  Note: User is in the category: User talk pages with conflict of interest notices. HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk) 17:59, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

  Not a blatant violation of the username policy. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. The way they formatted the name makes it clear it represents an individual. Their editing msy be problematic, but the username is compliant with policy. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 18:37, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

  Wait until the user edits. You've made two errors here, reporting the name of a user that has not edited, and also warning them for a username violation, and then reporting them here to be blocked. Do one or the other, not both at the same timer, and don't do either based on specualtion about a username with no edits. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 18:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]

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.

Trillion dollar club (macroeconomics)[edit]

• Trillion dollar club (macroeconomics) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Nearly all edits on this article this month have been to counteract the IP editors who have repeatedly added, or have replaced well established Trillion dollar countries (eg USA, Japan) with, Pakistan, a country that has never gotten anywhere close to 1 Trillion GDP according to the this article's main source (#3), with source 4 on Economy of Pakistan, and any basic web search for "current GDP of Pakistan". For a moment I thought it was possible that the IPs were confusing PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) with GDP, as Pakistan's PPP is 1.57 trillion (2023 est), BUT that is not how this article is presenting the data, or how the other entries are calculated, and the flat out replacement of the USA with Pakistan does not allow any good faith assumptions for any possible PPP/GDP confusion.

Changpeng Zhao[edit]

• Changpeng Zhao (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: There is an ongoing edit war regarding the nationality of Changpeng Zhao. Users keep removing "Chinese" from being listed in the nationality section of his page. A source is provided that verifies he was born in China and resided in China. The page states numerous times that he was born in China and resided in China, but despite this the nationality information keeps being removed.

National Council of Canadian Muslims[edit]

• National Council of Canadian Muslims (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: User "Chichifat" has engaged in multiple incidents of vandalism of this page with misleading and inaccurate claims that obviously violate NPOV requirements. There are multiple false claims that are continuously posted by repeatedly undoing content that abides by neutrality requirements.

The vandalism has also removed a vast amount of objectively-sourced information about this organization and its work in Canada.

Please see the Article's talk page for further information. Kindly request that this article be protected due to multiple vandalism incidents by this User "Chichifat" starting April 16, 2024.

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

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.

Talk:Israel-Hamas war[edit]

• Talk:Israel-Hamas war (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Deji Olatunji[edit]

• Deji Olatunji (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Please replace ((R from relative)) with:

((Redirect category shell|
((R from relative))
((R to anchor))
((R avoided double redirect|ComedyShortsGamer))
((R from personal name))
))

((DEFAULTSORT:Olatunji, Deji))

As a side note, please could this redirect's talk page also be created with ((talk page of redirect))? I was going to make this request there, but couldn't as it matches an entry on the title blacklist. All the best :) ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 21:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

It looks like MusikBot has added ((pp|small=yes)) below the redirect - please remove this when adding the wikitext above, as ((Redirect category shell)) auto-detects the current protection level. All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 21:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right.

I have created 77 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey, @Schwede66: I've done everything you have suggested me do here, and followed the edit summary instructions you've given such as default sorting my previous articles, fixing PP and P in citations, using SFN template and using Book or Journal templates in Bibliography, etc. I've also created half a dozen new articles as per your suggestion, and I believe they are unproblematic.
