Request for reducing page protection level
Hi ToBeFree. Hope you have a good time. 3 months has passed since your added semi-protection to Janelle Monáe. The last discussions about her gender identity (pronouns) were in April 2022.[1][2] The IPs who changed her pronouns in November 2022, never came to discuss it. The article has enough watchers and contributors. So I think indef PC protection is fine for this article; allowing IP users to contribute but preventing them from doing such unhelpful changes. --Mann Mann (talk) 07:12, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Mann Mann, hm. I'm generally hesitant about manually removing such protections before their automatic expiration date. Is there a specific reason why the article is in a sudden need of IP editing? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:30, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Not an urgent need but Janelle Monáe is an active artist so I think IP editing could be helpful for keeping the article updated and addition of new content. --Mann Mann (talk) 14:37, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- As long as you're having an eye on these edits, it won't be too bad. I have unprotected the article for now; please notify me if significant disruption resumes. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Lev Vygotsky needs attention
An IP editor apparently has decided to rewrite the entire article using translations of Russian article(s) from somewhere. Seems to me that this isn't the best approach. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:21, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Skywatcher68, they seem to use a Russian Wikipedia article as a base for rewriting the English one. That's not inherently problematic as long as attribution is provided, and I have now reminded them about the requirements (WP:CWW). ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:24, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
President of Singapore needs attention
Various editors have been engaged in an edit war at President of Singapore over the past few weeks. I see one of them tried to get consensus at Talk:President of Singapore but repeatedly removed content before consensus was reached. Now there's an IP hounding a recent participant.
