Admin

[edit]

I am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26. I have been active on a number of online projects - active and passive (SETI@Home, Distributed Proofreaders, Mars crater labeling, Stardust@Home, Folding@Home on the Wikipedia team: Team page, etc.)

Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

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.

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary this article was protected because of sock puppet users but all those account has been blocked and this article needs update and improvement but editors can't do that because of extended confirmed protection.Travis Headache (talk) 12:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

@Anachronist: any thoughts on that? Lectonar (talk) 12:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. The disruption in the contribution history, as well as the hits in in the filter log, are too recent to consider reducing protection at this time. ~Anachronist (talk) 13:25, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The page falsely claim 25,000 women/children deaths in Gaza, quoting sources from March/Febuary. In May 2024, UN had revised those numbers to 12,000, I have attached sources to my edit request in the discussion page.

In response, one of the editors both deleted the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gaza_genocide&diff=prev&oldid=1238760329 And changed the discussion privilages so even the discussion on editing of the page cannot be accessed.

In my edit, I have attached UN official report. Sticking with false figures despite official reports is unethical, and I believe the right change was unproffessional, and stemmed from political objective. 87.71.190.23 (talk) 15:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Making an edit request with legal threats is not a sound strategy. We're not going to lift page protection from WP:ARBPIA articles any time soon. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:05, 5 August 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.

Autopatrolled

[edit]

Has created roughly 30 articles by my count; only one stub, my spotchecks found nothing concerning. Diverging Diamond (is Queen of Hearts's alt; talk) 19:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Is there any indication that the user wants autopatrolled? I don't want to throw rights at someone who would prefer that their creations be reviewed by NPP/AfC. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 10:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
@Red-tailed hawk: Unlike other PERMs, third party nominations for autopatrolled are welcome (preferred even), because it's primarily a tool used by NPP to manage its workload rather than a tool used by the holder to edit. If someone really doesn't want it for some reason, they can of course ask for it to be removed. – Joe (talk) 11:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
@Red-tailed hawk I would be open to having it. Hypothetically I like the idea of someone else checking my articles or critiquing them, but no one who has patrolled my articles has ever really made a significant change or tagged anything, so it hasn't really helped there lol, so if it reduces the NPP workload and gets the page indexed faster I don't see why not. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:04, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
In that case, I have no objection to granting the right. — Red-tailed sock (Red-tailed hawk's nest) 13:08, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

For a third time, I'm applying for autopatrolled rights; my first request was denied in April 2023, and my second request was denied in June 2024. The reason for the first decline was that my previous articles were tagged for "notability." After that decline, I worked on bringing articles over from the Russian Wikipedia and had relatively few problems when other editors were reviewing them (I don't bring over everything from those respective pages, so I added a tag for expanding from Russian to let others know that information is still there). The reason for the second decline was that I moved one of my BLP articles back into the mainspace without changing the sourcing, and it was eventually deleted (that was a mistake on my part). Now, roughly two months later, I have had little to no problems with the other articles I have brought over. I respectfully request that I be granted the autopatrolled permission this time around, as I believe it will help lighten the NPP workload to some extent. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I will use AWB to tag galaxy-related (and other astronomical objects) with the appropriate talk page banners (WP:ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS), and will use it to tag "Weather of _____" with the corresponding task force talk page banner tags.

Extended confirmed

[edit]

I ask permission to translate from English to Italian and viceversa without waiting for the 30 days and 500 edits limits... I would like to add more information about my family and my ancestors (Barattucci, in Wikipedia I found only Antonio: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Barattucci) but I don't think I will reach 500 edits during this process.. and I'd like to translate the pages into English too. Also, I'd like to translate into Italian the page of the Adragna family (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adragna_family), one of its member is my friend Marta Adragna and she asked me to create the Italian version. Thanks in advance, Fabio Barattucci. DucaTux (talk) 22:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

