Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

Talk:Israel–Hamas war[edit]

I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated. LordOfWalruses (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This is too vague. It is not clear what you want. Administrators here are not necessarily familiar with the subject article. Your request must be specific and complete, saying exactly what should be changed, and why, and what supports the change you want. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Israel–Hamas war[edit]

Please alter the following sentence: "Israel's upcoming offensive in Rafah, criticized by the international community, is nearing execution while ceasefire negotiations remain ongoing." However, on the Rafah offensive page, the lede reads "On 6 May 2024, Israel began a military offensive in and around the city of Rafah." Simply put, the Rafah offensive should no longer be characterized in the Israel-Hamas war article as "upcoming" if it is currently ongoing. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 13:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Because the administrators who monitor this page aren't involved with that article, it would be easier if you formulated requests in the form "change 'X' to 'Y'". ~Anachronist (talk) 18:11, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
