Proboscis monkey/redirects

Unprotection. This page protection was applied in 2007 when this page was at Proboscis monkey. After the page history was moved to the current title, the page protection traveled with the move, when it should not have. Steel1943 (talk) 17:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Haha, wrestling it's so funny. The storyline is Christian Cage is Wayne's new father, so IPs change all the time the name of his real father and we have to revert... a lot. [1] [2] [3] [4] HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:27, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: High level of IP vandalism again and again. Someonewhoisusinginternet (talk) 08:06, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. I'm not convinced that reverts based on "write the article first" is the same as reverting vandalism, given WP:REDYES. Sdrqaz (talk) 16:19, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Prince Louis of Wales

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Disruptive editing and vandalism both. Like his siblings' pages, this page should also be semi-protected to keep it safe from IP users. MSincccc (talk) 11:37, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Another IP has gone ahead of redoing the previous IP's disruptive addition of unsourced edits similar to my last request on November 27. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:36, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

I did add a source. At this point YOU are the one being disruptive. --78.131.72.186 (talk) 18:43, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Here is the source I used. Definitely credible. - 78.131.72.186 (talk) 18:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Not Protected Davud12 (talk) 17:46, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – You are probably referring to sq:Shpella e piratëve (roman), but administrators on the English language Wikipedia have no authority on the Albanian one. Favonian (talk) 18:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Miriam Adelson

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Adelson is a high-profile figure in a number of CTOPS, including American politics and Israel/Palestine. She's in the news due to her pending purchase of a professional sports team in the US, resulting in some disruptive editing and BLP vio. Request ECR protection for 2-4 weeks until news dies down at least. Longhornsg (talk) 03:08, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Added a CTOPS notice to talk page, though. Daniel Case (talk) 19:12, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Sandra Day O'Connor

Temporary semi-protection: BLP policy violations. BangJan1999 17:20, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. It's BRDP now that she's dead, actually. And I don't see enough going on to merit protection. Daniel Case (talk) 19:25, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:36, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Citadel Securities

Reason: There have been multiple attempts to add text to the Citadel Securities page that have been removed by several editors due to incorrect sourcing. This poster also communicated to me directly on my Talk page in language that I find to be inappropriate. I would like to request protection for this page.

Henry Kissinger

Temporary extended confirmed protection or indefinite semi-protection: Protection was raised from indef semi to ECP two days ago and is going to expire in about 20 minutes. Not sure if Ad Orientem is active right now, so please either restore the status quo, or extend ECP (+add a a PC fallback). Page got 3,000,000 views in the first day after his death, so leaving unprotected would be a very bad idea. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Johnny Depp

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Recent multiple vandal edits from various anons - same stupid something about some Russian woman proposing to Depp. Can we PLEASE temporarily protect this page, maybe make it admin only for 12 hour or a day or *something*. Shearonink (talk) 07:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 24 hours, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. This is a bit of a borderline case, but 24 hours of semi-protection seems reasonable. Full protection would be excessive given all of the problematic edits are from IP and non-autoconfirmed. Chetsford (talk) 07:31, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Jimmy Neutron

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – literally nonstop vandalism, would recommend semi protection. 𝑭𝒊𝒍𝒎𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 (talk) 02:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined The article already has PC protection and, given the slow cadence of vandalism (2-3 occurrences weekly), it seems within the ability of the PC reviewers to mitigate. Let me know if I'm missing something, though. Chetsford (talk) 07:35, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: As I feared, the 2-day edit protection would be lifted, following which there would be an onslaught of IP vandalism. If the page could please be protected for an extended period of time. Thank you. MaskedSinger (talk) 15:41, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Mark Ferguson (news presenter)

Reason: There has been a persistent alteration of the spousal information (from Mrs Jayne Ferguson to Dennis Ferguson, a convicted Australian child sex offender who died in 2012.) by 120.19.142.138 on 27 September 2023, 120.17.162.40 on 16 September 2023, and 120.18.61.11 on 6 September 2023. This vandalism is distressing not only to Mr Mark Ferguson but also to his wife. I note the Wikipedia policy is to issue warnings to desist, but this is not practicable with anonymous posts. I respectfully suggest that this page needs to be protected. 

Adamm (talk • contribs) 10:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. The edits in question were added more than a month ago. It WAS unfortunate that it wasn't removed earlier (thank you for taking care of that), but protection is reserved for more ongoing and repetitive problems. Joyous!

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – People can not stop changing birth city. Nswix (talk) 23:24, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

@Nswix: I don't see sufficiently many recent problematic edits to justify protection. If there are several, please identify them. The main problem with this request is that article talk is blank. There should be a polite explanation regarding whatever the problem is. That helps editors and admins here. Johnuniq (talk) 01:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Page's history is full of constant addition of unsourced content by IPs, sockpuppetery and edit warring. Kiu99 (talk) 00:44, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kiu99: Is this an "India vs. Pakistan" issue? I can see there is a problem but the current editor is the only one engaging on article talk and it is hard for someone here to protect without a clear explanation on talk. You don't have to convince the other contributors, but there should be a justification. Johnuniq (talk) 01:45, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Yes, there is long term nationalistic disruption ongoing on multiple food pages like these by this sockpuppet. This page is just one of their recent targets. I've further left a comment on the talk page about the reasons why their editing is disruptive. Kiu99 (talk) 02:47, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
The edit warring has begun again. Kiu99 (talk) 09:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite extended protection: Sockpuppetry. Solomon The Magnifico is using IP addresses to force his version of the article again and again and making large scale changes without talk discussions.

I’m not sure about the IP guy, and I don’t know if there’s any evidence for him being a ban evader, but you have been doing disruptive editing to that page and didn’t even fully address my latest point in the talk page. You took part in edit warring, while I took it to the talk page, I was waiting for your response but you hadn’t responded for three days, during which another editor reverted it back to a Pakistani victory, you then proceeded to revert it AGAIN, without any further discussion, and then only responded to my comment which wasn’t even my main point.

Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:52, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protected indefinitely. And logged at CTOPS. Under ARBPIA, new articles in this topic area are put on indef ECP as soon as we possibly can. This is one of the few areas (besides RUSUKR, AA and some caste articles) where we not only allow pre-emptive protection, we mandate it. Daniel Case (talk) 03:52, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Could you please point me at the decision stating that protection is mandated? Thanks! Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:41, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
See WP:ECR and this section of ARBPIA4 et seq.. Daniel Case (talk) 05:50, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Could you please be more specific? I've read those decisions many times. WP:ECR is clear that this is not required. Similarly, WP:CTOP states that protection falls under the set of page restrictions which may be imposed. I don't see any text specifying that protection is mandated nor do I see anything that overrides WP:PREEMPTIVE. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Since the 50/300 notice has been going on the talk page of all the many newly-created ARBPIA articles since October 7, many admins have been imposing ECP as a matter of course since editors have been requesting it for those articles before any disruption happens. It has been noted that it makes little sense to put up a talk notice and an edit notice saying only 50/300 editors allowed while at the same time not imposing ECR to make sure that happens. And ARBPIA does say that's "preferable". I think it's certainly preferable to having to manually monitor the article's edits to make sure no one who's only autoconfirmed does so much as correct a typo.

And, really, that's not much fairer to editors, either. How many of us regularly check our edit counts before editing? What if we call down the hellfires of a block on someone who edited one of those articles constructively but only had 292 edits at the time they did so? What is the benefit of that to the project? And if we allow that sort of exceptions regularly, how seriously does it look like we don't take our own rules? Better, I think, to just let the software draw and enforce that bright line.

Take a look at the many articles indef-ECPed due to the current conflict; I think you'll find quite a few of them were not being heavily disrupted at the time. You might also want to consider that the ECP, for these articles, is not just about people spitting blood at each other in edit summaries during POV nationalistic edit wars, it reflects the fact in the 2020s we know all too well that sophisticated actors (as on both sides of this conflict) will attempt to use Wikipedia to get their narratives out there, narratives which are probably more than just spin, they are outright fabrication. ECP makes it that much harder for them to do.

I do get the feeling that maybe these practices have created a kind of de facto community sanctions in this topic area, which are allowed to be stricter in some ways than ArbCom's. Daniel Case (talk) 06:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I believe WP:ARBECR is horribly unfair to new editors and poorly designed in general, but I also don't believe ignoring important policies like WP:PREEMPTIVE is the solution. If the intent of WP:ARBECR was to require preemptive page protection, it would not be phrased anywhere near the way it is phrased right now. I think it's best to stick with the policy that works: not protecting pages preemptively. The vast majority of page protection requests for WP:CT/A-I are not submitted preemptively and Wikipedia's self-correcting nature has proven itself capable of handling that.
If you believe that page protection should be more automatic for the WP:CT/A-I topic area, you should request a policy change from the ArbCom rather than attempting to conjure it out of thin air. I think you may be underestimating the impact of such a policy change on WP:RFPPI, though. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:25, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I've also seen the same response for more than a few previous WP:CT/A-I requests including one from you: [19], [20], [21], [22], etc. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:48, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Some of those predate the current conflict, when I felt there was more discretion available across the topic. The Khan Younis one was ... well, I felt at the time that maybe an article about a place, rather than an event, didn't quite meet the "primary" definition, especially since little of the editing at the time was adding anything about the war.

