Current requests for increase in protection level

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.


Reason: Tim Membrey has been linked with a delisted free agency move to the Collingwood football club. However some not logged in users have fallen under the impression that he has officially been signed on with them and no longer plays for the Saints. If Collingwood do end up signing him the earliest he can do it is on November 1st 2024. Flipstatic Energy (talk) 09:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 10 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. El_C 18:47, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Intermittent vandalism and aggressive participation (e.g. repeated personal attacks) by an non-EC user, who has refused to stop after being politely told several times that they were violating the WP:ARBECR by involving themselves in Israeli-Palestinian conflict-associated editing.

Examples of the said user’s ECR violations: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII.

Also this by another non-EC user.

P.S. In the content of the article, “Israel” is mentioned 48 times, “Palestine” 6 times while “Gaza” 3 times. It has basically intertwined with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Steven1991 (talk) 12:41, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

To provide more context, within the past several days this user has made multiple attempts at trying to prevent other users from engaging with the page: 1, 2 , this just appears to be a latest attempt.
They were told by an admin, Those edits aren't vandalism; this is a routine content dispute over inclusion, where WP:ONUS applies, especially given that there are WP:BLP concerns. If anything, repeatedly re-adding contested material without consensus is the most problematic behavior here. Anyone reviewing this should also be aware of OP's recent history ... On consideration, I suggest that you find other, less controversial topocs to edit
They were also told, In looking at the article talkpage, there are numerous editors expressing concerns about content you are pushing to include. And you are repeatedly personalizing the dispute and casting plenty of aspersions of your own--to an unwise degree given your own recent block history (three in the past month), and made doubly so by your decision to call admin attention to this dispute. My best advice to you is to ... show more good faith at the talkpage, and make sure you understand WP:ONUS, WP:BLP, and WP:BLPCRIME; your hands are far from clean here
On the article's talk page they began spamming (1, 2, 3, 4) me with alerts regarding ECR, when no one else agrees with WP:ARBECR applying to the article, and were told (1, 2), You know they're already aware of ECR, they were aware before you started alerting them.They're allowed to edit this article, just not be involved in WP:PIA. Now stop harassing them by spamming alerts at them. You've been told before not to do this with other users ... I already pointed out that they are allowed to edit this page as antisemitism as a whole is unrelated to WP:PIA & just because some aspects under ECR are included in the article, does not mean the entire article is under ECR.     Now please, leave them alone, stop aggressively trying to kick them off the page, & focus on content Wikipedious1 (talk) 15:09, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
I.) Isolated instances of reversing edits that apparently violated the WP:VANDAL and WP:ARBECR are not considered edit warring, when some of your last week’s mass deletions of well-sourced content comprised a few to no reasons, as pointed out by one of the admins who intervened ( “Lol” is not a reason ), not mentioning those entries were directly associated with the A/I conflict in which you’re not supposed to have got involved in the first place.
III.) Last week, I made a significant compromise by removing the vast majority of the specific entries you didn’t want to be kept in the list so as to address your “concerns” so as to de-escalate for any disputes the sake of de-escalation.
IV.) I have never ceased to follow the demands from you/other users concerning any other disputed content, despite my personal disagreement – I removed those entries accordingly without much questioning when it’s supposed to take place prior to any mass deletion attempts.
V.) I have tried my best to be patient and keep all of my replies as polite, civil and humble as possible, none of which however seemed to have been reciprocated by you at any point of time. You do not appear to have shown any signs of improving your manner in your correspondence, which I find considerably intimidating.
IV.) It is not “spamming” when you appeared to have violated the rules of engagement repeatedly and got relevant reminders. They are reminders – gentle reminders. I advise you to follow the WP:AGF and avoid mischaracterising my actions as anything “malicious” unfriendly when what I desire is respect.
