template should be used.
Change the "mainly Hezbollah members" note on the casualties to "mainly civilians" as a large swath of Hezbollah casualties were apart of their political wing and considered civilians under international law, as well as ensuring the hundreds of medical staff who use pagers and were injured are not ignored. By simply stating that the majority of casualties were apart of Hezbollah, is suggests that the majority of casualties were non-civilian, which is inherently incorrect as stated above. It is imperative that this fact be clarified to prevent misinformation and further demonization of Lebanon.
Furthermore, it must be stated clearly and constantly that not only were the vast majority of the victims civilians, but that such an attack is, by definition and intent, a terror attack on Lebanon by israel (as israel has now confirmed they were behind it and had been planning it for an unspecified length of time). The severity of the attack in the context of international law must also be stated clearly as this is a clear violation of the Geneva Convention and general international law that protects civilians from attack and prohibits the use of terrorism a a legitimate manner of warfare.
For evidence to the above claims, see https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/9/18/israels-war-on-gaza-live-thousands-injured-in-lebanon-pager-explosions in which multiple quotes from israel, Hezbollah, the Lebanese Health Ministry, the UN, and various other third-parties with weight on the issue can be found and used to validate the above claims. Against the Empire (talk) 05:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
(I did not put the talk page by mistake in the page title field, that was intentional)
Add topic about the sentence "It is not clear if only Hezbollah members were carrying the pagers" in the third paragraph of the article, with the next paragraph as the body of the topic:
The sentence "It is not clear if only Hezbollah members were carrying the pagers" appears to contradict other pieces of information in the article, specifically that two children died from the explosions. Hezbollah doesn't seem to have a history of using child soldiers in any capacity. The reported ages of the children who died seem to be around the range of 8-11, so I think it's safe to assume that the children who died were not members of Hezbollah. The size of the explosions wouldn't of been enough to kill someone without being in close proximity to it (its not like the pagers had a blast radius of several hundred meters), which implies that the children were either holding the pager or in close proximity to the pagers. Therefore, it can be assumed that non-Hezbollah members were carrying pagers. Granted, I doubt these children were carrying around a pager wherever they went, but they must've been relatively close to it in order to be killed by the pager (as in, holding or carrying the pager).
The reason why I'm saying to add a topic to the talk page instead of just "remove this sentence from the article" is because it's debatable if it actually does contradict, and I'd prefer to get some consensus about it beforehand. I can't request an edit of the article on the talk page due to it being protected, so I can't just use the edit request to gauge consensus on this issue. This could also very well be considered WP:OR, I'm of the opinion that "the explosive that requires one to be close to it to hurt them implies that people who were hurt by it were close to it" would fall under WP:CALC, but I could see consensus going either way on this. AlexChillOut (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Remove ", including at least 12 civilians" in second sentence. The citation links to an ABC News article which says that "At least 12 civilians were killed and at least 2,800 people injured in the explosions that took place Tuesday, according to Lebanese authorities." However 12 is the total number of people that were reported killed from the Tuesday explosions, not the number of civilian casualties. 104.246.129.48 (talk) 05:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]
I would like to introduce an exceptional editor and author with a amazing track record in editing and article creation. Created 182 articles, none of which have been deleted, with the majority focusing on BLPs. Nice editor, and it’s clear that he is one of the editors for whom this user right was created. GrabUp - Talk 17:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Of course, I am ashamed that I have not yet made 400, 300 or even 150 articles and most likely will never make that many. But I can say in my «defense» that more than half of them are rare goods, they are world premieres. Before that, there were no such articles in Wikipedias. And I had to create Wikidata for many of them, categories on Commons and start from scratch. It is important for me to make articles in the English Wikipedia, because this immediately promotes a new topic to the whole world. --- - Names·nik·tlk 16:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
A good editor with a solid history of article creation, having created 135 articles, with only one being PROD’d in 2014 and another AfD’d in 2018. The other three deletions, which were G6 and G8, are not particularly significant. Since 2018, none of their articles have been deleted. Their article creation primarily focuses on BLPs, demonstrating their knowledge of notability guidelines. I don’t believe they would abuse the right, and granting it would help reduce the backlog. GrabUp - Talk 05:32, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
A good editor and content creator, they have created a total of 133 articles. One was deleted via G14 in 2022, and another was deleted via A3 back in 2014. Since then, they have created many BLPs and other topic articles, none of which have been deleted. I think they are good to go. GrabUp - Talk 16:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting access for updating census data of highly populated Indian villages in Kerala state and other human settlements on this planet in future. Pachu Kannan (talk) 10:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like access to AWB to fix CheckWiki issues more efficiently than I currently do using WPCleaner. I also want to streamline typo fixing as part of WP:TYPO. I understand I have been denied it twice in the recent past, but I strongly believe that I am fit for getting the permission now, as I gained significantly more experience and done more constructive edits. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
I would like to use AWB's Checkwiki functionality to alter position of references with respect to punctuation and incorrect ISBNs as I am frequently revising pages that need reference issue support; use find and replace for music album title issues; and use AWB for assistance on creating and correcting items and links within categories of music genres, domestic flag information, and public parks. Thank you. Shotgunheist 💬 19:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Improve articles' layouts, correcting Spanish settlement infoboxes, changing IPA-va (depricated) to IPA|ca-valencia, adding IPA, correcting links, etc. I had AWB rights in the past, however I stopped using Wikipedia due to COVID-19.

