"This has been a matter of an embarrassing dispute between Jimmy Wales and I."

Sorry, could I impose on an admin change this to: "This has been a matter of an embarrassing dispute between Jimmy Wales and me."

Now that's really embarrassing... :-)

Jacoplane's changed it. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Larry Lessig's on your Board of Advisors? He's not mentioned in the list for Digital Universe's various boards. --Michael Snow 03:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He accepted just a few weeks ago. We'll have to update the page (in fact, we're going to give the website a thorough overhaul soon). --Larry Sanger 07:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

Again, I would like to request that the version by Jacoplane, which fixed the above grammatical problem, be protected by an administrator. TIA. I have no interest in editing this further myself and I want to make sure that my exact words are preserved. --Larry Sanger 07:46, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably linking to a specific version in the history works more or less as well as a technical measure to achieve this? — Matt Crypto 11:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, that's why I did that. An easy way to avoid confrontation. --Larry Sanger 00:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All I can say is that a whole bunch of people are watching this page, and will revert changes. My impression is that permanent protection, although I consider it a common-sense measure, does not have administrative consensus at the moment. -- SCZenz 20:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

links to wikipedia-L

Most of the links to Wikipedia-L discussions are now dead. Anyone know how to rediscover them? Manning 01:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can try and find them in the archives. Perhaps they've been renamed? — Matt Crypto 03:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
