The page in question is only semi-protected, meaning that all registered users (after waiting two or three days from registration) are automatically able to edit it. For a picture of why it's currently protected at all, see this section of the history showing lots of vandalism recently when the article was completely unprotected (typically edits like this and this). We often put semiprotection on articles like this and for precisely the same reason. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 23:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Why is there any level of protection on the article Jimmy Wales, yet there are few other biographies of living persons on Wikipedia that are so protected? Is it because you and Jimmy don't trust the "wiki way" to produce responsible, accountible reference pages related to living people, but you extend the courtesy of "protection" to those who are on the "inside"? It just doesn't seem fair. Like a Chevy salesman who won't let his family drive anything but BMW's. You seem like a hypocrite, just like Jimmy. - Six Eleven (talk) 22:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