You were asked repeatedly, as per the WP:NPA and WP:HA, to stop referring me to as an “entity” (dehumanising code word) or persistently employing offensive language in your replies to my polite and humble messages. You don’t appear to have apologised to me either despite your claim of having “reformed”.
Rather than listen, you appeared to have continued the suspected WP:NPA, WP:HA and WP:ARBECR violations. Reminders were given repeatedly as I didn’t want to bring in the specialised admins when they’re already busy enough – I have exercised maximal restraint throughout the process. Steven1991 (talk) 15:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
I think your first point is the only one that seems reasonable to me, I did make edits and discussion regarding protests related to WP:PIA, which may be incorrect, however I have refrained from discussing the conflict, or taking a side, other than describing what I perceived to be Biden's side in the conflict (this was relevant to a disputed incident in the article). In other words I made edits and discussions about protests, and a public figure's opinions (Biden's), only when it was relevant to specific incidents on the list that were in contention. I do not believe the entire article is related to WP:PIA, however, and I would dispute that, and I would guess that that is not the consensus among the editors. I want to point out that I have refrained from editing the page until a consensus to the current impasse is reached. I also think it's strange that I was blocked for making improper edit summaries (including what you're referring to, I don't understand why you're still bringing that up or presenting it as an ongoing issue when it has been settled), which means an admin or admins saw my edits, and decided that I hadn't broken any rules other than making improper edit summaries and not properly discussing my edits. It just seems strange that only within the past <24 hours it appears to have become a problem, when I was blocked on the 12th of October. For any admins my question would be why no one seemed to have caught this additional, earlier breach.
You don’t appear to have apologised to me either. I referred to you as the "Steven Entity" several times in 2 separate occasions, once on your talk page and once on the article's talk page, separated by the IIRC 48 hours of my block period. I thought it was all in good humor especially as a newer Wikipedia user who has not really engaged in discussion on an article talk page before, but since engaging with other editors I've since realized that creating nicknames for others -- only meant in good humor and not to seriously hurt other's feelings -- is an impediment to civility and consensus, and I have shed the earlier immaturity. I also noticed that you did not tell me to not refer to you in this way, so I thought it was okay to do so. In day to day civil discussion, as an example, I would expect someone to correct me immediately if I were to misgender them or mispronounce their name - in this situation I was only told by other members not to refer to you in this way, and you did not remark on it until after I already agreed to stop referring to you in this way. While it seems that this has been a major slight to you -- which is fine, you are of course allowed to feel that way -- I do get the feeling that it is being weaponized as another "point" you have in your dispute against me, in the same way your request for page protection seems to be another weapon you've decided to fire as part of the dispute rather than something you believe at a genuine level would allow for more meaningful contribution to the article. Though these points do not take away from the fact that my nickname for you was wrong. I do want to apologize to you for referring to you in this way on 2 separate occasions, and I do want to point out that I did agree to not refer to you in this way, and I have not done so since, I also want to thank you for improving my netiquette and my ability to use Wikipedia through engaging in our dispute. I'll repost this to your talk page as well, though I do question why you're bringing it up on this page and what relevance it has here, as well as what relevance some of these matters that appear to be settled have to this request for protection. Wikipedious1 (talk) 16:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I've since realized that creating nicknames for others -- only meant in good humor


It is not just a nickname. Calling a living person an “entity” is a form of dehumanisation. It’s not an isolated incident. It happened repeatedly. My perception of it being in violation of the WP:NPA is thus legitimate.

While it seems that this has been a major slight to you


Still, you do not appear to be acknowledging that it is inherently wrong. It is not my subjective perception but an objective fact that it is under no circumstances acceptable to be doing what you seem to have ultimately shown the slightest bit of willingness to somehow feel apologetic for.

