog drive seems interesting and I need something to do over Christmas break/beyond. I applied for a month-long trial a while back, but was having some mental health issues and just didn't use the tools or even re-apply. My AfC log is relatively lengthy over a period of 3 months. A note about my AfD stats, they are inaccurate. For some reason, when changing my name from "Sir MemeGod" to "EF5", XTools bugged out and only shows random AfDs I've filed/commented on (hence the 90-or-so "no vote detected" ones). EF5 17:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

@EF5: Could you explain what happened with Draft:Artwork at the Pentagon, from your perspective? The history is puzzling. – Joe (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@Joe Roe: Sure! I was on an "artwork at the ____" list-making spree (see List of artwork at the United States Capitol complex and Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)), and I tried my luck at the Pentagon. It would be PRODed for WP:NLIST reasons, which is fair, I didn't know that WP:NOTDATABASE existed at the time, and to avoid it being deleted, I just moved it to draftspace where I could work on it. I guess I forgot about it. I know that doesn't excuse the OR concerns, I guess I just forgot to cite some material, which I'm usually careful about. :) EF5 12:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
@EF5You do realize that the OR concerns are a direct by-product of not following WP:NLIST and not because you forgot to cite material? Sohom (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
That too, it's a mixture. In my opinion, one self-draftified (I'm fully aware it not meeting NLIST was why I draftified it) article shouldn't impede on the seventy-nine newer articles that I've made after that, none of which are tagged (from what I know). I was given the tools for a trial in late-October, and hopefully my few reviews were at least sufficient. EF5 02:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

I've been an AFC reviewer (probationary since March 24). I was off-wiki for some time to take a long break, but I'm back again. Can I get this right for a temporary period of 7 days? I want to explore the difference between New Page Curation and AFC tools. I will request a few more trials later before taking it permanently. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 04:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done, that's not how rights work on enwiki. If you want to test something, feel free to ask for the NPR right on testwiki. Sohom (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Then I will come after a month for requesting the right to clear the backlog drive for February 2025 if required. Thank you. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 02:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

In August, I was granted the new page reviewer permission temporarily (link). Due to some IRL stuff I wasn't very active with it, though none of my reviews were problematic. With the upcoming January 2025 Backlog drive, I'd like to re-request the permission to help reduce the backlog. Skyshiftertalk 15:56, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for page mover

Page mover

[edit]

As an editor with over 80,000 edits since joining in 2015, I'm also a pending changes reviewer. I've moved over 2,000 pages during my time, made over 200 edits at WP:RM/TR to request uncontroversial page moves and participated almost 400 times in requested moves.

My immediate need for this permission stems from my efforts to retitle redirects in line with policies such as WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE. I'm currently unable to move dozens of redirects I've created to more appropriate titles because the desired titles already exist with different tags. This process would be far more efficient with the page mover tool, allowing me to address these titles without requiring frequent requests at WP:RM/TR. Thanks, ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Neveselbert, can you give me a few examples of the redirects you're talking about? Why is it necessary to move them instead of just copying over the tags? I'll also say I'm concerned about all of this: while page mover is a somewhat less sensitive permission than template editor, it's still one that requires a lot of care, especially if you're planning on moving large numbers of pages at once. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 11:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi Extraordinary Writ, I'm referring to the redirects in Category:Premierships of Great Britain and Category:Premierships of the United Kingdom, the majority of which I created years ago. As for why it's necessary, WP:CUTPASTE is one reason, as I'd like to maintain the page history, and another is that it's extremely tedious to have to copy over tags and categories over dozens of pages. As for the template editor issue, I made a mistake under pressure at a time when I wasn't in a good place. I apologised and accepted that my conduct fell short of what was required, although I would point out that I managed to remain in relatively good stead as a TE for about six years. I'm proposing to use the PM right sparingly, and the only number of pages I would move at once would be these redirects and those requested at WP:RM/T. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
So the idea is to move redirects like Premiership of Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton to titles like Premiership of the Duke of Grafton? I don't really understand why that'd be worth doing: both redirects are valid, and it's not worth worrying about which title is best when there isn't an article yet. (I realize only one redirect can be in the category, but still...) I suspect if you requested one of these at RM/TR, it'd be declined as not a useful move. Is there something I'm missing? Extraordinary Writ (talk) 10:26, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
I find the page history argument to be lacking; I suspect there is little to no substantial history on a majority of these sorts of redirects (especially, as you say, if they were all created by yourself). Moving a redirect to another redirect and then editing the original redirect to point to the original target just to save a copy/paste seems like more effort than just editing the second redirect. Primefac (talk) 12:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
It would be vastly less effort with WP:AWB, which I have experience with. I'd just have to substitute {{target of}} after the fact. A copy/paste for dozens of redirects isn't something I'd be able to automate. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
@Extraordinary Writ: Yes, that's the general idea. I think it's worth doing on a personal level since I created the vast majority of these redirects in the first place. Both are valid, of course, but I feel the more concise titles would be more in line with WP:TITLECON. For example, both First premiership of the Duke of Wellington and Death and state funeral of the Duke of Wellington will be in the same category, Category:Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. In any case, it's far more likely that such a premiership(s) article will follow the same pattern as the "Death and state funeral" title, so this would save having to swap categories and the like from First premiership of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington to First premiership of the Duke of Wellington. It's a tedious task but one I'd appreciate the ability to undertake. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
I am not comfortable handing out page-mover when your main use case is unusual and difficult-to-justify moves; I think they deserve more scrutiny than they'd get if you were making them unilaterally. I'm also not sure why you think page mover would save you time: these would have to be individual round-robin swaps, which take at least as long as copying and pasting.  Not done. I continue to think you'd be better off leaving well enough alone here, but if this particular set of moves is really important to you, leave me a note and we can try to find a way forward. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:34, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Good evening! I have had this permission on a temporary basis on May 20th of this year. I had then requested an extension of said right but was declined on the basis of weak communication capabilities and questionable RM closures being made during my trial. Four months passed, and I therefore request to receive the right (okay for another temporary basis to prove my competency).

