I was also going to file this request. There are multiple talk page discussions on how to handle this situation and material, which even extended confirmed editors are ignoring and have nearly edit warred over this leaked material. Requesting a longer timed ECP. I do not think autoconfirmed is sufficient for the high traffic this article already receives, which is only inevitably going to increase and become more problematic given the nature of this article and subject. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 04:52, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Before posting a request for unprotection, please discuss it with the protecting administrator first. You can create a request below only if you receive no response from them.
To find out which administrator protected the page, go to the page's edit history and click on the "View logs for this page" link (located underneath the page's title). The protecting administrator is listed in the protection log entry, next to the words "protected", "changed protection level", or "configured pending changes". If there are a large number of log entries on the page, use the drop-down menu near the top of the page and select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" to filter the logs accordingly.
DO NOT request a reduction in protection if...
...you are being prevented from editing the page. A desire to change content is not a valid reason for unprotection. Instead:
If you can edit the article's talk page, use the WP:Edit Request Wizard to propose a change on the article's talk page. Include an explanation of the exact content that you want to change, and what the content will be afterward.
...your reasoning for reducing protection is that the article has not been vandalized. That simply means the protection is working as intended.
...your reasoning for reducing protection is basically "a long time has passed" without supporting details.
...you haven't contacted the protecting administrator.
You may request a protection reduction below if...
...you want to change the protection level of a template or module from full protection to template protection. You may add the request to this page without having to discuss it with the protecting administrator first.
...you need to remove creation protection from a location where no page exists (redlinked pages) after a draft version of the intended article is prepared beforehand and ready to be published.
...you are proposing a trial reduction in protection for a page that has been protected for several years, provided the proposal is supported by evidence such as talk page activity, page views, page traffic, number of watchers, frequency of edit requests, and prior history of vandalism.
...the protecting administrator is inactive or has not responded to you in several days.
If you cannot locate your request, make sure to check the request archives to see if it's been moved there. Only requests that have been recently answered will still be listed here.

Reason: The page has been semi-protected for 6 years. I believe a trial unprotection may be in order, as it seems unlikely that the page will be vandalised. Yes I am a nerd -XCBRO172 (How could you tell?) 04:31, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Request a specific edit be made to a protected page Please add an edit request to the talk page of the protected page before adding an edit request here
Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from adding a request there.
You may add the appropriate template ({{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page.
This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit that you wish to be performed.
Otherwise, this is the correct place to use in order to add an edit request if you are unable to add one to the article's talk page. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to properly add a request.
Sorry to be another peanut in the gallery here but the international response section is a real word salad. Could something like the following work?
"The attack gained international attention, and was responded to by numerous international leaders and representatives who condemned the attack. This included statements from leaders such the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, and the United States of America President Donald Trump."
I would argue that these three countries + Israel are currently the only relevant countries to this current discussion due to long-standing geopolitical alliances, and Australia being part of the Commonwealth. Random American senators or another country’s ambassador (not to Australia) is unnecessary.

