Arbitration Enforcement: The article has been facing persistent vandalism by IPs and new editors, that goes back several years. The article falls under WP:CT/SA, and the vandalism specifically is WP:BLP violating in nature, wherein vandals keep adding unsourced connections between the term and its use as a derogatory attack against a living politician.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.
- If the article's talk page is protected, you may propose a change at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit.
- ...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.
Current requests for edits 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. - For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used instead of the others listed above. - 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.

Autopatrolled
I have been editing since 2020 and have over 60 articles. Since November, I have created over 17+ clean pages (see [[1]]) and helped get JM Ibarra to Good Article status. I also recently expanded six drafts by other users that were accepted through AfC. I know I had two articles that were nominated for deletion back in November, but I know better now, so I've been super careful when creating articles since then. Given my current volume of work, I think having autopatrolled rights would really help save the New Page Patrol team some time. ACROM12 [TALK] 02:04, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Request to review and fix incorrect uses of {{CURRENTISOYEAR}}. — Peterwhy (talk) 06:54, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
I would like to work on automatically clearing some of the almost 50k Category:Pages using infobox musical artist with associated acts backlog. Specifically, there are many pages that have the "associated acts" parameter listed, but no value set. I would like to build a regex that finds these instances and removes the deprecated parameter, reducing the backlog to only those pages where a value is specified and actually require editor intervention. If it matters, I have a computer science degree and have worked in software development for 20+ years. ⚙️ WidgetKid 🙈🙉🙊 05:32, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

I want to help out with the upcoming new page backlog drive. I think I have a decent CSD and AfC track record.

Pending changes reviewer
I already do a fair bit of recent changes review, and tend to look at the pending changes whenever they happen (since they have a rather noticeable highlighted bit.) It'd be convenient to be able to approve them, since I'm already looking at them. I think my edit history shows that I can recognize what is/isn't vandalism. radioactOlive(she/it)(talk) 02:07, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Rollback
I would like to request this access because I cannot revert all vandalism edits and most of the time had to leave it someone. If granted, I can actively fight against bad edits. Thanks! AlphaCore talk 11:52, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been quite active in the recent changes patrol recently, and I've been quite successful. I've notified editors after almost every revert I've made. I'd like rollback permissions to be able to use tools like AntiVandal so I can apply my anti-vandalism skills fairly but efficiently. Framl (talk) 21:46, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
Hi! I have lots of experience patrolling Recent Changes. I always warn editors when reverting their edits, vandalistic or not. I have ~7000 edits and am already an AFC/NPP and pending changes reviewer. I would like rollback to use more advanced tools like AntiVandal which require rollback when doing recent changes patrolling. If you reply here, please ping me. Thanks, thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 02:14, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights signed, Kvinnen (talk) 04:41, 29 December 2025 (UTC) Rollback would be useful for me as I am constantly patrolling recent changes to undo unhelpful edits. I would love to experiment with more efficient tools to revert unconstructive edits, see if those edit summaries (in other AV tools) are more descriptive etc. Currently, I like RedWarn for my purposes, but if better options exist, I would like to familiarize myself with those to be more productive. Thank you for your consideration. signed, Kvinnen (talk) 04:41, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
I, I use Nookipedia, request this right as it will help me fight vandalism. I can prove my history of fighting vandalism, as I always use the Recent Changes to patrol new edits as they come in. Not only that, I also warn users for vandalism, and I report users to Wikipedia:AIV for vandalism after final warning. I can deternime vandalism within seconds and revert it. Also, I review the edit filter log, and issue warnings for it. The edit filter log is useful because a vandal can make a terrible edit and get caught, and make a less bad edit and evade the edit filter. Seeing this can quickly identify vandals, so I do it. I have made a custom RC patrol setting: [7]. I have also received a message from an experienced user to request rollback, making it easier to revert bad changes. User_talk:I_use_Nookipedia#Fighting vandalism. I hope I have demonstrated my ability for this user group. Also, my account is EXTENDED CONFIRMED. 🍃 I use Nookipedia 😊 (talk page) ✈️ 17:01, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
