    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.

    Somalia national football team

    Temporary full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – An editor is repeatedly restoring an article that was redirected under a 2023 AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Somalia national under-20 football team). The editor is refusing advice to discuss on the talk page or seek a deletion review. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment I believe the article you're referring to is Somalia national under-20 football team. The article you linked only has had one edit in the past two weeks. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 15:43, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that's it. The article got reverted while I was filing my report so I think Twinkle sent it from the wrong place. The page creator is now seeking discussion on the talk page so this request may be moot, but we'll see. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – Content dispute. Please use the article's talk page or other forms of dispute resolution. @Dclemens1971: You are both very close to being blocked for a WP:3RR violation. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:20, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not really a content dispute when there's an AfD expressing community consensus already in place. I know 3RR and I don't go exceed it. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As it says on the edit warring policy: Claiming "My edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring" is not a valid defense. Reaching out to the other editor earlier looks like it would have helped. They seem to have stopped once you did. Anyhow, if they resume, please report it to WP:ANEW. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:56, 17 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.

    Reason: Article unrecognizable in form, tone, and content since October 7th 2023 142.147.58.81 (talk) 15:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    This article was protected under the auspices of a contentious topic (PIA) and cannot be unilaterally unprotected. Appeal the protection at WP:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement or WP:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Declined – No changes to the current protection level are required at this point in time. This falls under Wikipedia:Contentious topics, so users must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic. Favonian (talk) 17:02, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    List of highest-grossing South Indian films

    I would like to request that... (Please consider reversing the recent revision made by the User:Gokul BM. The change in range was made without supporting sources, which has affected the accuracy of the ranking.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_South_Indian_films&diff=1246147282&oldid=1246147073&variant=en https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_South_Indian_films&diff=1246147073&oldid=1246002411&variant=en) . W170924 (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. I don't see any supporting sources given for any of those numbers in the entire table, so there is no reason to believe that the previous version was more correct than the current version. If you have an issue with a recent edit, then discuss it with that editor. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:53, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Anachronist Pardon me, but to be specific, the ranges changed as follows:

    Varisu: ₹290–293 to ₹290–310

    Kabali: ₹284–305 to ₹284–499

    Beast: ₹227–240 to ₹217–300

    Mersal: ₹220 to ₹200–260


    Note that before the change, the figures were supported by the references provided in the corresponding ref fields. The new ranges, however, contradict the references because the user did not provide any sources to back their claim. Why is there no consideration of this discrepancy?W170924 (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Zionism

    In the subsection of the section "Non-jewish support" titled "Muslim support", it is stated that Al-Jamāʻah al-islāmīyah is considered a terrorist organization by the US. The US no longer considers Al-Jamāʻah al-islāmīyah a terrorist organisation since 2022. This can be replaced by stating that it is considered a terrorist organization by the UK. Guessbuckets (talk) 19:35, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Not done. That isn't what the cited source says (which appears to be out of date). Please specify exactly what the text should say, and what source it should cite. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, sorry about that.
    Replace
    "an Islamist militant group that is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union,"
    (Removing the source as well; it's outdated.)
    with
    "an Islamist militant group that is designated as a terrorist organization by the European Union and United Kingdom,"
    and adding the sources
    https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec/2024/2056/oj (for the EU)
    and
    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2/proscribed-terrorist-groups-or-organisations-accessible-version#list-of-proscribed-international-terrorist-groups (for the UK)
    The two sources I added are up to date. The one source listed in the current version is out of date, and the current version also states that the US considers it a terrorist org which is both unsourced and no longer the case.
    Thanks! Guessbuckets (talk) 20:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
