Reason: Multiple IPs are edit warring. M S Hassan 📬✍🏻 03:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Although sporadic, there has been disruptive editing from the changing of sourced content/figures from the infobox. The page has also been protected before. Noorullah (talk) 05:03, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Rimini, Montana, Rimini, South Carolina and Uceta Yard are infrequently but persistently vandalized by User:Vicinijose, a user in the Dominican Republic who insists that these obscure places were founded by a renowned railroad engineer from the Vicini family of whom no evidence seems to exist. Pending changes status requested. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:928:AD00:C590:26B8 (talk) 16:21, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The infrequency with which this vandalism occurs makes protection impossible. By my count, it appears to occur once every 8-10 months. To abate even one instance of vandalism, therefore, we'd have to apply something like 12 months of page protection. Preventing non-autoconfirmed users from contributing to these articles for months or years just to stop the possibility that an IP editor might vandalize an article once or twice in that time would be inconsistent with our ethos. However, if the cadence of vandalism increases, please do come back to request protection again as a different calculus might then apply. Chetsford (talk) 19:23, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Persistent disruptive editing of Droop quota, instant-runoff voting, single transferable vote, counting single transferable votes, and electoral quota by a series of IPs. IPs do not belong to a single range that could be excluded by a range block, but all appear to be the same person. IP often introduces mistakes, typos, unsourced content, confusing or unclear wording that breaks up the flow of the text, and external links into the body of the article (prohibited by MOS). – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 16:47, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

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: This blocked editor is no longer an administrator; I don't see a reason for full protection. I would like to be able to fix the half-dozen Linter syntax errors on the page. Some level of protection below full is fine with me. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:28, 17 October 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.


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)

@FortunateSons: A quick browse shows at least for the first part support for removal, can you add any additional incite? -- Cdjp1 (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
I've removed #2. But there does seem to be evidence that pro-Palestine protests have been banned in parts of Germany at times.[2][3][4].VR (Please ping on reply) 14:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. Maybe the following article gives a bit more clarity.[[5]] Gilbert04 (talk) 18:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Unfortunately that source seems incomplete. Germany has indeed suppressed peaceful criticism of Israel.[6] And Washington Post says "A planned photo exhibit in southwestern Germany was canceled as a result of social media posts by its curator, including one describing “genocide” in Gaza."[7] VR (Please ping on reply) 22:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Well, I do not think that any source will ever be complete. Let me add two more.[[8]][[9]] Gilbert04 (talk) 20:44, 17 October 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)

Change infobox location of death.

Old: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip, Palestine"

New: "| death_place = Rafah, Gaza Strip"

This would reflect the convention for other similar pages for recently assassinated Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip, such as Ayman Nofal, Jamila Abdallah Taha al-Shanti, Marwan Issa etc. The status of Gaza Strip as part of the State of Palestine, or as part of the autonomous Palestinian Territories (with the State of Palestine not recognized by most Western or OECD countries), is contentious (it does have limited observer state status in the UN). See International recognition of the State of Palestine. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 17:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Inform readers of the distinction between the dagger symbol and the cross symbol in the infobox.

Under "Commanders and leaders" in the infobox Yahya Sinwar has a dagger next to his name, but others such as Marwan Issa have a cross next to their name. The distinction between these symbols is not immediately clear to someone reading the article, I feel that this should be explicitly noted on the page.

Autopatrolled

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it.

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration.

I am currently a New Page Patroller and actively participate in Articles for Creation (AfC) and Articles for Deletion (AfD).

Hi, I have created 25 articles by 2021, none of which has been deleted. Recently, I created another 3 articles, and in total I have made 3200 edits (none of which has been deleted). These articles and edits are primarily about modern Chinese history, which I am familiar with. And I just realized I may have been qualified for the "auto-patrol" right for a long time, but never asked for it. Therefore, I'd like to ask to become an auto-patroller which hopefully will also save some work for the new page patrollers in the future. Thank you very much.

Hello, I’m requesting Autopatrolled rights to help reduce the New Pages Patrol workload. I focus on classical Greek topics and have translated many pages from the Greek Wikipedia, having created over 50 pages so far.

