Requests for page protection

You are currently viewing the requests for edits to a protected page subpage of Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Requests for specific edits should be made on the talk page of the protected article. You can create an edit request below only if the talk page is also protected, preventing you from editing it. Instructions You may add the appropriate template ({{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}}) to the article's talk page if you would like to request an edit be made. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. For edit requests being made due to the editor having a conflict of interest with the article subject (see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used instead of the others listed above. Requests to move pages that are currently move-protected should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not on this page. This page is not for holding discussions regarding content. Otherwise, if you are unable to add a request to the article's talk page, you may use this page to propose a specific edit to be performed. Vague requests that don't propose a specific edit will be declined. Request a specific edit be made to a protected page Request edit

Gaza genocide

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

Clarify this line. "As of December 2025, at least 70,117 people in Gaza had been killed,[35][17] with estimates ranging between at least 186,000 and 335,000 between June and the end of 2024"

If lower bound of the estimate is "at least 186,000" I didn't understand why the same line says "at least 70,117" - surely it is one or the other? StupidLookingKid (talk) 12:21, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Apologies - link was broken https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide StupidLookingKid (talk) 12:22, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

The context seems to be direct versus indirect deaths. See Gaza genocide#Indirect deaths and citation 187. I agree this could be clarified. The numbers 70,117 and 335,000 appear only in the lead, which violates WP:LEAD because the lead should be an overview of the body text, not introduce information that isn't available anywhere else in the article. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 13:19, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Not done for now, because I am not sure how to change it. I have started a discussion at Talk:Gaza genocide#Nonsense in the lead. ~Anachronist (who / me) (talk) 14:27, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Many thanks - just struck me as odd as I was doing random browsing StupidLookingKid (talk) 15:03, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
