No one has accepted my offer to avoid editing the Augusto Pinochet article, so I'm withdrawing it. I made some minor edits this morning: nothing I think Cantus or 172 (Abe) would object to. Just added the same links I put in the other 1973-coup-related articles (which no one reverted or commented upon); broke the first paragraph into two parts; and tweaked a link to [[List of Presidents of Chile]] so that it would _not_ imply that Pinochet was "elected". Fair enough?
By the way, I am perfectly willing to be held to the same standards as any other admin. So if there is an unwritten rule that we should not (1) unprotect an article, (2) edit it & (3) leave it unprotected; then I will be happy to follow this rule. But I think it should be written down somewhere, so I don't forget it.
There are lots of rules, and sometimes they change faster than I can keep up with. I appreciate any guidance others wish to give me, and in case of doubt I'm always willing to stop editing any given article -- or even to take some time off.
We're all in this together, and we need to help each other to make an accurate and neutral encyclopedia. I try not to take offense when people give me guidance, and I'm sorry if I've given offense when trying to guide others.
Abe, will you accept my apology?
