'''semi-protect'''. The page is fully-protected, despite recent edit-warring being primarily by IP addreses.

:{{RFPP|q}}I'm not sure ] precludes the use of semi-protection - though I can see the point. However ] also says that ''administrators normally protect the current version, except where the current version contains content which clearly violates content policies, such as obvious vandalism or copyright violations.'' However the page protection did protect a "joke" vandalism about Red Squirrels that hadn't in itself been part of the edit war, and is clearly not true. Attempts to remove this vandalism by normal means during page protection have been slow, and so far futile. Perhaps if there was a faster process of fixing protected pages, then full protection would be appropriate. Can you either semi-protect, or at least remove the for which there is no consensus. ] (]) 15:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

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

    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.

    Nosferatu (2024 film)

    Reason: Persistent vandalism from IP users. CricketXP (talk) 00:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:23, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Marc Elias

    Reason: High levels of vandalism. Marc Elias is a progressive voting rights and elections attorney. This page is intentionally being targeted by people who oppose his politics. They are misleading readers regarding Donald Trump's 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and spreading disinformation about Trump associates’ connections to Russian officials and interests. This page needs to be fact checked by serious fact checkers and protected from vandals. 2600:8805:250C:3200:BD90:3AAA:4171:CA5C (talk) 01:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Please enforce WP:CT/AP. IanDBeacon (talk) 04:39, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    +1 Reason: High levels of vandalism and false information. The 2016 Trump campaign was linked to Russian officials: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868/. Attempts to add context were reverted by other user(s). Marc Elias has many followers on social media, and this page could be used to intentionally spread falsehoods. पर्वत चोटी (talk) 02:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Nuri Şahin

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism/edit warring by IPs from Malaysia and Turkey since end of December. Despite heroic efforts by an editor to revert these, there were so many bad IP edits that the article still has subtle remnants. Edit warring/vandalism done by at least 3 different IPs from 2 countries so can't just block a single one unfortunately. AncientWalrus (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    chhaava

    Reason: This movie is based on historical novel, I want to protect page to prevent incorrect information. Kiranpawar3210 (talk) 06:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Question: We don't preemptively protect pages. Is there disruption now? What type and by what users? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    Miss Supranational 2025

    Reason: Combination of sockpuppetry and disruptive IP editing. IP problems are mostly Manual of Style issues regarding sub-national flags, but also sourcing issues endemic to pageant articles. The history of the article since January 1 is self explanatory, but here are some examples:

    CU-confirmed socking since January 1
    contra-consensus editing by IPs since January 1

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Shortcuts

    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.

    Shortcuts

    Foundational Black American

    Reason: I am writing to respectfully request the removal of the edit protection on the "Foundational Black Americans" page. I believe that the current state of the page does not accurately represent the term and may inadvertently mislead readers.

    Issue at Hand:

    When searching for "Foundational Black Americans," the page redirects to an individual, which does not provide a definition or proper context of the term. This is concerning because:

    Misrepresentation: "Foundational Black Americans" refers to a lineage of Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States and have developed a distinct cultural heritage over generations. It is not a term beholden to any single person or leader.

    Ethnogenesis and Cultural Significance: Black Americans have undergone a unique process of ethnogenesis, evolving from labels such as "Negro" and "Colored" to "African American," and now embracing "Foundational Black Americans" to acknowledge their specific historical and cultural identity.

    Potential Misinformation: Redirecting to an individual's page may contribute to misinformation and does not align with Misplaced Pages's commitment to providing neutral and accurate information.

    Request:

    I kindly request that the edit protection be lifted to allow for collaborative efforts in:

    Creating a Dedicated Page: Developing a comprehensive article that defines "Foundational Black Americans" as a lineage, supported by reliable sources.

    Ensuring Accuracy and Neutrality: Providing readers with accurate information that reflects the collective heritage and contributions of Foundational Black Americans without unintended bias.

    Commitment to Misplaced Pages's Standards:

    I am committed to adhering to Misplaced Pages's guidelines on neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. My intention is to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia and enhance the quality of information available to the public.

    Conclusion:

    Thank you for considering my request. I believe that updating the page to accurately reflect the term will greatly benefit those seeking information on this important aspect of American history and culture.

    I look forward to your response and the opportunity to contribute to this article. 2601:983:4600:7230:8D69:264C:225A:3C55 (talk) 23:57, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

    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 Shortcut

    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

    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.

    Not done This sentence is about International Court of Justice (ICJ), not International Criminal Court (ICC). Only Israel is respondent before ICJ, as it is a UN member state. ICC indictments are a separate matter where both sides have received it. Kenneth Kho (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
