[edit]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.)

Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Article of an extremist political party in the UK (splinter of an out and out neo-Nazi group); repreatedly targetted by party members to downlay this very fact (see Talk:Homeland Party (United Kingdom)#Ideology, including the party founder himself). Jad previously requested a PP as well but there now appears to be a renewed effort to disregard consensus by COI editors (new single-purpose accounts) who participated in the dicussion themselves in the Talk page. Asking for a midterm ECP, as I don't see the targeted disruption stopping anytime soon (going on for over an year now). Gotitbro (talk) 16:30, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Looks like it's calmed down. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:38, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IP number and regular user in an edit war. Talk page is getting acrimonious (mostly but not solely on the IP side). Erp (talk) 23:12, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Both editors notified of CTOP, re-report if it continues. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:39, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason: In the lead-up to the 2025 Philippine Senate elections scheduled for May 12, 2025, the article has been repeatedly targeted by anonymous users introducing politically motivated edits, unsourced claims, and biased language. These disruptions compromise the neutrality and reliability of the article, particularly as political campaigning intensifies and public attention increases. This request is consistent with Wikipedia’s protection policy, which permits page protection in cases of persistent vandalism or disruption during high-profile events such as national elections.[1]
The 2025 Senate race is highly competitive, with 12 seats up for election and multiple high-profile candidates generating substantial public and media interest.[2] Political discourse surrounding these candidates has already led to disinformation efforts on various platforms, which can spill into Wikipedia edits.[3]
Given these circumstances, semi-protection is requested to prevent further disruption and ensure that the article remains a stable and reliable source of information during this politically sensitive time. Enzoeditwikicom (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- this explanation sounds like it’s written with AI, so… it’s because new users keep adding unsourced candidates to the article, and keep adding Heidi to the senate slate section even though she’s not on the slate. ApexParagon (talk) 23:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.
Temporary pending changes protection: simi-protected is overkill 54rt678 (talk) 23:31, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) I'd argue protection should be increased since every edit this month has been various back and forth edit wars. If this is occurring at semi-level, I don't want to think about the instability at unprotected. This is not a calm and stable article and for that alone it should not be lowered. Zinnober9 (talk) 00:03, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Declined Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post here only if you receive no reply. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
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.

"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.

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.