@DucaTux: I'm somewhat sympathetic to this request, but could you try to write some pages here first? If you write some articles on English Wikipedia (or even better, manually translate some articles to the site) that meet our content standards, and you promise to not edit in any contentious topics areas before you have had an account for 30 days with 500 edits, I'd grant this permission.
I'll note that for example, it:Antonio Barattucci is somewhat below our standards as there aren't any inline references (we would also usually want more than one reliable source to demonstrate notability. Also it's discouraged to write articles about people you're closely related to, as you might have a conflict of interest... but obviously it's fine for historical figures from hundreds of years ago.
Finally, we can't grant you any permissions here at Italian Wikipedia, which you'd need to translate to Italian. You'll have to request those there.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Gonna mark this as  Not done for now in the meantime. Elli (talk | contribs) 01:04, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to say that I've been working so hard for the past couple of months. I've made so many contributions to AFCs, I've reviewed over 1,160 articles (accepts: 138, declines: 670, and the rest either rejected or speedily deleted) so far. I'm also actively patrolling the new page feed, adding maintenance tags, and tagging articles for speedy deletion like A3, A7, and G11. I've drafted more than 200 articles that either lacked reliable sources or needed additional sources. In the AFD discussions, I voted on more than 150 pages. Without considering the no consensus results, 98.6% of my AfD's were matches, and even though the votes were assumed to be piles on voting, most of my recent votes were very detailed and specific and weren't pointing towards anyone, but I will accept their valuable advice and try my best to make improvements at AFDs as well. Having said that, I believe that all those contributions exhibit my hard work and dedication. I hope I get a chance to at least prove myself by patrolling new pages, and I would be more than happy to help with the backlog. Thanks for your time and consideration. Waqar💬 18:10, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I was granted pagemover rights nearly a month back, but due to mistakes on my part, the rights have been now revoked. So, I am requesting the rights again on Primefac's advice, explaining why I made the mistakes and how I shall avoid those mistakes going forward.

  • On 30 July, I moved British Indian Army to Indian Army (1895–1947) after which Celia Homeford informed me that the move had been unilateral, following which I immediately proceeded to check the talk page of the article for previous RMs, which I did find and had resulted in the move of Indian Army (1895–1947) to British Indian Army. I hadn't checked the talk page before swapping the page and thus had not been aware of this RM when I had swapped — a mistake on my part. I had checked the WP:COMMONNAME of the article and sought to make the article title WP:Consistent with other historical army related articles like German Army (1935–1945) for instance. I should've checked the talk page and it's archives for any previous RMs and discussions before making the swap. That is what I usually do before making a move or a swap, but this step had slipped my mind in this case. In future, I shall make sure to always check the talk page and the archives for RMs and discussions regarding the article title without fail before making a move or a swap.

I've learnt from my mistakes and hope not to repeat them. I also aim to minimise any chance of any other mistakes on my part. PadFoot (talk) 17:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been doing patrolling for a little while now, and recently started seriously devoting time. I believe I will submit myself in patrolling recent changes in contributing to anti-vandalism work. Thanks Fsrvb (talk) 19:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you started actively editing a week ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month gaining experience editing Wikipedia before assigning you advanced permissions. Thanks, Fastily 03:42, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

I have been monitoring recent changes on pages for a while now AlexBobCharles (talk) 08:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

I’ve been editing for a little while now, I’ve requested page protection and reverted edits which are not appropriate on various pages. I am pretty devoted to editing on Wikipedia and I have an extensive Watchlist so I think this permission would be useful. Adriazeri (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Requests for rollback

Rollback

[edit]

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I don’t believe I'm not, @Fastily:, I warn people using twinkle, here is my warn logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Lordseriouspig&namespace=3&tagfilter=twinkle&start=&end=&limit=50. Lordseriouspig 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I reviewed your contributions from last month and found these within seconds: 1, 2, 3. I'll repeat what I said above: it's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
I’m unsure why I forgot to add a warning for those, @Fastily, considering Twinkle automatically opens the talk page, but I usually warn members, and tools like Anti-vandal or Huggle would probable negate me forgetting warns. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 10:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
No worries, thanks for your honesty. 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. 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 23:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
No problem, @Fastily I’ll definitely try to leave warnings for every revert I make. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 02:57, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for confirming  Done -Fastily 11:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I've been viewing recent changes for a while with Twinkle, and would like to keep using the Android app to prevent vandalism, which requires rollback permissions.

I am aware, after reading others' requests, that warning users after edits must be done every single time. While there are moments in which I have forgot to do this in the past, I will ensure to make it a consistency going forward. LR.127 (talk) 00:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 11:10, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I have been monitoring Recent Changes for around a month now and would like to use Huggle to help me do it, but this requires rollback. I just want to admit it here: at the start I did not always warn users but I do warn all the time now. Either way, thank you! win8x (talking | spying) 01:23, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Oh, but that's what I was already doing. My last like... 200/300 edits are all warned. But sure, I will continue to do so. Thanks! win8x (talking | spying) 04:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
I see reverts from just a few days ago in which you failed to notify the editor (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Like I said, please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users. A few dozen reverts would be ideal. Confirm below once you've done this and I will re-review. Thanks, Fastily 04:54, 5 August 2024 (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.

    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.
