  • 122.162.178.77 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) I gently warned this person about their unexplained, suspect removal of content from Raja Pervaiz Ashraf before I saw their two dozen plus edits from the past several hours. Each one I've reviewed looks like a random birthdate change, contentious removals or additions of unsourced ethnicity claims, and other iffy-at-best stuff. I'm not 100% sure they need a block quite yet but I'd really appreciate a rollback on everything they've done today. City of Silver 17:15, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment: I don't see any vandalism there. And reported after one first-level warning? signed, Willondon (talk) 17:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
@Willondon: As I explained, I wasn't aware of the rampage this user was on until after I left the warning. Had I seen all those edits first, I'd have started with a first-and-final. The vandalism itself is lowkey but it's very, very familiar to me because I patrol pending changes and there are tons of articles in the South Asian topic area that are under that level of protection. At Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, they removed the ethnic descriptor "Punjabi" from the lede even though Ashraf is unambiguously, uncontroversially Punjabi. South Asia has a long, ugly, ongoing history of hatred and bias over differences in race, religion, class, money, politics, and more and accordingly, BLPs like this (relevant to India and Pakistan and, to a lesser extent, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh) regularly get attacked.
Also, this anonymous editor has made several unexplained date changes, mostly to living persons' birth dates. That's not always going to be problematic but it's a red flag every single time. They've stopped since I left them a second-level warning but I doubt it'll last. City of Silver 18:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Johann van Beethoven[edit]

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Persistent & ongoing sockpuppetry/vandalism from IPs & named accounts regarding Johann van Beethoven birthdate.

Hero Wars (video game)[edit]

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – A dynamic IP has been reverting against an AfD consensus without making improvements. I'm nominally involved, so filling this as a request. It may be possible to rangeblock the IP, but it seems like there's some unrelated activity on the range (still, p-blocking it from this page in particular may be the cleanest solution). signed, Rosguill talk 14:34, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Kursk[edit]

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Persistent and non-stop IP vandalism. Random IPs keep on deleting source information, saying Boris Sokolov is not a historian despite giving no source nor using proper grammar, and ignoring the multiple other sources which cite his numbers and find them to be reliable, including Frieser and Toeppel.Reaper1945 (talk) 14:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Shortcuts

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.

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here
Shortcut

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.

Electric current[edit]

Change "An electric current is a flow of charged particles,[1][2][3] such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space." to "An electric current is the flow of a charge around an electrical conductor or through space." Reason: The DRIFT section lower down has it right. Up here, it's very wrong. Wiki should not promote wrongness or contradict itself. Please see here: "Drift speed The mobile charged particles within a conductor move constantly in random directions, like the particles of a gas. (More accurately, a Fermi gas.) To create a net flow of charge, the particles must also move together with an average drift rate. Electrons are the charge carriers in most metals and they follow an erratic path, bouncing from atom to atom, but generally drifting in the opposite direction of the electric field. The speed they drift at can be calculated from the equation: v = I n A Q {\displaystyle v={\frac {I}{nAQ}}} where v {\displaystyle v} is the drift velocity I {\displaystyle I} is the electric current n {\displaystyle n} is number of charged particles per unit volume (or charge carrier density) A {\displaystyle A} is the cross-sectional area of the conductor Q {\displaystyle Q} is the charge on each particle. Typically, electric charges in solids flow slowly. For example, in a copper wire of cross-section 0.5 mm2, carrying a current of 5 A, the drift velocity of the electrons is on the order of a millimetre per second. To take a different example, in the near-vacuum inside a cathode-ray tube, the electrons travel in near-straight lines at about a tenth of the speed of light. Any accelerating electric charge, and therefore any changing electric current, gives rise to an electromagnetic wave that propagates at very high speed outside the surface of the conductor. This speed is usually a significant fraction of the speed of light, as can be deduced from Maxwell's equations, and is therefore many times faster than the drift velocity of the electrons. For example, in AC power lines, the waves of electromagnetic energy propagate through the space between the wires, moving from a source to a distant load, even though the electrons in the wires only move back and forth over a tiny distance. The ratio of the speed of the electromagnetic wave to the speed of light in free space is called the velocity factor, and depends on the electromagnetic properties of the conductor and the insulating materials surrounding it, and on their shape and size." 2003:E3:EF1C:62AA:25FC:EBCA:B8B7:B6EE (talk) 08:33, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Not done – You have, correctly, made an edit request at Talk:Electric current#contradictory, sadly - entry paragraph is at odds with an excellent section further down to which I have added an {{edit semi-protected}} template to attract some attention. Favonian (talk) 15:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