However, an article about one of the abductions that took place on the first day of the war is very much primary. Daniel Case (talk) 07:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

The policies you're citing are clearly written in a way that preserves administrator discretion. I don't think anything has changed that. The Kidnapping of Hersh Goldberg-Polin article hasn't been disrupted a single time in the 17 days since it was created. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 07:41, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Sumar (electoral platform)

Reason: I must bring attention again to the activities of the anonymous IP address 2001:8A0:6A16:8301:9061:C991:6FA1:F594, previously 2001:8A0:6A16:8301:B8C0:BEBC:DE36:4879, and now 2001:8A0:6A16:8301:8D3D:D6FF:5A64:C61D. This "non-user" is engaging in persistent disruptive editing across multiple Wikipedia articles, particularly those related to European left-wing parties and personalities. Their actions, which include the use of Spanish-language unreliable sources and alt-right fake news, as well as engaging in edit wars upon being reverted, have already necessitated the protection of the Sumar (electoral platform) article for 3 days on November 26, 2023 (see: [23]).

Given the ongoing, "spree" nature of this vandalism and the user's disregard for WP:NPOV, WP:EW and source reliability, I am requesting basic protection again for the following articles, at least, to restrict editing to registered accounts:

I appreciate your attention to this matter. MaeseLeon (talk) 21:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

You are deleting links to Sumar votes in the European Parliament that you don't like and to other Wikipedia pages. If anything it's time for you to get the banhammer for constant disruptive ideologically driven vandalism. All my edits are properly sourced, imagine claiming that the Novaya Gazeta is far-right propaganda. Russophile tankies have gonne insane... 2001:8A0:6A16:8301:9061:C991:6FA1:F594 (talk) 21:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
As you can see, now the vandal is also harassing me and also claiming in his edition warring that I am a "radical far-left user that has admitted being affiliated with Sumar", which I am not and have never done, and calling me a "Russophile tankie" (I wonder where or when did I write any "pro-Russian misinformation"), here and in my talk page, in violation of WP:BNBR. Protection against these aggressive far-right IPs is obviously needed. MaeseLeon (talk) 22:17, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
As you can see this user keeps insisting that edits that I made backed by sources such as the Novaya Gazeta and others are "far-right", Wikipedia has a serious problem dealing with pro-russian misinformation. My edits on the Portuguese and Greek Communist parties are clearly sourced with one of the very few independent media in Russia that studied their voting record in detail from 2019 to 2023 in the European Parliament. In fact I had to act in the Portuguese Communist Party's page because the section about the party's reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine was being vandalised. Yet you accused me of being "far-right" for that. Again just shows that you are an ideologically driven vandal that adds no value to this website.

Reason: Conflict of Interest, and the editor of the page violates the community standards described in policies and guidelines. GithubLab (talk) 23:28, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Objection: Hell no. How would lowering the protection level fix that claimed issue? Also, roughly 14 editors have edited the page in the last week, so "the editor of the page" is factually incorrect, there is no "ownership" of that page, and most of those repeat editing editors often appear to discuss issues on the talk page seeking consensus. Which specific "community standards described in policies and guidelines" are being violated? This sounds like a lot of flimflam hand-waving to me. Very curious that this request is your first edit and curious why this page is of interest to you. Zinnober9 (talk) 23:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
Not unprotected. Please contact the protecting administrator with details of said conflict of interest first. However, unless there is concrete evidence, I doubt a removal of protection would be useful. Maybe semi-protection one day ... Sdrqaz (talk) 00:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israel–Hamas war

I would like to request that "making this the deadliest war for children in modern times" be removed from the lead for failing verification. Of the four citations appended to that sentence only the article from Al-Jazeera addresses that claim, said article makes clear that more children have died in other modern conflicts, specifically in Syria and in Afghanistan, and the phrasing seems to be based off of an assumption from the article headline that is not explicitly stated in the article's text. More than that the sentence itself is unclear as it doesn't distinguish what timeframe encompasses "modern times". Either way for the verification problem it's unfit for the article and the sentence should simply end after stating the number of children killed. XeCyranium (talk) 00:09, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Removed malformed wikilink (squiggly brackets are for templates). It duplicated the link of the subheader, and was causing Multiline HTML table in list errors. No other action taken, leaving request for another user to consider. Zinnober9 (talk) 00:37, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing that. XeCyranium (talk) 02:13, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

An additional source (ITV) has been added which states in its own voice "Gaza has become, in just one month, the deadliest conflict for children this century.." which would seem to resolve the issue.Selfstudier (talk) 19:51, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I appreciate that, thank you. Though I would be somewhat concerned about including it if the Al-Jazeera source came to a different conclusion, though not having seen the other maybe it's just a difference in when they were published. XeCyranium (talk) 21:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
I'm sorry but after reading that source I still think the claim as it stands in the article should be phrased differently to align with the source. The ITV source says it is deadliest modern conflict in how quickly children have been killed. I feel like if it's left at "deadliest" without qualifier it's akin to saying this conflict has caused the greatest number of child deaths, not that the rate of death is higher than in previous conflicts. Hopefully with the truce there won't be any more deaths and it can remain below being the deadliest in terms of numbers. XeCyranium (talk) 21:55, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
That would be too much detail for a lead sentence and we shouldn't include lengthy quotes in the lead either. I could add a quotation to the ref if you like, then it would at least be in popup. Selfstudier (talk) 13:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
I think the statement as it stands now is reflective of the sources attached. XeCyranium (talk) 23:35, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Although this request required thorough review of available sources, it appears that the request fails with a  Not done since the ITV source supports the claim strongly. (Al Jazeera sources also says the statement, however, its title suggests it being more like an opinion for some readers.) Toadette (Happy holiday!) 16:15, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Infobox casualties made from unreliable source

"The Palestinian death toll from Israeli ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip has climbed to more than 15,000 since Oct. 7 after dozens of them were recovered from under the rubble or evacuated from the streets, the Government Media Office (GMO) revealed in a press conference on Monday evening."

This source quotes Hamas authorities directly via their "GMO". In addition the source site has been considered " the leading gateway site in Hamas' online propaganda network of twenty websites. They argue that the PIC's content and news coverage is primarily oriented towards Hamas's ideology and history.[2]". Source, Mozes, Tomer; Weimann, Gabriel (2010). "The E-Marketing Strategy of Hamas". Studies in Conflict & Terrorism. 33 (3): 213–214. doi:10.1080/10576100903555762. S2CID 111124697.

The number of civilian Palestinian dead in the infobox must be given reliable and neutral sources (that means nothing originating from Hamas statements) or it should be removed entirely. Adonnus (talk) 08:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Between 7 October and 19 November, over 12,700 fatalities were reported by the Gaza MoH, which then stopped reporting directly due to the collapse of many hospitals. Since then, the Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) reported more than 2,300 additional fatalities, bringing the cumulative toll to over 15,000 by 2 December, including 6,150 children and more than 4,000 women. The GMO’s methodology is not known."
These are the best figures available, the Gaza MoH figures were considered as generally reliable until they were unable to provide figures due to Israeli attacks. Personally I don't believe that we should just stop reporting these figures in the absence of evidence that they are unreliable and the 13 year old source given is not such evidence.
In any event, this is a matter for resolution by consensus and that is not going to happen here. It will need to be raised by an EC editor and resolved there. Selfstudier (talk) 10:18, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
"These are the best figures available, the Gaza MoH figures were considered as generally reliable until they were unable to provide figures due to Israeli attacks. Personally I don't believe that we should just stop reporting these figures in the absence of evidence"
The Ministry of Health is staffed and run by Hamas. Putting evidence in because there is nothing else, when the objectivity and neutrality of that source cannot be established, is a very bad idea.
As for "generally reliable": you would have to establish that too. Here are some basic criticisms.
United States National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby said the White House will not use “numbers put out by an organization that’s run by a terrorist organization.” Luke Baker, a former Reuters Jerusalem bureau chief warned that “Hamas has a clear propaganda incentive to inflate civilian casualties as much as possible.” He added that “Any health official
stepping out of line and not giving the death tolls that Hamas wants reported to journalists risks serious consequences.”
I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war. … I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.
— President Joe Biden, remarks at the White House, October 25, 2023
From WaPo:
"The most widely quoted media source on casualties in Gaza is the health minister, Ashraf al-Kidra, who gathers his numbers from local hospitals in real time. Kidra, whose main office is at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, generates his figures with the help of aides who sit in front of computers with phones and lists. One reporter describes Kidra, who produced casualty counts in the two previous Gaza conflicts, as “the only game in town.”"
So the numbers are all coming from him. A guy who is in the Hamas government. But what's his record?
https://english.alarabiya.net/perspective/analysis/2014/08/08/In-Gaza-dispute-over-civilian-vs-combatant-deaths
Al-Kidra sits in an office at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital and receives casualty reports from hospitals and emergency services. Throughout the day, he frequently updates the figures on the ministry website and takes calls from reporters.
On Friday, his overall toll since July 8 stood at 1,902 dead, including at least 450 children and 243 women. Al-Kidra uses a very broad definition of civilians, saying the term applies to anyone who has not been claimed by one of the armed groups as a member.
Not remotely reliable enough to include especially without clarifying that these numbers are not well established or objective. Adonnus (talk) 01:50, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Much Loved

Reason: This article has been targeted for months now by a troll with alternating IP addresses. He's seemingly obsessed with imputing an unsimulated sex scene to the lead actress of the film. This is not supported by his sources and the cited IMDb is not a reliable source anyway as anyone can edit it. I'm getting tired of fending this off alone again and again.

Sam Chui

Reason: There is a consensus within the Aviation content creation community that Sam Chui is the recipient of financial "gifts" in exchange for positive commentary on Emirates Airlines — specifically, content creators that are independent, and do not receieve compensation from airlines; there is a strong argument to be made that these individuals constitute journalists, and thus, referencing their videos wherein they discuss Chui's bribery is *not* an unreliable source.

