'''Indefinite semi-protection''' ''vandalism'', Same vandal since March 2007 from San Diego. Most vandalism regarding details of marraige breakup.

    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.

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – Immediate resume of behaviour (addition of unsourced content) following page's previous protection. livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Sakhnin

    Reason: The page has a WP:Editnotice that is commensurate with an Extended Confirmed protection. I am not necessarily seeking Extended Confirmed protection, just consistency. Please either remove the WP:Editnotice, or apply Extended Confirmed protection. --The Mountain of Eden (talk) 16:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Harivansh Rai Bachchan

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IPs keep changing death date and removing source . Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Invicta Racing

    Reason: The Misplaced Pages page for Invicta Racing talks about Virtuosi Racing's history, but Invicta Racing purchased the team from Virtuosi, that's why it is discussed in Misplaced Pages. Someone is continuing to flag the website and say that we are using their sources and it's not original. This is false, we are just talking about the history of the team. The users name is MSport1005. They have been doing this for a while now because we had edited the page originally and they continued to make changes. We need this resolved asap. AviLalo (talk) 17:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    +1 Reason: Continued disruptive editing by a single editor. Someone has created a new page to discuss the Invicta Racing, their sponsorship and achievements since purchasing the Virtuosi Racing Team. The original content I tried to update on Virtuosi's page was consistently being removed by this user turning it into a content dispute. Someone has now made a page exclusively discussing Invicta and the same user has followed asking for it to be taken down showing there must be a significant conflict of interest on the users side to keep following this topic to shut it down. Psf3397 (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Luke Newton

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism. AntoniaRoumeliotis23 (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    You literally used People.com as a resource. Are you sure you're NOT the ip troll? DACartman (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    This account needs to be locked FROM AntoniaRoumeliotis23 and fellow trolls MWikiEdits (talk) 17:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Are you talking about me? I just said that people.com is not a reliable source. DACartman (talk) 17:50, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    See example of harassment above. I will not engage. AntoniaRoumeliotis23 (talk) 17:50, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    I am not harrassing you, I am saying what you did and asked you a question. DACartman (talk) 17:51, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Plus, if you were/are Luke's girlfriend, then you have a conflict of interest. DACartman (talk) 17:53, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    This. The user is either a troll or the real Antonia. Either way, neither one should be the authority to update the page. MWikiEdits (talk) 17:55, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    +1 Reason: High level of IP vandalism. Continuous troll activity.MWikiEdits (talk) 17:53, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    +1 Reason: Troll account AntoniaRoumeliotis23 keeps logging in to update personal life section to reflect “she” is dating the subject of the page. User is a troll. Additionally, other anonymous trolls are making derogatory comments about main subject in both main section and personal life. Account should be protected to prevent continuous troll updates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MWikiEdits (talk • contribs) 18:00, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 18:42, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Game Changer (film)

    Reason: High IP and new user accounts vandalism changing boxoffice figures. Please protect page. RangersRus (talk) 18:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Favonian (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Ethika

    Reason: This article frequently gets edits from multiple users with low edit counts that add content of a highly promotional tone, as well as claims without proper citation. The only available resource for some of these claims are written by the company themselves. Pattersonuwu (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Daaku Maharaaj

    Reason: High IP vandalism going on for a week now. Some new user accounts are also disruptive. Reverts on these persistent vandalism happens every day but IPs come back to change boxoffice figures without sources. Submitted request twice before but was declined. RangersRus (talk) 19:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    2025 Israeli raid on Jenin

    Reason: This article is related to the Israel-Palestine/Arab-Israeli conflict, a CTOP. Articles that fall under this CTOP are to be bluelocked if I remember correctly. Thus I am requesting for extended protection to be applied to the page. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:12, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    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

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    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.
