[edit] Recent vandalism

Since May 30th there's been nothing but vandalism. I've taken the freedom to semi-protect the article. --elias.hc 16:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Great. Now it's just a matter of doing the same for Genji. --Foot Dragoon 21:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

You are not an administrator Eliashc, and hence cannot initiate the protection of an article, semi or not. Request protection at WP:RFP. -Zero^Talk 13:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I knew I was exceeding my authority (none) when I did it, but I did it nonetheless (it had to be done). I'll request semi-protection if the vandal(s) should return. --elias.hc 14:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It has little to do with authority. Per software reasons, regular users are not capable of doing protection. The administrative tools permit that capability. The vandalism is also not long and dire enough to warrent protection. See the WP:SEMI policy. -Zero^Talk 14:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

"I was exceeding my authority" was meant as a humorous play on Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Too bad you didn't get it and took me seriously. --elias.hc 14:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I tend to regard most comments on wikipedia very seriously. I don't notice sarcasism easily. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is also a subject foriegn to me. -Zero^Talk 14:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

It's ranked #19 on IMDB. Great movie. As for the protection, I've removed Ridge Racer from Wikipedia:List of protected pages. Problem solved. --elias.hc 15:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