There is an IP user (50.158.149.57) who is *very* keen to ensure Sam Chui's presentation appears positive, likely working at the behest of Chui. See editing history by User: Leohasaewaccount who admitted that he is editing on behalf of Sam Chui.

It is important that readers understand that Sam Chui's remarks ought to be taken with a pinch of salt, given the strong evidence of bribery; hence, such an inclusion is not in violation of WP:CRITS Lucafrost (talk) 12:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. This can't be solved via protection. It has to be decided if " circulating rumours" with "alleged censorship" only sourced to a Youtube video are worthy of inclusion, conflict of interest or no.

With all due respect, does the page really not seem to you as if there is not a high level of vandalism? Maybe not as high as political topics or highly trafficed pages, but nearly every edit to the page is made by vandals. Just since you issued this denial, there has been another vandal edit on the page. At what rate of vandal edits per week and percentage would constitute a sufficiently high level?

Reason: Semi-protected was requested but for the opposite reason it should have been.

Talk:2023 Israel–Hamas war

My request concerns the claim about this being "the deadliest war for children this century." According to this article, about 6,000 children have been killed in the Israel-Hamas War. According to the page about the Myanmar Civil War (2021-present), about 13,000 children have been killed in that conflict. Given these numbers at face value, the Myanmar Civil War is indeed deadlier for children than the Israel-Hamas War. Therefore, the Israel-Hamas War cannot definitively be called "the deadliest war for children this century". Alexshkhtmn (talk) 22:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 Not done This sentence has been discussed extensively (including here, here, here, and most recently, here), and consensus ultimately favoured inclusion.
If you look at this source, which is cited in-line, you'll find that the war is described as "the deadliest conflict for children this century in terms of how quickly so many young lives are being lost." That is, the rate of deaths for children is exceptionally, notably high. The Myanmar Civil War has been ongoing since May, 2021, and 13,000 children have been killed. This is, of course, a horrific humanitarian tragedy. But, to put it coldly, it amounts to a rate of approximately 13-14 per day. The 2023 Gaza war started in early October, and the number of fatalities reached 6,000—that is, 136 per day, according to ITV, and that was as of Nov. 12.

2023 Israel–Hamas war

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said earlier today that “1.9 million out of the 2.2 million Palestinians have been displaced..."

This comes from someone with a high enough authority in the UN to be considered a legitimate position, and has been reported on by an RS.

Declined 1RR imposed, and logged over at CTOPS. I find that much better than full protection would be since imposing that would mean ECP would have to be reimposed afterwards (and that's the way it would have to be since we can't multi-protect yet) and that means there's a 50 percent chance someone forgets to it, something we cannot afford on an article so central to the contention in a contentious topic as this one.

There have already been five previous attempts at protection in the last two years, the most recent for six months. Currently, there is a fast cadence of vandalism and disruptive edits that would overwhelm the PC reviewers.

Murder of Lee Rigby

Temporary full protection: Week's protection please against drive-by new accounts & IPs.

There's an unsourced rumour on Twitter that the murderer has just been stabbed and killed in prison. It's inevitable that editors will try to add that here, and there's nothing like sourcing to back it up as yet. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:33, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Balapur

Reason: Please increase the protection of the page. It is again getting vandalised by removing cited information without even providing edit summary. The talk section concluded the issue, still getting vandalised. Imperial[AFCND] 05:17, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

United States invasion of Panama

Reason: Repeated vandalism by a user at IP address 188.136.9.19 who keeps adding "involvement" of Axis military units from World War II into the infobox of the US invasion of Panama of 1989-1990, as well as the "involvement" of the UK and Canada on the side of dictator Noriega. Daemonfc (talk) 01:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. @Daemonfc: The IP only has two sets of edits and they were on 7 December 2023. If it is repeated, please put a polite and brief explanation of why it is inappropriate on article talk and try to engage the IP there. After that, let me know if wanted.

Comment: "Protection is working" doesn't seem like a good reason to unprotect. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 04:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Not unprotected. The article is only pending-change protected, which means anyone can edit it including anonymous IP addresses. Some anonymous vandalism was reverted just a few weeks ago, which shows how useless pending-change protection actually is at preventing vandalism. The premise of this request is also incorrect: Vandalism is more prevalent now than ever before. No valid reason has been given to change the protection settings. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Pink Friday 2

Temporary semi-protection: Vandalism, blanking from new and unregistered editors. Ss112 04:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined @Ss112: There are an enormous number of recent edits there. I had to go back 60 or so before seeing blanking and one was done by an auto-confirmed editor who seems to think that the text violated WP:CRYSTAL (although they didn't mention that). There is nothing recent on talk. Please post again with some details of problems (should be WP:VAND issues) that would be solved by semi-protection. Johnuniq (talk) 06:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: The page do not need protection since page is locked with false information. For example information about sukhdev singh gogamedi is written false and then news article added as reference are naming SUKHDOOL singh who is diffrent person so this need to update Ajaysingh009 (talk) 09:37, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Adding content that does not even relate to the etymology, persistent reverting and new IPs and users coming out of the woodwork. AlexBachmann (talk) 23:12, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Just for the record: the WP:STABLE version has been achieved through consensus. The etymology and the phonetical development are a clear scholarly consensus, with not a single reliable source contradicting it. Users are misinterpreting the content, thinking those sources are arguing for an Albanian etymology. AlexBachmann (talk) 23:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
I would not necessarily call the edits vandalism, but I agree that temporary semi-protection would be useful. One editor was edit warring, was given a CTOP alert and was warned about 1RR, and then an IP appeared...—Alalch E. 23:19, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – An anonymous editor has persistently changed the image of this page to one of a woman with steatopygia.

Not done. Full protection would be overkill and we'd also have the issue that semi-protection would be lost once the higher level of protection expired.

Liz Magill

Reason: The narrative is factually incorrect and locked. The author imparts their own spin non the event that began the subjects trouble; namely, an event call Palestine Writes. That event was reported to be shut down because it included rabidly anti-Jewish speakers and writers. Then it was [ermitted to go forth despite assurances otherwise. The events that led to her resignation, the permissibility of anti-Jewish hate speech and anti-semitism were not "alleged" as the writer so gently puts it. Vocally advocating for people's erasure, for the elimination of Israel and any of its supporters, harassment of students who were Jewish on campus by students and professors alike, was not 'alleged'. This should not be left in place and locked. 23Verity (talk) 23:09, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hurricane Dorian

Reason: This page has been protected many years ago and the risk of vandalism seems low. Besides, many IPs are trying to propose edits but cannot do so because they can’t phrase an edit request exactly the way it’s required, and unprotecting would allow them to edit the page directly. It’s been many years since it was protected, so we can unprotect and if vandalism resumes reprocect. 47.23.40.14 (talk) 16:59, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

  • Comment: while this does look like a reasonable candidate for unprotection (it's been nearly two years since it was indefinitely protected!), I'd request that you first raise the issue with the protecting admin (@MelanieN) on their talk page, per the policy described above. Thanks! —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:13, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Unprotecting a page with indefinite semi-protection or indefinite ECP is pretty much asking for trouble; chances are disruption would quickly resume, and any constructive IP edits would get overshadowed by the bad ones. Not a risk worth taking no matter how long ago the protection was and they're better off submitting edit requests on the talk page. Maybe someone could give tips on how to format such requests.

  • Looking at the edit history, I do see the non stop history of vandalism, but looking at the talk page and the edit requests it seems likely that the constructive edit requests that we’re rejected for being unspecific could be made. I literally made it as clear as possible and it was still rejected, so unprotection seems like the best option. Also - articles that are on indef ECP tend to be due to ArbCom enforcement. 166.198.251.71 (talk) 15:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

This article did have a lot of problem edits two years ago and had been protected numerous times. An attempt was made at PC protection but it didn't work. I semi-protected it indefinitely in January 2022. There continues to be fairly heavy editing, which mostly appears to be minor and not controversial or problematic. The talk page is rarely used (and requests there to add information always seem to be batted down, but that's another issue). Unprotecting it might in fact lead to improvements in the article. I will go ahead and remove the protection. Let me know if problems develop. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:55, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Requesting ECC protection, at least for a while such as a month. The page is under relentless attack by a new user who falsely claims that sources don't exist and that a common geographical practice never happens. Personally I think this is an ARBPIA issue since this type of obsession with the words Palestine and Palestinian only arises in that context whether or not it is expicitly mentioned.

Daniel Quinlan, I'm aware of the LTA in question (which is why I increased from 2 weeks to 3 months, skipping some intermediate steps). On the one hand, Knotts is not a BLP.

Considering the disruption started back up after the last protection lapsed and that the disruption has been from an IP-hopper (neither of whose last addresses are presently blocked) this is flatly incorrect and the disruption would almost certainly recur.

Triple J Hottest 100, 2014

Reason: Vandalism from a varying IP address that has been going on for years. The person, bizarrely, always changes the list to a different, made-up version, replacing some of the songs with ones that didn't make the actual top 100. Here is their latest edit and here is the actual list on the radio station's official site. They used to do the same thing frequently with the 2013 article, which I got semi-protected once in 2020, but nowadays they seem to stick to 2014. I think it should be semi-protected for a while.

