[edit]- Hello,
I would like to report a serious instance of vandalism in the Deborah Fritz article. A revision made on March 10, 2025, by the IP address 2601:195:4100:4460:b91d:a7da:d53:30aa, included defamatory and sexually explicit language ("fellatrix") falsely describing me.
This clearly violates Wikipedia’s Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policy, as well as general standards for civility and accuracy. The edit appears to have been made in bad faith and constitutes a personal attack.
I immediately removed the offensive link and I respectfully request that the IP address be reviewed for possible action (e.g., warning or block)
Thank you for your help in maintaining the integrity of this article and protecting the reputation of a living person.
Best regards,
Deborah Fritz

Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:27, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Likely collateral damage as one or several users who are making improvements would be affected by the requested protection. Most of the updating is being done by IPs and very few edits have been reverted. Ad Orientem (talk) 20:15, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP's keep changing cited information (for reference, by consensus, we use the link at the bottom of the infobox - Sherdog - for MMA athletes information because of how many conflicting sources there are out there for things like nicknames, height, weight, competition results, etc. this saves us having to revert constant changes of this information by using a single source for the infobox). Nswix (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
- Declined Just one editor within a /64 range. I left a formal caution. If this continues, report to ANI or ping me and I will page block them. Ad Orientem (talk) 20:19, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Reason: Pp-vandalism DJ DOMINNIC AIRGE (talk) 20:02, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. 173.219.33.177 (talk) 22:32, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – The subject has recently gained the attention of political-leaning opinions pertaining to perceived comparisons to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and has as such been tagged as related to the contentious topic at the talk page. Requesting ECP because a large influx of edits related to this subject matter have recently come about. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 22:44, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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: It has been years since it has been protected, low risk of vandalism now. ExoNeos (talk) 16:13, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Unprotection: 10 years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Unprotection: Ten years of protection with little vandalism or disruption. Thepharoah17 (talk) 22:01, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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]
Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
7-year vet of the site, multiple GANs and DYKs, 51 mainspace articles created of which 49 are live (G6 and G7 deletions for the other two). Etzedek24 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
I have been on Wikipedia for more than a decade, and I truly feel that it is one of my great passions in life. I have more than 30,000 edits, and I am credited with more than 300 articles that are not Redirects or Disambiguation pages. (I personally take credit for more than 100 of these, which did not originate as Redirect pages.) Although I continue to propose Draft pages to this day when I am not 100% confident myself about notability, I frequently go straight to the mainspace and have made a number of articles that have been significant in some form or field, with my particular focus being on film industry and electoral politics pages. Recently, I redirected a few thousand Supreme Court of the United States cases to the case volumes in which they were listed. It was a large-scale project for me, but in the end it was decided that redlinks would be better for promoting caseload knowledge, something that I agreed to and I believe will continue to service our Wikipedia community. For this reason, it might appear that I have a large number of deleted pages, but this is almost exclusively due to this particular project; I had an edit deletion rate of less than 2%, and I had not had a page that I created taken down in years, not since I was a far more novice editor. (You can read more about that SCOTUS discussion here.) I believe that being autopatrolled will continue to allow me to contribute to the Wikipedia community, and that is why I am reaching out to ask for permissions. I am happy to answer any questions or improve any articles that I have created if there is anything noticeable that needs help. Although I have long been looking to increase my permissions and role in the community, I quite frankly have always had impostor syndrome stop me from asking, but a bit of encouragement from Liz made me try. Thank you so much! PickleG13 (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
I was granted a two month trial for this. Have created 100+ articles with 10K+ edits and will continue to do so. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 23:19, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
Regular article creator and Did you know? contributor who demonstrates understanding of the notability guidelines on a number of topics. No copyright violation troubles, and spot-checks for text–source integrity do indeed check out. Note their creation Not-deer was deleted at AfD earlier this year; I'm not inclined to give this too much weight here as it seems to have been a notability edge case, and experienced participants in that discussion gave reasonable arguments both for and against deletion. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:08, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
