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.


Saudi Arabia[edit]

Arbitration Enforcement: Raise to Extended-Confirmed Protection because this article is related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. How is it that Israel-Saudi Arabia relations is Extended-Confirmed protected, but the article on Saudi Arabia is not? Especially considering the Normalization that was supposed to take place, between These two countries before October 7th. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 04:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. And your request answers your own question. Normalization is/was much more germane to the relations article than the article about the country as a whole. Daniel Case (talk) 20:13, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources[edit]

Reason: Indef protection from non-ECU: Due to the list containing sources heavily involved in the Israel-Palestinian conflicts which is a magnet of vandalism by non-ECU. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 05:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. I see in the recent history some reverts recently. None of them are related to the current conflict; they appear to arise from legitimate discussions about particular sources' assessments or inclusions on the page (a page that gets viewed quite a bit for one not in article space).

I would only protect this page in a situation like the one two years which led to the only protection in the page history: where connected third-party actors are engaging in a concerted effort to alter our judgement on a source without any discussion here. Daniel Case (talk) 20:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Fiona Muir-Harvey[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. --Another Believer (Talk) 14:52, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. It's a few days old and the issue raised seems to me to be a legitimate point. Daniel Case (talk) 21:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Imagine Dragons[edit]

Reason: Persistent sockpuppetry. One person keeps creating new accounts to make unsourced edits to the band members section. They make the same edits with the same edit summaries. They have been doing this for years starting out on the Killers. Blocking them does nothing because they just create a new account. Bowling is life (talk) 17:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Contentious topic restriction. same reason as above Dell Latitude E6400 (talk) 17:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Srebrenica massacre[edit]

Reason: Hello. Considering that there already has been some IP disruption and since I expect the disruption to continue in light of UN's recognition of 11 July as International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica, I think it's time to protect the article. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:30, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Mughal Empire[edit]

Reason: Constant edit warring, particularly by user Malik-Al-Hind, but by IP users as well. The former user fails to stop reinstating edits which, on the talk page, (see Discussion 1 and Discussion 2) there have been discussions against adding such edits. I plan to start an RfC soon, and until that is over there should be full protection until any disputes have been settled, as was recently done on the Gupta Empire article when there was edit warring there. The current consensus reversion, as I recently restored to, is 1225352800. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Since the article is already indefinitely semi-protected, as you might expect from one so close to the center of what makes a contentious topic area contentious, I ask you for clarification on what protection options you would like. Going to extended-confirmed protection wouldn't keep MaH from editing, as they already have that user right. If edit warring is the problem, perhaps we should go to ECP and 1RR ... I don't think anybody would question that on this article. What do you think? Daniel Case (talk) 22:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
I said in my above comment there should be full protection, which I think is appropriate temporarily until all disputes (the inclusion of "Hindustan" in the lead and the inclusion of "Indo-Muslim" in the lead) can be settled. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
OK, I see you asked for full protection, but the way you want it would require doing it indefinitely, and we just don't full-protect articles indefinitely. And frankly, looking at the article history the problems go back longer than the current dispute. I'm thinking more and more that ECP/1RR, under CTOPS authority, is the best option. Daniel Case (talk) 22:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
That seems fine, I'll open two RfCs on the mentioned issues once that is added. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 22:21, 23 May 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.

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]

Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215. ConDissenter (talk) 21:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Is there another place to request this change? The talk page for Israel-Hamas war is restricted as well. The current source for casualty data is palinfo.com, which describes itself by saying it "does not lay any claim to neutrality for it blatantly sides with the oppressed Palestinian people." https://english.palinfo.com/about-us/. Recognizing that reliable sources do not need to have a neutral POV, why should we use this as a source rather than a less biased source like the United Nations? ConDissenter (talk) 18:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
@ConDissenter Please go check Talk:Israel–Hamas war for earlier discussions and to see why your request is unlikely to succeed. FYI, the lower numbers refer not to the killed overall but to the killed who have additionally been identified by name. Besides, all the numbers are sourced to Gaza MoH anyway. — kashmīrī TALK 09:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, Kashmiri. I recognize the data is all coming from the same place. (I've tried to access but can't find a reliable site for the Gaza Health Ministry to find the data directly, so I assume the UN is accurately presenting the data.) I agree it hasn't changed the total number killed which is why I didn't suggest a change to that -- beyond fixing the "more than" to "nearly" 35,000. But I don't see any basis for keeping outdated numbers on women and children. The old ratio was 72% and the new ratio was 52%. The talk page suggests we need to wait for more RS, but at this point there are plenty:
https://www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1251265727/un-gaza-death-toll-women-children
https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/13/middleeast/death-toll-gaza-fatalities-un-intl-latam/index.html
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-women-children-death-toll-1.7203167
Is there any way to flag this for the editors of that page, even on the Talk page? ConDissenter (talk) 23:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
The text of the article has now gotten worse. It says "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women. Over 10,000 others are missing and presumed trapped under rubble." This implies either that there are 45,000 killed total, or ALL of the 25,000 identified are women and children. I've been following Talk:Israel–Hamas war on this subject and the contributors seem to be talking at loggerheads. How is this supposed to work? Now the text of the article is at odds with most RS. E.g., https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/what-we-know-about-the-death-toll-in-gaza/ar-BB1mzqUT. ConDissenter (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