Bernadette Giacomazzo

Reason: The user, Receiptz4Dayz, has been attempting to vandalize both this page and Angela Davis (chef)'s page. The woman, Britney Roberts of Fort Worth, Texas, has been consistently and persistently harassing both women on behalf of her "coalition" of Natalie Whittingham Burrell (a public defender in Prince George County, MD), LaVell Baker (an unemployed event planner in Atlanta), and Melenese Ford (an unemployed jewelry designer in Atlanta). The police have been involved in this matter, as has the FBI, and proof of this can be provided upon request. Britney Roberts has impersonated attorneys, morticians, and policemen in her varied attempts at harassment. She is a danger to herself and the community, and her behavior must not be allowed to extend to Wikipedia. (If a protection isn't possible, then a banning of her account from Wikipedia should be the least that can be done.) 67.87.206.69 (talk) 19:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

User(s) blocked: Receiptz4Dayz (talk · contribs) blocked by Daniel Case. from editing both articles indefinitely. That is, I think, the most I can do as a volunteer administrator of the site based on a report making allegations like this from an anonymous editor. I very strongly recommend you contact the Foundation's legal department at legal@wikimedia.org. They can discuss this in greater detail and take more decisive action, if they feel it necessary, than I feel I can at the moment. Daniel Case (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

The warnings are a prerequisite for the reporting to an appropriate noticeboard, like the linked AIV above; this will then probably lead to a block. We don't lock an entire page, be it article or talk-page, to prevent just one single IP to edit it. Lectonar (talk) 12:30, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

In the List of country calling codes article, can someone fix Puerto Rico in the alphabetical list please? it says "1 (787, 930)" but it should be "1 (787, 939)", which it is in the "ordered by world zone" section. +1 930 is used for south Indiana, USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_codes_812_and_930

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing – Despite the bans and page protection, the person remains committed to removing Noktundo from List of Territorial Dispute (removing all mentions of it) despite repeated disprovings of their argument. They have offered at maximum one source or so, and are engaging in a significant POV push, disregarding opposition from multiple editors.

Racial classification of Indian Americans

Temporary semi-protection Page has received repeated IP vandalism throughout 2023: 30 November, 8 October, 6 October, 2 August, 3 May, 1 February. Most vandalism was detected and reverted by users. However, the most recent instance went unnoticed. Page was previously semi-protected on March 19, 2022, for 6 months which served as a useful deterant. Requesting 12 months, or permanent Semi-Protection going forward. Protection above Semi-Protection is not requested as all vandalism appears to be from IP addresses, possibly the same user. AmericanHistorian (talk) 00:30, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

@AmericanHistorian: I can believe the article gets bad edits but I've looked at a few, including the IP from 30 November 2023, and I don't see any that fit WP:VAND. Can you give a couple of diffs and mention a couple of words we can search for to see the problem? There is nothing recent on talk. Johnuniq (talk) 06:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
@Johnuniq:The edits are riddled in dated scientific racism and efforts at whitewashing history. It appears to be the same user, as the edits are essentially seeking to do the same thing. The material is cited but presented in a way that vastly distorts the meaning behind the publications. Past semi-protection resulted in constructive edits. Would strongly urge semi-protection at the very least to prevent edit wars and the constant monitoring of the page. AmericanHistorian (talk) 06:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
@AmericanHistorian: Sorry but people making requests have to do more of the work. I looked on article talk to see if there was an explanation. I believe what you're saying but distorting meaning is run-of-the-mill POV editing that is not WP:VAND. If there has been a previous discussion showing the problem, mention that on article talk with a diff of recent edits and a brief explanation of what words show the problem to help ignorant admins here. FYI I was not notified because a ping has to be in a new comment with a new signature (WP:PING). Johnuniq (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson

Reason: Disruptive editing, vandalism, and content dispute on a General Sanctioned topic. The editor may also have been canvassed or is engaged in canvassing other people here for Wikipedia and in reddit. They are also engaged in spreading my username and making grandiose claims about my edits on social media like this. I also have suspicions about this IP address A, also editing per the request of this user. TruthGuardians (talk) 15:23, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined Since you have opened an AN/I on this, we should defer to that. This seems a lot more complicated than is within the usual scope of this page (particularly given the allegations of off-wiki coordination), and within that scope the disruption is hardly enough to justify protection. More importantly, Bhdshoes, who seems to be your main antagonist, is also extended-confirmed so nothing short of a full protection would have any effect ... and I don't think you want that, as you wouldn't be able to edit either. Nor has the disruption come anywhere near what we've seen on pages we've full-protected.

This request really feels like forum shopping, to be honest. Daniel Case (talk) 19:42, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

The request is a way to keep a well-meaning Wikipedian (me, if I do say so myself!) from including important well-sourced material on the page that "TruthGuardians" thinks is "unfair to Michael." Please see the talk page of that page for more detail. What is an AN/| and can i get a link to defend myself as clearly "TruthGuardians" is on a bit of a quest.

Template:Ir-Money

Unprotection: Un-move protection; no reason to restrict moving this template to admins only. It was thus protected in 2012 after zero (0) page moves were performed, so it is hard to see how keeping this page move protected is A Good Thing.

Reggaeton

Add the following to the "Lyrics and theme" section:

The themes of reggaeton frequently revolve around three prominent locations: "la disco" (the discotheque), "el barrio" (the neighborhood), and "la calle" (the street). These locations serve as crucial settings for storytelling, self-expression, and social commentary within the genre.

More than a quarter of reggaeton songs explicitly mention "la disco" or "la pista de baile" (the dance floor). The disco represents more than just a venue for dancing and sexual expression; it becomes a space to prove one's rapping skills, showcase conquests, and assert one's masculinity. It serves as an escape from the harsh realities of the barrio, offering a temporary respite from everyday problems. In reggaeton lyrics, the disco is portrayed as a place to levitate above societal judgments, especially for those labeled as unviable or threatening by Puerto Rican society. The night, as a predominant temporal-spatial element in reggaeton, symbolizes the unfolding of the disco and the streets coming alive. This setting provides an opportunity for free expression and reflection, often delving into serious social topics such as violence and sex. The disco, both visually and lyrically, remains a central motif in reggaeton videos, encapsulating the essence of Puerto Rico's urban experience.

The barrio, caserío, or residencial form the second most prevalent thematic space in reggaeton lyrics. Approximately a quarter of reggaeton songs mention these neighborhood cues, emphasizing the artists' connection to their roots and the everyday realities of urban life. Regardless of their specific upbringing—whether in public housing, barrios, or urbanizaciones—reggaetoneros often hail from neighborhoods characterized by decreased socioeconomic means. The lyrical representation of the barrio serves as a legitimizing agent for reggaeton artists, reflecting the intimate link between their identity and the neighborhoods they describe. The visual representation, however, has evolved over time, with newer videos often showcasing aesthetically pleasing sceneries rather than gritty urban realities. This disjuncture between lyrical and visual representations highlights the contested nature of the barrio, challenging negative caricatures and promoting a more nuanced understanding of Puerto Rico's diverse neighborhoods.

Approximately 22 percent of reggaeton songs explicitly mention "la calle," portraying the street as a requisite spatial entity for the genre. The street becomes a metaphor for authenticity in reggaeton, emphasizing the importance of being "real," honest, and sincere. This spatial identity is intimately linked to the everyday experiences of the poor, grounding their legitimacy and authenticity. In reggaeton, the street is not merely a physical space but a symbolic representation of the public sphere where social and professional interactions occur. The genre's dependence on the street aligns with the artists' belief in the transparency and honesty found in informal public spaces. As reggaeton evolves, some lament a perceived move away from the street culture of doing business, emphasizing the genre's roots in the raw, unfiltered experiences of urban Puerto Rico.

2023 Israel–Hamas war

According to Al-Jazeera, "Amnesty International has thanked progressive US Senator Bernie Sanders for introducing a little-used “privileged resolution” seeking information on Israel’s human rights record in the occupied Palestinian territories amid the war in Gaza."

...

"According to reports, Sanders’s resolution is privileged, which means he can force the Senate to hold a vote and if the resolution is passed, the US State Department has 30 days to respond with a statement on Israel’s human rights practices."

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/12/15/israel-hamas-war-live-us-shifts-tone-but-says-israel-support-steadfast

The privileged resolution was not specified, but is consistent with a Section 502B(c) request.

Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) prohibits security assistance to “any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.” 22 U.S.C. § 2304(a).

Any member of Congress can introduce a single-chamber resolution requesting a report from the Secretary of State regarding human rights or other concerns in a particular country. See 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c). Such a resolution is privileged in the Senate according to the expedited procedures of the International Security and Arms Export Control Act (ISAECA).

If the Secretary of State fails to provide a report within thirty days, “no security assistance shall be delivered to such country except as may thereafter be specifically authorized by law from such country unless and until such statement is transmitted.” 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(3). After receiving a 502B(c) report from the Secretary of State, Congress may “adopt a joint resolution terminating, restricting, or continuing security assistance” to the country in question. 22 U.S.C. § 2304(c)(4).

This resolution would represent unprecedented oversight action by a U.S. member of Congress into Israel's human rights record, in connection with which federal aid to Israel may be rescinded if human rights abuses are found.

Therefore, I request that it be added to the article especially given the months long, high profile news coverage and historical value of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the resolution's potential ramifications in US-Israel relations, and possible change in U.S. policy rooted in explicitly applying Section 502B and 502B(c) legal provisions to make foreign aid to Israel conditional and contingent on abiding by applicable human rights laws.

Israel-Hamas War

Consideration should be given to the following:

1) adding the United States as a co-belligerent with Israel;

2) Changing the title of the article to read: "2023 Israeli destruction of Gaza and its civilians" since that is now, after several months since the article was titled, the accurate description. See: https://theintercept.com/2023/12/11/israel-hamas-war-civilians-biden/

3) Adding the following information to support request Nos. 1 and 2 and to more fully develop the article. This text is as follows:

The United States has sent unconditional aid in the form of money and military arms to Israel that it is using in its destruction of Gaza, its infrastructure and its citizenry.

