":The only time a person is utterly unable to edit (without resorting to extraordinary measures) is if they're blocked and banned with a protected user page. But, even then they can e-mail anyone who has filled in their e-mail address. So, there's no such thing as being excommunicated from Wikipedia.  

 A form of being ""excommunicated"" from Wikipedia is if you are indefinitely blocked.   

 : It's not misinformation. It's true that anyone can edit any page here. Just that on certain pages, one must earn the trust of his/her colleagues before editing.   

 ::In the case of articles that have been fully protected to stop edit wars, administrators shouldn't actually be editing those either, unless it's something uncontroversial (e.g. spelling), or an edit that reflects a new consensus among all editors (admin and non-admin). 
 ::Articles that are semi-protected can't be edited by those without accounts or those with very new accounts, but as long as you're capable of filling in a username and password and don't have 3 days or less to live, then ""anyone can edit"" is still true.   

 == RSS feed symbols == 

 Given the high frequency of RSS feeds on the net, perhaps the Main Page should be better at noting that they exist for several of the items.  By placing  within the FA and FP (DYK, OTD and ITN are currently feedless) boxes, the feeds would become better known.  Of course, on clicking the feed icon (), the page opened would have to be the feed itself (or at least Wikipedia:Syndication).  I don't know about the technical aspect of actually linking to the feeds (as far as I know, clicking on an image must open the image's page), so maybe it is an idea for the future.

 == Madrid bomb update == 

 Unfortunately, we now have the first confirmed fatality of the explosion. One of the missing men was finally found dead inside his vehicle: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/Carlos/Palate/murio/asfixiado/aplastado/minutos/despues/atentado/Barajas/elpepuesp/20070104elpepunac_1/Tes  
 The other one is still missing. Could anyone please update the info in the main page, so that it now reads something like '...leaving 1 killed, 26 injured and 1 missing', or something like that? Thanks   

 == Incorrect term used AGAIN == 

 Forgive the capitalisation, but it now seems as if Wikipedia's being lax. Almost every single time there's an article making mention of something to do with England, it's referred to as Great Britain, or the United Kingdom. Even if one considered this dubiously fine, it's usually being done before 1707, and the union between England and Scotland. 

 Today's article on the main page referring to the burning of the palace of Whitehall says ""English Monarchy,"" and links to the British Monarchy page! The British Monarchy won't even exist for another   nine years from that date of destruction! 

 I feel like I'm posting the same thing every single time. If it's before 1603, the it's England and Scotland seperately (Obviously not the War of the Three Kingdoms period under Cromwell's forced unification).If it's after 1603 but before 1707 then It's England and Scotland under one crown. If it's after 1707 then England and Scotland together are the Kingdom of Great Britain.  

 With all due respect, it's beginning to seem like some individuals know fully well what they should be writing, but don't. 

 Cheers.
