Protected due to Pakaran edit warring with hymself. silsor 04:23, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)
nice to get a good laugh once in a while :) Kingturtle 04:24, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I think the page should be unprotected, or Pakaran should be banned. If nothing else, it should be reverted to my last version, with a protected header added. Thanks. Pakaran. 04:38, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I think that the evil Pakaran has finally learned his lesson. But watch yourself! -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 14:46, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC) is it alllowed to edit while protected?

The Clinton war and whimsy
Anthony DiPierro has removed this entry:
- Bill Clinton - edit war over which picture of him to use, when the photos are virtually identical except one is slightly darker and the other is 5 times as big.
citing the reason this page is dedicated to whimsy, and not to document real, contentious edit wars. Now, I'm hardly going to war over this, but I wonder about that guideline. Every single edit war listed here was a real, contentious edit war to someone. I, personally, found the Clinton one to be simply amusing when I looked it up in the article's history. How are we to settle these issues? Bryan 15:35, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
Jimbo Wales
I've removed the comment
because inspection of the history of that page reveals that the anonymous edit was that before the one changing the date and that the sysop doing the reversion must have gotten confused (no names no packdrill :-) --Phil | Talk 07:15, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
- To be fair, the date was changed by an anon a minute before Jimbo edited. Jimbo has forgotten to log in, and had to claim his edits, before. His own edit was the one mentioning that one link is to an outdated list. Pakaran. 17:11, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I'm removing Jimbo entirely, because, quite frankly, a single revert does not an edit war make. Snowspinner 22:55, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
- <whimsical> Jimbo was the one who named it a revert war, and how much more lame can you get? <Nigel Tufnel> none more lame! </Nigel Tufnel></whimsical>--Phil | Talk 07:25, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
Yay! The one revert war I've been in is on this, assuming it didn't happen before without me knowing...

A candidate in the making
Keep an eye on Talk:Charles Darwin/Lincoln. Should we or shouldn't we mention the fact that he was born on the same day as Abraham Lincoln? Ah, what better things to have a revert war and an RfC over... It hasn't quite reached its full lameness potential, but it's getting there. 82.92.119.11 20:38, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
