Semi-protection is only effective against unregistered IP vandals — registered users accrue "autoconfirmed" status so quickly and easily that they can just jump right over a semi with about as much difficulty as a military tank running over a thumbtack. And even "indefinite" protection isn't permanent protection — it can come off as soon as any administrator at all decides that the problem is over. I've taken it back down to pending changes now, because the editor in question has been userblocked for another reason — but semi wouldn't have stopped them originally.

(edit conflict)@Bearcat: Hi, thanks for the response. I'm aware of the low difficulty of obtaining autoconfirmed; however, it takes only one (or two) click(s) to revert an edit, which is much shorter than it takes to obtain autoconfirmed. I still believe the protection was unfair and against policy; however, I appreciate your unprotection. Not being a sysop, it's hard to give suggestions like this, but in the future, please be more careful with admin actions; WP:BOLD doesn't apply to them. Cheers, --L235 (talk) As a courtesy, please ping me when replying. 02:18, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification

re: Mass messaging

Thanks, through I don't think it allows personalizing messages? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:35, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

@Piotrus: No, it doesn't. Do you need personalized messages? Goodness, that'd be a pain to send. All the best, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 18:48, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Design-Expert

Hello! I noticed that you placed an advert tag on the Design-Expert article I authored. I will be happy to make whatever changes are needed, but would it be possible for you to give me 1-2 examples of text that could/should be changed? Any advice or suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Braedon Farr (talk) 18:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

@Braedon Farr: Hi, thanks for the note. The entire article seems like a bit of an advertisement to me; change the note so that instead of touting its achievements, you use secondary (and reliable, independent, and neutral) sources and be as neutral as possible. (As an example, the section "Typical applications" should probably just be deleted and replaced by something else.) Best of luck, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 18:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Merged sections. --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 20:00, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I'm sorry to bother you but I encountered a problem that I'm hoping you can help me with. An orphan tag was also placed on the Design-Expert page. I found a reference to Design-Expert in the article "Multifactor design of experiments software" and added a backlink to the Design-Expert page. However, the backlink I added (see under the "Use of Software" sub-head) doesn't seem to recognize the Design-Expert page. When I click on the backlink, I'm told that the Design-Expert page doesn't exist. I wonder if the problem lies in the fact that the single dash in the title of the Design-Expert page appears to be longer than the single dash in the Design-Expert reference I backlinked and thus the latter doesn't recognize the former. Or perhaps there is something else that I'm missing...?

Any insight you can offer will be appreciated!Braedon Farr (talk) 19:54, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

@Braedon Farr: Fixed. The article title used an ndash, while the link used a hyphen. Cheers, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 20:00, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you VERY much for your help with both issues!Braedon Farr (talk) 20:05, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