From the outset, the U.S. has met with Israeli leaders and approved its intended actions. The Biden administration and U.S. Congress knew or reasonably should have known that U.S. aid and military support would further Israel's Dahiye doctrine, causing unfathomable civilian death and permanent disability to Palestinian residents of Gaza.

Fifteen years ago, "[i]n the beginning of October 2008, the Commanding Officer of the IDF's Northern Command, Maj. General Gadi Eisenkott, gave an interview to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, in which he unveiled what he called the "Dahiye Doctrine": "What happened in the Dahiye Quarter of Beirut in 2006, will happen in every village from which shots are fired on Israel. We will use disproportionate force against it and we will cause immense damage and destruction. From our point of view these are not civilian villages but military bases. This is not a recommendation, this is the plan, and it has already been authorized." [1]

"At the same time Eisenkott made this statement, two months before Operation Cast Lead, the Institute for National Security Studies, a think-tank at the Tel Aviv University which reflects the mainstream of Israeli military thinking, published an article by Dr. Gabriel Siboni, a colonel in IDF reserves. The article's title was: "Disproportionate Force: Israel’s Concept of Response in Light of the Second Lebanon War". In the article Siboni expresses an identical approach to that of Eisenkott, which he relates in greater detail: "With an outbreak of hostilities, the IDF will need to act immediately, decisively, and with force that is disproportionate to the enemy's actions and the threat it poses... In a subsequent paragraph Siboni makes it clear that: "This approach is applicable to the Gaza Strip as well." [2]

[Military correspondent] Alon Ben-David admitted: "Israel isn't trying to hide the fact that it reacts disproportionately".[3]

In the aftermath, a U.N. mission found that, inter alia, "[I]srael imposed a blockade [of Gaza] amounting to collective punishment and carried out a systematic policy of progressive isolation and deprivation of the Gaza Strip. During the military operation, houses, factories, wells, schools, hospitals, police stations and other public buildings were destroyed, with families, including the elderly and children, left living amid the rubble of their former dwellings long after the attacks ended, as no reconstruction has been possible due to the continuing blockade. Significant trauma, both immediate and long-term, has been suffered by the population of Gaza. More than 1400 people were killed."

The outcomes in this case are strikingly similar, but on a much more profound scale, presenting an existential, yet entirely predictable, threat to Palestinian culture and survival itself. In fact, in the opinion of several experts, including Israeli, the murder of so many residents of Gaza, among other atrocities perpetrated by Israel in their 2023 bombardment, constitute genocide. [4]

In 2011, human rights and international law expert Richard Falk wrote that under the Dahiye doctrine, "the civilian infrastructure of adversaries such as Hamas or Hezbollah are treated as permissible military targets which is not only an overt violation of the most elementary norms of the law of war and of universal morality, but an avowal of a doctrine of violence that needs to be called by its proper name: state terrorism." [5]

Nevertheless, as the Gazan civilian death toll has spiraled week by week following Israel's invasion and its lead up, The U.S. has vetoed and/or voted against each and every resolution to call for a ceasefire. Recently, although the Biden administration public "tone" has changed its actions speak to a different reality, which can be reasonably interpreted as prevarications and doublespeak. To wit, the U.S. again recently voted against a ceasefire before the U.N. as Gazans faces death not only from bombs and bullets but from starvation and disease. In the meantime, the U.S. House of Representatives had earlier approved a 14.3 billion dollar aid package, about 4.5 times the usual U.S. yearly allocation to Israel, all to promote in significant part Israel's war against unarmed Palestinian civilians, separate from its operations against Hamas. [6]

Additionally, U.S. has recently ramped up military support [7]. Biden is in the process of trying to authorize the funding of over 100 million of "emergency" military aid to Israel. [8]

The U.S. is an belligerent in the conflict, actively aiding Israel at all phases unconditionally, and in profound myriad ways including coordination, messaging [9], disinformation [10], voting against a ceasefire, and enhanced financial and military support, which go far beyond mere support.

I'd say the first one is a not done. The US is not a co-belligerent. Although the US does indeed have an alliance with Israel and fund their military, they are not at war, in fact Israel themselves are simply at war with Hamas the terrorist group in charge of Gaza, but not the PA/PLO which might more rightly be considered a Palestinian state-in-waiting per se. The US isn't a party to a war any more than they are in the Ukraine, where this is perenniallly rejected as a proposal. And number 2 is a  Not done on the basis of NPOV.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom IIs on display

Reason: This article was fully move-protected in 2009 for move warring (log). Since then it was moved twice upon request, and there has now been a new RM with consensus to move it again. I have made a request at WP:RMT already but I feel like this 14-year-old protection can simply be removed, I don't think there's much risk of move warring any more. No discussion with protecting admin because they are no longer active.

You might also want to remove the leftover protection from the old redirect List of surviving F-4 Phantom IIs while you're at it. BegbertBiggs (talk) 23:50, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined, Given the long history of problems and the fact that it was just moved again this month, the likelihood of problem is higher than normal right now. I would say ask again in 6 months, to give time to let the new name settle in. Leaving the protection doesn't limit anyone in any way when it comes to editing.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Multiple IPs and sock puppets adding a film project (a film called Toxic) to the filmography table even though filming has not yet begun. WP:FILMOGRAPHY says "Do not add future film projects until filming has begun as verified by a reliable source." While the additions are being reverted, it is turning into an edit war and I'm all out of reverts. Requesting ECP as some of the accounts adding the film are already autoconfirmed. BTW, I don't think these are bad-faith additions, as many editors do not know about this guideline. I explained to one editor and they self-reverted, but they turned out to be socking.

Talk:2023 Israel–Hamas war

The article currently says:
Immediately following the surprise attack, the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes that they said targeted Hamas compounds, command centers, tunnels, and other strategic targets.
And then there are three sources referenced.
The word "strategic" implies to me (who is not well-rounded in war theory or history) strategic bombing, as opposed to tactical bombing. I can't say I read every single word in the referenced articles, but I couldn't find any info to support a claim of strategic bombing. The closest thing I found was that a building hosting most of Gaza City's internet service providers has been destroyed.

In addition, the word "immediately" does not seem right here. I think the first Israeli airstrike was on October 9? Torr3 (talk) 22:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

 Not done the adjective "strategic" is being used to describe the targets, and not the bombing or the bombs. As far as a source for "strategic targets", here's one from Haaretz. [45] Andre🚐 06:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
@Andrevan: we had an edit conflict, and I have already removed the words "strategic" and "immediate". Their removal does not change the meaning of the sentence and makes it a bit more concise. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:16, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israel–Hamas war

What: Remove the following sentence from the lede: The total includes an unknown, but significant number of deaths from friendly fire.

Why: The notion of a "significant" quantity of casualties from friendly fire in October 7 is currently largely uncorroborated by most reliable sources on the topic. Friendly fire happens in every conflict, and it's likely to have happened in October 7 as well, but claims about its relative significance to the total casualty number appear virtually nowhere else and remains firmly speculative and without basis in evidence.

As such, until things change, I believe that including in the lede speculations about the significance of the friendly fire in October 7 is WP:UNDUE. eyal (talk) 07:17, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Reason: Persistent edit-warring and disruptive editing on a contentious topic article. Most of the disruption is coming from two new users and a not so new user (but luckily the latter user is on a month long ban right now) so extended confirmed protection could significantly decrease the disruptions, at least temporarily. Otherwise, we might need to implement WP:1RR, but I hope that would only be done as a last resort. Prcc27 (talk) 01:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Noktundo

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing – Requesting Long Term protection of Noktundo, it has been a target of persistent disruptive editing and vandalism on both this page as well as the Talk pages of Talk:Noktundo and Talk:List of territorial disputes. It has been the target now of a nearly three month campaign by various anonymous IPs to remove its existence

[50] [51] [52]

The IPs had been called up for an ANI notice due to various reasons (disruptive editing, insulting users, etc) but they never responded, it can be found here: [53]

Various editors were in agreement that the IP was breaking Wikipedia's rules and also bludegeoning the whole issue [54] [55]

Noktundo's talk page looked like this before I had to request page protection [56], I am requesting long term page protection now for the Noktundo page itself as the person remains dedicated to the vandalism and the one month long page protection requests have not been enough to discourage them from returning.

Declined because there is at present no way to layer any full protection temporarily without eliminating the underlying ECP entirely, and I'd rather not inadvertently leave an article already subject to additional restrictions, an article that would be sensitive and contentious under the best of circumstances but is even more so now, completely unprotected. If we had to go anywhere from where we are now, 0RR would be it.

But honestly, I don't see the need yet. One of the big reverts recently was an editor self-reverting due to a mistake that would otherwise have been a 1RR vio that he copped to on the talk page without prompting or animosity. And besides that there hasn't been too much, and the most recent discussions on the talk page, talking about the talk page, are as civil and collegial as we'd like them to be in this situation.

Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. I urge User:Bennyaha to read the protection policy. According to the policy, duration of protection is to be kept as short as possible; the emphasis always should be in favor of allowing IP editors to make useful contributions and in opposition to preventing all IPs from editing (except and when all IP contributions are disruptive) AND THEN only for the briefest periods (with escalating longer regimes of page protection if required). For the record, this episode of increased IP vandalism started just a week or so ago. BusterD (talk) 17:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israel–Hamas war

Reason: I and others cannot raise important discussions points on the talk page. One pertains to whether the United States in a neutral, or a co-belligerent, in the War.

The U.S. at present is presumed to be a neutral state.

