Page protection

Due to a rather high incidents of anonymous IPs vandalising the article, plus the stated intent by one user to add a nonsense holiday to the mix, I feel justified in locking down this page for the time being. If another admin disagrees with this action, feel free to undo the protection. 23skidoo (talk) 18:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide

I see that the information about the Armenian Genocide was wiped out of this page recently. Consequently, I made the necessary adjustments, but I hope that this does not happen again. --Davo88 (talk) 18:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