A month ago, I returned to wp:RM/TR clerking, contesting certain requests and processing them. I could only process (fulfill) the simplest requests, that is, requests that don't require use of the suppressredirect, tboverride or delete-redirect rights bundled with the requesting user group in question. Having page mover rights will enable me to process more pending requests rather than wait for another user to fulfill them.

I am also planning to return back to NPP and AFC activity, due to the fact that I will be on holiday (and therefore, increased online activity) and due to the upcoming backlog drive for the former. suppressredirect would be helpful to carry out draftifications, and also to allow moving drafts to titles which have history that would've been eligible for G6 deletion.

For obvious reasons, I will not (and must not) work in the requested moves venue outside RM/TR (disclaimer:I have been topic banned from closing/relisting discussions four months ago). I have also improved my communication skills and will try to be as clear as possible. I am open to any questions regarding this request or my competency.

Thank you for reading my request. ToadetteEdit (talk) 15:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. I'm glad that there have been fewer issues in the last couple of months, but when the previous problems were so extensive they led to a topic ban, four months isn't long enough for me to be comfortable re-granting the right. For now, maybe consider participating in RM discussions: not only is it recommended for would-be page movers, it's a great way to show both knowledge of policy and improved communication skills. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
So... I will attempt to participate in RMs more. Thank yoi for responding to my request. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

[edit]

I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits). Having this right would mean I can instantly decline bad faith pending edits as soon as I see them. I have read and understood the relevant policies and guidelines relating to pending changes, vandalism and copyright. Beachweak (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talkcontribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I am an active editor with page creation review rights and over 5,000 edits to date. I try to keep my edits neutral and have a history of working with others on some contentious topics. If I make a mistake, I try to fix it and apologise as soon as possible. I have a good grasp of WP policy and MOS, and understand the difference between vandalism, tendentious editing and unconstructive editing. I've also got a very good grasp of copyright law (UK and US) and plagiarism due to my academic and professional background. Lewisguile (talk) 09:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request the pending changes reviewer right for the following reasons:

1. I am highly active in anti vandalism areas of the enwiki (AIV, RPP, etc, I even contributed to SPI) so I know what vandalism looks like when I see it.

2. I see a lot of constructive edits when I am on the "recent changes" section, that go unnoticed for quite a while. Plasticwonder (talk) 18:06, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I have been reverting vandalism since I created my account. Although it appears I am a new user, I also have experience editing Wikipedia and reverting vandalism as an IP for many years (which I will not be disclosing due to security concerns). The rollback right will help me revert vandalism faster, which is why I am requesting it. PersonAccount 🐉 (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

PersonAccount, to be honest, no, it doesn't appear you are a new user. Which is okay if all previous activity was without having an account and without disruption. It will take longer than for other users until the trust for manually granting permissions is there in your case. It isn't yet, to me. Unless someone else grants rollback in the next week or so, I'll decline this with a recommendation not to ask for permissions until your account is a year old. Regarding rollback in particular, Twinkle and Ultraviolet will do just fine. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a few months now. Rollback will help my work, especially when I'm out and about and can only access the app. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to note that I am currently recieving CVU training on this page and am willing to apply again later if it is felt that I am not yet ready for this permission. I would also greatly appreciate any guidence (especially on that page). Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 13:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like rollback to help me combat vandalism more effectively. I currently use recent changes and RedWarn. I feel that I have the experience necessary to handle vandalism in a constructive manner. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 04:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s).

Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I view that having this user right would help in fighting vandalism a lot faster. I know I would be far more efficient with fighting vandalism if I were to be granted Rollback. I have been editing for over 7 months, and I have well over 5140 edits, with a focus on mitigating abuse on the wiki. I am a frequent contributor to AIV and RPP. Plasticwonder (talk) 18:11, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting rollback rights to revert an edit by another user that merged Baroque Pinto with Friesian Sporthorse, without prior authorization or agreement, on 15 November 2024 - a higher-up editor or administrator previously denied a merge request due to "no consensus" in January 2024 - or allowing other users to discuss or dispute the page merge, as indicated for the procedure on Wikipedia: Merging. I have been trying to recover the Baroque Pinto page that was merged into Friesian Sporthorse without success, and need administrator assistance or intervention in order to revert or roll back the merge.
