I want names.
According to the edit history, there has been one edit in the past five
days:
# (cur) (last) . . 23:30, Nov 7, 2003 . . Cyan (hopefully uncontentious
point of factual accuracy (page is protected)
Given that:
--He's aware of the delicacies involved
--His edit was a factual correction to Neustadt's place of death
--His edit was unrelated to the portion of the article that sparked the
edit war that caused the page to be protected
I don't think I'd consider this an abuse of sysop status.
The edit war was rather silly as well: a dispute between Lir and Wik
over whether the first mention of a certain president should be
"President Clinton" or "President Bill Clinton", with opposing sides
arguing "the former does not give enough information" and "the latter
sounds awkward".