I have returned to editing after a looooong wikibreak (life happens). Before that I was a reasonably active user in good standing for a couple of years and created quite a few articles only one of which was deleted (while I was on wikibreak so not around to add the additional sourcing, from specialist publications, that it needed to confirm notability).

I'm in the process of updating many out-of-date articles about carnivorous plants, including filling in large gaps in the taxonomy, so I have well over 100 new pages on my to-do list. To reduce the burden on NPP, I'd like to request autopatrolled before I start churning through those please. YFB ¿ 16:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

(oh, edit conflict proved me correct)

Well, that's been a wikibreak of extraordinary length. Welcome back! As you will appreciate, Wikipedia has moved on in the 17 intervening years. I've had a look at the nine articles that you have produced since you've become active again. The expectation is that articles by autopatrolled editors are clean and don't need attention by others. However, that's not the case for the stubs that you produce, with recurrent issues being lack of categories, tagging for single source or orphan status, DEFAULTSORT missing for bios, and a variety of WP:MOS issues. I suggest that you keep a close eye on how other editors tweak your articles and if you take all those things on board, your articles will be clean enough for becoming autopatrolled in no time.  Not done for the bot. Keep up your good work! Schwede66 20:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

A reasonable number of moves, but I not seeing any WP:RM/TR requests and am concerned by this RM which – based on the previous RM – seemed doomed to fail in the first place. This discussion also looks to be going against you. Primefac (talk) 18:05, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
I only can say I'll be responsible if you grant me this right. I can participate in more TM, I just need to get usedd.to them. Yes it failed however I understood the norms and moved similar articles to Countryname. I opposed to Anatolian plateau because there are other geographical units that use capitalization in similar contexts. — Jɑuмe (dis-me) 01:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Lately, I have been closing a large number of RM and CfD discussions after they are cross-posted to WP:CR. Having page mover rights would allow me to implement many of the former and even a few of the latter myself, instead of constantly needing to post technical requests. I have read and understood the guidelines concerning its use, and I am happy to entertain any questions regarding my work in the area to date. Thanks, and God bless.

Pending changes reviewer

edit

I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I believe that I'd be a good Pending Changes Reviewer, as I have a good amount of time on my hands, and can do monotonous tasks, like denying obvious vandalism, and the like. I meet, what I believe are all the requirements for this right, and humbly ask to receive this privilege. Thanks in advance! Legendbird (talk) 09:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I am an Wikipedian for more than three years and part of various wikiprojects I need permission to expand my works on Wikipedia and also to observe Wikipedia articles. Cactinites (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I have been a wikipedia editor for some time now and love to revert vandalism and unconstructive edits to prevent the spread of problems on wikipedia. I currently am a Recent Changes patrol and love my job! I have successfully achieved 1000 total edits (or ~ 325 mainspace edits) on the english wikipedia. I can't wait to be a pending changes reviewer, as it will allow me to stop the spread of vandalism even farther! Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!)

 Not done for the same reason I declined OP's request for rollback. -Fastily 23:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I am a Wikipedian with a heavy focus on anti-vandalism work and would like this permission to be able to further contribute to the field. I have read the basic content policies, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NOT. Also, I have contributed with many vandalism reverts and am already familiar with what vandalism is and is not WP:VANDAL and already have the rollback right. I have also read WP:COPYRIGHT and have helped a little bit in deleting copyvios that already existed. I would love to be able to help even more and expand what I can do.

I’d like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I have been active on Wikipedia for a while, focusing on improving content quality and helping maintain the integrity of articles. I am not new to reviewing edits, as I use edit-request tools to answer several requests by unregistered/registered editors that wish to see changes on several articles. I have read all policies on how to handle this right and know the responsibly that comes alongside it. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 16:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)


Rollback

edit

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have done TWO rollback rights request, and I am happy to say that I have surpassed 200 mainspace edits and have also surpassed 1 month of Recent Changes Patrolling.I love the ability to help, and I already love to prevent vandalism with the help of Ultraviolet and Twinkle. I am ready to join the rollbacker force to get access to more tools, like AntiVandal and Huggle for even faster response. Don't worry, I won't bite the newcomers unless necessary!

