I'm sure Ed will not do this again, and that he just made a mistake. It's not his style.
Jimbo, Ed did not make a mistake. The good work Ed did has been seriously misrepresented on this list. I think commendation is in order for the way that he handled the edit wars that have kept erupting over the Wagner page.
Ed has done his best to only freeze the article on a relatively NPOV, non-biased version; neither my desired changes nor the oppositions changes were allowed to partisanly carry the day.
I request Ed Poor's sysop status not be frozen.