However, under the applicable neutrality laws, a neutral country must treat the opposing belligerent States impartially. Hague Convention V, Arts. 5 & 10, https://www.icrc.org/en/doc/assets/files/other/law8_final.pdf (Source: International Committee of the Red Cross)

A change in commercial and/or financial relationships could constitute taking sides inconsistent with the status of neutrality. Recently, U.S. House approved an aid package over 4x the usual annual foreign aid amount in response to the War. https://apnews.com/article/house-israel-aid-ukraine-republicans-biden-gaza-b7bfe528b12ac5954cfd5c034f11320d; and https://www.icrc.org/en/doc/assets/files/other/law8_final.pdf (pg. 5)

The Senate is expected to pass it; the point of contention is not the enhanced aid package to Israel but the inclusion of aid to Ukraine (Source: various media outlets)

A neutral State must never assist a party to the armed conflict, in particular it must not supply warships, ammunition or other war materials directly or indirectly to a belligerent power. Hague Convention XIII, Art. 6 See above link, which includes weapons and war material.

Additionally, Biden recently authorized over $100 million in emergency aid that includes "14,000 rounds of tank ammunition worth more than $106 million." https://apnews.com/article/israel-us-emergency-sale-tank-ammunition-war-d3e9b41528433f2da9814d3293996cd5

    Your comment is obnoxious. Biolitblue (talk) 02:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    Again:
    I and others cannot raise important discussions points on the talk page. One pertains to whether the United States in a neutral, or a co-belligerent, in the War. Biolitblue (talk) 02:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    As @Rosguill already informed you: The key issue here is that your comment touched on the Arab-Israeli conflict. As an editor who does not yet have 500 edits and 30 days of experience, you are not allowed to participate in any discussions related to the topic on Wikipedia except to make obvious improvements through specifically-formatted edit requests. Persistent failure to follow this rule will result in a loss of editing privileges more broadly. Other concerns about your argumentation are secondary. Get some experience editing other topics and come back once you're 500/30 and have a strong understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I would recommend that you seek further advice at the teahouse, our help center for new editors. on your talk page. Please stop discussing the conflict until that time. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    Would adding the U.S. as a co-belligerent, if appropriate, not constitute an obvious improvement? How can I make an edit request if I cannot even access the talk page to make such a request? Biolitblue (talk) 03:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    Biolitblue, "obvious improvement" means things like reverting obvious vandalism (such as someone replacing the whole page with gibberish) and fixing spelling. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 04:31, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    Is there an appeal process for this administrative rule?
    I have read articles by leaders at Wikipedia that focus on inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility; however, this rule is acts as a ban on newer editors. Furthermore, it strengthens already existing cis white male hegemony in the editorial process.
    I'm not interested in spell checking the articles. Biolitblue (talk) 05:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

    "Q: What inspired your team to work on this project, and why now?
    Rita [Ho]: We know from data and user research that editing Wikipedia is less popular than it used to be. Many people are too intimidated to edit because they think they don’t have the time, technical expertise, or specialized knowledge to make a contribution. Additionally, new folks are sometimes put off either because they’ve had a negative experience with experienced members of the editing community, or else feel alone due to a perceived lack of community. To advance knowledge equity, we need to encourage people from all walks of life to contribute, no matter how big or small their edits may be. (emphasis in bold and underline added)
    Three take-aways:
    1) Wikipedia needs new editors;
    2) New Editors often have a negative experience with staff and stop editing because of it;
    3) Wikipedia should enact measures to attract new editors, no matter how few edits they make, to ensure equity.
    The 500/30 day policy contravenes this important policy Wikipedia aim and objective/directive.
    The rationale for the 500/30 rule seems to be to prevent "sock puppetry," which I doubt supersedes the equity objective. Biolitblue (talk) 05:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
    Wikipedia already has monitors to ensure vandalism and other bad faith actions are promptly addressed.
    In issues such as this one, given both the importance and interest, it is important to keep discourse as open as possible. The article page is off-limits to almost all would-be editors, so the talk page is an indispensable platform for discussion. The alternative, in place now, is an editorial hierarchy which has exclusive rights to shape not only content but also discourse. Such policies are not compatible with community engagement and contribution.
    I know what the rules presently in place are. This is why I'm requesting permission to post on that page, both on my own behalf and on behalf of others. I believe the issue raised in my request also merits consideration on the talk page. Biolitblue (talk) 03:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Declined The protection was added as an Arbitration Enforcement sanction, based on a censensus of administrators participating. This board doesn't have the authority to override that action. You need to make a request at Arb Enforcement. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 09:19, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Dennis Brown, not that it matters all that much, but for the record: I'm the one who protected the page following a request at this board (protection, request) and I consulted no one. Note that the page was titled October 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict back then and has been through several move cycles since. El_C 11:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

The article states that the reports of a baby being put in the oven have been proven false. However, the link provided by user nableezy do not prove that, only show that there is controversy surrounding the claim. The sentence should say something like: "In response to allegations that Hamas had killed a baby by placing it in an oven, he responded "with or without baking powder" on Twitter. " This change would indicate that there are allegations that are currently being disputed. Abluehulloo (talk) 16:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

@Abluehulloo, this is not the right place to discuss the phrasing, please raise this at the talk page.
Also, the article is already extended-confirmed-protected. Alaexis¿question? 21:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
@Alaexis: Making an edit request on this page is appropriate, as Talk:Refaat Alareer is semi-protected and will remain so for (at least) another two days. Favonian (talk) 11:16, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Ah, got it. Sorry @Abluehulloo, I didn't notice the talk page is also protected.
I hope it gets unprotected and this can be discussed there.
Regarding the statement in question (In response to the claim that Hamas had killed a baby by placing it in an oven, which was later found to be false, he responded "with or without baking powder" on Twitter), I don't see a problem, considering that the source also says that these claims were debunked and I'm not aware of other sources which still claim otherwise.
The article has quite a few other issues, I've raised them at the talk page. Alaexis¿question? 20:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Not done – No consensus for the proposed change has emerged. @Abluehulloo: As Talk:Refaat Alareer is no longer protected, I suggest that further discussion take place there. Favonian (talk) 16:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism has a pretty specific definition on Wikipedia. These appear to be disruptive edits stemming from a dispute. I have warned the editor about their behavior on the talk page, though. Getting help resolving the dispute is the way to go. If every disagreement between an IP editor and a registered editor culminated in protecting an article indefinitely, we'd end up protecting almost every article.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content – I don't know if it's just one editor or multiple editors behind this, but they are constantly making unsourced changes to the founder and leader of HITEC City. I have tried to make it clear to them that they need to provide a source, not only through edit summaries, but also on the article talk page, and on user talk pages (such as here). As of now they still haven't provided a source or responded on talk pages, but continue to make these unsourced changes.

The ticket from 2011, Ticket#2011042710006255, indicates that the protection request involved a repeat addition by an anonymous editor of an erroneous statement about the use of a new clarinet at an upcoming concert in 2011.

Self-referential humor

Reason: Persistent disruptive editing from an IP user whose IP address changes frequently. Talk page discussion was had, and they don't like the outcome. Maybe needs temporary Semi-protection? PhotogenicScientist (talk) 18:10, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Any unbiased person who reads the talk page discussion will see that it resulted in no consensus. It seems PS is the one who didn't like that outcome as he keeps claiming his edit is supported by an imaginary consensus. On the other hand, he didn't deny that it is a clear violation of multiple different guidelines. What he really means here isn't "please lock down the page to prevent disruptive editing" but "please lock down the page so I can enforce my preferred version". 81.102.123.104 (talk) 18:55, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
You're repeatedly reverting the article to your preferred version with edit summaries such as "*blank*", which is disruptive. PhotogenicScientist (talk) 19:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
It takes two to have a war. And the lack of an edit summary is due to your failure to address the substance of the previous edit summary, and there's no use in just repeating myself. Besides, it's functionally equivalent to a null edit summary, or even worse, to just say something like "See talk", when there's no clear rationale stated there either, much less evidence of consensus. 81.102.123.104 (talk) 20:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

@Ad Orientem I mean... done, but I see entries on that section of the noticeboard that haven't been touched in a month or more. Shall the IP editor's version be allowed to stand until someone happens to feel like addressing the close? PhotogenicScientist (talk) 19:48, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
@PhotogenicScientist If you don't get a timely response, I suggest posting a request for admin review at ANI or AN. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Baloch people

I would like to request to add some materials:

Naseer Dashti writes that There is historical evidence that the Baloch were part of military forces of Emperor Cyrus, Xerxes, and Cambyses of Achaemenid Dynasty. Ferdowsi in his “Book of Kings” (Shahnama) described the Baloch as part of the Army of Cambyses (Siahwash), son of Kai Kaous of the Achaemenid Dynasty. The second mention of the Baloch in the “Book of Kings” is during the rule of Chosroes I (Anosharvan) from AD 531 to AD 579 of Sassanid Dynasty.[1] [2]

Istakhri also, in his account of Sijistan, gives a list of the provinces of that country, among which two (Nos. 19 and 22) are described as 'country of the Baloch' 2 The desert infested by the Baloch seems in reality to have been not that to the south of the Kerman Mountains, but the great desert now known as the Lut, which lies north and east of Karman, and separates it from Khorasan and Sistan. [3] [4] [5]

Yaqut al-Hamawi speaks of the Baloch under a separate heading and gives a more favourable account of them. He says they resemble the Kurds, live between Fars and 'Karman, and are dreaded by the Qufs who fear no one else.[6] [7] [8]

The author of the history of Sistan, in the description of the massacre and destruction of many "Sajzi, Baluch and Majus" people around Zareh (Sistan Lake), mentions the presence of the Baluch in this area in 661 AH / 1263 AD.[9]

Al-Muqaddasī (985 AD) documented that Bannajbur (arabic was the capital of Makran and that it was populated by people called Balūṣh (Baluch). This is the first known Arabic reference to the Baloch people.[10]: 568 

Ibn Hawqal mentioned that Baloch is a tribe at the foot of Qufs mountain and the people of Qafs are not afraid of anyone except them.[11] [12]

Ernst Emil Herzfeld, a German archaeologist who excavated Persepolis and Pasargadae believes the word Baloch comes from a Medes term "BRAZAWACCHIA" that means "a loud shout". [13]

Is it possible to add Balochi_clothing and Balochi_language and Mir_Chakar_Rind and Talpur dynasty and Balochi needlework in See also or Related Article. Balash-Vologases (talk) 11:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

2022 ATP Tour

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Can we get a two week semi protection or perhaps range block on anon IP 2601:644:4200:4e70:ed00:7ed1:3da0:2120 ? They have been disruptive for multiple weeks now on 2022 ATP Tour, 2023 ATP Tour, and 2021 ATP Tour. They keep adding weird length pixel size, deprecated html code, blank spaces, etc with no summary as to why. No answer from my summaries or messages on their talk page though they keep changing IPs. Has recently been reverted by others such as Adakiko and administrator Materialscientist. Perhaps a sock of some old mischief maker but no proof for a check. Thanks.

