Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
| Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here. | ||
|---|---|---|
|
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.

Reason: His page is already protected but may need another protection. Allan Lichtman has contined to push for updates to his own page, including on YouTube interviews last night, in contravention of Wikipedia conflict of interest rules and the consensus of the page's editors regarding his predictive record. Caraturane (talk) 13:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Forgot to add: this is a request for an extension of the protection or whatever you feel is best given the situation. Ever since protection went up, the talk page has been consistent in its view as to his predictive record, as has the related The Keys to the White House talk page. There has not been widespread disagreement about what the pages should say, but he has continued to agitate for the edits on the side for most of the last month (including on his YouTube channel) and there is concern the pages will get edit spammed with edits, against the talk page consensus, once again.

- I'm going to hold off on this until disruption resumes. Maybe semi or ecp will be sufficient? Elli (talk | contribs) 16:24, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Declined per Elli above. Protection has only just expired. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in 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.
Reason: This redirect is fully protected because of an argument about whether it should be its own article. This dispute was settled over nine years ago, so this page's current level of protection is unnecessary. Cyrobyte (talk) 19:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Spartaz: Protecting admin, back in the day. Favonian (talk) 20:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- The imposition of a redirect was endorsed at DRV and the advice was to allow a discussion before considering any changes to the level of protection. I guess my question is why do you want to remove the protection? Spartaz Humbug! 12:06, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits 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.
Historical and Theological Origins Biblical Foundations
Zionism's roots can be traced to the Hebrew Bible, where the concept of the Jewish people's connection to the Land of Israel is established through the covenant between God and Abraham. This covenant is described as eternal and unconditional:
"On that day, the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, 'To your descendants, I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.'" (Genesis 15:18, NIV)
"I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come... The whole land of Canaan... I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you, and I will be their God." (Genesis 17:7-8, NIV)
The covenant is reaffirmed with Isaac and Jacob, emphasizing the perpetual bond between the Jewish people and the land:
To Isaac: "Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham." (Genesis 26:3, NIV)
To Jacob: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac... I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying." (Genesis 28:13, NIV)
Continuous Presence and Yearning
Despite historical exiles and dispersions, there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the Land of Israel. Jewish communities maintained their connection to the land through religious practices, cultural traditions, and communal life. The longing for Zion is a central theme in Jewish liturgy and rituals:
The Psalms express this yearning: "By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion." (Psalm 137:1, NIV)
Daily prayers include petitions for the return to Jerusalem and the restoration of the Temple.
The Passover Seder concludes with the declaration, "Next year in Jerusalem!"
Rabbinic Literature and Medieval Thought
Rabbinic texts highlight the spiritual significance of the Land of Israel:
The Talmud states: "A person should always live in the Land of Israel, even in a city where the majority are idolaters, and not live outside the Land, even in a city where the majority are Israelites." (Ketubot 110b) Medieval Jewish philosophers and poets, such as Rabbi Judah Halevi, emphasized the importance of returning to Zion. In his work, The Kuzari, Halevi advocates for the spiritual and national revival of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland. Beluga29 (talk) 07:29, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
