- I think it's a clever username, actually. It reminds me of the fictional "Fudpucker World Airlines" from the 1980s, for which one still occasionally sees merchandise available on eBay. You don't want to switch the F and the P. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:10, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like it inspired a real-world restaurant.
Fudpucker's is dedicated to our favorite "F" words: Food, Fun and Family.

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.
Temporary full protection: Repeatedly recreated by well-meaning users despite AfD consensus for it to be a redirect until the election. Full protection could be a good way to avoid people wasting time on recreating the article before a consensus is established for notability. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined A good thought, but doesn't meet the very high bar for imposing full protection. GoodnightmushTalk 18:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Serious edit war. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
User(s) blocked. GoodnightmushTalk 17:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Declined I don't see any evidence of an edit war here. GoodnightmushTalk 18:01, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. C F A 💬 19:09, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined for now. There's some engagement on the talk page now, so hoping this won't require admin intervention. If it does, probably can start with a block, not protection. GoodnightmushTalk 19:33, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. GSK (talk • edits) 20:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Ymblanter (talk) 20:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Incredibly high level of vandalism, misinformation, or just bad edits. Not a week goes by without someone either adding "pro-Russian" in the infobox, removing Euroscepticism and replacing it with pro-Europeanism, or vandalizing the article by calling the party a "Russian Dream" or its founder "Borys Ivanishvili". I think this easily warrants extended confirmed protection as it is a very contentious article about a very controversial party and protection will save it from being stuck for hours with vandalism until someone notices and reverts. Zlad! (talk) 20:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended confirmed protection: BLP policy violations – Page is being vandalized/inflammatory content added again by IPs. Paris1127 (talk) 20:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Temporary pending changes: BLP policy violations – IPs making unhelpful edits to the page of a public figure. Pending would allow helpful edits through while restricting gossip/vandalism. Paris1127 (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Per WP:ARBPIA. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁=☁=✈) 20:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

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]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]
Been on Wikipedia for a few years now. Mainly created BLPs. Requesting for autopatrolled rights to reduce the backlog of new page patrollers. I declare that I've understood verifiability, notability and copyrights. SerChevalerie (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I have been an editor since 2020, but only really started ramping up my edits in February of this year. I have made 320+ pages (at least 4 of them are from redirects), 166+ of which have been in the last 6 days (as of August 29). Another user (Ryan shell) suggested that I should apply. The only major issue that my articles have had in the past was me using AI, which I have acknowledged was wrong and promised not to do it again to an administrator, who worked with me on how to properly find info for articles without using AI. Most of my articles are stubs, and I feel like they can clog up the New Pages Feed a bit. Since I know this will be brought up, of the 4 pages I have started that have been deleted, one was an April Fools joke page that I didn't realize wasn't allowed, one was from an AfD, and the other two are from the above AI issue.

New page reviewer[edit]
Had a former request, which was sent to the two-month trial. Since the two months recently ended, I wanted to ask for an extension. My account passes all the guidelines, and I reviewed many articles.
Wanting to participate in the September reviewing backlog drive. Have reviewed pages in the past but believe I lost the right due to inactivity for a few years. Have a solid civility record and good knowledge of all the relevant guidelines/policies. StewdioMACK (talk) 10:05, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Not planning to get super into reviewing, but when I come across solid unindexed articles it would be helpful to be able to push them along. Thanks. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 03:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I made a request about a month ago but later declined, I spent more time at the AfD now and even become an AfC probational reviewer. I want to help and participate with the September backlog drive. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 04:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to apply for NPR for the September backlog drive. I meet the 500 mainspace editd, and have some experience in the field. I am also a Pending Changes Reviewer and Rollbacker. Thanks for considering me. Lordseriouspig 13:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I have been editing for a few years, and have created multiple new articles. I have some experience in AfC and AfD, mainly comments and discussion with a couple of nominations. I am familiar with WP policies, and am willing to learn when I need to improve. I am looking to to learn more and help with anyplace I can. Demt1298 (talk) 17:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I would like to participate in the September 2024 Backlog Drive. I registered myself there but it appears that I have to be a Page reviewer in order to participate. Can you please grant me this right for not a limited time? I have had it a while ago for a limited time. You can also review the articles that I've created. Thank you in advance for considering this request! Typical Albanian (talk) 14:58, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
I would like to help reduce the backlog of new pages. In my time of editing I have created and deleted several articles, making me familiar with the guidelines of notability. Particularly, I could help with STEM articles, as well as general-knowledge. Niashervin (talk) 15:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
I would like to participate in the September backlog drive. I have some experience with deletion processes and AfC. I always try to be polite and helpful in my interactions. I have never edited where I have a conflict of interest, and I commit to keeping that practice. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello there. I hope to help in the the September New Pages Patrol. I have been on Wikipedia since 2010 and am well acquainted with the Wiki guidelines, though I know I am continuing to learn how to be a better contributor. I have created 43 live main articles and have made 3,989 total contributions across Wikimedia. I enjoy enforcing WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NPOV among others, and assisting Wikipedia's coverage of a variety of topics. I am particularly interested in the topics of local cultural food, small towns, and American biographies. I hope I may assist in the New Page Patrol and appreciate the opportunity to help.

Hi, requesting permission as I'd like to help with the September 2024 New Page Patrol Backlog Drive, thank you. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 14:57, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
I'm interested in participating in the September reviewing backlog drive. This would be my first time reviewing new pages, but I have solid experience with article creation/improvement and strong familiarity with notability guidelines (48 articles created, 18 GAs and one FA). Hoping to pick up new skills and help reduce the backlog! Alanna the Brave (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
I was a page reviewer in the past and reviewed many pages. I lost the permission when I was banned for a reason unrelated to my permissions as a page reviewer. Now that I am unbanned, I would like to request that the permission be granted back so I can continue to review pages. Thanks! EytanMelech (talk) 16:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I want to help with the renaming of various LGBTQ child pages as a result follow-up to the main article LGBTQ now being LGBTQ as a result of the concluded Talk:LGBTQ#Requested move 14 August 2024 discussion that I initiated. Most of the child pages all have existing redirects that need to be page swapped and many are not just 1-iteration, so need to WP:ROUNDROBIN swapped, for which Page Mover permissions are required. I am aware of the policies around page moving and will respect the permissions as such. Raladic (talk) 16:43, 27 August 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.