I do get the feeling that it is being weaponized as another "point" you have in your dispute against me


Still, you are casting aspersions on me. I am sorry to say that you haven’t appeared to show the willingness to acknowledge that what has been done is inherently wrong under literally all circumstances in daily life.

in the same way your request for page protection seems to be another weapon you've decided to fire as part of the dispute


Because the issue has continued. I have been pretty patient, polite and humble throughout the process, but what did I get in return? It is hard to describe, isn’t it? Steven1991 (talk) 19:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
V.) Your quoted user has apparently NEVER never been involved in the editing of that article at any point of time, not least the period 1 September~19 October 2024. The user is a disinterested party who made a highly subjective judgment based on very limited information and he has no administrative powers on the site and who’s supposed not to get involved either.
VI.)

when no one else agrees with WP:ARBECR

It does not require any participant’s “agreement”. It is a site-wide rule applicable to every individual participating in Wikipedia’s editing activities. You were reminded by other users of such requirements in some of the entries pertaining to the discussion as well, which you don’t appear to have followed.Steven1991 (talk) 15:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Checking to see if protection is necessary. I could see protecting at EC level as related content for a limited time, like a year or so. But there needs to be diffs showing that more than a couple non-WP:XC users are engaging the topic area on that page. Sorry, the above is just too lengthy and disorganized for me to easily parse, so I suggest compiling the evidence concisely, with diffs alongside names and dates. Thank you. El_C 18:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Regarding non-WP:XC user participation, this and this user were also participating substantially in the article concerned and had made been making a significant input touching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They are not supposed to have engaged in the first place until they have acquired an XR status, but such a site-wide rule has seemed to be ignored by them since they started their participation in the article concerned. The former non-XC user even posted about the matter associated with the article concerned on different Talk pages, which is not supposed to have been done, despite being reminded by an uninvolved admin to stay away from the topic area.Steven1991 (talk) 18:52, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, if it's just a couple of users, then it's more of an WP:AE/WP:ANI matter, but otherwise falling short of applying ARBECR (it'd be different if it was a primary article, but not for related content). Anyway, if those two users repeat the violations, they should be dealt with by warnings/blocking rather than protecting the page for everyone else. I'll leave this open for a while more, in case you have more evidence to submit that shows there being more than two non-XC users violating the remedy. Also, no links to talk pages or contribs, WP:DIFFs only, please. El_C 19:14, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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.


My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:

"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"

1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.

Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[8] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.

2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@FortunateSons: A quick browse shows at least for the first part support for removal, can you add any additional incite? -- Cdjp1 (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
I've removed #2. But there does seem to be evidence that pro-Palestine protests have been banned in parts of Germany at times.[9][10][11].VR (Please ping on reply) 14:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. Maybe the following article gives a bit more clarity.[[12]] Gilbert04 (talk) 18:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Unfortunately that source seems incomplete. Germany has indeed suppressed peaceful criticism of Israel.[13] And Washington Post says "A planned photo exhibit in southwestern Germany was canceled as a result of social media posts by its curator, including one describing “genocide” in Gaza."[14] VR (Please ping on reply) 22:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Well, I do not think that any source will ever be complete. Let me add two more.[[15]][[16]] Gilbert04 (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
@Ecco2kstan, how about: "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations. Supporters of Israel say that accusing Israel of genocide is both antisemitic[17][18] and a form of Holocaust erasure[19], but others argue antisemitism shouldn't be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations.[20][21][22][23]".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm not as familiar with the Holocaust erasure claims, but I'm happy with that reworking! If that weaponization of Holocaust denial detail isn't on the weaponization of antisemitism page already, it might be a worthwhile phenomenon incorporate if there's more citations you can find. I might look into it myself. Thanks! Ecco2kstan (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
That does sound quite balanced. +1 from me. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Inform readers of the distinction between the dagger symbol and the cross symbol in the infobox.

