Behavior repeated on several other pages, such as Jagat Gosain, Political marriages in India, also citing ideological reasons such as "it is not necessary to indicate castes", as well as improperly and arbitrarily removing material from the lede ache if appropriately cited in the text, as in Udai Singh of Marwar.

Current requests for increase in 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.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism and LTA; heavily vandalized with unsourced edits by a user named Exclamation3 Ex-Clamation within the last hour, these edits are similar to those made by recent Jeremiah Caquias sockpuppets. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:8832:E50D:A260:4C12 (talk) 05:15, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Someone please do something about this, the user is also vandalizing the semi-protected pages TeenNick and List of programs broadcast by TeenNick, I request ECP on these pages. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:8832:E50D:A260:4C12 (talk) 06:30, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- User(s) blocked: Exclamation3 Ex-Clamation (talk · contribs) blocked by Dreamy Jazz. Globally locked for added good measure. Favonian (talk) 11:34, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated recent (last week or so) disruptive editing by new, likely COI accounts looking to remove sourced content that is "negative" towards the subject. Request re-establishment of semi-protection for at least six months to hopefully deal with the issue. Rambling Rambler (talk) 07:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – The matter is now being discussed at WP:ANI#Revolutionary Communist International, NOTHERE by likely COI accounts. Furthermore, your adversary is auto-confirmed, making semi-protection pointless. Favonian (talk) 11:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. WiiUf ——The dragon travels through the stars 09:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason: One user with an IP Address is making unnecessary changes, please check the article history for more details. I have checked it thoroughly & tried to discuss it with the user, however, it is useless. VKG1985 (Talk | E-Mail | Contrib) 13:10, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Persistent edit by sock, most likely WP:LOUTSOCK. Since behavioral evidence clearly shows that the main contributors to this article are just the sockpuppet and his socks. There’s no way a new IP editor would know about this draft and choose to make their first edit here. Ckfasdf (talk) 13:45, 21 September 2024 (UTC) }}

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – article has a recent history of disruption, appears to be the case again, article belongs in WP:GS/CASTE. Sir Calculus (talk) 13:56, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism by IPs. Charliehdb (talk) 14:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: These sock accounts—Jobayer Hossain Nejami, Md Mahdi Hasan MH, Farhad93, and the IP addresses 103.85.195.11, Arif2727, and 103.176.2.87—repeatedly engage in vandalism by removing well-referenced content.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 14:34, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Voting has concluded and currently the counting is in process. A number of edits without official data have been reverted. These contain speculative or unofficial information sourced from media outlets. Persistent edit-warring and disruptive editing is happening. Currently the article is in a semi-protected state. Increasing the level to Extended confirmed protection could significantly reduce disruptions and edit wars until the official results are declared and the winning candidate is sworn into office. QEnigma (talk) 14:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in 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.
- Template:Occupation by nationality and century category header/nationality/innercore (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Unprotection: Can we reduce the level of edit protections on this subtemplate to match the parent of the template? I'm currently the primary editor/maintainer of this template, and don't have interest in becoming a template editor (beyond editing this family of templates). Mason (talk) 12:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Extended confirmed protected – Favonian (talk) 14:30, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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
I would like to introduce an exceptional editor and author with a amazing track record in editing and article creation. Created 182 articles, none of which have been deleted, with the majority focusing on BLPs. Nice editor, and it’s clear that he is one of the editors for whom this user right was created. GrabUp - Talk 17:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Of course, I am ashamed that I have not yet made 400, 300 or even 150 articles and most likely will never make that many. But I can say in my «defense» that more than half of them are rare goods, they are world premieres. Before that, there were no such articles in Wikipedias. And I had to create Wikidata for many of them, categories on Commons and start from scratch. It is important for me to make articles in the English Wikipedia, because this immediately promotes a new topic to the whole world. --- - Names·nik·tlk 16:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
A good editor with a solid history of article creation, having created 135 articles, with only one being PROD’d in 2014 and another AfD’d in 2018. The other three deletions, which were G6 and G8, are not particularly significant. Since 2018, none of their articles have been deleted. Their article creation primarily focuses on BLPs, demonstrating their knowledge of notability guidelines. I don’t believe they would abuse the right, and granting it would help reduce the backlog. GrabUp - Talk 05:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
A good editor and content creator, they have created a total of 133 articles. One was deleted via G14 in 2022, and another was deleted via A3 back in 2014. Since then, they have created many BLPs and other topic articles, none of which have been deleted. I think they are good to go. GrabUp - Talk 16:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
has created 36 articles, of which over 60 percent (!) are B-class or higher. This was requested and (rightfully) turned down last year, but they have created many more articles and there's no need to patrol. Charlotte (Queen of Hearts • talk) 05:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to introduce another editor with a strong history of editing and article creation. They have created 2,114 articles, including 2 GAs. Their creations include BLPs, which are essential for obtaining the AP flag. Only one of their articles was deleted in 2023 via AfD, and others are G6. Since then, no articles have been deleted. I believe it would be beneficial to grant them this right to help reduce the NPP backlog. GrabUp - Talk 13:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting access for updating census data of highly populated Indian villages in Kerala state and other human settlements on this planet in future. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to use AWB's Checkwiki functionality to alter position of references with respect to punctuation and incorrect ISBNs as I am frequently revising pages that need reference issue support; use find and replace for music album title issues; and use AWB for assistance on creating and correcting items and links within categories of music genres, domestic flag information, and public parks. Thank you. Shotgunheist 💬 19:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Improve articles' layouts, correcting Spanish settlement infoboxes, changing IPA-va (depricated) to IPA|ca-valencia, adding IPA, correcting links, etc. I had AWB rights in the past, however I stopped using Wikipedia due to COVID-19. Now I am fully recovered and would like to carry on improving things here and there. Thank you. Nuvolet (talk) 20:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC) Nuvolet (talk) 20:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC) |

