[[Vietnam]]

Hi NinjaRobotPirate, it's been well over 4 years since you placed the Vietnam article under extended-confirmed protection due to sockpuppetry. Do you really think the current protection level is still necessary to this day? The Mexico article was also extended-confirmed protected in 2019 for the same reason, but had since been downgraded to semi-protection on December last year. Perhaps it's time to downgrade the protection level of this article to semi as a trial, considering the fact that it has gained just slightly less views than Mexico in the past year (see [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-06-07&end=2025-06-07&pages=Vietnam|Mexico here])? If you still think extended-confirmed protection is needed specifically for this article, then why aren't the other Southeast Asian country articles seeing the blue lock? For example, Singapore has gained nearly twice as more daily views than Vietnam in the past year (see [https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2024-06-07&end=2025-06-07&pages=Vietnam|Singapore here]), but is only fine with semi-protection. How come Laos completely lacks edit protection altogether? I'm still okay if the blue lock is still necessary here, given the fact [https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vi%E1%BB%87t_Nam the Vietnamese version of this article] is also under [https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Quy_%C4%91%E1%BB%8Bnh_kh%C3%B3a_trang#Kh%C3%B3a_m%E1%BB%9F_r%E1%BB%99ng its form of extended-confirmed protection].

: It looks like there have been some blanking sprees in Laos, too. It looks like other people are aware of it, so maybe they'll protect the article if it starts up again. Vietnam has been troublesome because blanking sprees happen in it when the protection expires. Thus, it's set to not expire. People can still request edits at Talk:Vietnam. It looks like activity is picking up somewhat on the talk page since the last time I looked, but it's still sparse, and I don't think it would be a good idea to unprotect the article while sock puppets are still active. The last edit to the talk page was reverted for block evasion. Admins who are curious why it's protected can look at my userpage on the private CheckUser Wiki.
