Reason: Since July 2024 [1] the article has been repeatedly edited by a user who claims to have recently become the Lord of Chertsey.

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.

Gaza genocide

[edit]

Genocide Watch states that: „A genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel is underway in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister General Yoav Gallant have demonstrated their intent to destroy a substantial portion of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza. It is also committing crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the West Bank.” See https://www.genocidewatch.com/single-post/genocide-emergency-gaza-and-the-west-bank-2024 This information should be added to first paragraph of Gaza_genocide#NGOs_and_intergovernmental_organisations Jakub Onderka (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25+ BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering. CNC (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

Hi, I would like to request this right because I have met the criteria for 25 articles that are free of problems. I would like to use it for my interest in WikiProject Korea. You can see all of articles i've created here! :) Aidillia(talk) 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) In Buried Hearts, there's a bit of mess with the history, seeing that it was first deleted but later recreated and then expanded, this time, with copyright violations which remained not until GreenLipstickLesbian fixed and requested a revision deletion today. Checking through some other creations revealed some issues like grammar errors. Things like these are what the NPP is for, and English Wikipedia is not ready to keep copyvios on the site, not ever.
It also appears to be that Labor Attorney Noh Moo-jin had copyvio issues, which GLL fixed too. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:04, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Well, I don't know if translating from a website is forbidden, because a few months ago, there was someone who reverted my edit because of no reliable sources for the description I wrote myself. So after that, what was included in the sources I used. Many people I see do that. And now I know I'm trying to remove it as much as possible and do some fixing.

Hello, I primarily work with files on Wikimedia Commons, where I have file mover and autopatrol rights. The process of file moving on English Wikipedia is almost the same as the practices on Commons. I also have experience working on files on English Wikipedia, including submitting several rename requests. Moreover, I have file mover rights on Bengali Wikipedia, further demonstrating my familiarity with file management across Wikimedia projects. I am familiar with Wikipedia:File names and request this right to enhance my work. Thanks.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 05:15, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I've been editing wikipedia semi-actively when real life allows for almost 3 years and recently surpassed 1000 edits. I have fully read and understood everything linked at WP:PCCRITERIA. The main reason I think I am suited to having pending changes reviewer rights is because of my current project to clean up the backlog at CAT:ESP, CAT:EEP and in the future CAT:COIREQ. The work between those and proposed changed reviewing is very similar and would allow me to help there as well. Ultraodan (talk) 11:01, 1 January 2025 (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)

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
