For the record, the Einstein article was only protected recently because a stubborn editor was insisting on changing the formatting to meet his own personal requirements and was revert warring. However after a week of this he finally agreed to stop after he was instructed as to how to modify his own monobook.css to make it display for him how he wanted to. It is currently unprotected.
Why was an article protected to stop a *single editor* from modifying it? Wouldn't banning him from the article (and blocking him from Wikipedia if he failed to respect the ban) have been more effective?
