message: I think it might be fun to add a section to Atheism listing all the people who have been persecuted by atheists. I think it would be pretty long. DJ Clayworth 15:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Stalin would be the outstanding example. Up to 100 million Russians died either directly or indirectly due to his actions or policies. Many of these were Christians. rossnixon 10:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the big difference here is that Stalin didn't target people on the basis of their religion or lack thereof. He targeted people on the basis of their politics. Corax 06:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

text: On the contrary, Stalin did target people for various reasons and you cannot always so easily separate the various reasons - politics, econimics, ideology, religion, mere rivalry. Stalin did institute a anti-Jewish campaign late in his life. But if you don't "like" Stalin than take Lenin, who originated a vicious persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church. Compared with him, the later Stalin relented a bit (though of course Stalin had been Lenin's hench man). Str1977 11:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Should I semi-protect the page? I'm going to bed in the next few minutes, and I don't want to lock out good-faith contributors? AnnH (talk) 00:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Following the appearance of more sockpuppets, I have semi-protected the page, which means that IPs and newly-registered users can't edit. As I said, I don't want to lock out genuine contributors. I'll be going to bed in about twenty minutes from now. Should I unprotect then? Zach, will you still be around?

thread_title:  "It's the true religion." 

message: I just semi-protected again.  If those people who are watching this article would please keep an eye on Evangelicalism, that would be great.  Thanks.  Jkelly 03:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Semiprotected again

message: I've semiprotected again (sigh). But, unlike the other times, when I went to edit the page to add the semiprotected template, I got a message saying that it had been protected so that only admins could edit it. I checked to see if I had accidentally selected full protection, but I hadn't. Can a fully-registered non-admin (sorry to be so patronizing!) let me know if you still see "edit this page"? There might be some kind of software bug. Thanks. AnnH (talk) 15:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you are right, it is a software bug. It is in the process of being fixed. I'll see if I can find the bugzilla query. --LV (Dark Mark) 15:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, LV. Should I unprotect in the meantime? I don't want to lock out genuine contributors? And I note that he/she has moved (again) to Evangelicalism. I've done a lot of indefinite blocks recently! AnnH (talk) 15:41, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you semi-protected it perfectly, and since they are still around, I'd say it wouldn't hurt to leave it with SEMI for now. You can see some discussion of the "Protected message" here (near bottom) or here. Hope this helps. --LV (Dark Mark) 15:44, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
