message: I have just read the Editing Policy and I am still not clear on how long do I have to wait for the quotes to be added to the main article, or who should add them.
There is something on the Introduction we are told...
"Don't be afraid to edit articles—anyone can edit, and we encourage you to be bold (but please don't vandalize)! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, and fix it."
  
"You can't break Wikipedia. Anything can be fixed or improved later. So go ahead, edit an article and help make Wikipedia the best information source on the Internet!"
So I figured out I might as well add the quotes to the main article.
I am leaving all these here just in case I am making a mistake, and If I am making a mistake, I do sincerely apologise in advance.  Paddy :-) 03:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Can someone please clarify something for me - re. Jock's early history - I have added a link to the Blantyre Vics page on Wikipedia, but as a boy from Blantyre I was always told that Jock played for Balntyre Celtic and NOT the Vics (in fact on the page I have done for Blantyre Celtic I have stated this as fact but stand to be corrected). So either way the info here or on the Blantyre Celtic page isn't correct. Celtic fans - feel free to add a shirt image on the Blantyre Celtic page - I don't know how to!!

message: I am inclined to seek semi-protection of this article in order to cut down the addition of the speculative child abuse material. That will at least prevent anons and new accounts from adding it. Comments ? -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: So what if he lost knighthood to the "Battle of the River Plate". I'm calling him Sir Jock Stein anyhow. 204.52.215.107 02:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Knight him anyway

message: I've undone this, not because I disagree with the sentiment but because its execution was amateurish and has led to a rather broken discussion history. If removal of policy-violating commentary is to be performed it should be taken to the appropriate parties and done properly. For now, I've restored what appears to be the most coherent version of this page's discussion history and tidied it a bit for readability.

message: Can this article and talk page be unprotected now so that unregistered users can edit and make comments? We can quickly restore protection if necessary. --TS 19:58, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text:  That's going a bit far. In principle we want all WP pages to be unprotected if possible. So I'll unprotect it for the moment. But at the first sign of trouble, I will protect it again. -- Derek Ross | Talk 22:45, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Unprotecting this page is a mistake. It has been a constant source of attack from non-registered  users. It was protected for a reason namely to provide protection of the reputation of Mr Stein.There is nothing to suggest it won't be attacked again. Paul210 (talk) 22:56, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: So I see. Since there has been so much vandalism of the article page since its protection expired in July, I have reprotected this page and the article page indefinitely. -- Derek Ross | Talk 17:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
