Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Whataboutism[edit]

Reason: The current protection status of the page limits the ability of a broader range of contributors to edit and improve its content. This restriction is particularly concerning given the page's apparent lack of political neutrality.

The article on "Whataboutism" exhibits a significant bias, predominantly reflecting a Western perspective. This bias skews the representation of whataboutism, often highlighting its use in contexts that criticize non-Western entities while downplaying or ignoring similar tactics employed by Western actors. This selective representation not only undermines the article's objectivity but also contravenes Wikipedia's core principle of maintaining a neutral point of view.

Allowing more contributors to participate in editing this page can facilitate a more balanced and comprehensive discussion. By reducing the protection level, we can ensure that diverse perspectives are represented, thereby enhancing the article's credibility and adherence to Wikipedia's standards of neutrality.

Thank you for considering this request. Your attention to ensuring the neutrality and accuracy of Wikipedia's content is greatly appreciated. 147.32.27.11 (talk) 14:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not unprotected – Please use an edit request to request specific changes to be made to the protected page. Talk:Whataboutism is not protected. Favonian (talk) 15:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bidaai (TV series)[edit]

Reason: Wanted to created a redirect at the title to Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai. But looks like the page was indefinitely fully protected quite a while a back for sockpuppetry. I don't think those concerns should apply presently. Gotitbro (talk) 16:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Video content analysis[edit]

Reason: Welcome Vanchay (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined – Article is not, and never has been, protected. Favonian (talk) 17:04, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elijah Collins[edit]

Reason: (Hope I'm doing this at the right place) - 12 years ago the title "Elijah Collins" was salted. The previous one was about a different subject, but now there's a notable NFL player with this name (see Draft:Elijah Collins) and the protection is preventing the draft from being published.
