Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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: COVID 19 isn’t a huge topic anymore, I think the protection can be reduced to semi. Heyaaaaalol (talk) 23:13, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell: you did the most recent protection. I think the reason for the current EC protection is likely no longer a concern. There are a couple of old but reasonable edit requests on the talk page too. Is it OK with you to reduce to semi? ~Anachronist (talk) 01:27, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]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.
My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:
"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"
1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.
Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.
2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Diese Beschränkungen hob das VG Frankfurt vollständig auf.

The Administrative Court of Frankfurt completely lifted these restrictions. In response to the city's complaint, the Administrative Court of Kassel differentiated that calls for the destruction of Israel violated - as mentioned - Section 111 of the Criminal Code and that the statement "Jews, child murderer" constituted incitement to hatred (Section 130 of the Criminal Code). In contrast, other statements such as "Israel, child murderer" or the description of Israeli military operations in Gaza as "genocide" were not objected to and the Administrative Court's decision was upheld in this respect. It can be assumed that children would also be harmed in Israel's military defense actions. Such a lay exaggeration must be accepted within the framework of freedom of expression. On October 21, 2023, the Mannheim Higher Administrative Court upheld a ban on the slogans "Israel, child murderer" and "Israel kills children" by the assembly authority despite existing doubts about their criminal liability; in the interim legal protection procedure, only a summary examination is possible; a statement once made cannot be reversed. The distinction between anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli is certainly a balancing act that cannot be described in detail here.” There is no broad ban on pro-Palestinian protests either, and they were even allowed to happen on Oct. 7 of this year (in some cases).

This appears to have been dealt with? Selfstudier (talk) 16:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
- My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
- If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Ecco2kstan, how about: "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations. Supporters of Israel say that accusing Israel of genocide is both antisemitic[10][11] and a form of Holocaust erasure[12], but others argue antisemitism shouldn't be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations.[13][14][15][16]".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not as familiar with the Holocaust erasure claims, but I'm happy with that reworking! If that weaponization of Holocaust denial detail isn't on the weaponization of antisemitism page already, it might be a worthwhile phenomenon incorporate if there's more citations you can find. I might look into it myself. Thanks! Ecco2kstan (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- That does sound quite balanced. 1 from me. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Vice regent: Would you please make this change, so we can close this request? ~Anachronist (talk) 21:28, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- The text I originally wanted modified was changed to "Israel's supporters say that accusing Israel of genocide is antisemitic, but others argue antisemitism should not be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations" after other discussions on the talk page. I almost like it better, but by saying "Israel's supporters" it relieves some of the responsibility from the Israeli government in the accusations that was, to an extent, duly credited in the original modification. Maybe now, it should just say "The Israeli government and their supporters say that accusing the state for genocide antisemitic..." or something similar.

This one, too? Selfstudier (talk) 16:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
I would like to request the addition of the following paragraph on Singapore’s support for a two-state solution under the section "International Positions on the Two-State Solution" in the Two-state solution article:
International Positions on the Two-State Solution
Singapore: Singapore supports a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, advocating for a negotiated outcome aligned with relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. According to Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore believes this approach allows Israelis and Palestinians to coexist peacefully and securely, considering it the only viable path toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting resolution. Singapore also consistently upholds the Palestinian right to a homeland. The PLO, which constitutes the key pillar of the current Palestinian Authority, accepts Israel's right to exist and has renounced terrorism.[1]

Gaza genocide - the 186,000 indirect deaths estimate
[edit]In the "Indirect" section, the following sentence should be added after "186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza":
Three days after the publication, one of the writers, Professor Martin McKee, clarified that the 186,000 figure was “purely illustrative”[1] and stated that “our piece has been greatly misquoted and misinterpreted.”[2]

I would like to request that a change be made for accuracy under the subhead Origin and spread: Other events. There is a reference to a photo of a man carrying two dead geese, but it is actually only one goose. Footnotes 54, 58, and 59 all state that there is one goose in the photo. Footnote 60 says two geese, but this is evidently a mistake on TMZ's part as the photo itself clearly shows only one goose.
I suggest that the wording "man carrying two dead Canada geese" be changed to "man carrying a dead Canada goose".
In the next sentence I suggest that the wording "The geese were roadkill" either be changed to "The goose was roadkill" or that this part of the sentence be eliminated since the only source for the goose being roadkill is the TMZ article which may be unreliable and perhaps should be removed as a reference? It's possible the official quoted by TMZ was referring to a different incident altogether involving two roadkill geese and TMZ mistakenly linked this to the Columbus photo.
Then I suggest in the following sentence the wording "stealing geese" be changed to "stealing a goose".
Also, I would like to suggest that the semi-protected status be lifted from the Talk page of this article. 2600:100A:B10A:4AA1:0:21:7E13:E301 (talk) 23:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

In the state results table, I would like to request that the columns labeled Margin and Margin swing be filled in, for those rows/states in which the relevant data has already been entered. Obviously not every state has data, but most do.

