Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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: Move protection was never really needed because there is no history of bad moves. Unprotection is needed because the page should be (uncontroversially) moved to match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail/Merseytravel and also to follow how Transport for London underground and overground lines are named. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

PAGE) 17:47, 16 December 2024 (UTC) - Uncontroversial page moves may be requested at WP:RM/TR. — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: The page was marked as being protected due to BLP, and is still listed under that reason despite Stern dying in 2020. I am making this request per this discussion, and I am very hesitant to do so, given my concerns about the page possibly being vandalized again (hence why making the edit request was my first choice) but maybe that's just me. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 12:08, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- If you have concerns about the page possibly being vandalised, why are you requesting a reduction in protection level? — Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:45, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
- Because Cyberdog958 recommended I do so in the linked discussion. Note also the part above where I said "maybe that's just me." 100.7.34.111 (talk) 14:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: May you please Request to Unblock it. 139.216.66.198 (talk) 07:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
