I don't see why that would be necessary as it has not been the target of any vandalism. --24fan24 (talk) 04:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

I don't see sorry being necessary at the beginning of this template. I could see this being appropriate if editors would see this message when trying to edit the page, but this template is shown on the article's talk page. Any opinions? --24fan24 (talk) 05:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguity

"This page is protected from editing indefinitely, as it is a page which should not be edited significantly for legal or other reasons."

The first clause is ambiguous in that "indefinitely" could just as well qualify "editing" as "protected". The implication could be that the page isn't protected from limited-term editing.

The second clause is ambiguous in that "for legal or other reasons" could equally well answer the question "Why shouldn't it be edited significantly?" as the question "What is the purpose of the significant edits?"

How about "This page is protected indefinitely from editing, as for legal and other reasons it is a page which should not be edited significantly"? Or even less wordy: "This page is indefinitely protected from editing, as for legal and other reasons it should not be edited significantly"? —Largo Plazo (talk) 07:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
