Your protection of WIZZARD

Hey Tom, just thought I would pop in and ask if you are willing to lower the protection level on the article wizard that you just set to full. WP:PINKLOCK says, "A template-protected page can be edited only by administrators or users in the Template editors group. This protection level may only be used on high-risk templates and modules and possibly in rarer cases where pages in other namespaces become transcluded to a very high degree." Then it goes on to say, "This is a protection level that replaces full protection on pages that are merely protected due to high transclusion rates, rather than content disputes." I think that the Wizard applies here because it was not protected as the result of a content dispute but instead because of the fact that it is a highly visible page that often gets accidentally edited by unknowing new editors. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} (etc) 14:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jerwood Gallery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christopher Wood. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I say!

I just noticed that the how-to link in the Rollback message you left me explicitly directs users to the New admin school. We pass dozens of rollbacks and .5 administrators per week; saying "even though you're not an admin" seems absurdly gratuitous. ResMar 23:16, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Joseph Reagle for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Joseph Reagle is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Reagle until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Geogene (talk) 23:26, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Geogene: I did not create this article. On August 1, 2011, I created a redirect from Joseph Reagle to his book Good Faith Collaboration. Nearly a year later, Novonium turned the redirect into a stub. It's probably better if you notify the actual article creator rather than the person who made a redirect. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:26, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
