Unlock?

Is this page really so controversial as to require locking? Wikipedia seems to be getting further & further away from its roots & admins seem to be gathering more & more power for themselves.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240F:CA:2CE5:1:9430:B51E:9FD9:F2BF (talk) 05:41, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

:This is nothing to to with admins (of whom I am not one) gathering more power, but simply using their tools to prevent articles from getting disfigured by vandalism. The page has been semiprotected for over three years, so we can probably try unprotecting it now. I'll ask, without the uncivil garbage, the protecting admin, {{u|EdJohnston}}.
