tyop
{{edit protected}}
Per the source, it appears that the word "feet" in the fourth paragraph (before 2.5 inches) was a tyop put into the article by accident (by me). Would appreciate it if someone w/article access were to delete it. Many thanks. Epeefleche.
- I believe this would qualify as a uncontroversial improvement. However, the request was not specific. One possibility would be to replace "
{{ft in to m|2.5}}{{in to cm|2.5}}- Thanks. I'm not sure how to get there, but to be clearer what I would suggest is that the reader see "that are about 2.5 inches (0.8 m) long" rather than "that are about feet 2.5 inches (0.8 m) long". That is what I intended when I wrote it. All I am looking to do is delete the stray word "feet", which does not belong there, and is there due to my inadvertence.

Done, of course 2.5 inches is not 0.8m! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops .. tyop on top of tyop ... thanks for that! You're perfectly correct; tx for the fix.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

unprotect and/or flag as POV
{{editprotected}}
1. There has been extensive comment at talk:Assassination#RFC:_Should_there_be_a_separate_article_called_Targeted_killing and there is a clear majority supporting this article. I believe this will end the edit war and request that the page be unprotected.
{{editprotected}}
2. I would also like to add {{Unbalanced}} to the top of the article ASAP. If the article is unprotected I can do it myself, but I think it should be done soon so I'm requesting an admin add the template regardless of whether the protecting admin is available to unprotect as requested above.

- Decline. RFC has been open for only about 3 days. Would be more appropriate to unprotected, IFF there is consensus at the RFC, after at least over one full week. -- Cirt (talk) 22:44, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Really? I thought the purpose of protection in this case was to stop an edit war. That has been done; I am sure the warring parties will abide by the RFC consensus. If you're saying all work on the page must stop until the close of the RFC, I disagree. I for one am willing to take the chance that my work will be lost if the consensus turns to redirect.
- I suppose I can accept the language of the existing pp-dispute template as a covering my issue too. I was a little surprised you completely ignored that request. Thundermaker (talk) 00:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- I think you should re-protet the page or I will revet to the status quo as it has been for several years until the RFC decides the issue. If I do that there is no evidence that my revet will not be reverted. Indeed I am tempted to do it anyway as then it might be he "tright version was protected". -- PBS (talk) 00:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- OK then, my edit-war-is-over argument just went out the window. I withdraw the unprotect request. Thundermaker (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
