I am a Wikipedia:administrator since July 5, 2004. I first contributed to Wikipedia in April of 2001 (oldest edits lost in early software upgrades). My first edit with my username appears to be on April 26. I have been active on a number of online projects - active and passive (SETI@Home, Distributed Proofreaders, Mars crater labeling, Stardust@Home, Folding@Home on the Wikipedia team: Team page, etc.)

Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam[edit]

Reason: Persistent sock puppetry by Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Srimonbanik2007. This master who has been targeting this article for several months is now using an IP range which was reported many times in the SPI to restore edits of their socks. Requesting protection for some months till the trends of the recent 2024 Indian general elections calms down. Thanks - SUN EYE 1 08:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Visa policy of Peru[edit]

Reason: Should be decreased from extended and either unprotected or made regular protection JonTheSucculentDude (talk) 00:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

That's not really a reason. Why should it be decreased? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Declined No reason for unprotection given. At need an edit request can be used; article-talk isn't protected Lectonar (talk) 10:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

2024 Indian general election in Uttarakhand[edit]

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the page needs more information which local editors know more. This page does not have any sensitive information which can be vandalised.Dr Hachi (talk) 03:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 03:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Why do you think there aren't "local editors" who can edit this? Surely there must be someone local who's autoconfirmed. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 03:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

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.

Israel-Hamas War[edit]

I would like to request that... (the map be updated to show that Israel now controls the entire Gaza-Egypt border) . LordOfWalruses (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@LordOfWalruses this is not the place. Contentious topics should not be unprotected. 48JCLTALK 12:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: Unregistered and non-extended-confirmed editors are allowed to request edits to ARBPIA pages here. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The talk page Talk:Israel-Hamas War is protected, therefore edit requests by non-extended-confirmed users land here. That is acceptable, and this request made above is reasonable. The people who actually do participate on that talk page should be reviewing requests here that remain open and haven't been declined for days. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
So basically, I shouldn’t request an edit here but I should request an edit at the talk page (and the same goes for future edit requests)? LordOfWalruses (talk) 12:40, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
@LordOfWalruses:, it is unusual for talk pages within scope of the WP:PIA remedies to be extendedconfirmed protected (). That normally only happens after a high level of disruption. You can normally submit edit requests to talk pages. Edit requests most likely to succeed are those that are 'Specific, Uncontroversial, Necessary, Sensible' per WP:EDITXY. You can also submit them here if you prefer, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think there are arguments in favor of centralizing all edit requests for WP:PIA to a single location as long as active editors add it to their watchlists (which is probably not the case right now to a large extent). Submitting edit requests to an article talk page obviously means that only a subset of the community who happen to have watch listed that particular page are likely to see it.

Israel-Hamas War[edit]

Add the 90,000 displaced Lebanese to the infobox. Under the following section: 

   1,900,000 Palestinians displaced in Gaza Strip[87]
   200,000–500,000 Israelis displaced initially,[88][89] down to 60,000 by early 2024[90]

Benjamin Netanyahu[edit]

Benzion Mileikowsky (later Netanyahu) was born in Warsaw in partitioned Poland, which was under Russian control, to Sarah (Lurie) and the writer and Zionist activist Nathan Mileikowsky.

He was not born in Tel Aviv Bnasrawi (talk) 00:34, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Benzion Mileikowsky is described in the Benjamin Netanyahu article as Warsaw-born ("Warsaw-born Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky)"). Nowhere does it say Benzion was born in Tel Aviv. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: "Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv" pretty clearly refers to Benjamin, not Benzion. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Bernard Arnault[edit]

I request that the post-nominals be added to the infobox. Similar to articles like Dalida where COAL is in the infobox. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 07:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

    "Do you want to take a survey?"[edit]

    On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.

    On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.

    Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

    Short To Do list[edit]

    Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers[edit]

    Up to Dec 16, 2003, all the edits at these anonymous id's were mine (59 edits):

    More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.

    List of most of my original pictures and some maps[edit]

    For copyright declaration purposes The following photographs and diagrams on Wikipedia were taken by and uploaded by me and released under GNU-FDL:

    • Update March 21, 2006 by searching with Interiot's Tool (no longer updated - [1] does edit counts though)

    Pictures[edit]

    Maps[edit]

    Numerous locator maps for U.S. national parks like Image:LocMap Big Bend National Park.png and Image:LocMap Tongariro National Park.png - most now replaced by dynamic map system
