    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent IP disruption – this page had been temporality semi-protected before, but this did not solve the problem, and thus the non-constructive edits have since continued. SleepDeprivedGinger (talk) 12:31, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rimini, Montana

    Reason: Rimini, Montana, Rimini, South Carolina and Uceta Yard are infrequently but persistently vandalized by User:Vicinijose, a user in the Dominican Republic who insists that these obscure places were founded by a renowned railroad engineer from the Vicini family of whom no evidence seems to exist. Pending changes status requested. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:928:AD00:C590:26B8 (talk) 16:21, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The infrequency with which this vandalism occurs makes protection impossible. By my count, it appears to occur once every 8-10 months. To abate even one instance of vandalism, therefore, we'd have to apply something like 12 months of page protection. Preventing non-autoconfirmed users from contributing to these articles for months or years just to stop the possibility that an IP editor might vandalize an article once or twice in that time would be inconsistent with our ethos. However, if the cadence of vandalism increases, please do come back to request protection again as a different calculus might then apply. Chetsford (talk) 19:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing of Droop quota, instant-runoff voting, single transferable vote, counting single transferable votes, and electoral quota by a series of IPs. IPs do not belong to a single range that could be excluded by a range block, but all appear to be the same person. IP often introduces mistakes, typos, unsourced content, confusing or unclear wording that breaks up the flow of the text, and external links into the body of the article (prohibited by MOS). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Requesting semi-protection 'til election day for persistent subtle IP vandalism. Over a dozen instances of changing the election ratings on this page, all from IP users (likely the same user?). It doesn't show signs of stopping, and will likely subside after November 5th.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    User:Caulde/u

    Reason: This blocked editor is no longer an administrator; I don't see a reason for full protection. I would like to be able to fix the half-dozen Linter syntax errors on the page. Some level of protection below full is fine with me. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:28, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    Gaza genocide

    My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:

    "She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"

    1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.

    Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.

    2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @FortunateSons: A quick browse shows at least for the first part support for removal, can you add any additional incite? -- Cdjp1 (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've removed #2. But there does seem to be evidence that pro-Palestine protests have been banned in parts of Germany at times.[2][3][4].VR (Please ping on reply) 14:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. Maybe the following article gives a bit more clarity.[[5]] Gilbert04 (talk) 18:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Unfortunately that source seems incomplete. Germany has indeed suppressed peaceful criticism of Israel.[6] And Washington Post says "A planned photo exhibit in southwestern Germany was canceled as a result of social media posts by its curator, including one describing “genocide” in Gaza."[7] VR (Please ping on reply) 22:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I do not think that any source will ever be complete. Let me add two more.[[8]][[9]] Gilbert04 (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gaza genocide

    Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
    My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
    If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ecco2kstan, how about: "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations. Supporters of Israel say that accusing Israel of genocide is both antisemitic[10][11] and a form of Holocaust erasure[12], but others argue antisemitism shouldn't be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations.[13][14][15][16]".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not as familiar with the Holocaust erasure claims, but I'm happy with that reworking! If that weaponization of Holocaust denial detail isn't on the weaponization of antisemitism page already, it might be a worthwhile phenomenon incorporate if there's more citations you can find. I might look into it myself. Thanks! Ecco2kstan (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That does sound quite balanced. +1 from me. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Yahya Sinwar

    Change infobox location of death.

    Old: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestine"

    New: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip"

    This would reflect the convention for other similar pages for recently assassinated Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip, such as Ayman Nofal, Jamila Abdallah Taha al-Shanti, Marwan Issa etc. The status of Gaza Strip as part of the State of Palestine, or as part of the autonomous Palestinian Territories (with the State of Palestine not recognized by most Western or OECD countries), is contentious (it does have limited observer state status in the UN). See International recognition of the State of Palestine. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 17:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    Inform readers of the distinction between the dagger symbol and the cross symbol in the infobox.

    Under "Commanders and leaders" in the infobox Yahya Sinwar has a dagger next to his name, but others such as Marwan Issa have a cross next to their name. The distinction between these symbols is not immediately clear to someone reading the article, I feel that this should be explicitly noted on the page.
