Anyway, the more I consider the facts, the less
convinced I am. The
problem is in the interpretation of "anyone can edit". Does it mean
"anyone who wants to edit, can", or does it mean "anyone at all can
edit". Normally this wouldn't matter, but it's critical if we're
attempting to measure "anyone-can-edit-ness" (ACEN).
Anyone can drive on the public roads. Of course you need a licence and need
to know the rules of the road. It's just common sense, we don't need to
fine-tune it.
The problem is that semi-protection lasts longer
than full protection, as a rule, so that in general
this comparison is
far from true.
What, they can't wait 4 days to edit an article that's a huge source of
vandalism - yet they can still edit the other 99.999% of articles? Boohoo.
