Requests for page protection


Current requests for increase in protection level

[edit]
Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level

Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.


Reason: Consistent editing by an IP user to change table averages to use mid-range values despite most users using arithmetic mean, and talk page discussion to build consensus around this. This occurs several times a day (15 in the previous 24 hours).

Current requests for reduction in protection level

[edit]
Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.
  • 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.

Reason: I hope it can be pointed out on the discussion page that the explosive devices were not limited to Gold Apollo; devices from the well-known Japanese company Icom Incorporated also exploded. 58.152.168.150 (talk) 16:40, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page

[edit]
Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

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


Change the "mainly Hezbollah members" note on the casualties to "mainly civilians" as a large swath of Hezbollah casualties were apart of their political wing and considered civilians under international law, as well as ensuring the hundreds of medical staff who use pagers and were injured are not ignored. By simply stating that the majority of casualties were apart of Hezbollah, is suggests that the majority of casualties were non-civilian, which is inherently incorrect as stated above. It is imperative that this fact be clarified to prevent misinformation and further demonization of Lebanon.

Furthermore, it must be stated clearly and constantly that not only were the vast majority of the victims civilians, but that such an attack is, by definition and intent, a terror attack on Lebanon by israel (as israel has now confirmed they were behind it and had been planning it for an unspecified length of time). The severity of the attack in the context of international law must also be stated clearly as this is a clear violation of the Geneva Convention and general international law that protects civilians from attack and prohibits the use of terrorism a a legitimate manner of warfare.

For evidence to the above claims, see https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/9/18/israels-war-on-gaza-live-thousands-injured-in-lebanon-pager-explosions in which multiple quotes from israel, Hezbollah, the Lebanese Health Ministry, the UN, and various other third-parties with weight on the issue can be found and used to validate the above claims. Against the Empire (talk) 05:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

  • "Mainly Hezbollah members" should be changed to "mainly civilians"
I am not aware of a single reliable source that has confirmed that most of the casualties were civilian. This is also something that I doubt will come to light very quickly, since Hezbollah generally does not like publishing lists of their soldiers, so discerning who is and isn't a soldier is extremely difficult. Hezbollah themselves claiming that "most casualties were civilian" is not evidence, as Hezbollah is not a reliable source on this matter, since they are known to regularly lie for propaganda purposes.
And suppose that we did have a reliable source claim that most casualties were civilian. This would still not change the fact that most reliable source primarily describe the casualties as "mainly Hezbollah members" and only talk about civilians second. The article must reflect the style of reliable formats, so it cannot assign more importance to their civilian status than their Hezbollah membership unless reliable sources also do so.
  • Medical staff should not be ignored
They are not ignored. Such information is mentioned under the "Casualties" section. Admittedly, this section could be expanded, and it probably will be with time.
  • Calling casualties mainly Hezbollah members suggests they are not civilians
No it doesn't. The interested reader is free to visit the Hezbollah article and read about their organization. It is not Wikipedia's job to correct every single possible misunderstanding that a reader might have at every possible moment.
  • This demonizes Lebanon
No it doesn't. There is no reason that the article's failure to clarify the exact makeup of the casualties should lead readers to conclude that Hezbollah is evil. And even if it does, this won't lead to the demonization of Lebanon, but that of Hezbollah.
And besides, it's not Wikipedia's job to prevent demonization. And even if it were, the change you suggest would lead to much more demonization of Israel than it would prevent demonization of Hezbollah, so the net change would be more demonization in the world.
  • It must be stated clearly and constantly...
No it shouldn't. That would be annoying to read.
  • Israel has now confirmed they were behind it
Where did you read this? It's news to me. You should really cite a source here, it would make a great addition to the article.
Dieknon (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

(I did not put the talk page by mistake in the page title field, that was intentional)

Add topic about the sentence "It is not clear if only Hezbollah members were carrying the pagers" in the third paragraph of the article, with the next paragraph as the body of the topic:

The sentence "It is not clear if only Hezbollah members were carrying the pagers" appears to contradict other pieces of information in the article, specifically that two children died from the explosions. Hezbollah doesn't seem to have a history of using child soldiers in any capacity. The reported ages of the children who died seem to be around the range of 8-11, so I think it's safe to assume that the children who died were not members of Hezbollah. The size of the explosions wouldn't of been enough to kill someone without being in close proximity to it (its not like the pagers had a blast radius of several hundred meters), which implies that the children were either holding the pager or in close proximity to the pagers. Therefore, it can be assumed that non-Hezbollah members were carrying pagers. Granted, I doubt these children were carrying around a pager wherever they went, but they must've been relatively close to it in order to be killed by the pager (as in, holding or carrying the pager).

