:Ummm... sorry, just getting in this morning and had no idea I was 'involved' here. My edits to the Guideline page were two '''weeks''' ago and had to do with trying to end an entirely ''different'' argument (how to display the 'shortcut' links rather than the current 'feel free' vs 'exercise caution' wording debate) which I believe had already been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties before I protected the page. My 'comments' on the current debate have been a few simple attempts to nudge the parties towards dialog rather than 3RR violations over the bleeding RFC entry of all things. Frankly, I think most admins would block for that sort of nonsense. I don't care for blocks, or even page protection... generally I think they can stifle collaboration, but in this case the situation was clearly out of control. --] 10:11, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

===={{la|Mother Teresa}}====
'''Semi-Protection''' . Information reverted once again by user ]. His explanation for revert was "we don't remove attributed opinions because we disagree with them". The user in question clearly understands that the "Controversy" section in the article Mother Teresa, is '''opinion'''. The following "opinions" are throughout the "Controversy" section:
The personal views of ], described by Misplaced Pages authors as a "Contrarian" - One who takes a contrary view or action, especially an investor who makes decisions that contradict prevailing wisdom, as in buying securities that are unpopular at the time. Hardly a person to use as an encylopedic, credible reference. According to his Misplaced Pages article, he is known as "...for his iconoclasm, anti-clericalism, atheism, anti-fascism and anti-monarchism." Furthermore, this is not a figure to be used as an encylopedic source. As we all know, information is never truly erased on a Misplaced Pages article, it is more so, displaced temporarily. I removed the information after it was clear no authors were working to clean the overbearing rancor and bias in the article.

Throughout the entire 25 paragraphs in the controversial sections, there are only 3 sources available. However, there is an abundance of markers labeled "Citation Needed" throughout those 25 paragraphs. The information needs to be removed '''TEMPORARILY''' until a group of authors can sort through the controversial sections. Whoever listed the information did a very decrepit job of compiling the information, with no references, sources of any kind, but an obvious bias to enstate controversial themes throughout the entire article. Please respond to this post at the Talk page of the article "Mother Teresa".

===={{La|Dhimmi}}====
I'm not sure how long it takes these POV debates to get resolved, and I don't know if wikipedia can stipulate the conditions under which editing can continue... but I would argue that the Dhimmi section can be edited if there's a new writing strategy.

The problem has been that there is no universal agreement as to what Dhimmi means. This problem is compounded with people ranging in attitudes from pro-Islam to anti-Islam to neutral, all trying to peg the single interpretation that they believe is the 'one true meaning'. There is also a subtle effort to compare dhimmi with modern standards for religious minorities, and muting comparison with the standards for religious minorities that preceded it.

I think the most positive step to resolving this would be to illustrate that dhimmi is a wavering concept, like Democracy. Just as interpretations of Democracy have changed throughout history, and vary from location to location, so has the implementation of policy towards Dhimmi. The Dhimmi page should be broken down in "Dhimmi in the Quran", "Religious Minorities Before Islam", "Dhimmi in the Ottoman Empire", "Dhimmi in Arabia", "Dhimmi in Non Muslim Countries", "Dhimmi in the 20th Century" and so on. That would allow contributors (and thus readers) to seperate the individual interpretations from the overall concept.

I'm afraid I don't personally know enough to verify the actual factual claims. Hence why my suggestion focuses on organizing the article in a way that reflects the fluidity of meaning.

If the article remains organized as it is now, more disputes over what is POV and what is fact will be inevitable. Hence, if we cannot ensure that the article is reorganized, it should remain protected.

No new topics have been brought up in the talk pages by the offended parties. I think protection should be removed to see if the parties can commence editing without becoming nasty. --] 14:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit Shortcut

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
