'''Semi-protection.''' Recommend long-term semi-protection for this article. It's constantly vandalised by anonymous nationalist vandals who focus on deleting the country's name and official languages (basically, nationalists in all of the RoM's neighbours hold grudges about those issues). The article is currently on [[Wikipedia:List of protected pages/Long-term protection|long-term move protection]] for the same reason, as it's more of a vandal magnet than any other page on a European country that I've ever seen. -- [[User:ChrisO|ChrisO]] 23:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC) |

'''Semi protect''' Longstanding problem of persistent (daily) vandalism from anonymous IPs. The sheer number of different IP address involved and the content of the edits, along with the lack of any discernible pattern in the vandalism itself, suggests that the article is the target of many schoolchildren nationwide, acting independently of one another.

Both need {{tlx|Mergeto|Attribution}}. See [[WP:AN#Partisan borderline-wheelwarring|WP:AN on the issue]] - even the defender of the page protection appears to have yielded on the ''entire'' protection issue, though someone dealing with [[WP:PER]] removed the {{tl|Editprotected}} tags without installing the merge tags, believing the issue to be controversial. I allege that there is in fact no controversy at all about these two minor twiddles; the controversy has been about completely unprotecting the pages, and that controversy has itself largely concluded. I have yet to see anyone say "no, these pages should not have merge tags, because [reason]". I've been trying to resolve this silly issue for three days, almost four, and even tried to take it to informal mediation (WP:ATT proponents declined the mediation). This is just getting ''weird'' at this point. PS: I am not requesting unprotection of the pages (though I believe this would be perfectly fine at this point) as ''no one'' I am aware of is suggesting content changes to either policy page, and the only content "change" made to the (now unprotected) RS guidelines was to restore deleted material that made it no longer agree with ATT. I don't understand all the [[WP:PANIC]] about this stuff. — <span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span> [[[User_talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|contrib]]]</span> <span style="color: #990000; font-weight: bold;">ツ</span> 22:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC) |

===={{lw|Attribution}} {{tl|Disputedpolicy}} tag, restoration request==== |
|||
Proposed on its talk page, and resisted (soley, I believe) by same party removing the {{tl|Protected}} tag (see below). This is very straightforward: The {{tl|Disputedpolicy}} alternative to the {{tl|Policy}} and {{tl|Guideline}} tags exists for precisely this sort of case, namely that policy/guideline's status ''as'' a policy or guideline is disputed, and [[Wikipedia talk:Attribution#This merger is a really bad idea|this is certainly the case with WP:ATT, from pretty high up]]. The current situation is that WP:ATT claims to be a policy, and so do WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOR; Jimbo (acting in official capacity, not just as a random user - this is not a case of [[WP:JIMBOSAID|"argumentum ad Jimbonem"]] here) restored the Policy status of V and NOR and Guideline status of RS, and has said (also in that capacity) that WP:ATT requires more consensus-building to be considered a Policy. So, this seems like a non-brainer to me - there's a lot of confusion right now with WP:ATT remaining labelled a policy pending the community discussion and poll about it, which are no where near resolution. — <span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span> [[[User_talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|contrib]]]</span> <span style="color: #990000; font-weight: bold;">ツ</span> 01:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC) |

:Update: After multi-party [[Wikipedia talk:Attribution#Request unprotection of page|discussion]] to add this template (several in favor, one opposed for reasons that do not address what the template is for or says), it was added. It was then unilaterally reverted with simply an incorrect (with regard to what {{tl|Disputedpolicy}} says and exists for) [[Wikipedia talk:Attribution#Page protection notice|rationale]], by one of the pro-WP:ATT parties to the disputes, as with the repeated {{tl|Protected}} reversions below. I understand their defensiveness with regard to the merits of WP:ATT, but this template has nothing to do with those merits, but only about the fact that WP:ATT's existence and nature are the subject of a dispute (and a community discussion page, and an official revert by Jimbo, and a poll, and...) I.e. "disputed", which is a simple fact that carries no pro or con implications. This partisan template deletion pattern is bordering on wheelwarring. — <span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span> [[[User_talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|contrib]]]</span> <span style="color: #990000; font-weight: bold;">ツ</span> 03:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC) |

