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 Just checked WikiNews they use RSS on their main page to produce RSS might be an idea 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 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 English monarchy goes to List of English mon
