Gaza war

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

The infobox of article states that over 1,154 Israeli security personnel died in the war, which is incorrect. The cited source clearly states that figure also includes soldiers killed by Hezbollah attacks, fighting in Lebanon, the West Bank and other fronts, as well as those who died due to accidents or even suicide, which is what their remembrance day (Yom Hazikaron) commemorates every year. The infobox is supposed to include only those who were killed in the October 7 attacks and fighting in Gaza ever since. I'd like to ask someone to please replace the number 1,154 for 864 using the following source (per WP:CALC, it's the sum of 331 soldiers and 58 police officers killed in Israel on October 7 plus 473 soldiers and 2 policemen killed in Gaza during the war): ^[1] Therefore, the total number of Israelis killed in the war (both civilians and security personnel) at the end of infobox should say 1,751+ (including dead hostages) instead of 2,041+

If that is too complicated, at least a footnote should be added to the 1,154 number saying the figure includes those killed in other related fronts of the war. Thank you very much. Davidhiestand (talk) 22:43, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Please include Mohammad Pakpour and Abdolrahim Mousavi to the Iranian “Commanders and leaders” section of the 2026 Iran war infobox.

Proposed additions:

• Abdolrahim Mousavi X
• Mohammad Pakpour X

Both were senior military commands at the beginning of the war whose successors are currently included in the infobox:

• Mohammad Pakpour was Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC when the war began.
• Abdolrahim Mousavi was Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces when the war began.

Specifically there is a belligerent consistency issue. The infobox includes American and Israeli military leadership, including Dan Caine and Eyal Zamir. Mousavi occupied the comparable position at the head of Iran’s armed forces when the war began. And Pakpour commanded the IRGC. Apricciardi (talk) 15:38, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

I'd like to request autopatrolled rights. Since mid-July 2026, I've created 51 articles on English Wikipedia, primarily biographies of notable Iranian figures, women in history (through the WikiProject Women in Red initiative — arts, literature, theatre, sports), and military history subjects. None of my articles have been deleted.

I've worked to ensure each article is properly sourced with independent secondary sources, and I've been careful about copyright compliance, including navigating image licensing on Commons (PD-anon-70-EU, fair use rationales) for historical photographs. I've also engaged constructively with New Page Patrol feedback and talk page discussions when questions arose about sourcing or notability.

I'm familiar with Wikipedia's policies on BLP, verifiability, and notability, and plan to continue creating articles at a similar pace. I'm also happy to receive feedback if more time or a trial period is preferred. Saji • talk 13:05, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Update: Sajjadmrt removed two of the sources after I pointed this out. Two of the remaining three are still irrelevant. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 07:46, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that — you were right, a couple of the citations were mismatched (probably from translating across wikis). Fixed now, replaced with sources that actually support the text. Saji • talk 07:52, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

This doesn't make any sense; none of the sources you removed are present in any inter-language editions of Marica Gregorič Stepančič and one of the two sources still doesn't support any of the text. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:22, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

The Žnidaršič source is a scholarly book on the history of Slovenian women (19th c. – WWII) that discusses her among other writers — it doesn't need to appear in other-language Wikipedia articles to be valid, it's an independent secondary source. Could you point to which specific sentence you think it doesn't support? Happy to add a page number or adjust the citation if needed. Saji • talk 08:26, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

The book does not mention her name at all; it is plainly obvious that you are using an LLM here. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:34, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

If you are using LLMs to communicate here then you should stop; see WP:LLMTALK. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 08:27, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I write my own responses. that comment isn't consistent with WP:AGF. I don't need an LLM. Back to my question above: which specific sentence do you think isn't supported by the Žnidaršič source? Saji • talk 09:20, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I checked the Žnidaršič book directly and her name doesn't appear in it. I've removed it. The article now cites only the Slovenska biografija source, which does directly cover her life, teaching career, publications, and pseudonyms. Let me know if you spot anything else.