I currently have temporary NPP right which will expire in few days and would like to continue patrolling new pages to help bring down the huge backlog. Ednabrenze (talk) 04:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I would like to request for NPP rights to help reduce the huge backlog of NPP reviewers. I have familiarized myself with the prerequisite required for this permission. I started to help out in draftspace of my interest, and noticed that there are quite of huge backlog that are pending review, in which only NPP reviewers are allowed to accept/reject it, I believed with my knowledge, I can volunteer to reduce it. Thank you for considering me. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 07:36, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
My 6-month trial period is soon expiring. I just came back from a wikibreak (that's why there's not much activity for the past 2 months or so) but am getting back on the wiki! Thanks, Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 18:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Reapplying to have this user rights as I was denied by admin Elli on my first one because of my edit warring block. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 17:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
I occasionally rename new articles to fix poor titles. I also sometimes want to move new articles to draftspace. Generally, neither case needs a redirect for the old title. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 11:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm requesting the page mover permission to help deal with the backlog on Wikipedia:Requested moves, particularly the technical moves but also the requested moves with clear consensus. I have been participating in such discussions with some frequency for a while now, also suggesting the move of some pages myself (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., all of them moved), and I believe my participation with this permission would be beneficial to the project, especially regarding the backlog, as previously mentioned. Sometimes I try to close obvious consensus, but without being a page mover, I cannot do so and have to rely on a page mover (e.g., 1, 2, 3). I have read the policy and, for what it's worth, I always adopt the maxim "if I am not sure, I won't do it" in my edits.

I have reviewed the criteria for receiving this permission, and feel my contribution history demonstrates an adequate knowledge of creating, expanding, and patrolling articles in accordance to Wikipedia policies. Tvfunhouse (talk) 00:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello hello, I have been a Wikipedian for well over 4 months now, and I feel that I have learned a great many things about the site in terms of editing, content, policies, and conduct that I could have never imagined beforehand. If given this right, I humbly commit to using it to the utmost competent and fair / legitimate nature that I possibly can. Thank you Aliy Dawut (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I have been contributing to pages for three years now, with prior experience in patrolling edit filter log. I would like to get reviewer rights so I can contribute to Wikipedia in more ways than I am able to, presently, and help with the backlog. Since my last request in July, I've been making a track record of communicating collegially with other editors, in my talk page and elsewhere. I hope you'll consider me. Thank you. — hhypeboyh 💬 • ✏️ 23:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I have 16 months experience in editing Wikipedia. I wish to contribute whole lot of my time for betterment of Wikipedia and reduce the backlog in all possible ways that I can. As an initial step towards it, I am applying for granting this user right, so I can use it to improve pages in Wikipedia. Thank You! Mischellemougly (talk) 09:15, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
I have been reviewing and fixing bare URLs for the past year and I would like to try something different. I'd like to get reviewer rights to be able to start reviewing from a different angle. Rofraja (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