Put {{tl|Protected}} on it for as long as the protection lasts. I'm filing this here because the protecting admin is part of the dispute at the page in question, so I would prefer to bring this to neutral parties instead of generate any controversy at [[WP:ATT]] with new {{tl|Editprotected}} requests at that page. — <span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]</span> [[[User_talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]] [[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|contrib]]]</span> <span style="color: #990000; font-weight: bold;">ツ</span> 22:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC) |

::: '''Re-request'''. Another party to the dispute has removed the protected tag, replaced it with its invisible cousin <nowiki>{{protected2}}</nowiki> and has added a note which is conspicuously missing the "protection is not an endorsement of the current revision" language.

'''Semi-protect'''. Just look at the page history. A massive pack of IP editors (all from 58.71.*.* or 202.163.*.* -- the only good IP that's edited the page recently is the 76 one...) have been engaged in a massive edit war, making major changes to the page with no consensus. Furthermore, they have also been introducing deliberate typos into the article. This isn't new: they've been doing this since July of last year. The page has been semi-protected once before (look at the date: the IPs have been at it for that long), and the IPs started back up once it was unprotected. Said IPs have also been making the exact same kinds of edits to {{la|Choujuu Sentai Liveman}}, {{la|Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman}}, {{la|Kousoku Sentai Turboranger}}, {{la|Choujin Sentai Jetman}}, and {{la|Choudenshi Bioman}}, but the edit warring is the worst on [[Choushinsei Flashman]].

Latest revision as of 04:07, 20 May 2024
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.

- If we protect the page you won't be allowed to edit it either. Are you OK with that? Daniel Case (talk) 04:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing. If you look at the revision history, there appears to be disruption. Extend the protection level to Extended-Confirmed 70.50.199.125 (talk) 03:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Not seeing anything anywhere near the sort of disruption that would require EC, much less the existing level of protection. Daniel Case (talk) 04:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: IP-hopper keeps adding unsourced information despite requests in the article to provide sources. The Banner talk 09:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for reduction in protection level
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.

The article is simultaneously semi-protected as well as pending protected, both with indefinite deadlines. I thought there should be only one type of edit-protection, if not one indefinite and the other time-based like the page kate Ryan.102.159.242.79 (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 20:43, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding Kate Ryan, I have removed the semi-protection as that was what was intended.@Deb: Would you be open to removing the semi-protection here and seeing how it fares under pending-changes? It has been five-and-a-half years since your protection. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the person is dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.58.90.249 (talk) 06:19, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment:: That's not really a reason, especially given the circumstances. Also, I assume you mean Ebrahim Raisi, not an article that doesn't exist. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 07:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Automated comment: A request for protection/unprotection for one or more pages in this request was recently made, and was denied at some point within the last 8 days.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 07:24, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

Israel–Hamas war
Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215.

- Is there another place to request this change? The talk page for Israel-Hamas war is restricted as well. The current source for casualty data is palinfo.com, which describes itself by saying it "does not lay any claim to neutrality for it blatantly sides with the oppressed Palestinian people." https://english.palinfo.com/about-us/. Recognizing that reliable sources do not need to have a neutral POV, why should we use this as a source rather than a less biased source like the United Nations?

- @ConDissenter Please go check Talk:Israel–Hamas war for earlier discussions and to see why your request is unlikely to succeed. FYI, the lower numbers refer not to the killed overall but to the killed who have additionally been identified by name. Besides, all the numbers are sourced to Gaza MoH anyway. — kashmīrī TALK 09:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, Kashmiri. I recognize the data is all coming from the same place. (I've tried to access but can't find a reliable site for the Gaza Health Ministry to find the data directly, so I assume the UN is accurately presenting the data.) I agree it hasn't changed the total number killed which is why I didn't suggest a change to that -- beyond fixing the "more than" to "nearly" 35,000. But I don't see any basis for keeping outdated numbers on women and children. The old ratio was 72% and the new ratio was 52%. The talk page suggests we need to wait for more RS, but at this point there are plenty:

- Is there any way to flag this for the editors of that page, even on the Talk page? ConDissenter (talk) 23:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
