Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Re: Wikipedia page protection report
[...]
This is only true if there is no social norm forbidding a sysop to edit
a protected page. At least, on the english and french wikipedia, I do
think the rule of no-edit on a protected page exist.
As an example of a minor edit that was allowed, during the recent
brouhaha over Pat Robertson's suggestion that Hugo Chávez be
assassinated, the English "Pat Robertson" article was protected, but a
sysop there implemented my request that a link to the corresponding
Esperanto article be added to the set of interwikis.
