[WikiEN-l] New York Times article

Sat Jun 17 14:59:00 UTC 2006

For the record, the Einstein article was only protected recently
because a stubborn editor was insisting on changing the formatting to
meet his own personal requirements and was revert warring. However
after a week of this he finally agreed to stop after he was instructed
as to how to modify his own monobook.css to make it display for him
how he wanted to. It is currently unprotected.

In any case, it's a boring reason for why it was protected, and had
nothing to do with its content or it being a controversial article
(which except for a few anti-Einstein cranks, it has not been).
