That was my impression, but then I encountered this edit: . It seems it may be related to the edit war currently going on at List of Wikipedia controversies, though I didn't find out about that until later. There was another one a few days ago on the Neil deGrasse Tyson page, but in that case the admin (Mastcell, iirc) who took sides in the ongoing edit war there by deleting contested material from a fully protected page at least alleged a BLP vio, though I find that contention dubious. But in this case the edit was simply to add scare quotes, which hardly seems to address a "serious BLP violation, vandalism, [or] other serious issue". What do you think?
