No problem! I know you've been welcomed before, but I thought I should give you a few links and a little advice. Oh, and feel free to ask myself or any other experienced Wikipedian about anything at all; I know from personal experience that another person helps chop at least 3/4 of the learning curve off.

Well, there are a few remedies; there are semi-protects, which disable editing from IP addresses and newly registered users, or full protects, which disable editing from everyone but an admin; if the POV pushers keep insisting, we can semi-protect it. This is the best course of action, as they can't do anything from any address, while just blocking that specific IP doesn't mean they can't log onto another computer and use that. I'll monitor it a bit and help you guys out; if it becomes serious, I'll notify an admin.

P.S. Sorry for the late reply, I was off biking for a charity event for 2 days. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{The Walrus!} 19:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm glad I can help. And it's fun biking; get to see the countryside in a whole new way. [1] Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{The Walrus!} 18:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
