Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Edit
Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
- Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among
{{Edit protected}},{{Edit template-protected}},{{Edit extended-protected}}, or{{Edit semi-protected}}to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed. - Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the
{{Edit COI}}template should be used. - Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
- If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
- This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

I'm not sure why the aticle describes Yasuke as a samurai. For justification to state that, there should be some official documents saying that Yasuke was indeed granted the rank of samurai. There are none. The do not exist. They state he was a retainer, which is very different... No official historical documents or accounts depict or mention him as a samurai yet the article states his being a samurai as fact. Can all mentions of him being a samurai be removed? The following should be altered: "Yasuke (Japanese: 弥助 / 弥介, Japanese pronunciation: [jasɯ̥ke]) was a man of African origin[2][3] who served as a samurai"
"As a samurai, he was granted a servant, a house and stipend"
"first recorded foreigner to receive the title of samurai" (is is not recorded...)
Most of the attributions for samurai are 2024 or very modern opinions. That's absolutely ridiculous. There are no historical documents saying such and should not be considered true.

Not done. @BleachBoy18: This is already addressed in the FAQ at the top of the talk page, and also there seem to be extensive talk page discussion on this topic. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
