• 2020 Beirut explosion (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Reason: The page has been subjected to vandalism from a single user ("BasselHarfouce") who is on a conquest of spreading anti-iranian sentiment. He added a section which suggests that Iran was involved even though this completely contradicts what we know about the origin of the Ammoniumnitrate. His sources do not even support his conclusions and some are partisan. Further details can be found in the talk page. Some of his "additions" to the article have already been removed. I do not know who to approach to get the rest removed and the article protected from him. 2A02:8071:5160:F8A0:B427:FF5B:5F56:25A (talk) 10:13, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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.

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.

• Gaza war (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Regarding the box in the header, I believe the "captured or abducted" count should reflect those who have been released or have died in captivity. Although 251 individuals were captured or abducted, some have since been released or killed. The Wikipedia page should present this information as follows:

- Captured or Abducted: 251

- Released: [number]

- Killed in Captivity: [number]

• Gaza genocide (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

"Israeli soldiers have summarily executed Palestinian civilians, often in front of their families." This is one citation that leads to another citation (why not list the original reference?) where it describes a single alleged incident that has been disputed. The original citation is careful to use the term 'alleged' and 'still under verification' and yet the wiki page does not say 'alleged' or 'accused of' - and goes on to add the word 'often', even though only one alleged incident is referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.230.248.39 (talk) 02:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
