Downgrade protection for the article: United States

So many editors are locked out because they don't have extended-confirmed access. Please put the article United States in a probationary period of auto confirmed access to see whether extended-confirmed is truly needed. Its been 2 years since the last protection log and I think testing the waters is safe now. My proposal also suggests that if vandalism occurs twice at all in the probationary period, the probation is considered as failed and the United States will remain under indefinite extended-confirmed. 135.180.61.27 (talk) 05:45, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I merely re-protected the article after a brief spell of full protection due to a content dispute. The original protection was put in place by El C, as may be seen from this log entry. Personally, I wouldn't reduce the protection. Just too many ill-intentioned editors around. Favonian (talk) 09:28, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Favonian I noticed you reverted my edit for the request to downgrade protection for the article Adolf Hitler. Is there a reason why? 135.180.61.27 (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page jaguar) I can't speak for them, but if I were to revert your edit, it would be because I denied the request, as the justification for the request (i.e. "maybe the coast is clear now in 2025 when it wasn't last decade") is impossible to find compelling. We assume good faith around here, but it's difficult to see where you got the ideas you have; they do not match up with my experiences in the world or on the wiki.

I didn't revert your request, I declined it: Special:PermaLink/1277583445#Adolf Hitler. Favonian (talk) 06:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
