Wikinews editors may edit any page on the site except those which have been protected in accordance with policy. Wikinews is extremely liberal as to who may edit the site: anyone with an internet connection and who is not currently blocked in accordance with Wikinews's blocking policy. However, on occasion a user may lose the trust of the community, and the community may choose to remove the privilege of editing here.

This page hosts both requests for removal of editing privileges (de-editing) and requests for restoration of editing privileges. These requests are archived for historical reference.

 * Requests should be certified before the end of the request voting period.

 * Requests for restoration of editing privileges are listed for 7 days, after which votes are tallied and discussions archived.
