Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease
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.

Reason: The original reason for semi-protection was the increased traffic and subsequent vandalism the page experienced in 2022. (Around the time of her sexuality being news.) Significant time has passed since then, and there is no good reason to maintain the semi-protection so many years later. Notakeyring (talk) 20:16, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- @ComplexRational: as protecting admin per the bright yellow instruction at the top of this section. Favonian (talk) 20:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Reason: There is no reason given on the article talk page or anywhere else I can see that justifies Full Protection. It is a controversial subject article, but that in itself, does not warrant full protection. I understood that a rationale for article full protection on the talk page or elsewhere is required?