Hello, I'd like to request autopatrolled rights, seeing as I've made 32 mainspace articles, none of which are stubs (I do not rate my own created pages). Thus far, I've focused on creating pages related to music, most of which pertain to WP:Albums. Thanks, Fundgy (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Quick note about Rough Trade Records soundtracks. That was meant to be a category but I forgot to add "Category:" in front, so I requested its deletion myself. Fundgy (talk) 06:17, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
Hello! I was recently recommended by Aszx5000 on my talk page to apply for Autopatrolled permission. I have made about 6,700 edits and authored 88 articles and counting, which I always aim to publish at C or B class quality. I believe I have a strong understanding of relevant policy which I'm always striving to improve, and am always open to feedback and correction. Cheers! Johnson524 07:19, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
I've noticed B33tle's profilic creation of species-related pages (over 500 in the past 2 weeks), particularly beetle related pages. All of these seem excellent, and I have no doubts B33tle will do well with this permission (while also reducing the load on new page reviewers). All their contributions have been in line with the recent village pump discussion regarding their mass edits (3+ reliable sources, limiting to ~100 per day, following up with discussions on talk page), further bolstering my confidence in them. I'd also encourage them to consider Auto Wiki Browser permissions, if it would benefit them. Signed, Guessitsavis (she/they) Talk 13:24, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
@B33tleMania12; I want your input here since you have community consensus to create beetle articles at a rate much higher that WAID gave very good guidance to not create at that rate with the Autopatrolled flag. I see your talk page message that you like still being patrolled but wouldn't mind patrolled if NPPers want it to happen, but I also know you're enjoying your beetle creation at the rate that VPP allowed.
Note to other admins; B33tleMania had a CCI request in October that I subsequently declined for a lack of systemic issues. I do not believe that the copyright concerns raised should impact AP consideration as B33tleMania has been very receptive to feedback and has not had any issues since. I know that ignoring copyright concerns in the last 6 months for AP is a bit IAR around perms, so I also won't be offended if an admin decides to not grant on that ground. B33tleMania is a great editor either way. :) Sennecaster (Chat) 06:24, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
Well if it means I cant add at an increased rate, I rather not be autopatrolled to be honest. Also: its a bit of a strange thing: if I am granted the autopatrolled, I am not allowed to create at that pace anymore, making it not that much of an issue to patrol my articles, since the numbers will go down dramatically :) B33tleMania12 (talk) 11:46, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
@B33tleMania12; I don't think you having AP and the consensus to create beetles at a fast rate is contradictory, but I can see how WAID's words could be taken that way - I misread that discussion myself! Feel free to disregard me there, and apologies for the confusion :) I think the risk here is low and the benefit to NPP is high, personally, so Done. Sennecaster (Chat) 02:07, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
Ok, in that case I am totally fine with the autopatrol. I will keep making articles in the same manner. Thank you all! B33tleMania12 (talk) 14:07, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
I have made about 25 articles or so and I believe the articles I make are of a pretty high quality since all get reviewed at some point and have never been AfD'd. Nearly two months ago, I was recommended for this permission by an editor with the NPP permission who stated, "Since you appear trustworthy as an editor seems you may be in the running for autopatrolled rights any week/month from now."[1] I also believe granting me this permission will reduce the backlog for NPP permission holders since my pages will not appear on their backlog for them to need to review.

@Gjb0zWxOb: Administrators who grant autopatrolled are typically looking for assurance that the nominee can edit independently and without oversight from new pages patrol. Could you comment on why you were blocked from mainspace earlier this year and what, if anything, you've changed about your editing since being unblocked? (Non-administrator comment) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:52, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
Yes, I was temporarily blocked for not having edit summaries that were descriptive enough and for not being responsive on my talk page in a couple of instances. Since then, my edit summaries are a lot more descriptive and I respond to every inquiry on my talkpage. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
I do not think that OCEAN (Bitcoin mining pool) is notable. The sources are PR/churnalism/routine coverage. However, that was six months ago. (I saw this article when it was newly created but didn't do anything for some reason.) (Non-administrator comment) Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:11, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, @Gjb0zWxOb! I agree with @Helpful Raccoon, many of your articles, for example Regulation of cryptocurrency include quite heavy use of unreliable sources like WP:FORBESCON, which completely lack any editorial oversight. You've also had some of your articles nominated for deletion recently. I'm not an administrator, so my opinion really doesn't have any weight here, however AP is given to editors whose articles don't require any action from new page reviewers (such as myself). Definitely carry on creating articles, as on the whole, you definitely have the correct neutral writing style! Happy editing! 11WB (talk) 03:16, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
Not done, I'm not comfortable at this time with granting AP looking at your recent creations. Your latest creation is up at AFD which imo is a pretty instant disqualifier. I do recognize that the areas that you are editing are tough to get right, but that implies that having other folks provide a 2O on your creations will be a good thing for the time being. Sohom (talk) 08:25, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
Hello there! I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have read and understood WP:APCRITERIA, and have understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, inter alia, biographies of living persons, copyright, verifiability, and notability. In recent months, I have become more prolific in article creation and have been careful to ensure that my work meets content and sourcing standards. I have five successful DYK nominations, which shows my familiarity with quality requirements and review processes. Thank you. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 08:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

My name is The Knowledge Pirate. I was previously known as Scorpions13256, and Scorpions1325. Since I created my first account in 2010, I have created 77 active articles. None have been deleted, and I have not had any issues brought to my attention about my articles since I started editing with this account. I have 7 DYK's, but no GA or FA's. Other articles include Mamie Colvin, Turner County High School, and Nettie Johnson. I understand WP:GNG and WP:BLP better than I did when I became more prolific in 2020, and I think getting this right will save reviewers a lot of work. Once I am done with a long-term project, I intend to create a lot more articles. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 20:32, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a trial NPP and AFC reviewer and doing new page patrol requires moving some articles to draft for better improvements as they're not suitable in the main space, it will be more better if I can move articles without leaving redirects.
This right would also be helpful for when I close RMs so that I don't need to request the move be performed at WP:RM/TR afterwards, as well as potentially helping out with moves there myself. Destinyokhiria💬 21:59, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