The reason why I'm saying to add a topic to the talk page instead of just "remove this sentence from the article" is because it's debatable if it actually does contradict, and I'd prefer to get some consensus about it beforehand. I can't request an edit of the article on the talk page due to it being protected, so I can't just use the edit request to gauge consensus on this issue. This could also very well be considered WP:OR, I'm of the opinion that "the explosive that requires one to be close to it to hurt them implies that people who were hurt by it were close to it" would fall under WP:CALC, but I could see consensus going either way on this. AlexChillOut (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Source? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:14, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Here is a source used two sentences later in the same article for the claim about the children who died: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd7xnelvpepo
Also, here is a source to show the range of the explosives, it can be seen in the video that they have a rather short range: https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/lebanon-pagers-attack-hezbollah/index.html
That video is already uploaded to Wikipedia, and can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CCTV_video_of_pager_explosion_in_a_Beirut_market.webm
The rest is mainly these two pieces of information put together, a pager killing a child implies the child was close enough to it to be injured; based on the range shown in the video, they were likely holding it. The source that is cited for the sentence I believe should be removed adds that it was not *immediately* clear, not that it's unclear now (https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/dozens-wounded-after-pagers-detonate-lebanon-officials-point-113754464) AlexChillOut (talk) 16:20, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Found another source, this one states that "[s]he picked up the device to bring it to her father and was holding it when it exploded, mangling her face and leaving the room covered in blood". Safe to assume she was not a Hezbollah member, as she was 9 years old. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/lebanon-funeral-pager-attack.html AlexChillOut (talk) 02:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

[edit]

Remove ", including at least 12 civilians" in second sentence. The citation links to an ABC News article which says that "At least 12 civilians were killed and at least 2,800 people injured in the explosions that took place Tuesday, according to Lebanese authorities." However 12 is the total number of people that were reported killed from the Tuesday explosions, not the number of civilian casualties. 104.246.129.48 (talk) 05:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I would like to introduce an exceptional editor and author with a amazing track record in editing and article creation. Created 182 articles, none of which have been deleted, with the majority focusing on BLPs. Nice editor, and it’s clear that he is one of the editors for whom this user right was created.

Thanks! About the siblings, I was just following the format of other articles, but I'll take it into account. Intruder007 (talk) 21:26, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Of course, I am ashamed that I have not yet made 400, 300 or even 150 articles and most likely will never make that many. But I can say in my «defense» that more than half of them are rare goods, they are world premieres. Before that, there were no such articles in Wikipedias. And I had to create Wikidata for many of them, categories on Commons and start from scratch. It is important for me to make articles in the English Wikipedia, because this immediately promotes a new topic to the whole world. --- - Names·nik·tlk 16:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

A good editor with a solid history of article creation, having created 135 articles, with only one being PROD’d in 2014 and another AfD’d in 2018. The other three deletions, which were G6 and G8, are not particularly significant. Since 2018, none of their articles have been deleted. Their article creation primarily focuses on BLPs, demonstrating their knowledge of notability guidelines. I don’t believe they would abuse the right, and granting it would help reduce the backlog. GrabUp - Talk 05:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done and thanks for your recent nominations, GrabUp. It's really helpful. – Joe (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

A good editor and content creator, they have created a total of 133 articles. One was deleted via G14 in 2022, and another was deleted via A3 back in 2014. Since then, they have created many BLPs and other topic articles, none of which have been deleted. I think they are good to go. GrabUp - Talk 16:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting access for updating census data of highly populated Indian villages in Kerala state and other human settlements on this planet in future. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits.

I would like to use AWB's Checkwiki functionality to alter position of references with respect to punctuation and incorrect ISBNs as I am frequently revising pages that need reference issue support; use find and replace for music album title issues; and use AWB for assistance on creating and correcting items and links within categories of music genres, domestic flag information, and public parks. Thank you. Shotgunheist💬 19:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Improve articles' layouts, correcting Spanish settlement infoboxes, changing IPA-va (depricated) to IPA|ca-valencia, adding IPA, correcting links, etc. I had AWB rights in the past, however I stopped using Wikipedia due to COVID-19.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

[edit]

I want to be able to branch out and explore different aspects of Wikipedia, as article creation does tend to get boring nowadays. I have made 340 pages, 4 of which were deleted (all 4 were from June or earlier). I have no track record of incivility that I am aware of besides a heated conflict back in April, and am a host at the Teahouse. I have commented or voted on ~45 AfDs, and have sent several of my articles through AfC, and I know how the policies work there. If possible, I'd also like to request just a 1-month trial, as I want to see what the tool is like before I commit to it.

