This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Bit of an oversight not to mention the Catalan donkey even in the 'See also' section. It would make most sense to have a 'varieties' or 'breeds' section and then mention the Burro, Catalan donkey and perhaps wild breeds. I'm sure there are other varieties out there too with pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.172.66.58 (talk • contribs) at 1:10 on 20 Sept 2020 (UTC)

This edit request to donkey has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Why is this article protected from editing? There is no history of vandalism as far as I can see. Please remove the protection. Thank you. 86.134.165.23 (talk) 14:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Protection was added in August 2010 due to persistent disruption from unconfirmed users. There's not sufficient reason, in my opinion, to remove it: the Talk page does not show much history of constructive edit requests from unconfirmed users, who were unable to make those edits due to the protection.

Well, I am a user and I wish to make a number of edits. 14 years of protection is long enough - those troublemakers must have died by now. Please remove the protection. If there is trouble, you can always re-instate the protection for a week or a month. 86.134.165.23 (talk) 18:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Procedurally, WP:RFUP does require you attempt to contact the protecting admin (the latest of which was Courcelles) on their Talk page first, before proceeding with a general request. You're more likely to get a positive response on RFUP if you do this first. You may want to specify you're only requesting removal of semi-protection, not move protection, as this page has both. Unfortunately, this page has a long history of vandalism from unconfirmed users. It was first protected in January 2007; heavy IP vandalism immediately started again each time admins attempted to remove protection. (See [[1]]). They may be willing to try it again though.

My understanding was that all donkeys are asses, but not all asses are donkeys: that a donkey is a domesticated strain of ass. Wild asses, meanwhile, are undomesticated asses. Am I incorrect in this? Another editor recently revised the lead to conflate the two terms and I am not sure that’s correct. Jtrevor99 (talk) 15:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
level-4 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Not done: requests for decreases to the page protection level should be directed to the protecting admin or to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection if the protecting admin is not active or has declined the request. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 18:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