38 pages created. GA Lego Life, DYK Rebrickable, DYK En rejse til månen, DYKN Pym Test Kitchen, DYKN Lamplight Lounge. ~ A412 ^talk! 17:41, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I have a few issues with some of their articles. Planet Zoo: Arctic Pack has multiple unreliable sources (WP:VG/S), such as TheXboxHub and Impulse Gamer. Comments like this also don't fill me with confidence, as it shows they are not sure that articles they've authored meet the (admittedly stricter) notability guidelines of the WP:VG project. 23/41 of their articles are WP:STUBS, which are usually not too time-consuming for reviewers. (Whilst they did get Lego Life to GA, they did not author the article itself). My opinion obviously has little to no bearing on the decision here, but I think these factors demonstrate a need for continued second-looks, at least for the time being. Thank you for your contributions, @NewAccount7295, and for you recent participation at WT:VGRS (making an effort to learn is respectable and shows commitment to the project)! (Non-administrator comment) 11WB 💬 23:53, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I will point out that they are 88% author on Lego Life, which makes who has page creation credit rather irrelevant. ~ A412 ^talk! 01:26, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

I don't agree. It is the original author who assesses whether a topic (in this case Lego Life) is notable. Overhauling an existing article does not demonstrate that ability, which is required for AP. Else a bunch of non-notable articles would end up in mainspace without secondary review. 11WB 💬 02:27, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

@NewAccount7295, thanks for your work at DYK and your application here. I'm taking a look through your last several created pages. Can you comment on what makes RollerCoaster Tycoon Wonderworks notable based on the sources you selected and the coverage it has right now? Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:29, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Courtesy ping @NewAccount7295 to make sure you saw my question above. Thanks! Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:14, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

@Dclemens1971 While there are no reviews it is because the game is still upcoming and was recently announced. Articles analyzing it are linked in the sources (which you mentioned) and it is part of an already notable video game series so there is probably room for expansion. Could you elaborate a bit more on why you think it might not be notable? If you don't think it is you are welcome to nominate it at AFD. We can discuss the sources there and see other editor's opinions on it NewAccount7295 (talk) 20:30, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

@NewAccount7295 Here's my analysis on it. It hasn't been released yet, but like many games it gets pre-release coverage. In this case, the coverage is based on Atari's press release and promotional materials -- it has to be, since there's no game to experience or review. As a result, the coverage you've included isn't actually independent of the subject since it's solely based on information released by the game producer. Now, I'd anticipate that the game is likely to become notable once reviews trickle in, but it doesn't appear to have passed a notability guideline when you created it. (If there isn't qualifying coverage now, I'd suggest draftifying instead of AfD.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:30, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

I think @Dclemens1971's analysis is spot on. It's great that @A412 believes you have put out enough for AP, but over the past week or so, I've observed some serious issues with your knowledge of notability, @NewAccount7295. For one instance, at a recent AfD you counted a WP:VALNET source as SIGCOV when VG/S specifically makes clear that Valnet owned sources are not considered as such. My concern is that such articles based entirely on such sources could end up bypassing NPP were you to have this permission. I don't think now is the right time. This is a highly scrutinised perm and for good reason. (Sorry if this comes across as harsh, unfortunately it is the reality. You're doing great work. Keep it up in my opinion and AP can very likely be given later on.) 11WB 💬 02:18, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@NewAccount7295, please put aside 11WB’s comments as they will not be making any decision here. Do you have any thoughts on my analysis of the notability of the subject discussed above? My instinct is to decline the perm request at present because I do not think the Roller Coaster Tycoon article should have been created in this state (and its creation is so recent), but I’m interested in your perspective in case there’s anything you think I missed. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:21, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@Dclemens1971 A lot of the subjects I edit are of borderline notability, so I am okay not having it. You may decline it. (Plenty of upcoming video games have articles given their announcements have had coverage. As I said before, if you feel there isn't enough (I think it can be expanded with the current source) nominate it for draftification. I am okay with that. I actually welcome a nomination since we can discuss it with other users there.) NewAccount7295 (talk) 15:01, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

@NewAccount7295  Not done at this time, but I encourage you to keep creating articles and participating at DYK. The DYK regulars are also pros at notability, and by reviewing/promoting there I suspect you'll gain greater awareness of our notability standards. Another way to develop your skills in this area and assist new article creators is by reviewing articles at Articles for Creation. I invite you re-apply after a period of time if you feel like you've improved your understanding of our notability standards. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:42, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

I have been editing the English Wikipedia for over three years, with about 2,500 overall edits, and have created more than 70 mainspace articles. I regularly create sourced articles, particularly on historical, archaeological and biographical subjects. I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies on notability, verifiability, biographies of living persons, copyright and NPOV. My article creations generally do not require substantive New Page Patrol cleanup. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to reduce the New Pages Patrol workload due to existing strain. Omnipup1 (talk) 17:42, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I have started a discussion about your creations at the AI noticeboard here; it would be good if you could comment there. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:51, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I understand that autopatrolled is mainly about whether my new articles can safely bypass New Page Patrol. I am taking the concerns raised at AIN seriously and am going back over older articles where specific problems have been pointed out. I have commented at the noticeboard and begun reviewing three articles identified there: I have already revised Bayt al-Dhakira wal-Turath to remove redundant and over-attributed prose, and revised Hani al-Hayek's article with new material reflecting his activities since the page's creation. I would deal with the Saeed al-Amour article later this week.

