Admins have rather a lot of other things to do. Admin only editing of articles does not strike me as a good idea. In theory at least when it comes to editing we are all equal.
I'm not sure I agree here. There is a bar to entry for admins, and it is reasonable to require, at least in the short term, that we allow editing only by trusted individuals. Protection is a blunt instrument and certainly excludes many highly trustworthy individuals, but it does exclude most of those likely to perpetuate the problem. Hopefully if the clarification Jimbo gave is taken to heart, the protection period can be reduced as we fix the articles.

The divide between editors and admins should be as small small as posible. At the moment most of the admin powers are ah procedural. They are not really ment to be related to content. I would not like to see that change. There are too many traps on that path.
