It's over two weeks old - old articles are protected to perserve a journalistic history. Lyellin 20:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Item two on the "mission list"[edit]

Providing a historical (or in the case of wackynews, hysterical) record of the news is one of the project objectives. Yes, the title on this article isn't good, but even prior to archiving it probably shouldn't be changed after it's about a day old. This is probably one of the weirdest things to users from other wikis, but most of our content should be protected. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:21, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
