Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
---|---|---|
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.
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here |

- Consider the edit warring noticeboard – This is a case of possible edit-warring by one or two users. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:12, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Zero Hedge
Temporary pending changes: Persistent disruptive editing. — Newslinger talk 10:43, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Favonian (talk) 17:38, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Positions (song)
Temporary semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 11:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Jonah Shacknai
Indefinite semi-protection: BLP policy violations – Persistent BLP violations suggesting the subject took part in the deaths of his gf and son when subject specifically was not present at the time of either. This is a longstanding issue with both this and the Death of Rebecca Zahau. Closing admin, please look at recent edits by IP and scrub their additions if you would. Thanks. Koncorde (talk) 12:16, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Vijayadashami

Hristo Batandzhiev
Indefinite pending changes: Persistent vandalism – Vandalized by anon ips that are changing the nationality without adding sources or discussing at talk. StoyanStoyanov80 (talk) 14:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Andon Dimitrov
Indefinite pending changes: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Vandalized by anon ips that are changing the nationality without adding sources or discussing at talk. StoyanStoyanov80 (talk) 14:09, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Jeffrey Toobin
Semi-protection: Subject has recently been in the news for less than flattering reasons, attracting high level of vandalism by IPs and SPAs. Banana Republic (talk) 14:12, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 2 weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 17:12, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Stephen Martines
Semi-protection: Pertinent and cited information again removed after protection request was declined yesterday. Usefamin (talk) 14:25, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
- For "pertinent and cited" read "contentious from a WP:BLP perspective". The text that was added contained a number of statements that weren't supported by the sources given, so it was edited accordingly. That isn't disruption requiring article protection. This request looks like an attempt to gain the upper hand in a WP:CONTENTDISPUTE and should be declined. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 17:37, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Salman Khan filmography
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Check edit history of this FL, full of add, remove, restore. Temporary semi-protection might give a full stop. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣✅ 15:04, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

- Already protected by administrator Acroterion. Favonian (talk) 17:06, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.

january 20
The article is simultaneously semi-protected as well as pending protected, both with indefinite deadlines. I thought there should be only one type of edit-protection, if not one indefinite and the other time-based like the page kate Ryan.102.159.242.79 (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding Kate Ryan, I have removed the semi-protection as that was what was intended.@Deb: Would you be open to removing the semi-protection here and seeing how it fares under pending-changes? It has been five-and-a-half years since your protection. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page
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
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)

Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.