Under "Commanders and leaders" in the infobox Yahya Sinwar has a dagger next to his name, but others such as Marwan Issa have a cross next to their name. The distinction between these symbols is not immediately clear to someone reading the article, I feel that this should be explicitly noted on the page. The Elysian Vector Fields (talk) 20:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@TheElysianVectorFields: That isn't the article page, that's the infobox template. I changed the target for you above. It seems the dagger means "killed in action" (KIA) and the cross means "assassinated". I honestly don't know how I'd add a note to that effect. Maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:52, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

The last few sentences of the second lead paragraph regarding assassinated Hamas leaders are too detailed for the lead. I don't believe including all of their names without reason is appropriate when the Infobox can convey a simpler understanding of their demise and state. Instead, figures of utmost relevance should be accounted for with reasons outside of their killings.

My suggestion is to change this:

In January 2024, Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy political chief of Hamas, was assassinated in Beirut, Lebanon. In July, Israel claimed to have killed military leader Mohammed Deif in an airstrike in al-Mawasi. In August, Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas was assassinated in Tehran, Iran. In October, Yahya Sinwar, the chief and preceding political leader of Hamas, was killed in a shootout in Rafah.

To this:

Throughout 2024, Israel has killed many of Hamas' political and military officials. Prominent figures killed by Israel include Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, who have collectively served as political leaders for Hamas since 2007, and supposedly[citation for clarity] Mohammed Deif, who led Hamas' military branch, the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, since 2002.

This connects to Israel's goals described prior to this section, while establishing the impact of those killings pertaining to Hamas and Palestine as a whole. The readability of this is a bit wonky though, so if you have any better ideas, please let me know! Ecco2kstan (talk) 04:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

OOPS! I made a mistake in the title. This DOES NOT pertain to the Gaza Genocide article! This is about the Israel-Hamas War. Ecco2kstan (talk) 04:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have done TWO rollback rights request, and I am happy to say that I have surpassed 200 mainspace edits and have also surpassed 1 month of Recent Changes Patrolling.I love the ability to help, and I already love to prevent vandalism with the help of Ultraviolet and Twinkle. I am ready to join the rollbacker force to get access to more tools, like AntiVandal and Huggle for even faster response. Don't worry, I won't bite the newcomers unless necessary!

Could you please comment on this edit and subsequent warning from @Oblivy. Why did you make this edit and do you believe it was appropriate for Oblivy to warn you? -Fastily 05:26, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
I was a beginner at the time and I did not think that I would have to read the diffs for an edit that causes the word "its" to change to "it's." I really think that it was important for Oblivy to warn me, as it teaches me to never just blatantly use find and replace. Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits! 01:29, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
For what it’s worth the rapid fire use of find and replace gave me some concerns. I did look through their edits and this seemed to be a one-off, and the immediate acceptance of responsibility and efforts to resolve are praiseworthy. OTOH automated tools in the wrong hands can cause a lot of havoc in a hurry… Oblivy (talk) 09:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I've randomly sampled your recent edits and I'm seeing an unacceptably high number of serious mistakes. In addition to the error above, I found:
  1. Here, you offered poor advice and almost inappropriately moved the page to userspace. Pages like this are not acceptable on Wikipedia, even in the userspace.
  2. Editors may remove warnings from their talk pages at any time, meaning this revert followed by these warnings (1, 2) and subsequent AIV report are extremely inappropriate
  3. I'm not sure why you felt the need to insert a {{Static IP}} template here. Not a helpful edit. Also worth noting that this doesn't belong in a section header, which breaks the page formatting.
I think you need to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works (i.e. quit RC Patrol for now and go make article contributions instead) before applying for advanced permissions. To be clear, RC patrol isn't a race to see who can revert the most edits, so please don't treat it as such. Closing as  Not done. -Fastily 23:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, but am I not allowed to ever submit again because of these or are you just saying wait a bit? Cooldudeseven7 tea talk 00:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
You can resubmit at a later time. I would recommend waiting a good amount of time, addressing comments left above, and making sure you are ready and qualified.

(Trying this again because one of my scripts broke the template)

I have been reverting vandalism and patrolling recent changes for over a month now. The last time my request was declined, I simply hadn't been patrolling for a month at that point, and @Fastily had no other objections. I have consistently warned all vandals I reverted and reported many to AIV. I believe I'm ready to have rollback now. Also note that I am a pending changes reviewer.

