Protected?[edit]

I was going to leave a comment on this, but for some reason this page seems to be protected. I can't see any reason why this is the case - please can it be unprotected? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:27, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Peel: Protecting archived bot requests has been common practice on Commons for a very long time; the bot flag for ArchiveBot has been granted, and there is no point in re-opening the discussion again. If you have any suggestions as to how the bot's functioning can be improved, please contact Fastily directly. odder (talk) 19:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks Odder. I'm used to discussions being clearly archived, rather than pages being simply protected to prevent additional comments, so this came as a bit of a surprise to me. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:40, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
