Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:03, 13 December 2019

Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.

Shortcuts WP:RFPP WP:RFP WP:RPP 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. Skip to table of contents requests to raise protection lower protection requested edits (purge) Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level Request protection Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Request a specific edit to a protected page Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit

Current requests for increase in protection level

Peep and the Big Wide World

• Peep and the Big Wide World (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Requesting long-term semi. Despite pending changes protection since May, page continues to be hit regularly by numerous IP editors changing things like episode names, years and dates, seemingly at random, with few to no legitimate edits in between. Page has a long history of previous protection, consider indefinite (as the show is long since ended)? 22:14, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent disruption by an IP. Blake Gripling (talk) 22:47, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Rui Pereira (architect)

• Rui Pereira (architect) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am requesting semi-protection. This edit, with the bullshit edit summary "Reverting clear unreferenced BLP violation", and this edit, with the bullshit edit summary "This is a serious BLP violation" were made using IP addresses used by a vile sockpuppetmaster, who has been wikistalking my contributions, for years, using IP addresses to evade an indefinite block. Geo Swan (talk) 03:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

@Geo Swan: Shouldn't the sentence "Claude Bitton, the property speculator..." that the IP removed have a reference? I would find it hard to protect to stop an IP removing an unsourced statement about an identified living person. Johnuniq (talk) 09:41, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

• Johnuniq, aren't indefinitely blocked contributors prohibited from using IP addresses for editing, even if those edits seem valid, or seem valid to a cursory inspection? Shouldn't we drop the assumption of good faith for individuals evading an indefinite block? This individual will keep making these disruptive edits, until the page is semi-protected. This individuals has used close to one hundred different IP addresses to make hundreds of pointless disruptive edits to my contributions. Semi-protection is the only way to stop them.
• If you think this particular edit has merit, you are an administrator, you can semi-protect the article, and then you and I can discuss your concern on Talk:Rui Pereira (architect). Geo Swan (talk) 15:49, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Like I said, this jackass just won't stop. In this recent edit they used 129.100.255.30 - one of IPs they used to harrass me at Gambier Islands]. Geo Swan (talk) 17:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent vandalism, primarily by his die-hard fans and trolling haters who are equal in number. The vandalism happens mainly due to his popularity and will never end until he's forgotten. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:28, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Draft talk:Swarup Solanki

• Draft talk:Swarup Solanki (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

Semi-protection: Cross wiki spam of this particular person meant the title was protected. The person behind it is blocked, but IPs and a new account (possibly them) are creating the talk page repeatedly. The creations (except the first one) paste the content of the cross wiki spam on the talk page as edit requests. The draft was deleted at MfD and a new draft is unlikely to meet the concerns raised. It has been deleted 5 times in 5 days. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 15:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

The Child (Star Wars character)

• The Child (Star Wars character) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent "cutesy" vandalism to new article for popular character, it's getting a little ridiculous. — TAnthony 15:20, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:55, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

• WP:RFUP
• WP:RFPU

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

• WP:RFED

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 Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
• Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages: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

• Israel–Hamas war (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Currently, the lede states "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, taking 251 captive, against which Israelis responded applying the controversial Hannibal Directive, resulting in the death of 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, among which 815 civilians.". This implies that the majority of the casualties were caused by Israel applying the Hannibal Directive, and despite some cases of casualties due to this, no credible source has made the claim that the majority of casualties originate from it. I suggest changing the lede back to what it was before it was randomly edited to the current lede without any discussion on the talk page about it, to "On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals and taking 251 captive."

Israel–Hamas war

In the section labeled "Initial Israeli counter-operation (October 2023)" it states the following: "A July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used, killing many Israeli civilians and soldiers. An ABC News (Australia) investigation reported that at least 13 civilians were killed in a 'Hannibal' incident in Beeri."

These sentences are incorrect and not supported by the sourced references. First off, the word "many" in the first sentence is gratuitous, misleading, and, perhaps most importantly, not supported by the Haaretz article it references, which never concludes that any citizens were killed as a direct result of a so-called "Hannibal" directive. Nowhere in the article does it state that the Hannibal directive can be tied to *any* deaths, let alone "many" deaths. Any reference in the article to potential deaths caused by a Hannibal directive are stated as questions, or that investigations are forthcoming. (e.g., "Haaretz does not know whether or how many civilians and soldiers were hit due to these procedures, but the cumulative data indicates that many of the kidnapped people were at risk, exposed to Israeli gunfire, even if they were not the target.") Either way, it certainly does not conclude that "many" deaths were tied to the use of the "Hannibal directive" which is highly misleading.

Similarly, as to the second sentence, the ABC News (Australia) does not conclude that " at least 13 civilians were killed in a 'Hannibal' incident in Beeri". It discusses a tank shooting at a house in Kibbutz Berri , but never states that there is evidence that the IDF tank fire resulted in the death of 13 civilians -- as opposed to the 40 Hamas gunmen who were holding them captive and engaged in a "firefight" with the IDF at the time of the tank fire. The 40 Hamas gunmen could just as easily have killed them as opposed to tank fire. Indeed, an eyewitness stated "Mr Shifroni's aunt Ayala and her grand-niece Liel and grand-nephew Yanai were all killed at Pessi's house — he believes by terrorists", not by the IDF and ""There are a few others that we still don't know and we may never know what exactly killed them." Later on in the article, it states "The team determined that most of the hostages were likely murdered by the terrorists, and further inquiries and reviews of additional findings are necessary.".

I propose that the sentences be re-worded as follows: "A July 2024 Haaretz investigation revealed that the IDF ordered the Hannibal Directive to be used at three locations, putting the lives of some Israeli civilians being held by Hamas at those locations at risk.. An ABC News (Australia) investigation reported that after a prolonged firefight in Kibbutz Be'eri with around 40 Hamas gunmen who had been holding 15 hostages inside and outside, 13 of the hostages may have been killed by either the Hamas captors or IDF tank fire."

Israel–Hamas war

Since I cannot reply to my original request on this, I am starting a new request with a different source for the request and a revised sentence:

In the fourth paragraph of the entry, it states."A case accusing Israel of committing genocide is being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,...."

This should be changed to "Cases accusing both Israel and Hamas of committing genocide have been lodged with or are being reviewed by the International Court of Justice,..."

This change is supported by multiple references: https://www.timesofisrael.com/9-bereaved-israeli-families-bring-icc-war-crime-genocide-complaint-against-hamas/ "The families of nine Israeli victims of the October 7 Hamas massacre have lodged a complaint at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for suspected war crimes."

and

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231103-israeli-families-bring-war-crime-complaint-to-icc-lawyer)

The change is necessary for accuracy, balance, and neutral point of view.

Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason. It looks like this: Example (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) your request here. ~~~~
