    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long history of vandalism, still has vandals, and no reason why vandalism won't persist indefinitely. Idiosincrático (talk) 11:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Pending-changes protected for a period of three months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 12:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism. DoebLoggs (talk) 11:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    DAMAC Properties

    Reason: The page has been under a malicious attack with false and controversial (politically inclined) information being added by multiple editors, which seems to be connected with the current massive spam attack on the Dubai’s real estate industry. To avoid further vandalism, full protection is requested for the page Tara.ghorayeb (talk) 12:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Tara.ghorayeb:, as I wrote on your talk page, the article's talk page is there for discussing issues, please use it. --DoebLoggs (talk) 12:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have requested for protection because if you have a look at the edit history, controversial and politically motivated information has been added to the page which isn't legally proven. Wikipedia isn't a place for the controversial informations and there is a clear pattern for users adding the same information in four different paragraphs - clear proof of vandalism. Therefore, it is important that the information is removed and page is placed under full protection for now. Tara.ghorayeb (talk) 12:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But the request was already submitted, Tara.ghorayeb, so you duplicated it for naught, which resulted in an inadvertent duplication of the protection itself. Why not add your note at the original request? El_C 12:51, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Already Done. El_C 12:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The controversial edits have not been removed and the page has been placed under semi-protection. I request that you look into the complete matter. Wikipedia can't be a space for allegations against companies or individuals, else everyone will start adding controversial and unproven information. It is a platform to purely give out the correct information and we are all here just to ensure that. Tara.ghorayeb (talk) 12:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, I can't spare the time for a deeper dive atm. El_C 12:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Semi-protected for a period of two days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. BusterD (talk) 12:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, I was here third! El_C 12:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you please look into the matter, because the edits made on the page by users are controversial and the same information has been added in four different paragraphs making it seem as if it's the only important things about the organization - clear proof of vandalism. Repeating the same information over and over again in an article also goes against the Wikipedia rules. It is also against the rules to add controversial and misleading information as Wikipedia is not a place for it. Tara.ghorayeb (talk) 13:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Again, sorry, Tara.ghorayeb, but as mentioned, I can't spare the time for a deeper dive atm. But if those additions are WP:UNDUE, then it wouldn't really be a matter of vandalism or disruption, but rather, a content dispute. In which case, you're welcome to try to persuade other editors in favour of your position on the article talk page (Talk:DAMAC Properties). If still at an impasse after that, then you could make use of a number of dispute resolution requests, such as a Third opinion request. HTH. El_C 13:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in Germany

    Reason: WP:CT/A-I so recommend WP:ECR per parent article protection. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 12:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Declined – Pages are not protected preemptively. That's not a thing we do by default (parent article). Also, the one user whom you are in dispute with on that page is already extended confirmed, so protection at that level would have no effect (on either one of you). El_C 12:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough, I thought for CT/A-I it could be preventative. I'm otherwise not in dispute with any user on that page. Per talk page, I'm very much in agreement, as long as correct procedures are followed that is. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 12:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason: Unregistered users from IP addresses in Grand Forks (Cory's constituency) have repeatedly removed portions of the article discussing her May 2024 DUI arrest. Marchiviste (talk) 13:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

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

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Those articles have been indefinitely protected by a deceased user over a decade ago. Hopefully those WP:DEers are gone for good, well at least from some of the above pages.102.156.71.151 (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
    Shortcut

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

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

    Israel–Hamas war

    Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215. ConDissenter (talk) 21:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Is there another place to request this change? The talk page for Israel-Hamas war is restricted as well. The current source for casualty data is palinfo.com, which describes itself by saying it "does not lay any claim to neutrality for it blatantly sides with the oppressed Palestinian people." https://english.palinfo.com/about-us/. Recognizing that reliable sources do not need to have a neutral POV, why should we use this as a source rather than a less biased source like the United Nations? ConDissenter (talk) 18:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @ConDissenter Please go check Talk:Israel–Hamas war for earlier discussions and to see why your request is unlikely to succeed. FYI, the lower numbers refer not to the killed overall but to the killed who have additionally been identified by name. Besides, all the numbers are sourced to Gaza MoH anyway. — kashmīrī TALK 09:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the reply, Kashmiri. I recognize the data is all coming from the same place. (I've tried to access but can't find a reliable site for the Gaza Health Ministry to find the data directly, so I assume the UN is accurately presenting the data.) I agree it hasn't changed the total number killed which is why I didn't suggest a change to that -- beyond fixing the "more than" to "nearly" 35,000. But I don't see any basis for keeping outdated numbers on women and children. The old ratio was 72% and the new ratio was 52%. The talk page suggests we need to wait for more RS, but at this point there are plenty:
    https://www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1251265727/un-gaza-death-toll-women-children
    https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/13/middleeast/death-toll-gaza-fatalities-un-intl-latam/index.html
    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-women-children-death-toll-1.7203167
    Is there any way to flag this for the editors of that page, even on the Talk page? ConDissenter (talk) 23:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The text of the article has now gotten worse. It says "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women. Over 10,000 others are missing and presumed trapped under rubble." This implies either that there are 45,000 killed total, or ALL of the 25,000 identified are women and children. I've been following Talk:Israel–Hamas war on this subject and the contributors seem to be talking at loggerheads. How is this supposed to work? Now the text of the article is at odds with most RS. E.g., https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/what-we-know-about-the-death-toll-in-gaza/ar-BB1mzqUT. ConDissenter (talk) 23:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
