    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.

    Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    (Non-administrator comment) Have the involved parties considered taking the issue to WP:ARBREQ? –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    That is an appalling false equivalence, and would only lend this disruptive IP troll credibility and modicum of respect that they do not deserve. It's one IPv6, Joserobjr, Adpete, and I who have contributed on the talk page. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 16:35, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) You're not doing yourself any favors by directing abuse at other editors ("Bandera apologist neo-fascist") –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:55, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    You're not doing yourself any favors by sidestepping the fact that the only person who has refused to post on the talk page is this IP. Also, conveniently ignoring their astonishing [10] [11] [12] [13] in 42 minutes. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 17:03, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Its a fake claim about "only person". Another persons: [14] [15] 94.178.235.125 (talk) 17:08, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    This is a pathetic non-attempt at deflection. Your first diff is showing a registered user (not yourself) contributing to the discussion, your second only bolsters the case that IPs are the sole source of disruption. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 17:12, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    And that user said: I the person who wanted to include tiebreakers. So you removed the sourced info (and my posts many times), plus huge personal attacks. See: [16] [17] 94.178.235.125 (talk) 17:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. This is definitely the wrong time to remove ECP because of the lockdown. Doug Weller talk 17:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Further information: Wikipedia:Edit requests
    Shortcut

    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.

    Israel–Hamas war

    I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight

    In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance. Apndrew (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gaza genocide

    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[19] 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)[reply]

    Template:Country data Maldives

    Hello, I'm requesting to make some edits on Template:Country data Maldives. In the |link alias-air force=, You should change because it has a page now "MNDF Air Corps", Note: Do not add "Maldives Maldives Air Corps" because per https://mndf.gov.mv/mndf/en/org-structure.php?cmd=air-corps, the official name is "MNDF Air Corps", in that case you should change to link alias-air force = MNDF Air Corps. Also you should change link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps|Maldives Marine Corps to link alias-marines = MNDF Marine Corps because its official name is MNDF Marine Corps, not Maldives Marine Corps. And then link alias-coast guard = Maldivian Coast Guard should be changed to link alias-coast guard = MNDF Coast Guard, the same reason. Thanks.

    ''The Frankfurt School page, the Discussion and the Talk are semi-protected so I could not submit this to the editors.

    The section on Cultural Marxism is extremely slanted, even in the title of that section (which is not linked in the table of contents) it is referred to only as Cultural Marxism Conspiracy Theory. At the very least, that should be edited to Cultural Marxism, in line with the other headings on the page. There is no mention or discussion whatsoever that Cultural Marxism is a political analysis that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a 'far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory', although any history of that certainly can/should be mentioned in this section as well.

    'You should not discount, refuse to note, dismiss or remove a political theory/analysis, just because it has been mentioned or utilized at some time in history or in some form by a far-right or far-left group or because you disagree with it. Cultural Marxism actually needs its own Wiki page', but I think that's a different story. I likely will be applying to edit this page in a few days or write a separate Cultural Marxism one -- I can't seem to find my old Wiki account, so had to create a new one.
