Current requests for increase in protection level
[edit]Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: To insert Semi-Protection as the page is about the Prime Minister of Mauritius and repeated edits by users some with unreliable sources and stated in a negative style than the original sources. SwiftReader1994 (talk) 07:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

- As the editors who seem to be going back and forth on this are mostly extended-confirmed, only full protection would have a chance to work and we rarely impose that for very long. I also note that no one's using the talk page ... we do like to see that you've taken that route.

Indefinite semi-protection: High level of persistent and disruptive IP vandalism. Firecat93 (talk) 08:26, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The Egyptian regime seeks to tarnish Bahgat Saber's image in order to undermine his political and social influence, particularly due to his continued opposition to government policies and his strong criticism of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Bahgat Saber is a prominent figure who uses social media platforms to express his dissent against the regime, making him a target of efforts to discredit him by government agencies. This campaign aims to reduce his credibility among both supporters and critics, portraying him as an extremist or a threat to national security, in order to diminish his impact on public opinion and dishearten his followers.

Reason: Persistent vandalism and disruptive editing, including edit warring. Page has been protected multiple times before due to similar instances.

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – There is a very dedicated vandal who, for some reason, loves adding a fake date of birth to this article. See the accounts Magicalboat316, SpencerTarrence7981, GloriaCarterSpann1926, and Arglefumph1998. (There have also been many IPs.) This article was previously protected for one year in November 2023.

Current requests for reduction in protection level
[edit]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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page
[edit]Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
My suggestion is to leave out the following 2 sentences in the "German complicity" paragraph as they seem to be based on misunderstandings:
"She also highlighted police suppression of pro-Palestine protests throughout Germany[509] as evidence of state complicity.[508] Karen Wells et al. highlight how Germany has entrenched its complicity in Israel's actions by banning use of the word "genocide" in reference to Israel.[471][better source needed]"
1. In general violent protests are not allowed in Germany. As some of the first pro-Palestine protests were violent, they were sometimes forbidden by courts, if they were expected to turn violent. But that is common policy in Gemany with all subjects and not special for pro-Palestine protests.
Meanwhile, there even is a calendar concerning pro-Palestinian protests[1] with daily up to 20 protests all over Germany. Thus, there is no general police suppression of pro-Palestine protests as is suggested by the current wording.
2. The word “genocide” is not banned in reference to Israel in Germany - maybe that was a misunderstanding: What is not allowed in Germany is to call for genocide against Jews. The slogan “From the river to the sea” is seen as such call and banned. Gilbert04 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Diese Beschränkungen hob das VG Frankfurt vollständig auf. Auf die Beschwerde der Stadt differenzierte der VGH Kassel Aufrufe zur Vernichtung Israels verstießen - wie gesagt - gegen § 111 StGB und die Aussage „Juden Kindermörder" erfülle den Tatbestand der Volksverhetzung (§ 130 StGB). Demgegenüber wurden andere Außerungen wie „Kindermörder Israel" oder die Bezeichnung der israelischen Militäroperationen in Gaza als „Genozid" nicht beanstandet und die Entscheidung des VG insoweit aufrechterhalten.

The Administrative Court of Frankfurt completely lifted these restrictions. In response to the city's complaint, the Administrative Court of Kassel differentiated that calls for the destruction of Israel violated - as mentioned - Section 111 of the Criminal Code and that the statement "Jews, child murderer" constituted incitement to hatred (Section 130 of the Criminal Code). In contrast, other statements such as "Israel, child murderer" or the description of Israeli military operations in Gaza as "genocide" were not objected to and the Administrative Court's decision was upheld in this respect. It can be assumed that children would also be harmed in Israel's military defense actions. Such a lay exaggeration must be accepted within the framework of freedom of expression. On October 21, 2023, the Mannheim Higher Administrative Court upheld a ban on the slogans "Israel, child murderer" and "Israel kills children" by the assembly authority despite existing doubts about their criminal liability; in the interim legal protection procedure, only a summary examination is possible; a statement once made cannot be reversed. The distinction between anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli is certainly a balancing act that cannot be described in detail here.” There is no broad ban on pro-Palestinian protests either, and they were even allowed to happen on Oct. 7 of this year (in some cases).

