You could also, you know, try collaboratively editing instead of just blanking my addition to the page and then whining about it here when I put them back. I'm trying to balance the introductory section because at the moment it is very biased as well as being unreferenced. Consider that please, if you will 2A00:23EE:2418:718:B81C:E698:CC3A:8BF7 (talk) 00:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
No. You are not. You know that you are not. You are adding deeply inappropriate, non-neutral wording and then engaging in retaliatory blanking when you don't get your way. If you know enough about Wikipedia to find your way here then you know that what you are doing is wrong. In fact, that suggests prior experience which might indicate sockpuppetry. DanielRigal (talk) 00:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Please stop trying to gaslight me with your nonsense. If you were acting in good faith here then you would be attempting to collaboratively edit to improve this part of the article rather than blanking out an addition you didn't like. We both know that you are trying to keep this as a hit piece against JK Rowling, your own user page gives away your biases. Now please either work with me respectfully on this or leave this article alone and let me get on with improving it. Thank you. 2A00:23EE:2418:718:B81C:E698:CC3A:8BF7 (talk) 00:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The IP hopper who frequented these kind of pages is back. They're adding unnecessary references and reverting my constructive editing, and only they seem to be fiercely objecting to what I do. Vidpro23 (talk) 12:28, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Disruptive anonymous editing seeking to add inappropriate content and to remove longstanding settled content. DanielRigal (talk) 00:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
It's not "inappropriate content", I'm literally trying to balance up the biased lede of this article. You keep removing it rather than collaboratively editing it, so really this is your fault. Also you can't logically complain that it's unreferenced when the rest of the paragraph isn't either. I already pointed out that the references later in the article support what I wrote and I even quoted the part that I was referring to. Do better, please. 2A00:23EE:2418:718:B81C:E698:CC3A:8BF7 (talk) 00:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
No you are not. That is not balance. Clearly this is not your first rodeo on Wikipedia if you can find your way here. Have you been blocked from editing under any other account or IP? DanielRigal (talk) 00:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
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.
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: A redirect which was protected over a decade ago. Is the protection still necessary for the time being?102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:08, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment:: The redirect isn't protected. The target, however, is protected. The last time it was unprotected, it received no edits that weren't vandalism or reversion of vandalism before protection was reinstated. The time before that, it was hit 5 times in two days. Why give them the chance? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 21:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting a protection removal from the redirect only. I am not requesting an unprotection from the target page. I know what I am requesting. To be clear, I have visited the editing source of this redirect (not target) and noticed that it is limited for autoconfirmed users. Strangely enough, there isn't a clue in the protection log, except that its protection settings got moved from the target article.102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
That is odd. I'm not seeing any current protection in the log, but the message is there. Then again, what reason is there to edit this anyway? To turn it into a disambiguation page? - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Then perhaps considering the redirect a deletion if its existence in WP is worthless?102.156.71.151 (talk)
I'm not saying it's worthless. I'm saying I can't think of a reason to edit it. It's fine the way it is. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 23:35, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Also, I am just realizing, if the same title with a hyphen instead of a space isn't protected, why this one is? The title with the hyphen received no edits ever since it got converted into a redirect by buidhe back in 2018.102.156.71.151 (talk) 23:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Those articles have been indefinitely protected by a deceased user over a decade ago. Hopefully those WP:DEers are gone for good, well at least from some of the above pages.102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

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.
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.
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. — kashmīrīTALK 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:
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)

I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability.

Hey, I'm requesting Autopatrolled because I mainly make election maps and correct election maps. For a while now, I have been requesting individual files so I can override them with updated data or shape the maps. I'm very experienced in making maps and always make sure I have correct information. Would I be able to have Autopatrolled? Thank you GatewayPolitics (talk) 21:38, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

If you're referring to uploading a new version of files like in this comment then if they're on Commons then it would be handled through Commons, but either way isn't something Wikipedia:Autopatrolled on the English Wikipedia would help with in any way. - Aoidh (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Oh alright thanks for the help. GatewayPolitics (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@GatewayPolitics: Each project has its own permissions, so having autopatrolled on the English Wikipedia would not impact your ability to do anything on Wikimedia Commons and wouldn't allow you to update images there, you would need autopatrolled on Commons instead at Commons:Requests for rights. See for example Special:CentralAuth/GatewayPolitics where you have extendedconfirmed on en.wikipedia.org but not on other projects. - Aoidh (talk) 02:07, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting page mover rights: multiple reasons including to swap pages (as a result of RM discussions) and suppress redirects, especially R2 eligible. I understood that I won't abuse this privileged right and read the instructions. ToadetteEdit! 15:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
