Rewording of the edit notice again

Copied from Talk:The Mousetrap#Rewording of the edit notice again

Well, the edit notice is almost entirely in British English, except for the first sentence. Can it be changed to "Requests to remove or hide the identity of the murderer are likely to be denied"? Also, would it be appropriate to include the full FAQ instead of linking to it, because some people will probably not read it? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:01, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

You can edit the protection template yourself here, I don't think it's protected. We've only had one inappropriate edit request since the template went up ("can we remove the bit about the ending as it should remain a complete mystery with no clues whatsoever"), and I don't think a full FAQ would have made any difference there. --McGeddon (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

It's protected. And I'm suggesting because it's bothering me that the first sentence (in bold no less) is in American English, but everything else in British English (being Filipino, I'm more familiar with American English, but since this is from the UK, British English should be used). Besides, I was the one who suggested putting up that edit notice in the first place. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:21, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I think transcluding the FAQ into the edit notice is a good idea. The FAQ is difficult to find at the top of this page. I support showing the questions in its collapsed form at the edit notice itself; this will make it easier for the requester to spot the particular objection that he/she may have in mind.

The note page is indeed fully protected; and I think the edit request must be placed at its own talk page, not here. Diego (talk) 13:28, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Done I have amended the first sentence, and incorporated the FAQ as well, see here. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:02, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