Could you please comment on this edit and subsequent warning from @Oblivy. Why did you make this edit and do you believe it was appropriate for Oblivy to warn you? -Fastily 05:26, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
I was a beginner at the time and I did not think that I would have to read the diffs for an edit that causes the word "its" to change to "it's." I really think that it was important for Oblivy to warn me, as it teaches me to never just blatantly use find and replace. Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits! 01:29, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
For what it’s worth the rapid fire use of find and replace gave me some concerns. I did look through their edits and this seemed to be a one-off, and the immediate acceptance of responsibility and efforts to resolve are praiseworthy. OTOH automated tools in the wrong hands can cause a lot of havoc in a hurry… Oblivy (talk) 09:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
I did not mean to cause any harm back then and I now decided that reading diffs is important and you cant just do a repetitive shortcut to find and replace on articles. Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits! 17:30, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Hey! This is Cooldudeseven7 again, and i'm just asking if there is any progress on this Rollback case? Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits! 11:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
I've randomly sampled your recent edits and I'm seeing an unacceptably high number of serious mistakes. In addition to the error above, I found:
  1. Here, you offered poor advice and almost inappropriately moved the page to userspace. Pages like this are not acceptable on Wikipedia, even in the userspace.
  2. Editors may remove warnings from their talk pages at any time, meaning this revert followed by these warnings (1, 2) and subsequent AIV report are extremely inappropriate
  3. I'm not sure why you felt the need to insert a {{Static IP}} template here. Not a helpful edit. Also worth noting that this doesn't belong in a section header, which breaks the page formatting.
I think you need to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works (i.e. quit RC Patrol for now and go make article contributions instead) before applying for advanced permissions. To be clear, RC patrol isn't a race to see who can revert the most edits, so please don't treat it as such. Closing as  Not done. -Fastily 23:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, but am I not allowed to ever submit again because of these or are you just saying wait a bit? Cooldudeseven7 tea talk 00:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
You can resubmit at a later time. I would recommend waiting a good amount of time, addressing comments left above, and making sure you are ready and qualified. You may also want to consider WP:CVSCHOOL, after addressing the feedback above. (Non-administrator comment) Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 13:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

(Trying this again because one of my scripts broke the template)

I have been reverting vandalism and patrolling recent changes for over a month now. The last time my request was declined, I simply hadn't been patrolling for a month at that point, and @Fastily had no other objections. I have consistently warned all vandals I reverted and reported many to AIV. I believe I'm ready to have rollback now. Also note that I am a pending changes reviewer.

Reason for requesting rollback rights Hello, I meet all the requirements and noticed that some articles I have worked on/have an interest in, for example the Husain Al-Musallam page, that are well referenced are being subjected to whitewash editing by multiple accounts, many that have been blocked. Would be helpful to have the rollback tool to efficiently address issues like this. Daftard (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done you shouldn't be using rollback for content disputes, and if an article has been edited by multiple users in a disruptive manner, rollback won't help revert those edits any faster. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

I have been engaging in recent changes patrolling for some time now, so I'd like to request rollback permission primarily to be able to use tools, so that I can patrol more quickly and efficiently. Thanks. From AS-RNY (talk) 14:57, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

No I'm 500+ edits From AS-RNY (talk) 15:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
@From AS-RNY 415 of your 500+ edits are actually from the user namespace. You have 110 edits in the mainspace which is actual articles. TheWikiToby (talk) 16:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 110 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. Of your ~500 edits, 415 are to the user space as User:TheWikiToby noted above, and of those user namespace edits, 399 were to User:From AS-RNY/sandbox. Most of these sandbox edits consist of adding the word hello at a rate of several edits per minute until obtaining WP:XC status, which appears to be a WP:PGAME issue. @From AS-RNY: I think it's best to remove the extended confirmed permission until you have enough experience editing outside of your sandbox before editing in potentially contentious areas that are XC protected.

Noting here that I've removed XC from User:From AS-RNY per my comment on their talk page. - Aoidh (talk) 17:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