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make (especially when reverting good faith edits). Are you aware of tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which make this extremely easy? -Fastily 23:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
@Fastily Diff by diff:
1. Completely forgot that there is a warning template for NOTFORUM. The last time I used that warning was all the way on Sept 13 [27] which is more than a month ago. Completely skipped my mind.
2. I have no explanation on this one; I probably just forgot.
3. No explanation either.
The earlier failures seem to be one off mistakes I made that happen to be close together, but the revert that happened just today is definitely very unfortunate for me not to warn. The sea of reverts I've made mostly have warnings other than the above, so I don't exactly know how I managed to forget to warn at all. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again. TheWikiToby (talk) 01:10, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have experienced myself with editing on Wikipedia and undoing vandalism on Wikipedia, and I think I am ready to undo vandalism the easy way. If anyone could reach out to me so we can get this settled and I can have my rights, then that would be great. Thanks! - Bigeditingideas (talk) 23:18, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 23:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I've been patrolling Special:RecentChanges for vandalism, and I sometimes encounter editors who rapidly vandalize many dozens of pages before being blocked. In these cases, I don't need to check each diff before reverting it, so I'm requesting rollback to more efficiently handle them. I am also interested in the tools that require rollback, such as Huggle. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it.

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration.

 Comment: @SafariScribe: I'm a little puzzled here, I randomly picked like seven articles from your recent creations, and they were all dab pages, which generally aren't really considered when evaluating these requests. Could you maybe provide some examples of fairly recent content creations? Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 23:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I think you are generally doing a good job getting articles started, but in pretty much every one of the articles you linked, I also see others coming along and fixing them up, correcting language/grammar/etc, and in one case a copyvio that had to be revision deleted. So, while it is great that you are expanding the project with new content, I think your creations would continue to benefit from being reviewed by others.

I have created 247 articles on English Wikipedia, covering a variety of subjects. I am currently a New Page Patroller and actively participate in Articles for Creation (AfC) and Articles for Deletion (AfD). I also enjoy turning the red links of notable recent deaths into blue, and I believe this right will help to reduce the workload at New Page Patrol (NPP). Thank you.

Hi, I have created 25 articles by 2021, none of which has been deleted. Recently, I created another 3 articles, and in total I have made 3200 edits (none of which has been deleted). These articles and edits are primarily about modern Chinese history, which I am familiar with. And I just realized I may have been qualified for the "auto-patrol" right for a long time, but never asked for it. Therefore, I'd like to ask to become an auto-patroller which hopefully will also save some work for the new page patrollers in the future. Thank you very much.

Haha hi, thanks. I'm not very active anymore due to the need to continue getting my life together but will probably return to creating articles someday.

Hello, I’m requesting Autopatrolled rights to help reduce the New Pages Patrol workload. I focus on classical Greek topics and have translated many pages from the Greek Wikipedia, having created over 50 pages so far. With these rights, I could streamline my contributions and make the review process easier. Thank you for considering my request. StuggerMax (talk) 17:51, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

 Done, I see there were some issues with copyright and sourcing when you started editing, but they haven't reoccurred recently. – Joe (talk) 13:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

I have returned to editing after a looooong wikibreak (life happens). Before that I was a reasonably active user in good standing for a couple of years and created quite a few articles only one of which was deleted (while I was on wikibreak so not around to add the additional sourcing, from specialist publications, that it needed to confirm notability).

