| 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 | ||

Current requests for increase in protection level
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.
Indefinite create protection: Repeatedly recreated – The article was created by an undisclosed paid editor and was draftified but it was recently moved to the main namespace by a spa after gaining the autoconfirmed status. Since it include paid edits and was created in a violation of WP:PAID this must go through the AfC process. GSS 💬 04:49, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Note: Technically it has only been recreated once, if at all, as I can find no deletions....it's more a moving back and forth from main to draftspace. PAID also doesn't forbid users to create pages or modify them, they just need to declare themselves. Lectonar (talk) 06:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Speculative portfolios without citations are being heavily added by IPs. Temporary semi protection at-least for 2 days is requested. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Doesn't look like they're being reverted. Try that first. Daniel Case (talk) 19:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent POV-pushing in the conflict who is the real Steaua. The Banner talk 16:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Today's burst and then the last one was almost a month ago. Daniel Case (talk) 19:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Reason: IPs have returned to editing the page to insert unsourced "titles" and other information to the article. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 17:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of one year, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: @Daniel Case: One or more pages in this request have not been protected.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 19:58, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Done Sorry about that. Daniel Case (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite full protection: Potentially unorthodox request here: I am requesting that this page be fully-protected. Here's the explanation: This page was originally moved to be a subpage of its proper page back in 2019-ish; however, the bot that maintains this page, Community Tech bot, rather than following the redirect to update the live page, overwrote the redirect (the page I'm asking to be fully protected) with the most recent results ... so I recently had to move the pages again (see the edit histories for this page and its target for further information.) For this reason, and in the event the bot operator may not be able to fix this error with its bot in a timely manner, I'm requesting this page be fully protected so the problem ... which occurred 5 years ago and apparently had continued to occur after that until now ... does not occur again. (For the record, I did confirm that Community Tech bot is not flagged as an administrator.) Steel1943 (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Steel1943, I think this edit to the config page should fix it, but let me know if the issue returns. (Marking as Declined for the archiving bot.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:17, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Recent surge of IP editing related to social media posts by Smosh staff asking for edits to be made to page, seems to have devolved into minor vandalism. Request temp. protection until it blows over (2 weeks or so). Rambling Rambler (talk) 19:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Just your one big revert so far today; last revert was a month or so ago. Daniel Case (talk) 19:59, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High volume of vandalism and unsourced by IPs including at least one IP hopper. Air on White (talk) 21:36, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 3 days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:24, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent IP and new user vandalism on this recent incident. Air on White (talk) 21:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Vandalized immediately after protection lifted. Air on White (talk) 21:42, 14 June 2024 (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.
Current requests for edits 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.
At present we have "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its Rafah offensive.[1]"
I suggest changing it to include a longer, semantically-complete, quotation, to read: "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.[2]"
As the Guardian article points out, and reports judges as arguing, the last comma is critical to the meaning of the ruling. Hunc (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Done - AquilaFasciata (talk | contribs) 13:09, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Actually changed to a version which does not give the same meaning as the full text. I hope that you can change:
On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's military offensive and anything "which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" must be halted."
to
On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that "Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."
The precise grammar, in particular the last comma, is critical to the meaning.
