Time to remove semi-protection?

It looks like this article has been semi-protected for well over 5 years. It seems like this was done around a time of numerous edits which were adding questionable content.

It's not clear to me that this would still necessarily be a topic that would attract significant controversial edits or outright vandalism. What is the process for having the semi-protected status reviewed? 220.235.82.123 (talk) 04:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar! 220.235.82.123 (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I think PC would be a better option than full unprotection here. TheRichCapitalist (talk) 05:46, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I disagree. This article was semi-protected indefinitely by MaterialScientist on Thanksgiving of 2015 due to vandalism, according to the edit history. Magnesium is also a high profile article, so it must be semi-protected like all the other articles on well known elements. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:F12F:8FF3:F8CF:640E (talk) 21:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Seemingly typos?:

"Reduced occurs at high temperatures with silicon...iron component is innoncuouse."

Should be:

"Reduction occurs at high temperatures with silicon...iron component is innocuous."

Though it seems this whole passage is written a bit awkwardly and could be improved upon. Maybe:

"Reduction occurs at high temperatures with silicon. A ferrosilicon alloy is used rather than pure silicon as it is more economical. The iron component has no bearing on the reaction." 214.28.226.87 (talk) 16:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