Consider changing "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations, and accused the court of being antisemitic, which it often does when criticised" to "The Israeli government has been accused of consistently weaponizing antisemitism against it's critics, including in the ICJ ruling." Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Weaponization of antisemitism page hyperlinked over "often done" has many sources to draw from regarding the accusations' consistency and nature.
- My main concern with the original text is that it's voiced as if it's an observation made by a Wikipedian. The benefit here is that the weaponization of antisemitism has a clearer consistency grounded outside of Wikipedia. Perhaps other ways to word this out include adding a time scale (increasingly accused since Oct. 7th) or specifying the critique (against critiques of their actions since Oct 7th).
- If a lead paragraph change is necessary, there may be reason to outline Israeli motives and conditions for the genocide, including Zionism and anti-Arab racism. Ecco2kstan (talk) 23:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Ecco2kstan, how about: "The Israeli government rejected South Africa's allegations. Supporters of Israel say that accusing Israel of genocide is both antisemitic[10][11] and a form of Holocaust erasure[12], but others argue antisemitism shouldn't be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations.[13][14][15][16]".VR (Please ping on reply) 00:12, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not as familiar with the Holocaust erasure claims, but I'm happy with that reworking! If that weaponization of Holocaust denial detail isn't on the weaponization of antisemitism page already, it might be a worthwhile phenomenon incorporate if there's more citations you can find. I might look into it myself. Thanks! Ecco2kstan (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- That does sound quite balanced. +1 from me. Neutral Editor 645 (talk) 18:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Vice regent: Would you please make this change, so we can close this request? ~Anachronist (talk) 21:28, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- The text I originally wanted modified was changed to "Israel's supporters say that accusing Israel of genocide is antisemitic, but others argue antisemitism should not be exploited to shield Israel from such allegations" after other discussions on the talk page. I almost like it better, but by saying "Israel's supporters" it relieves some of the responsibility from the Israeli government in the accusations that was, to an extent, duly credited in the original modification. Maybe now, it should just say "The Israeli government and their supporters say that accusing the state for genocide antisemitic..." or something similar. Ecco2kstan (talk) 17:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

The 70% figure in both the primary and the secondary source refers to the deaths that were verified by the UN Human Rights Office, not the totality of deaths in Gaza.
Accordingly, the current phrasing "70% of Palestinian deaths in Gaza are women and children" is inaccurate and should be changed to "70% of the 8,119 verified deaths were women and children" Zlmark (talk) 06:10, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Zlmark I agree with this - Wikipedia needs to be accurate and reliable. Things like this are pushing millions of people away from Wikipedia, when we want to do the opposite. We want this to change. Becoming more accurate is key. Hopefully this happens. Avishai @Avishai11 Avishai11 (talk) 20:07, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request the addition of the following paragraph on Singapore’s support for a two-state solution under the section "International Positions on the Two-State Solution" in the Two-state solution article:
International Positions on the Two-State Solution
Singapore: Singapore supports a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, advocating for a negotiated outcome aligned with relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. According to Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore believes this approach allows Israelis and Palestinians to coexist peacefully and securely, considering it the only viable path toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting resolution. Singapore also consistently upholds the Palestinian right to a homeland. The PLO, which constitutes the key pillar of the current Palestinian Authority, accepts Israel's right to exist and has renounced terrorism.[1]

Gaza genocide - the 186,000 indirect deaths estimate
[edit]In the "Indirect" section, the following sentence should be added after "186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza":
Three days after the publication, one of the writers, Professor Martin McKee, clarified that the 186,000 figure was “purely illustrative”[1] and stated that “our piece has been greatly misquoted and misinterpreted.”[2]

