FBiofactcheck2024 (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Violation of the username policy as a promotional username. FlandersBio. Ligaturama (talk) 08:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Note: User is in the category: User talk pages with conflict of interest notices. HBC AIV helperbot5 (talk) 20:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Not a blatant violation of the username policy. @Ligaturama: Please tell me if I'm missing something obvious here, please. Nick Moyes (talk) 18:07, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Probably a reference to flanders.bio. Not really close enough name-wise imo. Secretlondon (talk) 19:09, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

The user's only edit is on FlandersBio so it seems evidently short for "FlandersBio fact check", implying shared use. Up to you if you think otherwise of course. Ligaturama (talk) 19:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Yarletschool (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal) – Promotional username, unambiguously represents the name of an organization. User's only edit so far is to Yarlet School. Also potentially of concern is Yarlet (talk · contribs · deleted · filter log · SUL · Google) • (block · soft · promo · cause · bot · hard · spam · vandal), whose 8 edits have all been to Yarlet School.

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – We have a problem with a new editor not understanding the process of adding sources..... Let's make this unedible for them for a few days until we can figure this out. Best we teach them what to do than just block them out right. Moxy🍁 15:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Declined – Warn the user appropriately then report them to AIV or ANI if they continue. Sorry, but it's difficult to justify protecting the page on account of a single user, not to mention at WP:ECP level, and not to mention going from no protection straight to to ECP (and finally for a page that has never been protected before). El_C 20:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

O well..... We will just go ahead and block another potential editor. Moxy🍁 20:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

You can work to adjust the protection policy accordingly (I have no strong view either way), but I can't violate it on a whim, Moxy. El_C 21:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I was hoping to go to the soft route with a child editor. Moxy🍁 21:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't even know how to respond to that. El_C 23:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

We have someone who seems enthusiastic about editing here...... but they're headed down the path to a block. Would be best if we can guide them rather than kick them to the curb. Moxy🍁 23:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

You know, an editor can be "surgically" blocked from editing a single article. Warn appropriately and let me know if the problem persists. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your wording and approach on the users talk page.... This is something I always have a problem with

Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Last edit May 21. Before that May 8. Before that May 2. And before that, we're in April. It's just too low activity to qualify for protection. Check out some requests of pages that were protected to see the degree of activity that's usually expected. El_C 01:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

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: The protection is no longer necessary because there is misinformation in the page , it said the Libyan families were compensated when in truth they never were. They couldn’t afford to take it to court and Israel pretended they did offer to compensate but the Libyans rejected it. that is not true at all according to officers, Israel refused to even acknowledge their wrongdoing and refused to compensate the families. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.185.29.50 (talk) 20:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

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.