New page reviewer[edit]
I want to be able to branch out and explore different aspects of Wikipedia, as article creation does tend to get boring nowadays. I have made 340 pages, 4 of which were deleted (all 4 were from June or earlier). I have no track record of incivility that I am aware of besides a heated conflict back in April, and am a host at the Teahouse. I have commented or voted on ~45 AfDs, and have sent several of my articles through AfC, and I know how the policies work there. If possible, I'd also like to request just a 1-month trial, as I want to see what the tool is like before I commit to it.

Hello! I have some experience creating article and so far, I have been guiding new users to edit Wikipedia as well as reviewing their drafts. I will like to request the new page reviewer following my understanding of how it works (This took a while for me, however I am very good now following several trainings). Looking forward to my request been granted!. Tesleemah (talk) 19:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
I was hoping to participate in the NPP Sep. backlog drive, since I missed the last one. I have some article writing experience, and regularly interact with newcomers during RC patrolling. I also have a decent AfD nomination ratio, with the same being true of my CSD log. Overall, I think I would make a useful addition to the NPP team, and hope to be trusted with this responsibility. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 01:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Besides a few articles and redirects that I sometimes create, I often help others with improving and reviewing their drafts and newly created articles. If I could then mark the articles as reviewed and use the other review tools, this work would be even more effective. Thanks. Killarnee (talk) 17:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am adding request to become a New Page Reviewer on Wikipedia.

Hi, I would like to request for NPP rights to help reduce the huge backlog of NPP reviewers. I have familiarized myself with the prerequisite required for this permission. I started to help out in draftspace of my interest, and noticed that there are quite of huge backlog that are pending review, in which only NPP reviewers are allowed to accept/reject it, I believed with my knowledge, I can volunteer to reduce it.

I occasionally rename new articles to fix poor titles. I also sometimes want to move new articles to draftspace. Generally, neither case needs a redirect for the old title. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 11:23, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm requesting the page mover permission to help deal with the backlog on Wikipedia:Requested moves, particularly the technical moves but also the requested moves with clear consensus. I have been participating in such discussions with some frequency for a while now, also suggesting the move of some pages myself (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., all of them moved), and I believe my participation with this permission would be beneficial to the project, especially regarding the backlog, as previously mentioned. Sometimes I try to close obvious consensus, but without being a page mover, I cannot do so and have to rely on a page mover (e.g., 1, 2, 3). I have read the policy and, for what it's worth, I always adopt the maxim "if I am not sure, I won't do it" in my edits.

Rollback[edit]
Hello there, I'm requesting for permissions because I know it will save a lot of time my time to undo problematic edits. I have read the guidelines for how and when to use rollback so yes am ready. Cheers
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have over 800 edits, most of which are on the main space. I am aware I have a somewhat lousy history with giving proper edit summaries, as i didn't fill out revision summaries, but I have tried to rectify it. I was also involved in a dispute which might have been classified as an edit war back in April. Other then that I have a clean slate. Thanks for considering.