I would like to request that a change be made for accuracy under the subhead Origin and spread: Other events. There is a reference to a photo of a man carrying two dead geese, but it is actually only one goose. Footnotes 54, 58, and 59 all state that there is one goose in the photo. Footnote 60 says two geese, but this is evidently a mistake on TMZ's part as the photo itself clearly shows only one goose.
I suggest that the wording "man carrying two dead Canada geese" be changed to "man carrying a dead Canada goose".
In the next sentence I suggest that the wording "The geese were roadkill" either be changed to "The goose was roadkill" or that this part of the sentence be eliminated since the only source for the goose being roadkill is the TMZ article which may be unreliable and perhaps should be removed as a reference? It's possible the official quoted by TMZ was referring to a different incident altogether involving two roadkill geese and TMZ mistakenly linked this to the Columbus photo.
Then I suggest in the following sentence the wording "stealing geese" be changed to "stealing a goose".
Also, I would like to suggest that the semi-protected status be lifted from the Talk page of this article. 2600:100A:B10A:4AA1:0:21:7E13:E301 (talk) 23:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I suggest changing the map on the states agreeing with with the Genocide charge (green coloured) to include Spain and Ireland, as these declared to join South Africa's case in the ICJ and generally agree with the allegations in public statements. Ireland also passed a motion in the parliament declaring it a genocide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:9e8:9a4:6900:50f:51e:c5cd:b7cf (talk • contribs) 15:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
In the state results table, I would like to request that the columns labeled Margin and Margin swing be filled in, for those rows/states in which the relevant data has already been entered. Obviously not every state has data, but most do.
This should be trivial, at least for Margin, but the inability to sort by margin has been annoying me for a week now. LoganStokols (talk) 19:23, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
In this article, the following section is problematic.
"On 9 or 10 October, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages held in Gaza if Israel would call off its planned invasion of the Gaza Strip, but the Israeli government rejected the offer.[242]"
It needs to be taken out completely.
The original article is based on an interview in Times of Israel newspaper. In the interview, the interviewee mentions this as a side comment:
“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”
There is no mention of how they found out, and this is pretty much the only "evidence" given in support of any offer from Hamas to release all civilian hostages. It is less than hearsay.
Thank you for listening.

The infobox with the description "Israeli and Palestinian deaths preceding the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, of which most were civilians" cites this link to the UN OCHAoPt. This no longer links to any publicly available information. Luckily, there is an archive link as well.Nevermind! Issue at my side. Still, the rest of the request should make sense. There is an archive link. This archive is not sufficient, however, since the embedded figure is non-interactive, which makes it impossible to confirm the information that the citation is supposed to demonstrate (civilian death ratio).
This archive link should be replaced with one from the Internet Archive. As an example, this would be appropriate. The archive loads painfully slowly (might take literal hours, I didn't care to wait), but it does technically load (I'm pretty sure), and I expect that the embedded figure should work.
As an aside, the embedded figure is still available, since it was hosted on a different site and not taken down. This, unfortunately, is not appropriate for inclusion in the article, since app.powerbi.com isn't exactly a reliable source. But it is great if you don't want to wait for the IA archive to load.This is pointless information since the original site is still available. Dieknon (talk) 21:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi, This is from Naveen from Direction Crew. We need to remove the name "Stefan Ritcher" from the "Screenplay by" column in the infobox template and "He co-wrote the film's script with Stefan Richter." This line is from the pre-production also to be removed. IloveCinema07 (talk) 08:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Add three categories to the article: "Category:Massachusetts Democrats", "Category:People from Hattiesburg, Mississippi", and "Category: LGBTQ people from West Virginia".
If the article for Wu already directly mentioned where she is from, I see no reason for the categories to not include the information, but because the article is under full protection and the discussion page is under a 30/500 lock, this is the only way I can suggest the edit.

Page should include demographic data from The Associated Press and perhaps even averaging with their other demographic data. I recall, especially with data involving African American support, it varies significantly. This can be seen with data in the past election especially. This should be added to remove any errors and get a consensus opinion. Here is the data: https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/votecast/. Hyperdreigon (talk) 16:38, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting confirmed rights I can provide a lot of good information about many topics that were not mentioned on wikipedia, and that can help the readers to know more about the topic they research about, and this can also improve the quality of the information provided to them.