Hello,
In this article, the following section is problematic.
"On 9 or 10 October, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages held in Gaza if Israel would call off its planned invasion of the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli government rejected the offer.[242]"
It needs to be taken out completely.
The original article is based on an interview in Times of Israel newspaper. In the interview, the interviewee mentions this as a side comment:
“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”
There is no mention of how they found out, and this is pretty much the only "evidence" given in support of any offer from Hamas to release all civilian hostages. It is less than hearsay.
Thank you for listening.

I want it to be added somewhere that Kamala Harris, despite her loss, received about 74.5 million votes, surpassing Trump's vote count in 2020. She also received almost 10 million more votes than Hillary Clinton did in 2016, and received the 3rd highest vote count of any nominee in history, and the most for any woman in American political history.

The article references a Brookings poll[1] in its body under: Academic and legal discourse->Middle Eastern studies. The lead appears to misrepresent the information presented in the body.
In the lead, please change:
− | According to a recent Middle East Scholar Barometer poll of 758 mostly US-based Middle East scholars, a majority of those respondents believe Israel's actions in Gaza were intended to make it uninhabitable for Palestinians, and 75% of them say Israel's actions in Gaza constitute either genocide or "major war crimes akin to genocide". |
The wording found in the article body: "A Brookings 23 May to 6 June 2024 survey asked 758 Middle East scholars and experts who study the issue, most in the United States: "How would you define Israel's current military actions in Gaza?" The responses were: "major war crimes akin to genocide", 41%; "genocide", 34%; "major war crimes but not akin to genocide", 16%; "unjustified actions but not major war crimes", 4%; "justified actions under the right to self-defense", 4%; and "I don't know", 2%."
One single poll is almost certainly undue for the lead of any article, but if it will stand, it should accurately reflect the source. Mikewem (talk) 21:27, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]
I would kindly like to submit a request for autopatrolled rights. I have created 50 articles since 2017, which you will find listed on my user page here, none of which have been deleted nor have received any new page reviewers' comments in quite some time. I have also improved thousands more articles across Wikipedia. I am mainly interested in increasing the coverage of all things Brussels-related. Thanks in advance! Jason Lagos (talk) 17:42, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
I have been editing Wikipedia for nearly 10 years with over 1000 edits, with 32 live articles primarily focusing on topic elated to asian audio visual and the institute in Bangladesh. Thank you for considering my request. UzbukUdash (talk) 07:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
User:Pbritti told me to. Apparently I qualify, and I've been cranking out a decent number of articled recently. Been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2009, been editing more regularly for the last year or two. Been a rollbacker and pending changes reviewer for almost 12 years. I created one GA and have taken two articles from being just a few sentences to GA status, a few more nominations in the pipeline. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting confirmed rights Adding to the pregnancy portion to the cancer page. I have worked on this piece for a whlie and have valid citations and sources. This is for a school project and not an act of vandalism or false information. Prarthanarawal (talk) 19:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Extended confirmed[edit]
In the beginning of November my EC permissions have been revoked by User:ScottishFinnishRadish due to what he considered to be gaming, because of me doing a large number of minor edits requested as part of the CW Project. SFR said that he would not object to the restoration of my EC permissions once I made a few hundred more substantial edits. Since then I made over 350 edits, mainly on pages related to mathematics and food security, and I believe this should qualify me for restoration of extended-confirmed permissions. DancingOwl (talk) 17:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
I would like to be able to publish a growing stack of articles pending on my translation list, this will allow for wikipedia to have multiple buried local articles only available in some languages to be accessible for a wider base of international readers in English, I hope you will accept my request. Lubatchovsky (talk) 13:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
I am writing to formally request the reinstatement of my extended account rights on Wikipedia. Previously, these rights were revoked due to concerns regarding my use of an automatic translator, which was perceived as "gaming the rules." Since then, I have completed few hundred manual edits, as requested to regain it, to demonstrate my commitment to improving content and adhering to the community's standards. Michael Boutboul (talk) 22:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
I had another account that I forgot the credentials to access it. I am a professional translator who is eager to contribute to Wikipedia. Therefore, I request extended confirmation. Burak Mahmutoğlu (talk) 10:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer[edit]
I see that there is a large backlog, so I would like to help reduce it, especially the redirects, as I have more experience with them. I have not created any articles, but I have read the tutorials for NPR and related pages, so I will not make any unintentional (or intentional) detrimental edits. I am familiar with WP:BLAR, WP:PROD and WP:AfD, and have behaved civilly with other editors. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
I have been on Wikipedia now for 14 years (which I can't believe) and I have had the rollback permission for over a decade. I have also been a pending changes reviewer for a similar amount of time although I rarely participate in that sphere. I tend to focus within recent changes patrol as well as counter-vandalism efforts, but I also perform more traditional edits to articles--especially within gerontology-related topics and feel I have a strong understanding on what is appropriate for Wikipedia and what is not. I am familiar with the CSD and AFD criterion and have nominated pages for such in the past. I would want the permission to work on the backlog and ultimately be able to assist in a more versatile manner than I currently am able to. --Thebirdlover (talk) 02:42, 4 December 2024 (UTC) I had to think about this because it was so long ago, but I also remember reviewing pages off of the NewPagesFeed back in the day before it was a formal user right. I cannot think of any dispute anyone had with the calls I made—some of the pages I reviewed were later deleted, but 5-10 years after I reviewed them. Check the public logs for examples. --Thebirdlover (talk) 13:23, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
I have been editing Wikipedia for nearly 10 years with over 1000 edits, with 32 live articles primarily (yes, mistakenly got a copyright report for an article) focusing on topic elated to asian audio visual and the institute in Bangladesh.

