Why this page is fully protected?
Why is this page fully protected? It's currently the only article (not a redirect) that is indefinitely fully protected. I haven't found any particular reason for this. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 17:25, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Because the page has been a troll-magnet for quite a while. A particularly dumb edit war over grammar, of all things, and whether anyone should be an expert on the subject herself to even be qualified to edit simple grammar mistakes (or something), was the last straw. [Here is where it is archived]. Protection was downgraded to a few months, until a troll tried to dox her ({see here]).CRBoyer 18:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Finally i understand. Thanks! InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Consistency with the earlier capitalization of "8th District" seen in the article as "Wu moved to the 8th District in order to challenge the incumbent Lynch.", seen under the 2018 congressional bid sub-section of the Career section. EggRoll97 (talk) 21:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- The first mention is "She challenged Rep. Stephen F. Lynch of the 8th district" with district lowercase, and the article is Massachusetts's 8th congressional district. I think it would make more sense to go for consistently lowercase than consistently uppercase. * Pppery * it has begun... 12:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done, now consistently lowercase. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