I would appreciate it if this request could also be judged on the basis of my recent editing and current practice rather than examples of LLM usage from 2025 and early 2026, which predate the March 2026 change to WP:LLM. Since that time I have not used AI to generate article prose; and my LLM assistance is confined to the permitted use for translation from another-language (Arabic/Hebrew) Wikipedia for missing articles in English, with manual review and revision, with disclosure in edit summaries and/or talk pages. Omnipup1 (talk) 04:32, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

That just means that users won't be retroactively sanctioned for breaking the NOLLM guideline, old text is not "grandfathered in", and it is definitely relevant when considering granting Autopatrolled to to someone. And it is also demonstrably false that you stopped using AI after NOLLM was passed in March because Diff/1343935605 is from April, and would have violated the older NEWLLM version of the guideline as well. ‑‑gurkubondinn 11:27, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Apologies, I need to correct myself here. The edit that I linked is from March (not April). ‑‑gurkubondinn 11:57, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for raising this. I have commented at AIN and gone back through the three artcles mentioned there. I have already revised Bayt al-Dhakira wal-Turath and Hani al-Hayek in response to the concerns raised, and I will review Saeed al-Amour early next week as well.

I did use LLMs in some articles in 2025 and early 2026. After I recieved guidance on Wikipedia's LLM policies in March, I changed my practice and have limited LLM use to permitted purposes, mainly translation, with manual source checking, revision and disclosure.

I have been editing the English Wikipedia for more than three years, with 2,500+ edits. I would appreciate it if the request could be assessed on my recent creations and current editing practice.Omnipup1 (talk) 18:21, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

@Omnipup1, did you use an LLM to compose or edit your response above at 4:32 on 26 August? Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:32, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Of course not! Omnipup1 (talk) 18:50, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

It certainly read that way to me. I'll take you at your word, but the response does not give me confidence to action your request. I'll leave it here for another administrator to evaluate. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:07, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Dear @Dclemens1971, I believe assuming good faith is key. People may need to be advised on wiki regulations they might have been ill-informed before, like I may have been with regard to early articles I've contributed, but I have since then kept a good standing with significant contributions of primarily historical/geographic, archaeological and linguistic data in a field of Levantine and Israel/Palestine related subjects which are otherwise desiderata on Wikipedia. Again, thank you and your fellow users in reviewing this request. Omnipup1 (talk) 19:22, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

I am almost exclusively active in the paleontology space creating new pages for various types of fossil eggs. I've created several such articles and accepted genus and species taxa of vertebrates are automatically considered notable. Since there are still several dozen redlinks of fossil egg taxa, I am requesting autopatroll permission so as not to exacerbate the backlog of new pages as I create these articles. I have created 57 currently live mainspace pages. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 10:53, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Ashorocetus and thank you for your creations and your request here. Autopatrolled requires holders of the permission to demonstrate that they are familiar with WP:BLP and WP:N, and your creations, while of clear high quality, do not provide evidence of that since these taxa are considered automatically notable. Furthermore, your history shows a seven-year gap in page creation before this week, and species articles are not difficult for reviewers. I also don't see any evidence of participation at AfD, which is one way to tell how you handle more nuanced areas of notability. Is there anything in your edit history you can point to that would help me or another admin evaluate your understanding of notability and BLP policy? Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:07, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Dclemens1971 Yes I haven't been so active recently, due to some changes in personal situation. You're right I actually can't provide evidence of having serious interactions with the WP:N or WP:BLP policies. I have read those pages but haven't had to deal with any nuanced case. I'd be asking you to believe I understand them solely on the basis of my positive track record as a Wikipedia editor. My reason for requesting Autopatrolled permission is, as stated above, so that I don't waste reviewers' time on the numerous new fossil egg taxa pages I intend to create in the near to mid term future. If that is indeed no real concern, then I happily withdraw my request indefinitely. Sorry for the inconvenience. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 16:16, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

No inconvenience at all and thank you for applying. I have no objection if another admin wishes to grant the perm, but I don't see a need for it now. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:06, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting the Page mover right for this account. I am an alternative account of Cptabhiimanyuseven, and my main account already has the page mover right, New Page Patrol permissions, and other advanced privileges.

