User talk:Msg:protected

Only Wikipedia:Administrators can protect articles. Please stop putting that message on articles that are not protected. It may be considered vandalism. Dori | Talk 20:11, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)

Please change your username. It is misleading, because it is very similar to "{{msg:protected}}". Thanks. Guanaco 20:29, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Note that if a page is protected for neutrality or accuracy disputes, such a disclaimer should always be added. Just because the first person to challenge a page's neutrality or accuracy can't do so within polite protocol, doesn't mean that the dispute can be ignored or sidestepped. Sometimes, just the acknowledgement that the dispute is taken seriously cools things down, and lets the more aggressive editor think through their objections.

This is not how these tags should be used. Please stop adding this to the protection policy without any attempt to explain why. Angela. 22:28, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

Please could I add my voice to those asking you to pick a new username. You are not compelled to do so, but there are various why it would be helpful. See also Wikipedia:Username. Pcb21| Pete 23:27, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hey, as with the users above, I'd like to urge you to change your username. Andre (talk) 23:26, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

Contrary to the users above, I support your continued usage of your current username. Confusion can be dealt with if and when it occurs. --Node 07:28, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Please change your username -- it is sufficiently confusing that the community may eventually force a change for the good of the community (the name will be seen by many as intended to confuse new users). Changing it voluntarily would be much better, I think. I hope you do too. Jwrosenzweig 23:24, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
