    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.

    Reason: I'm asking for this page to be semi-protected after posting on Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard yesterday. Several anonymous IPs continue to add original research onto the article despite being reverted by several editors who have the same concern. It is the same edit each time which started happening in February/March but has recently continued again recently Michaeldble (talk) 12:02, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    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.

    2024 Nuseirat rescue operation

    Reason: This was a massacre, not a rescue operation. The IDF killed more than 274 innocent civilians according to Aljazeera (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/11/nuseirat-anatomy-of-israels-massacre-in-gaza) and the IDF managed to kill 3 of their hostages in this operation. Therefore, to reduce misinformation, this article needs to be edited to the facts collected by numerous news agencies. The new title should be "2024 Nuseirat Massacre".

    Declined. Articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict may only be edited by users with extended-confirmed status, that is to say, by users whose accounts have existed for at least 30 days and who have made at least 500 edits. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 10:35, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Talk:Donald Trump

    Please add the following:

    {{rfc|Should the sentence "He is the first and only President to have been impeached twice and to be convicted of a felony." be added after the first sentence?}} 66.69.214.204 (talk) 02:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined This is a noticeboard for simple edits and corrections, not yet another venue to demand that a new RfC be opened minutes after the last one was closed with no consensus after thousands of bytes were spent, still less for attempts at bludgeoning discussions by proxy Acroterion (talk) 03:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    At present we have "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its Rafah offensive.[1]"

    I suggest changing it to include a longer, semantically-complete, quotation, to read: "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.[2]"

    As the Guardian article points out, and reports judges as arguing, the last comma is critical to the meaning of the ruling. Hunc (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