Reason: Page was put under creation protection (salting) five years ago after deletion for insufficient notability. I was not involved in the page's creation or discussion at the time. Admin User:Coffee, who put the block in place, has been inactive for a year now; I thus bring my request for unprotection here. I have a draft ready to go. I believe it passes the bar, with several recent citations, a couple of media profiles. Robincantin (talk) 02:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Unprotected Article was only deleted once, so it didn't require creation protection for being repeatedly recreated. I'm not sure why it was protected, so I will unprotect. The draft is sufficiently different from the deleted article, and can be brought to AfD if anyone questions notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

It was protected for 10 days (8-22 Nov), so a 4 multiplier is, if anything, on the high end of convention. El_C 19:15, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
a 4 multiplier, in this case, is 2 months. Previous temporary protection had a time period of 2 weeks. @El C Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 19:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
It'd be 40 days, so above my usual doubling. Anyway, relist if issues persist once the protection expires, for a longer protection. El_C 19:26, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@Magitroopa: Please identify specific problems, preferably pointing to something on article talk. I would have to examine this a lot more to see why, for example, this edit which changed "war between Israel and Palestine" to "war between Israel and Hamas" is a problem given our article 2023 Israel–Hamas war. Re the recent diff which added "Zionist" to the short description, the article contains "staunch Zionist". I agree that short description is almost certainly inappropriate but there should be an explanation on article talk but it has nothing recent. Johnuniq (talk) 07:38, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Shaft (franchise)

Reason: There is an editor who after viewing their page it is shown they are confirmed to be a sockpuppet of a banned editor - that continues to edit this article with inaccurate information. They do not use the correct process of taking to the talk page prior to their edits. The editor has continued for some time to move the details about the TV series to "Television films". The episodes of the show however, were later re-edited to be released on home video as "TV Movies". We had talked about including such details in pros, but the editor continued to change details without discussion. DisneyMetalhead (talk) 22:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Declined. They edited back in August, which is way too far back to consider, and they have been blocked. When the problem is one user, generally speaking, we prefer to deal with the one editor rather than protect the article. Semi-protection isn't appropriate in this circumstance.

Saturday Night Live (season 49)

Reason: The page was protected for a minor edit war that has nothing to do with the Arab-Israeli conflict. When contacting the protecting administrator, the response was condescending. For one thing, the administrator should have immediately limited the time of protection, rather than put the responsibility on me to remind them. Isabela ciao (talk) 18:56, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Your request was condescending, Isabela ciao. You were not asking, you were telling. Anyway, the dispute spilling over to Univ funding vis-a-vis antisemitism vis-a-vis the Gaza conflict (and respective actor/s positions, alleged and otherwise) was what the protection was meant to prevent. Those discussions by non-WP:XC users. Had you asked. Not unprotected. El_C 19:01, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Is this even appropriate for the protecting administrator to review their own actions?
This administrator is responding as if I am the cause for the page protection. Isabela ciao (talk) 19:22, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Not unprotected I've reviewed it. I don't expect that it will need to be protected forever, but I don't know when unprotection would be warranted other than it's too soon now. Therefore, indefinite protection remains. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:25, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. It's also a logged WP:CTOP protection (WP:PIA), but protecting admins ordinarily are the ones who decide over their respective protections at WP:RFPP/D, even when it isn't a CTOP (formerly WP:ACDS) one. So now you know, Isabela ciao. El_C 19:30, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
El C, I saw your comment about reconsidering after a month. Do you think we should instead change it to one month from now until unprotection, or keep it as is? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Well, I purposefully did not set the protection to expire when it was imposed because I didn't want the precise date to be known. But feel free to take over the protection and adjust it as you see fit, I trust your judgment. Feel free to also amend the log accordingly, or I could do it if you prefer. Cheers!

2023 Israel–Hamas war

I would like to request that the article 2023 Israel-Hamas war (‘https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel–Hamas_war’) show internal consistency as under ‘Casualties and losses’ there are 1401 Israeli casualties (containing 876 civilians from the reference ‘m’). But in the section below this, second paragraph states ‘resulting in 1.139 deaths – 695 Israeli civilians, among them 36 children, as well as 373 members of security forces and 71 foreigners.’ This totals 766 civilians. Then in the section casualties the article states ‘On 7 October 2023, more than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals, mostly civilians, were killed and 248 taken hostage during the initial attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.[215][227]’.

Points 1. These are all different figures 2. So it is true to say that ‘most’ of those killed were civilians, but as this attack had both military and terrorist goals, the different outcomes of these goals should be stated separately eg 766 civilians were killed in the terror attack and 373 members of the security forces were killed in military operations. 3. In the casualties section paragraph 2 (starting ‘As of 15 December, over 19,000 Palestinians and Israelis’…and ending’ and over 100 UNRWA aid workers.’ Should be placed further down. Article should read -Israeli casualties in first attack – Palestinian casualties in initial Israeli response (Militants) – Palestinian casualties in wider Israeli response (Other militants and civilians, citing specifically numbers of women and children) - the number above should not be conflated with Israeli casualties as happens in article as it is now (very weird), nor should other casualties such as journalist or aid workers be placed here, they should have their own separate paragraph further on

I hope you find reasonable suggestions and that they be carried out — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.34.204 (talk) 21:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I second this. Numerous RS are now giving the 1,139 figure for the total, and the 695 figure for the civilian death toll. It's probably time for Wikipedia to update the infoboxes on the relevant pages to reflect this, unless other RS make statements contradicting it, but the previous numbers seem to be from weeks ago. Djehuty98 (talk) 00:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Wrong venue. This is a content dispute, and should be discussed at the article Talk page, not here. Mathglot (talk) 18:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
These (reasonable) edit requests are being made by people who are not able to add or participate in discussions on the talk page.
The issue of updating Israeli casualty figures has been raised on the talk page but it has been ignored despite the revised figures being stated in numerous news outlets like The Guardian, France24, The New Arab, and Voice of America, all more recently than the sources the article and infobox currently use. Presumably that is why it is also being raised here. Djehuty98 (talk) 23:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
@Mathglot: This is not the wrong venue. The article talk page is extended-confirmed protected at the moment. Until that changes, we will continue seeing edit requests here. We can either copy the comments there, or notify the participants there of the discussion here (which I have done). ~Anachronist (talk) 02:30, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel

There is an inconsistency in the infobox between the stated number of civilian casualties and the figure provided in the sources which the infobox cites. The infobox has the correct number for the total - 1,139 dead - but says that 766 of these were civilians, which contradicts the France24 report that declaratively states in the first sentence that it was 695 civilians (as you can see by clicking on the link in the citation). The number 766 does not occur anywhere in the article so I don't know where it is from but as things stand it is unsourced. Djehuty98 (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
@Sdrqaz, Paul Tierney (referee) has been protected 13 times, three times this year (as well as revdels twice this year) and at least once a year since 2017. The article is a long-term vandal magnet, presumably by people who dislike his refereeing, and as a BLP is subject to general sanctions, so could you consider indef semi? Schazjmd (talk) 00:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Schazjmd, thanks for the message. Personally, I prefer to semi-protect indefinitely only when it's clear that there is no other alternative length (for example, an escalation from a year). While the article does experience bursts of vandalism and BLP violations, the bursts are usually spaced out: 10 days before this one, 13 days before the 15–16 December one, and over two months before the 2 December one. Given your request, I will pending-changes protect it indefinitely since it's clearly a long-term issue, but will not semi-protect it for a longer time because it's not a consistent one, sorry. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Miss Intercontinental

Reason: Title was salted due to repeated re-creations following deletion at AfD back in 2009. A new page has since been created at Miss Inter-continental. It may or may not be deemed notable today, but as over a decade has since passed, re-assessment through a new discussion would be in order. The old title should be unprotected to allow the new page to be moved to the correct title. Paul_012 (talk) 05:51, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Not done for now. Because the creator apparently has a COI (possibly undisclosed paid), stating on the talk page that the article was created for Miss Intercontinental Organization, I have draftified the article to Draft:Miss Intercontinental. It is really bad form to circumvent the intent of protection by deliberately altering the spelling of the title. After proper review, it can be moved over the protected title, and I am happy to do that. @Paul 012: If you wish to review the article and feel it's in good enough shape, let me know. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. Regarding the potential COI, I don't know. The contributor has added to a wide range of beauty pageant articles, so a general interest in the topic seems plausible, and the talk page comment could have been intended to mean that they just created the page about the organisation. I've submitted the draft, but will leave it to AfC regulars to assess. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:38, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

