A more efficient strategy
The problem with going through Special:protectedpages is that you have to identify the non-redirects for yourself and you also have to muck about looking at logs and stuff to identify likely unprotection candidates. Risker suggested looking at Database reports/Indefinitely semi-protected articles, which is neatly divided into Redirects and Non-redirects, and provides the timestamp, the username of the protecting admin, and the log message, all on one line.

This gives a list of (currently) some 1960 non-redirect articles that are indefinitely semiprotected. --TS 07:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Tranche 5
Using the September 3rd edition of the "Indefinitely semi-protected articles" report, sorted by timestamp.

Unless stated otherwise, reviews take place on the talk page of the article. If there are no serious objections and an admin does not immediately unprotect, I then go to Requests for page protection (WP:RFPP) to request unprotection if I think it's worth doing.
