    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.

    Talk:Kellie Gerardi

    Temporary semi-protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – IP changing signatures, not contributing to article, harassing paid editor. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/73.211.173.173. Diff Special:Diff/1244740877. ⸺(Random)staplers 06:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Temporary semi-protection: IPs disruptive editing. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    IPs observed to be adding unsourced content repeatedly and disturbing certain templates. Thewikizoomer (talk) 09:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Daniel Case (talk) 01:26, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Gregory Dell'Omo

    Reason: User @1A8J6R5, who is paid to edit Wikipedia on behalf of Rider University, has made numerous edits to this page that have removed factually sourced information, in an effort to 'paint a rosy picture' of Dell'Omo's tenure as President of Rider University. JDankers (talk) 20:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This needs to be discussed with the user. If they are not responsive, a partial block or a sitewide block might be in order. There is currently no need for protection. Ymblanter (talk) 20:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined per above. Daniel Case (talk) 01:46, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done by Vsmith Babysharkboss2!! (Nomad Vagabond) 00:59, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    the protection lasted for 1 year, not indefinite. I prefer indefinite for every article that is vandalized frequently, including this one 2603:8080:D03:89D4:E40C:F0FD:39E3:5EA1 (talk) 01:06, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hallypop (Philippine TV channel)

    Reason: High level of IP vandalism, someone adding revival of GMA News TV, a defunct news channel in the Philippines, now known as (GTV) Philippine TV channel, or possible adding a TeleRadyo-like channel (Dobol B TV), even though no such teasers or series of test broadcast done by GMA.

    Category:American people of Ukrainian-Jewish descent

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – IPs adding information that is currently under dispute at article's Talk page. DonIago (talk) 02:47, 10 September 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.

    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

    "On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including British, Polish, Australian, and Irish nationals, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" is incorrect and should be reworded as

    "On 1 April, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, including a dual US-Canada national, a Palestinian, three British citizens, an Australian, and a Pole, were killed in an Israeli airstrike south of Deir al-Balah" as per [1], [2]. 148.75.59.49 (talk) 23:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Israel–Hamas war

    I suggest adding to 'War Crimes' a section about the Sde Teiman detention camp. The use of concentration/torture camps is a very notable war crime and an important fact as it pertains to the ceasefire negotiations regarding hostage swaps. It is also relevant as many have been taken from Gaza and are being tortured under pretext of "interrogation." Jdftba (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
