Hello
As you have made comments of the discussion page of the ] article, it would be greatly appreciated if you would contribute to the debate on it's Articles for Deletion page. Thanks!

== Protection of John McCain ==

Hi Jossi - I completely agree. The length of the protection was because the article was already semi-protected and move protected until December 1, and if I set a different expiry date I would cause those other two protections to expire then as well. As I noted in , I fully intend to unprotect the article (or would endorse another uninvolved admin doing so) much sooner than December - I was thinking on the order of a couple of days. I hope that clarifies things. ] (]) 23:14, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

::Left to my own devices I'd probably agree with you (if you check the talk page, you'll notice that I actually announced earlier today that I was about to unprotect it), but there seems to be a pseudo-consensus to fully protect McCain, Obama, Biden, and Palin until after election day, so I'm divesting myself of any involvement until that gets figured out on ANI (it may already have been figured out - I haven't been paying attention). ] (]) 22:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

== Barack Obama's article ==

Hi. I agree with your decision to downgrade the protection level on this page. It's not proper to allow only administrators to edit a page like that. That should really be in cases of extreme vandalism, or for certain non-project space articles, IMHO. - ] (]) 05:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

:Unfortunately the protection was not downgraded, just the tag - non admins, even experienced editors, are still not allowed to edit these articles and it's wrong. As I said on AN/I, I don't think removing the tag accomplishes what you want, Jossi - if we're in violation of principle we ought to be up front about it. Or stop violating the principle. <strong>]</strong>/<small>]</small> 07:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Hall protection ==

Jossi, might you leave a note at Thetoxicdump's talk page to explain the protection to him? Obviously I could, but I think it'd be better for you to do so. He's fairly new and seems eager to add a lot to that article, he's just not conforming to standards of style and content that well which is where this reverting derives from. I've tried to engage him in conversation about it at his talk page, but as far as I can tell, his only communication on Misplaced Pages, so far, has been one image talk comment where he tried to justify the logo's existence. If you could just leave him a note explaining what the protection means, and what you're suggesting, I'd appreciate it. ] (]) 04:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Why is this article protected? You might want to check tu uso de las herramientas. Ya te llevas o que?] (]) 06:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

== Your block of Parthian Scribe ==

Jossi, why the heck did you ''block'' Parthian Scribe? And for "vandalism"? The worst that I see there is an abuse of rollback, nothing blockable. ]]] 17:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
:Indeed, I must concur here with J.Delanoy. I don't see anything that could be construed as vandalism in any form; I see him making a good-faith change to an article, I don't see where he vandalised anything... He may have been edit-warring, but then again, he never reverted more than once, and his edits were not all that controversial. Please review your block of this user, and consider lifting it. --].].] 18:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

: Thanks for the heads-up. That was a false positive during the vandalism attempts after the election results were announced. I have unblocked. ] <small>]</small> 19:59, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

== re: ] ==

Which article exactly is the editor being blocked for the 3RR-vio?

As near as I can tell from the contrib history :
#Yesterday was the 1st time the editor has touched something in more than a week, and
#There are no triple edits.

Was the article in question deleted or moved?

I'm cross posting this at the editor's request to be unblocked. A prompt answer would be appreciated.

Thanks,

- ] (]) 15:26, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

: Check the contribs list: Edit warring is not just 3RR vios. Let him have a break of a few days so that he can reconsider the way he is participating in the project. ] <small>]</small> 16:02, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
