There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES
The contentious topics procedure applies to this page; any editor who repeatedly or egregiously fails to adhere to applicable policies may be blocked, topic-banned, or otherwise restricted. Note also that editors on this article are subject to a limit of one revert per 24 hours (with exceptions for vandalism or BLP violations). Violation may result in blocks without further warning. Enforcement should be requested at WP:AE.

Also, the article and this Talk page may not be edited by accounts with fewer than 500 edits, or by accounts that are less than 30 days old. Edits made by accounts that do not meet these qualifications may be removed. (Such removals are not subject to any "revert-rule" counting.)

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Finally i understand. Thanks! InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 6/11/2024

I am not a participant here, just an admin trying to clear a backlog. Would one of the regulars please have a look at the edit request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit#Brianna Wu to correct a couple of sources? ~Anachronist (talk) 02:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fully-protected edit request on 7 July 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Done, now consistently lowercase. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
