    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.

    Is there any disruption to the article? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 01:50, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. As implied above. Daniel Case (talk) 03:15, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Reason: Continuous unreferenced edits from IP users. Hotwiki (talk) 13:49, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

    User(s) blocked. Isabelle Belato 23:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    I think it's worth considering protecting the page anyway, given that this has gone on for years across multiple accounts/IPs. --Richard Yin (talk) 23:46, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
    Declined for now as, since I blocked the account causing trouble today, it was the first significant editing to the article in three months. Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    New Azerbaijan Party

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Unregistered users keep removing the 'anti-colonialism' from the infobox, while keeping the reference intact. therefore I request semi protection, most useful edits have been done by registered users. – Nar 2608 – 02:04, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Article gets light editing as it is; it seems like the editors are handling the disruption well enough for now. Daniel Case (talk) 04:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Talk:Mariann Budde

    Reason: A number of IPs have been vandalizing the talk page, either treating it as a forum post to talk about their reactions to her sermon, and a partially blocked IP calling The Rt Rev. some pretty crass & gendered insults (namely demanding that there be a section added calling her ). This is pretty plainly not the point of a talk page and is disruptive & harmful. 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Ah, my apologies for repeating the term, I shouldn't have done that, that's my bad! Figured it was useful for documentation purposes in the moment but it's on the talk page after all, and best not to have that floating around here too, thank you for that! 96.231.129.14 (talk) 02:52, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    I endorse the report by the IP that the attack language at the talk page has gotten out of hand and violates BLP. However, it has not reached the any-reasonable-admin threshold where I feel comfortable acting, as I have a borderline COI with TEC. —C.Fred (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 04:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    TikTok v. Garland

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – String of recent vandalism. Amigao (talk) 02:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 04:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    List of Kabyle people

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – After disrupting Kabyle people to the point where it needed EC protection, the highly disruptive SP master Noname_JR moved to this one, first by using Special:Contributions/Dotabetterthanlol and now, resorting to IP socking (their IP range is known). M.Bitton (talk) 03:11, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 04:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Venkateswara

    Reason: Require semi-protection. High level of IP vandalism. Hbanm (talk) 03:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    Semi-protected for a period of six months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Will log at CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 04:44, 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

    Dave Isaacson

    Reason: The edit includes a source from the Department of Defense Inspector General and the page isn't allowed to include that source. Airman79 (talk) 00:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    @Airman79: This request is a request to lower protection on a title that isn't protected, and reads more like an edit request. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 00:39, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    There is no Misplaced Pages page for Dave Isaacson. Most likely the requester intended to refer to David Isaacson. Still, that is not a page under any form of protection. EdJohnston (talk) 04:06, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
    Declined per above. Daniel Case (talk) 04:47, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

    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.

    Joe Biden

    Remove: "Historians and political scientists rank Biden as above average in historical rankings of American presidents."

    Way too soon to suggest that in the main text of the article! He has barely left office, its going to be at least a few months before such a bold claim can be made. Is there really enough historians and political scientists saying this to justify this claim? BlunanNation (talk) 08:42, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

    Israel–Hamas war

    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." Aradkipod (talk) 12:29, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

    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, putting the lives of some Israeli civilians being held by Hamas 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."