Page mover[edit]
I have been doing NPP for a while in the physical sciences, with a bit of editing, creating a few articles and AfC. Several times during NPP I have come across "messes" where relics such as drafts have been left behind by inexperienced users. I would like to have the ability to move without a redirect. I don't expect to be using it that often, probably once a month at most. Ldm1954 (talk) 13:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Experienced editor (10k edits; acccout over 5 years old), requesting this permission for occassional page moves I come across that need to be done also from moving drafts out into mainspace. Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 01:14, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback |

Rollback[edit]
Requesting rollback permission to combat the pervasive presence of vandalism and/or edits of unencyclopedic quality to the best of my ability. At the present moment I am a semi-retired user; however, I have been a regular patroller of recent changes to both specific pages as well as the site as a whole. I'd very much like to learn the counter-vandalism tool RedWarn and/or Ultraviolet and get involved to a greater extent across the site in keeping pages up to editors' standards - I intend to be a long-term contributor to the site and expect to be much more active in the future, predominantly in this line of work. I've familiarized myself with WP:VANDTYPES and have encountered and attempted thus far to manually revert instances of controversial edits at times - edits which it would be far more helpful to all parties to take care of via rollback. I'd particularly like to delve into new ways to spot the more subtle instances that go unnoticed for longer periods of time, per WP:SNEAKY, as well as monitor for violations of WP:TPV and continually make an effort to practice WP:WARNVAND, WP:HTSV, WP:NOTVANDALISM, WP:RVAN and WP:NORESVAND among others. My most notable effort to prevent escalated conflict(s) would be in the Talk:Wings_of_Fire_(novel_series)#February_2023_Content_Editing_Conflict, though I do not yet have a track record of notifying users when reverting their edits beyond discussions on article talk pages (though this is typically as the reverted editor has tended to initiate the conversations first). Furthermore, I intend to prioritize diligently monitoring sockfarm-targeted pages in addition watching out for recent changes. Please let me know if you'd like me to undergo training and/or further regulatory practice first - and thank you for your consideration of me for this responsibility. ^^ TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
My next logical request for permission, one that I don't suppose I can utilize alongside Ultraviolet to stop the bad faith one-timers and vandals where I watch. Although, I must admit, I should simultaneously take care to not get into any content dispute I see; I'll do my best not to get into one this way. Thanks for considering (again). 2601AC47 (talk·contribs·my rights) Isn't a IP anon 01:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
I would like rollback permissions to make fighting vandalism quicker and easier. I have been reverting vandalism for over 1 month and have experience with tools such as Twinkle and Ultraviolet. I would also like to be able to have access to Huggle to make my anti-vandalism experience easier. MouseCursor (talk) 13:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
I would like to be able to access rollback tools to fight vandalism more effectively, I am familiar with Wikipedia's rules. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 17:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Dealing with a lot of vandalism lately. Undoing, warning and reporting. Hope that undoing could be made easier with Rollback rights. YBSOne (talk) 20:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi, requesting rollback permission for my counter-vandalism efforts, as I would like to quickly remove obvious vandalism and to access helpful tools. I have been active in this area for several months here and even longer on dewiki. Therefore, I am familiar with the relevant guidelines and tools. With regards, –MrBenjo (talk) 15:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC) MrBenjo (talk) 15:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Would be used for reverting edits by blocked socks of banned users, similar to this request nableezy - 20:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
This permission will help me in combating vandalism. I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes, always warning users when necessary, assuming good faith, and taking full responsibility for all my edits. I also do crosswiki patrolling and recently joined the SWMT. — Tres Libras (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
I am here to reapply for rollback permissions to assist in combating vandalism more efficiently. Over time, I have actively reverted vandalism using the "undo" tool and have familiarized myself with Wikipedia's policies, particularly vandalism and rollback.I fully understand that rollback should only be used for clear cases of vandalism, and I am committed to using the tool responsibly. My contributions reflect my dedication to maintaining Wikipedia's quality and integrity.If there are any concerns or further clarification needed regarding my request, please let me know. Thank you for considering my request.MP1999 ❯❯❯ Talk 11:03, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