I also regularly participate in Articles for Creation draft reviewing. I understand and follow the policies and guidelines related to page moving, and I believe my main account's contributions demonstrate my experience with these processes.

@Kj cheetham: Hello there. I understand that my main account already has Page mover privileges, but I am requesting the same privilege for this account because I need to move pages to the Draft namespace without leaving redirects. This would grant me to carry out such moves more efficiently and without unnecessary issues.

Some editors create new articles directly in the mainspace even when the articles are incomplete or clearly not ready for acceptance. This creates additional work for New Page Patrol (NPP), as these pages need to be reviewed and, where appropriate, draftified in accordance with WP:DRAFTIFY.

I am requesting the Page mover permission so that I can help move such articles to the Draft namespace without leaving unnecessary redirects. This would also avoid the need to tag the resulting redirect for deletion or nominate it under R2 when the redirect is not useful.

I believe this permission would grant me to assist with NPP more efficiently while following the relevant policies and guidelines.RΣGΔRDS, ΔGΣΠT ∇IRΔJ _{(TΔLҜ / CΩΠTRI)} 10:20, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

I have left a comment about identifying alternative accounts at User talk:JBW#Sockpuppets, but more generally in terms of how to speak about an alternative account on Wikipedia, I would recommend "This is an alternative account" over "I am an alternative account" when speaking about this relationship. The important idea to convey is that this is not a role account, and that one Wikipedia editor ("I") in charge of both accounts. Dekimasuよ! 02:31, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Regarding the references, I have fixed the issue. You can now clearly see my alternative account in this edit. My information was not previously visible due to the page formatting issue. I am the owner of Agent Viraj.RΣGΔRDS, CPT ΔβHIIMΔΠUSΣ∇ΣΠ _{(TΔLҜ / CΩΠTRI)} 04:02, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

I am requesting page mover permissions for a very specific situation that I run into: I believe it is essentially never beneficial to not leave behind a redirect when moving a page (that is, I believe it is essentially always beneficial to leave one behind). However, the one exception to this is in cleaning up page move vandalism. I would like page move permissions to be able to revert moving vandalism without leaving a redirect behind, per WP:PMRC#1. ~ oklopfer (💬︎) 16:12, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Are you able to elaborate on how Rollback will help you in these situations? I'm not seeing a history of recent changes patrolling, but rather it appears you're requesting rollback to revert edits on pages on your watchlist; in such cases, Twinkle or manually reverting should be more than effective.

I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work in recent weeks but have been frustrated by my inability to be able to restore a previous version due to conflicting errors after vandalism.

I consistently notify users and reply to their messages, and try to assist them and tell them what they have done wrong.

Rollback rights for counter-vandalism editing. Contributions speak for themself Czarking0 (talk) 04:44, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) @Czarking0, you're (obviously) a productive and prolific editor. Rollback is usually provided for people who have extensive recent experience with RCP and antivandalism work specifically. If your request isn't acted on here it might be worth it to patrol the recent changes feed for a few weeks, reverting & warning using Twinkle or similar. TonySt  15:59, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm not sure how helpful rollback would be; in most cases, Czarking0, your reverts (undos) include explanation to editors as to why they are being reverted. Rollback is one-click and doesn't give you the opportunity to explain yourself (barring batch-rollback) as it's most often reserved for obviously bad edits or vandalism. I do recognize that you notify reverted editors often.. forgive me for leaving this to another admin. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 19:53, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

I've been making an effort to become more consistently active on Wikipedia, and I've recently reached 1,000 edits after a streak of activity. Of those 1,000 edits, the vast majority are anti-vandalism, with most being recent changes patrolling.

Hello, I would like to gain auto rollback rights. I have over 500 edits total, with well over 200 edits on mainspace pages. I have a history of reverting edits from vandalism, especially on pages, such as human height by country, and also have general experience reverting unproductive edits in general, not necessarily vandalism or not bad faith, from the recent changes page. I have a history of contributing to discussions through either talk pages on articles or user talk pages to alert them or to have discussions over edits that were made. If I were to be granted rollback rights I understand the responsibility involved, and I believe my edit history shows me to be a responsible user that has a history of reverting bad edits and vandalism, and operating in good faith on my own part, as well as being able to understand other perspectives and form consensus.
