Most of these seem to be rather trivial edit woars
over alternative name
spellings. Protecting the articles is pointless. If they want to keep
beating each other over the head over this they should feel free to do
so.
This behaviour interferes with other users. The article Richard Neustadt
remained protected for several days when the subject was timely but the
article still needed work. It was listed on the Main page for several
hours (Neustadt had just died) but a sysop took it off because of the edit
war.
