Request removal of "Web 3.0" protection
I see that you have prevented the creation of a "Web 3.0" Wikipedia page: https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=protect&page=Web+3.0
I believe that such a page is long overdue, at least to address controversy over the term. The interpretation of Tim Berners-Lee on Semantic Web#Web 3.0 is not the only prominent use of the term by a prominent person. Gavin Wood is also very prominent, and he has long used the term to describe something other that the "Semantic Web": Why we need Web 3.0, a view which is supported by this article in Forbes: What The Heck is Web 3.0 Anyway?. Others have used (and "coined") the term with other meanings: Web 3.0, The Third Generation Web is Coming --Ben Best:Talk 18:43, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
