WP:PROT says Indefinite semi-protection may be used for:
* Pages subject to heavy and persistent vandalism, such as theGeorge W. Bush article. * Biographies subject to persistent violation of the biographies of living persons or neutral point of view policies. or two other irrevelant reasons. The page is subject to indef semi-protection because of persistant vandalism (which is gets by the bucketload) and as a response to regular bouts of edit warring (and not only over images, but all hosts of other things to), and this is also specifically allowed by WP:PROT for an article with an active edit war. Protecting pages is far better than handing out stacks of 3RR blocks, but it's also far less inflammatory. This is really the primary concern. Rather than blocking trolls, just removing trolling keeps things more civil.
First of all [[Muhammad]] is not semi-protected, it is full-protected. Secondly the protection is a violation of [[WP:PROT]] which states, that "Administrators should not protect or unprotect a page for [edit warring] if they are in any way involved in the dispute.".
I would be happy, as an heretofore uninvolved admin, to go redo the protection so it's done by an admin who hasn't been involved.
That would be a symbolic moot point, so it's probably not worth bothering with, but if you insist on the technicality I will do so at the next opportunity.
No, I don't insist on the technicality, but I'd be happy if you'd state your reasoning.
