"WP:RFP" and "WP:RPP" redirect here. You may also be looking for Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, or Wikipedia:Random page patrol.
    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

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

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

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



    Current requests for increase in protection level

    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.

    vandalism by IP accounts (unidentified) traced from Turkey and Azerbaijan trying to disrupt the Wikipedia activities, promoting pan-Turkist and AKP propaganda, as well as hatred on Armenia, Greece, Iran, Russia and other countries that do not approve Turkish government's policies and rewriting history about Turkey's atrocities.

    Note: Noting that the most recent reverted edits were from an IP that geolocates to US. The amount of disruption/vandalism seems too great for PC to be effective. Given the contentiousness of the subject, this seems the best recourse. I will note that other suggested remedies are unlikely to be effective. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:21, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Not done --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: Changed my mind. @ZaDoraemonzu: Pending changes seems to be doing the job. The assertions you make about, "IP accounts (unidentified) traced from Turkey and Azerbaijan trying to disrupt the Wikipedia activities, promoting pan-Turkist and AKP propaganda, as well as hatred on Armenia, Greece, Iran, Russia and other countries that do not approve Turkish government's policies and rewriting history about Turkey's atrocities," while emotionally charged, do not see reflective of the current situation. The most recent IP from Turkey edit was not as you portrayed here. Most recent reverts from an IP in the US look like an content dispute. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:34, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    2024 Nuseirat rescue operation

    Reason: This was a massacre, not a rescue operation. The IDF killed more than 274 innocent civilians according to Aljazeera (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/11/nuseirat-anatomy-of-israels-massacre-in-gaza) and the IDF managed to kill 3 of their hostages in this operation.

    Israel–Hamas war

    At present we have "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its Rafah offensive.[1]"

    I suggest changing it to include a longer, semantically-complete, quotation, to read: "On 24 May, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.[2]"

    As the Guardian article points out, and reports judges as arguing, the last comma is critical to the meaning of the ruling. Hunc (talk) 10:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC) Create a level 3 header with a link to the article in question, then a {{pagelinks}} template and then the reason.[reply]
