Since the edit war is between a regular editor and
several sysops, is it ok to protect it, and that some
people (not included in the edit war) go on editing it
?
I looked for guidelines about this, and found none.
Just guidelines asking sysops included in the war to
please not edit the page. I found nothing about what
'other' sysops "proper" (with quotes) behavior should
be. What is the usual on the matter ? Is this ok that
controversial content is removed when the page is
protected (fortunately to be moved where it probably
belongs in this case, but with no consensus with the
one holding the generally-thought wrong opinion) ?
Why do we protect ? Is it the best choice in all
situations ? Did a protect/unprotect war already
happen ? Is it desirable ?
on a lighter note, do you like my new logo suggestion
?
Well, most of our regular contributors are sysops,
so can edit if we choose.
I doubt protecting it was that wise.

I've protected the page. I have no interest in
getting involved in the
dispute, so consider me a third party.
I am confused Dante.
I think that when I put the edit war header, that
page
was protected. Then why did Rmhermen edited it
to
remove the controversial content if it was
protected ?
And why did you need to protect it again ? Who
removed
the protection ??? Are the ones not included in
the
edit war authorized to edit it ? (I feel lost
here...could not there be a log of
protection/unprotection ?)
