Anyway, the more I consider the facts, the less convinced I am. The problem is in the interpretation of "anyone can edit". Does it mean "anyone who wants to edit, can", or does it mean "anyone at all can edit". Normally this wouldn't matter, but it's critical if we're attempting to measure "anyone-can-edit-ness" (ACEN).
Anyone can drive on the public roads. Of course you need a licence and need to know the rules of the road. It's just common sense, we don't need to fine-tune it.
The problem is that semi-protection lasts longer
than full protection, as a rule, so that in general this comparison is far from true.
What, they can't wait 4 days to edit an article that's a huge source of vandalism - yet they can still edit the other 99.999% of articles? Boohoo.