California Valley Miwok Tribe

Reason: As legal counsel for the California Valley Miwok Tribe, I am requesting full protection for the Wikipedia page listed above. There is a long and complicated legal dispute between Tribal members and potential members of the Tribe. At present the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs is operating a process to attempt to recreate a government and which expands membership in the Tribe to some of those potential members. The potential members have been emboldened by the BIA’s acts and edited the content of the Wikipedia page to describe themselves as elected officials of the Tribe, despite that no new governing document has been created, and despite that the BIA has not yet held an election. The Tribe requests full protection to preserve the status quo while federal courts and agencies resolve numerous related legal issues. Full protection should be indefinite until one of two triggering events occurs. First, the page moderator is provided evidence that the BIA has executed a “638 Contract” providing federal funding to the Tribe post-dating the full protection date and bearing endorsement by the Chairperson, Chief, or other recognized leader of the Tribe. Second, the page moderator is provided evidence that the California Gambling Control Commission has released Revenue Sharing Trust Fund money to the Tribe post-dating the full protection date and stating who the Chairperson, Chief, or other recognized leader of the Tribe is. Absent one of these two triggering events, the Wikipedia page should remain fully protected, subject to edits by consensus through the page administrator.

The General Council was previously recognized by the United States and the State of California as the government for the California Valley Miwok Tribe, and the individuals comprising the General Council are recognized as duly enrolled members of the Tribe as established by documentation and judicial decree. Although the BIA has refused to conduct relations with the General Council in recent years, the United States has never recognized an alternative government for the Tribe, and has never recognized any other purported government as having individuals who are members of the Tribe (except for one deceased individual). The General Council is the Tribal government, and the only recognized government for the Tribe. Despite the General Council’s strong evidence to support its leadership, since approximately 2015 outsiders have militated against its legitimacy. That dispute is borne out in the Wikipedia Talk for the California Valley Miwok Tribe and in the history of revisions for the Wikipedia page. While the General Council would prefer to be in control of its own history, identity, and description, in order to protect the integrity and legitimacy of the Tribe the General Council is willing to forego its own edits and updates to the Wikipedia Page to prevent unauthorized non-member individuals from spoiling its image, and to avoid spending sparse governmental resources on content battles.

Therefore, the General Council respectfully requests that the Wikipedia page be fully protected as described above. In the alternative, the General Council would welcome an opportunity to present factual evidence establishing its position as the only recognized government for the Tribe, and requests that the Wikipedia page be edit-restricted to the General Council’s designee.

Note: Back in October, I declined a similar request (Special:PermaLink/1179818681#California_Valley_Miwok_Tribe), but I'll leave it to another admin this time. Favonian (talk) 18:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. Among edits to the article within the last six months, there are only two contiguous edits that match the description you have provided (Special:Diff/1145873541/1179059132), which does not meet the "Persistent vandalism" criterion needed to justify even the lowest levels of protection (semi-protection or pending changes protection), per Wikipedia's protection policy. Additionally, this matter appears to be a content dispute and not vandalism; please see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution (WP:DR) for advice on how to resolve any content disputes that may involve the article. As you are employed by a legal firm representing the article subject, see also Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure (WP:PCD) which describes the mandatory disclosures you are required to make to continue editing on Wikipedia and consider creating an account for transparency. — Newslinger talk 19:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israel–Hamas war

I think the Palestinian casualties in the infobox should be reverted from the current number of over 29,000 to 21,320, the latest figure from the Gaza Health Ministry as reported in RS (see: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/dec/28/israel-gaza-war-live-macron-calls-for-lasting-ceasefire-as-israel-intensifies-attacks-on-gaza#top-of-blog).

I do not dispute that the official tally may be a significant undercount due to the collapse of the health system in Gaza, but the overwhelming majority of RS seem to use the figures provided by the MoH and attribute them as such. I think Wikipedia should do the same (at least in the infobox) but perhaps include a note that they may be lower than the actual number, citing credible sources that offer higher estimates. Djehuty98 (talk) 17:42, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Forgot to mention, the source currently cited in the infobox for the casualty unequivocally calls the ongoing conflict in Gaza a genocide, which would be an NPOV violation at this stage as most reliable sources have as yet not made that designation. Solely citing this source for casualty figures would be indirectly calling the situation in Gaza a genocide in Wikivoice, which I don't think is warranted unless a preponderance of RS start doing so.
Discussion of whether the genocide label is appropriate belongs in the body of the article, and I do not wish to proffer a judgement on that question either way, but it wouldn't be in keeping with Wikipedia's standards to have it in the infobox (even indirectly). Djehuty98 (talk) 17:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
No opinion on this issue, but that's not how an indirect attribution works. Us citing a source for a fact does not mean we are citing the source's assertion elsewhere that Israel is genocidal. AryKun (talk) 19:49, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I would agree were it not for the fact that the information that the source's assertion of genocidal intent (clearly stated in the title) almost certainly has a bearing on its assertion of casualty figures that the infobox was citing. Those two assertions are clearly not unrelated to each other, so presenting one as a fact would give the reader the impression that the other is accurate.
In any case, the infobox has been changed so it's no longer an issue. Djehuty98 (talk) 00:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

The protection request was denied. You may want to register an account because it's difficult to communicate with anyone using so many IP addresses and I think you'll find it helps on pages like WP:AFD and WP:BLPN. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Early when I started editing it was explained to me in an IRL conversation why registering an account was a bad idea. I cannot remember all the details now but it was pretty convincing at the time. It would certainly feel weird for lack of better term, but this isn't the place to discus that. I do agree it is frustrating that my IP keeps changing seemingly at random so maybe I'll try some searches and see if there is a fix for that because many other IP users do not have this problem. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:949C:E0A2:4887:9292 (talk) 06:50, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

2023 Israel–Hamas war

The following sentence in the 'Accusations of Genocide' section requires rewording:

"Legal and genocide experts have condemned the attack, during which 1,200 civilians were killed, mutilated, and subjected to sexual violence."

As written, this implies that all of the people killed on the 7th October were civilians, which is not true and contradicted by information earlier in the article. I would suggest the following rewording:

"Legal and genocide experts have condemned the attack, during which 1,139 people were killed, including 695 Israeli civilians. Widespread reports of mutilation and sexual violence intensified international condemnation." Djehuty98 (talk) 13:05, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP-hopper from Japan has been repeatedly vandalizing the article by adding a nonsensical tag to the top, and edit-warring over it, despite warnings. Softlavender (talk) 02:56, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @Softlavender: Mr. Jones (2019 film) (Mr. not Mr) protected. I agree that the tag is silly and I have no idea what the guidelines say about Mr/Mr. but the IP has a point given the poster showing "Mr"? At any rate, perhaps mention WP:RM on article talk. Johnuniq (talk) 03:23, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi, the article has been at "Mr Jones" since inception, which I always thought was correct since it is about a Brit, but the film's official site (I checked because of the IP's posts) has "Mr. Jones", so I moved the article at nearly the same time you semi-ed it. Softlavender (talk) 03:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Correction: It started out as "Mr. Jones", but got moved erroneously a year later: [115]. -- Softlavender (talk) 03:42, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
I changed the article title in this request to use "Mr." because that is the protected page and it will make the bot happy. Johnuniq (talk) 04:03, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Consistent, long-running vandalism by IPs.

Historicity of Jesus

Reason: This page has been protected from IP vandalism at least 3 times in the last month and a half [116] (November 14, 2023 - for 2 days) , [117] (December 1, 2023 - for 2 weeks), [118] (December 28, 2023 - for 2 days).

The recent IP edit today [119] is likely banned User:Ironcladded [120] who used multiple IPs before: [121], [122].

Can someone increase page protection to "Extended confirmed protection" for much more time, say 6 months or more? The 3 previous page protection attempts (for a month and a half) have not deterred IP vandalism on this page. Many of these IPs push WP:FRINGE material. And at least one of these anonymous editors uses multiple IPs. Ramos1990 (talk) 23:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Unprotection: Requesting that this template be un-move-protected (not unprotected). It was move protected in 2012, but the transclusion count is "only" 1,000. Per Wikipedia:High-risk templates#Criteria, that is less than the threshold for XCP edit protection, so I see no reason to fully move-protect this template. (I plan to move it to Template:Harvard citation with colon text to match Template:Harvard citation with colon. For transparency, I moved the colon template from Template:Harvcol per WP:TPN and to align with Template:Harvard citation.) Protecting admin is no longer an admin.

List of ongoing armed conflicts

With the main map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts#/media/File:Ongoing_conflicts_around_the_world.svg) many of the countries are out of date. Most notably, Russia, which has lost many tens of thousands of troops to the War in Ukraine in 2023. 2A00:23C7:6997:C001:41E9:3B13:D88F:AF1A (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

While this user is partially blocked, I will address this for any similar future inquiries. This is not a mistake. The file's description states "Only the locations where the conflicts are taking place, not the warring parties, are coloured. For example, for the war in Afghanistan only Afghanistan itself is coloured." As a combatant Russia has suffered tens of thousands in casualties, however, the bulk of these deaths happened on Ukrainian territory. Deaths on Russian territory, primarily due to Ukrainian counterstrikes, number in the hundreds as of now. The U.S. suffered thousands of casualties in the war in Afghanistan, yet during its participation in that conflict the country was never colored red (because those deaths were on foreign soil).