I have lost access to my old account started in 2006, "Ardo191" Edit history. Since 2011, I made edits under my IP address(es) where necessary, but I want to keep better track of things as I have become a little more interested in different topics. My old account account was a little wiley, as I was literally fourteen when I started, but perhaps it serves as a bit of a demonstration that I have spent a bit of time in these parts. =] Braillegrenade (talk) 01:13, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
The situation that resulted in this MfD is leading me to request this permission. This user page was being used as an AfC submission, which I didn't know what to do with after declining, since the most likely solution (moving to draftspace and suppressing the redirect, see Timtrent's and DoubleGrazing's comments) was unavailable to me. Instead, I simply blanked it in a panic. I request this permission because it would be quite useful in my NPP work (and my recently acquired job of closing RMs) in general, including cases like that, as well as the unusually common situation of people accidentally creating drafts and user pages in mainspace (see User:JJPMaster/CSD log#November 2024 for my G6 nominations for three of those cases; see also User:JJPMaster/Draftify log).

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hi! I've been using Wikipedia on-and-off since 2020, but I'm starting to become more active. I'd like to become a pending change reviewer, as I've often wanted to help out but have struggled finding where I can actually contribute, and I think this is a good place to contribute. I'm familiar with the guidelines, as well. Thx56 (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
I have been patrolling RC since 8 August 2024 and would ask to have Pending changes reviewer rights. I've initially had a request for this permission here on 30 September 2024 but was denied. Anyways, I have stumbled upon across lots of Pending edits on RC and some of them appear to be constructive. I have a good understanding in basic and some advanced Wikipedia policies and have been editing Wikipedia since April 2024 and have nearly 9,000 edits in my contributions. Thank you. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 05:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia and focused on editing articles, combating vandalism and creating new articles. I am requesting for PCR right to speeding up the review process for pending changes. I am familiar with key Wikipedia content policies, including vandalism, biographies of living persons (BLP), neutral point of view (NPOV), verifiability, and copyright compliance. I have also been involved in patrolling recent changes, where I use tool Twinkle to revert vandalism. With my experience and understanding of these policies, I believe that I can effectively contribute to reviewing pending changes. Nxcrypto Message 18:17, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
I've had an account since June 2023; however, I started actively editing from July 2024. I may not have been on Wikipedia for a long time, but I believe I have a pretty good understanding of the policies. I've read the important policies for this including WP:Vandalism, WP:BLP, WP:Copyrights. I've participated in AfD discussions and I am currently also receiving training for WP:NPP. TNM101 (chat) 10:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
I am a regular editor on Wikipedia. I have new page review, autopatroller, rollback permission and participate in draft article reviews. I would enjoy helping with pending changes review. Demt1298 (talk) 19:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
I have been actively involved in RC Patrolling as part of anti-vandalism efforts on Wikipedia for quite some time. I believe obtaining the Pending Changes Reviewer permission would be a logical next step. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's vandalism policy, including what constitutes vandalism and what does not. Additionally, I have thoroughly read and understood the basic content policies, such as Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) , Neutral Point of View, No Original Research, Verifiability, and 'What Wikipedia Is Not. I am also familiar with the basic legal policy outlined in Wikipedia:Copyrights. With over 13,000 contributions to Wikipedia, I feel confident that I am now ready to take on this responsibility. Thank you! Baqi:) (talk) 14:03, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
In the last two months, in addition to my editing activities, I'm also quite active in rollbacks (primarily vandalism); in order to facilitate my work (for example here, without rollback rights, I had complications), if you consider that I'm skilled in this, I request the granting of these rights. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:40, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Hey, I was granted a 3-month trial by Robertsky, and I used Anti-Vandal to counter vandalism. However, it was not renewed. Now I would like to continue using this amazing tool to counter vandalism. Thanks. GrabUp - Talk 14:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting rollback rights to further help with my contribution to anti-vandalism, with I having done actions to prevent vandalism on pages like Johnny Somali and Islamic State-related articles. RowanJ LP (talk) 04:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Template editor[edit]
I am primarily active in WikiProject Eurovision and want to improve protected templates such as Template:Infobox song contest national year, Template:Escyr, and Template:Country in the Eurovision Song Contest. Furthermore I would love to contribute with others if needed. As a software engineer I have a passion in templates and modules. I have about 2,500 total edits on Wikipedia of which more than 300 are in the module and template namespaces. I have edited 6 sandbox pages, however I have only 3 edit request. I have never received blocks and I've definitely been editing more than one year. — TheThomanski | t | c | 01:37, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