 Not done. I like you @Sir MemeGod, and you're absolutely on the right path. You show potential, you ask good questions, but, unfortunately, I find your AfD results to be a bit of a concern. You may have commented on 47 AfD pages, but you've actually only voted on one that you didn't nominate. Of your 11 nominations (excluding the April Fools one), 3 were speedy keeps (including this one from 3 days ago), 2 were kept, 1 was no consensus, and only 2 ended in delete (one open nom which I expect to be the third deletion result). Keep working at it and please do re-apply again in a few months. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Okay, will do. Thanks! :) SirMemeGod  15:02, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I have some experience in AfC and NPP that I believe would help me. {{The Sharpest Lives|💬|✏️|ℹ️}} 04:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm actually not seeing anything in your AFC stats @The Sharpest Lives, but it looks like you only got one month trial last time. You did a bit during your trial, but I'd actually like to grant you another trial given the number of reviews completed and your limited experience at AfD. I'd love to see a bit more work at AfD if possible, and please re-apply roughly a week before the permission is set to expire.  Done for a two-month trial.

Hello!

I have some experience creating article and so far, I have been guiding new users to edit Wikipedia as well as reviewing their drafts. I will like to request the new page reviewer following my understanding of how it works (This took a while for me, however I am very good now following several trainings). Looking forward to my request been granted!. Tesleemah (talk) 19:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. Thank you for volunteering, but in reviewing your editing history I wasn't able to find sufficient experience with the deletion process to feel comfortable granting you the permission at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability. Alternatively, you can apply to help out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I was hoping to participate in the NPP Sep. backlog drive, since I missed the last one. I have some article writing experience, and regularly interact with newcomers during RC patrolling. I also have a decent AfD nomination ratio, with the same being true of my CSD log. Overall, I think I would make a useful addition to the NPP team, and hope to be trusted with this responsibility.

Hi, I would like to request for NPP rights to help reduce the huge backlog of NPP reviewers. I have familiarized myself with the prerequisite required for this permission. I started to help out in draftspace of my interest, and noticed that there are quite of huge backlog that are pending review, in which only NPP reviewers are allowed to accept/reject it, I believed with my knowledge, I can volunteer to reduce it. Thank you for considering me. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 07:36, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

@98Tigerius: It sounds like want to review drafts submitted to articles for creation? For that, you should request access at WP:AFC/P. This right is for new page patrolling.

 Not done. WP:PMCRITERIA mention 3,000 edits as a guideline for granting, which you're significantly under. However, the biggest problem is that you've only performed 10 page moves thus far, so you don't have a demonstrated need for the tools at this point in time. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:27, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

I occasionally rename new articles to fix poor titles. I also sometimes want to move new articles to draftspace. Generally, neither case needs a redirect for the old title. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 11:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm requesting the page mover permission to help deal with the backlog on Wikipedia:Requested moves, particularly the technical moves but also the requested moves with clear consensus. I have been participating in such discussions with some frequency for a while now, also suggesting the move of some pages myself (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., all of them moved), and I believe my participation with this permission would be beneficial to the project, especially regarding the backlog, as previously mentioned. Sometimes I try to close obvious consensus, but without being a page mover, I cannot do so and have to rely on a page mover (e.g., 1, 2, 3). I have read the policy and, for what it's worth, I always adopt the maxim "if I am not sure, I won't do it" in my edits.

Hi, as part of working at AfC I come across submissions on editors main userpage or sandbox that need to be cleanly moved to draft (i.e. without leaving a redirect). I stopped moving such submissions years ago as if the editor starts another article I was then the creator rather the actual creator which never seemed right to me. It would also be useful for when new editors create/move drafts to the Wikipedia or Template namespaces either in error or attempting to promote/spam.

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have over 800 edits, most of which are on the main space. I am aware I have a somewhat lousy history with giving proper edit summaries, as i didn't fill out revision summaries, but I have tried to rectify it. I was also involved in a dispute which might have been classified as an edit war back in April. Other then that I have a clean slate. Thanks for considering. Yes I am a nerd -XCBRO172 (How could you tell?) 18:42, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 20:38, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
