I ask that these pages, constantly rolled back by Chris 73, are protected at the last stable version:
Viet Cong and related
- 172 is trying to move (by cut and paste) VC to NLF, a change which was tried some time back (by a Richardchilton sock puppet), discussed, and firmly rejected. There has been new recent discussion about the issues at Talk:Viet Cong, with ideas floated, but as yet no finished resolution. 172 should not be trying to (re-)force it his way, but the back and forth between me and him is getting us nowhere.

Schnorrer
- Schnorrer Please unprotect. This page has been protected, on and off, for far too long. Page protection is not working, and so it is causing more harm than good. anthony (see warning) 10:06, 13 May 2004 (UTC)
- Why not wait until the vote on Talk:Schnorrer is over? Angela. 21:54, May 13, 2004 (UTC)
West Papua and related articles
- Request that West Papua a.k.a. Papua (Indonesian province) be protected, refer to comments for background and critique.Daeron 04:00, 3 May 2004 (UTC) Comments completed.Daeron 16:06, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
- Request that West Papuan Genocide be reverted to West_Papuan_Genocide&oldid=3368272 and protected.
- The explanation of the article is in it's introduction; the G* word has been used in accord with the Yale University study integral to the article; the title of the country in question is the common English name (West Papua) as found on the titles and texts of most of the external reports listed. The two name changes were done without prior discussion and with dis-reguard to the continuing work on the article resulting in the current multiple versions of content. Reading Papua_(disambiguation) before Wik reverts it may also be useful reading.Daeron 18:07, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Please do not do this. There is a general consensus that the article should not be at West Papuan Genocide. john 18:18, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Wik and Mr John Kenney are the persons in dispute with myself and Tannin concerning West Papua, Mr Kenney again states his opinion as being facts, no such concensus was ever made. Tannin asked if the G* was being used with due care. On the West Papua Talk page, I appreciate that John has finally concurred that 'West Papua' is a english name for the; I am disappointed that he then indicates his intention to keep the article at 'Papua_(Indonesian_province)' instead of allowing it to be returned to its common english name where it has peacefully existed for over two years before he and Wik came to it. While people may feel John has done a great service for the Wikipedia in renaming dozens if not hundreds of articles to new 'correct' names, it would be nice if he discussed these moves first. As to Wik's original objection and reverting of 'West Papua'; this was the percise subject I raised the in Manual of Style where the majority seem to concur with my thought on the subject.Daeron 06:34, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
