Operation Storm

Reason: Disruption by LTA-IP. Griboski (talk) 20:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Question: @Griboski: Which LTA? More specifics are needed before the page can be protected for this reason. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 21:02, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator, I didn't write anything bad, read it. This is the standard option of user Griborski, I reviewed his edits and he did it several times to protect the page because he doesn't like what he writes. And that no one can edit, so that he makes his own version when the page is protected and I can't edit it, without valid sources. Please see my edits. I didn't write anything bad. Those are his tricks, he thinks if he has an account he can do whatever he wants. He has no answer for this, he needs to provide the source of what I told him. Look at my edits and decide.

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

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.

Greg Smith (Oregon politician)

Reason: Someone has made themselves an admin to this page and is posting disinformation. The person that this page is about has no access to edit or even view. 2600:8800:7100:1F90:6959:D99B:79CD:ECA3 (talk) 05:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is not how Wikipedia adminship works - it is not per-page - and Greg Smith has every ability to read the article about himself. What is going on here is a content dispute where the IP editors are choosing to blindly revert rather than actually explain their case rationally to other editors on the page, something which Smith himself can (and should) do. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 06:33, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request a specific edit to a protected page
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.

Israel–Hamas war

I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
