Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Months of persistent dynamic IP WP:LTA WP:BLOCKEVASION. — MarkH21talk 07:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Entranced98 (talk) 07:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 08:11, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. TheWikiholic (talk) 10:16, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent string of IP vandalism at play here. Amigao (talk) 10:31, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent IP vandalism. Koshuri (グ) 10:32, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 years, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 16:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent unreferenced edits. Hotwiki (talk) 13:25, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Constant additions of unverifiable facts to article by IP editors. Roasted (talk) 13:50, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent WP:NOTFORUM violations since 01:07, 8 December 2024, which is almost the entire edit history of this talk page. Alith Anar 14:10, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Contentious, unsourced/poorly sourced content added by IP editors and new accounts. Page is a biography of a recently deceased person (death date November 26, 2024). Said editors change the entry to say that he was murdered, or shot twice etc.. Page has fewer than 30 watchers, and was pending changes protected until recently when the protection expired. Wikiuser815 (talk) 14:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Edit warring by multiple IPs over flags in the infobox Wowzers122 (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. Thegreatrebellion (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: 218.208.8.0/24 (talk · contribs). One-month partial block from the articles in question. Favonian (talk) 16:56, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Edit warring by multiple IPs over flags in the infobox Wowzers122 (talk) 14:58, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Already protected by administrator Izno. Favonian (talk) 17:00, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: While the frequency of edits to this page is low, it appears that a controversial 2023 incident involving this living person means IP edits are being made attempting to remove mention of the incident to protect the subject's reputation (despite no source problems) or reframe the issue in favour of one party or another in the dispute. In the former case I'd hazard that the first-name reference to the article's subject in the edit message is an indication of a personal connection.

I think long-term semi-protection of this article would be appropriate. Daphne Preston-Kendal (talk) 15:07, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: There has been a consistent pattern of disruptive editing, including numerous unsourced edits and bad-faith changes coming from multiple IP addresses and newly registered accounts. The level of disruption is affecting the quality and reliability of the article, and reverting the edits is becoming increasingly difficult. A higher level of protection would help maintain the integrity of the page. Morekar (talk) 15:22, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

  • Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 15:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Increase to Extended Confirmed, at least temporarily, due to a swath of throwaways being created to insert comments like "Terrorist Army" by Indian nationalists, due to recent events. WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 16:23, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Not done Insufficient disruption. However, did add editnotice and talk page notice for ARBIPA. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:14, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent vandalism — The article is being repeatedly edited with false information regarding the band's drummer, changing his name from the correct "Peter Ellard" to "James Rowlands." This has occurred multiple times from anonymous and unregistered users. Requesting semi-protection to prevent further disruptive edits. Caperock1 (talk) 16:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Note: Corrected capitalization – the request clearly concerns the band, not girlguiding. Favonian (talk) 17:05, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The most recent disruptive edit (Special:Diff/1283471575) occurred 26 days ago. Suggest that you leave a note on the IP's talk page. Favonian (talk) 17:11, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: IP vandalism. Page is a target for sockpuppet account edits 90.131.47.67 (talk) 16:55, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 17:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Reason: This article has been semi-protected due to vandalism for 11 years, so it would be unprotected afterwards. 2803:C600:8101:9EC4:2461:6BB1:FD03:F36D (talk) 04:20, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

This is not a logical conclusion, no. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Practically every request for this article to be edited/unprotected has come from a IP sockpuppet. I imagine this is more of the same. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

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

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.


The textbox, in [f]. change "US intelligence estimate: 10,000–15,000 militants (as of January 2025)" to "US intelligence estimate: Hamas reduced to 9,000–12,000 militants (as of June 2024)"

reason: The current claim relies on an article by The Print that says " The Palestinian militant group Hamas has recruited between 10,000 and 15,000 members since the start of its war with Israel" (emphasis on recruited, not killed) The Reuters article https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/diminished-hamas-switches-full-insurgent-mode-gaza-2024-06-06/ claims "The enclave's ruling group has been reduced to between 9,000 and 12,000 fighters, according to three senior U.S. officials familiar with battlefield developments, down from American estimates of 20,000-25,000 before the conflict. By contrast, Israel says it has lost almost 300 troops in the Gaza campaign" Therefore, it will be best to either subtract the two ranges (which was rejected before) or claim that Hamas has been reduced to 9000-12000 members, as written in the article. It is also possible to write "US intelligence estimate: Hamas reduced from 20,000-25,000 to 9,000–12,000 militants (as of June 2024)" just as written in the article, but that might be too long Stone fridge (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