I'm in the process of updating many out-of-date articles about carnivorous plants, including filling in large gaps in the taxonomy, so I have well over 100 new pages on my to-do list. To reduce the burden on NPP, I'd like to request autopatrolled before I start churning through those please. YFB ¿ 16:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

 Request withdrawn On second thoughts, I have the sense I'm about to receive some patronising / demotivating comments, so I won't trouble you all further. YFB ¿ 20:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

(oh, edit conflict proved me correct)

Well, that's been a wikibreak of extraordinary length. Welcome back! As you will appreciate, Wikipedia has moved on in the 17 intervening years. I've had a look at the nine articles that you have produced since you've become active again. The expectation is that articles by autopatrolled editors are clean and don't need attention by others. However, that's not the case for the stubs that you produce, with recurrent issues being lack of categories, tagging for single source or orphan status, DEFAULTSORT missing for bios, and a variety of WP:MOS issues. I suggest that you keep a close eye on how other editors tweak your articles and if you take all those things on board, your articles will be clean enough for becoming autopatrolled in no time.  Not done for the bot. Keep up your good work! Schwede66 20:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I hope that you don't perceive the words above as patronising, Yummifruitbat. Schwede66 21:03, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Respectfully, yes I do. The combination of the manner of your review of my contributions, the edit summaries you used, and the points you chose to pick up on (dashes and subtleties of date formatting; missing linebreak before stub tag; an incorrect accusation of including an unsourced DoB in a BLP where the date was actually ref'd but the ref wasn't repeated directly alongside the date; downgrading another reviewer's assessment from 'Start' to 'Stub') led me to decide to withdraw my nomination as I already felt patronised and demotivated. You replied to my query on your talk page (about the DoB comment) in a way that implied I might not be able to figure out why you, an Admin active on this backlog, were suddenly reviewing my recent contributions. Your comment here reads as though my additions have been borderline worthless. 'The stubs you create', 'recurrent issues', 'lack of categories', 'tagging for single source or orphan status' (the latter both transient one-offs). My understanding was that NPP was supposed to catch and address articles with major issues - BLP problems, serious POV/COI, GNG, WP:NOT, vandalism - not trivial issues of formatting? Perhaps I had the wrong end of the stick. Either way, the net effect is that I feel pretty bitten / tag-bombed and strongly regret placing a request here. YFB ¿ 22:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm sorry to hear that you feel like this, Yummifruitbat. However, I have to respond to those accusations:
  • combination of the manner of your review of my contributions – I've reviewed all of your articles created since you became active again last year. What is wrong with that?
  • the edit summaries you used – when I review editor contributions for autopatrolled, I try to be clear and informative so that it's helpful to the editor going forward. Which edit summary or summaries did not sit right with you?
  • the points you chose to pick up on (dashes and subtleties of date formatting – whenever I review an article, I run a couple of scripts that fix dashes and date formats. You may notice that I have not commented on dashes or date formats above, and in fact, I don't think I ever have as part of a review. I do not consider that relevant to autopatrolled flags.
  • missing linebreak before stub tag – that's something that's useful to know; it wasn't like that 17 years ago. Are you suggesting that you don't want to know when you are editing outside of what MOS prescribes?
  • an incorrect accusation of including an unsourced DoB in a BLP where the date was actually ref'd but the ref wasn't repeated directly alongside the date – thank you for posting about that on my talk page. I acknowledged that I did misunderstand that and proposed a way to resolve this. Isn't that normal editor interaction?
  • downgrading another reviewer's assessment from 'Start' to 'Stub' – I downgraded the assessment because it was wrong; Andreas Fleischmann is a stub and very far from being start class.
  • tag-bombed – I didn't place a single tag, so how can you possibly feel "tag-bombed"?
As I said before, what we are looking for at autopatrolled is editors who can consistently produce clean articles that don't need attention by others. If you have further thoughts on my responses, please don't hesitate to bring them up. Schwede66 00:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
I won't leave a long reply here as it doesn't seem appropriate to clog up this page. I recognise and accept that you have not intentionally patronised me, and to be clear I'm not accusing you of anything (apart from the DoB thing which we have discussed and resolved). What I've intended to describe above is the impression that your approach to the review gave me as a returning editor - and it did give that impression, whether or not you intended it, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the middle of withdrawing my request when you posted your response. I will explain more fully on your talk page. YFB ¿ 01:29, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