I have created over 25 new articles that meet notability guidelines and follow Wikipedia standards and guideliness. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s core content policies (NPOV, V, NOR) and believe that being autopatrolled will reduce the workload on new page patrollers. Thank you in advance Lanceloth345 (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
I've created 117 articles so far, all of which are live. I mostly write on topics related to history, architecture, and caves. Thanks for considering my request. Jesus isGreat7 ☾⋆ | Ping Me 08:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I'd like to help with the backlog and be able to streamline my reviewing with the curation toolbar. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 15:48, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
I am interested in helping to eliminate the backlog, particularly for articles involving Chinese, Japanese, or Korean-language sources—languages I am familiar with—that often remain stuck for long periods due to language barriers. I have experience at AFD and AFC, and while the P&G vary across Wikiprojects, I have served as an NPP on zhwiki for four years. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 08:57, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I am active with cleaning up disambiguation pages, which are often malplaced. Almost all of my RMTR requests end up smoothly going through, and I have had several RMs that I knew had consensus and would have closed, if I could. I believe I have demonstrated good judgement in RM discussions, and will use the permissions to improve the encyclopedia. Thanks. Ivey (talk - contribs) 16:44, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting page mover rights I have several yrs of experience in wiki creating pages n expanding stubs as well as streamline existing ones. i fulfill all requirements for this right. i request to be granted this right. 07:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC) Bonadart (talk) 07:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
While volunteering WP:UAA I find creations that should be in draftspace instead of userspace. Thus, I move using a script that requires additional steps to make a soft-redirect after moving from sandboxes/userspaces. See the log here. I kindly request this flag as it will help me to avoid leaving an unnecessary redirect as discussed at User_talk:Agent_VII#About_your_move. I also intent to use this tool if granted for WP:PMRC#3, WP:PMRC#7 when going through Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 09:58, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Experienced editor with nearly 100,000 edits over ten years (and over 15 years of experience on the German Wikipedia). I am an active contributor at RM:TR, regularly submitting requests and attentively following each move process. All of my requests have reflected consensus and none have ever been contested, to my knowledge. In addition to filing requests, I have also performed several moves myself. I am kindly requesting the page mover right and hope to contribute at RM:TR when time permits and where my expertise is of use. Thank you for your consideration. Lk95 (talk) 16:04, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I’d like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I’ve been active for over a month now and have made 700+ edits, mostly focused on improving article tone, adding reliable sources, fixing formatting issues, and cleaning up drafts. I’ve created and improved a number of articles, particularly in biographical and cultural topics. I’m familiar with key policies like WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:COPYVIO, and I aim to contribute more to content maintenance through reviewing edits on protected pages. I’m careful with sourcing and would use reviewer tools with that same level of care. Cognifex (talk • contribs) 11:39, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
I believe I fulfill all of the criteria for gaining permission. I have a pretty long history of editing, and I am trying to step up my editing game! I am trying to branch out in what I do so although this backlog isn't heavy, I would like to help out. Coulomb1 (talk) 01:38, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
I am requesting rollback in order to better fight vandalism. This is my second request attempt, with my first being over a year ago; it was rejected because my work patrolling recent changes was deemed too sporadic. Despite my patrolling of recent changes admittedly still being somewhat sporadic, I have come across two separate instances when having rollback rights would have allowed me to better contribute to the project (here and here). I consistently make sure to notify editors when reverting their edits, and I feel that I have a good track record when it comes to identifying vandalism in order to use rollback rights responsibly. Thanks. Leafy46 (talk) 05:00, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
Hi - I've been patrolling the edit filter log for a few months and have had a few problems recently with the log occasionally disallowing Twinkle rollbacks, especially on unreferenced numeric changes. Am requesting MediaWiki rollback rights to avoid this in future. Thanks. Epsilon.Prota talk 22:24, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
Former admin, lost my mop for inactivity. I'm trying to get active again, and since I spend a lot of time doing CV work, rollback would be helpful. –Darkwind (talk) 12:34, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
I’ve spent the last few days patrolling the edit log and reverting vandalism manually, but now I would like to use learn to use tools like Anti-Vandal and Twinkle instead of just manually doing it myself. GiraffeLover19 (talk) 14:31, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
For the last 6 months I have been working on vandalism through recent changes and by also viewing the abuse log. I've encountered some situations that I have cleaned up that having the rollback permission would have saved a tremendous amount of time I believe that I meet all the requirements outlined to receive the permission, and by receiving the permission it would allow me to contribute to the great cause of keeping Wikipedia free from vandalism.
