I like the sunflower logo, and as tarquin said, it'd be nice to change
it sometimes including the earth and the eclipse, maybe a calendar on
new year's or stuff like that.
Erik makes some good points, and I stand by him
Look at the URL, is there a "redirect=no" at the end of it?
Then you are looking at a page where redirection is disabled.
You need this view to be able to edit the redirect once it is
in place.

so what do I do to fix it?

Rollbacks are easily abused, especially by those banned users: L-, M-, and
their split personalities.

That's not going to happen. Rollback is a very useful tool and before it cam
along fighting vandals was a difficult task. If you want to help fight
vandals the easy way then become an Admin. Oh, and before Rollback there were
far many more IPs that were blocked and the rollback is the only effective
means to fight logged-in vandals.

I've tried rollback process several times on my own test pages, but it is
always around 15 seconds, not 5 seconds like mav. I think I'm doing
something wrong.
* Registered: Recent Changes -> User home page -> Contribution list ->
[rollback]
* Anon: Recent Changes -> IP address (directly take you to contrib list) ->
[rollback]
This takes just the same amount of time and steps as before:
* Revision history -> Old date -> Edit this page -> Save
I think I missed something, big.

this text gives me:
1. REDIRECT turn-based gaming
<http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn-based_gaming>

If you are doing all that and feeling that way then you need to either become
an Admin or stop complaining. I'm sick of hearing complaints that you can't
do certain things and then you refuse to become an Admin so that you can do
those things. This makes zero sense!
If /anyone/ is dong so much Wikipedia work that they feel a need to have Admin
powers then just ask. Bing! You are an Admin. Wow - was that so hard? You can
now do all the things which cannot be trusted to random people (or to the
Lirs and Micheals of the world).

Replace "dong" with "doing" and replace "If you are doing all that and feeling
that way then you need to either become an Admin or stop complaining." with
"If you are doing all that and feeling that way then you need to become an
Admin, no?"
My typo generation rate increases and the shortness of my temper decreases
with every hour over 20 without sleep. On hour 24 now - time for several
