152: 730: 1054: 67: 1118: 957:. This is much quicker and easier, with less drama and less bureaucracy, and is guaranteed to work; I don't know the Edgar181 story - I had resigned from ArbCom that year, before they were blocked, but ArbCom doesn't really do blocks on request. You could appeal the block, but set a condition that no admin grants your appeal for a year. Ten years is a long time, and people change, so most admins (including me) would listen sympathetically to a well worded appeal after a year or two. 45: 411: 21: 576:, so go by most common usage. I did a Google search for "bed-ins for peace" (10,300 results), "bed-in for peace" ( 122,000 results), and "bed-in" (90,300,000 results), and found that pretty significant. I also noted that while bed-in was a well established redirect, and the incoming links (mostly from templates) used "bed-ins for peace", there were still an average of 15 daily visits to the page ( 541:, so I did some research on the use of the name, and after looking into it, I changed it to fit the criteria. Recognizability - the most common use is "bed-in". Naturalness - the most natural use is "bed-in". Precision - "bed-in" is precise and exact. Concision - there is no need for superfluous words such "for peace", as "bed-in" is all that is needed. Consistency - it matches 490:, but the quality of the edits has proportionally increased. The Extended-confirmed-protected edit requests on the talkpage are working as intended - with speedy responses. Because, before the semi-protection, there were over 200 IP edits a year, it would inappropriate to apply PC, as that is too many edits to monitor (PC is intended for 464:
I do not feel ECP on the page is necessary due to the relative infrequency of edits. I don't know how low it should be, but I propose no protection with pending changes. You can make it semi or no protection at all if you want but ECP is no longer necessary. If vandalism returns it could go higher.

Let's see. For the violinist, I achieved three supports, - now I need an admin to move her to the template In the news, but I was out all day and just returned from choir rehearsal. When I don't go out, I usually do things myself. The Goehr article, however, is more than I can handle alone in the

I'm talking about an official ban not merely a block. You anyway stated "a future inappropriate request may result in a motion not to their advantage" last year which is what effectively this is. If such a request comes from the user then I don't see why unappealable or 10 year appeal time bans

In early December this year I'm going to request the Arbitration Committee to site ban me and also block my IP addresses. I should have all the former parishes project done before that. In terms of taking up too much community time I don't think this would be a problem as it would not be too

I am largely retired on Knowledge. I've done little of significance for a while. I interfere in minor things randomly as I consult the encyclopedia - adjust some phrasing or spelling, or fix a name. That's all. I do have vague intentions of taking some article to GA or FA, such as

Thanks for the full answer. Since this was a performance artwork as well as an anti-war protest the only question seems to be 'what did John and Yoko call it'. 'Bed-in' seems to be the overall descriptor of the type of event (Sit-in, not
522:. The "ins" indicates more than one, and 'for peace' summarizes the reasoning behind the performance artwork, so the full name seemed adequate and descriptive. Shouldn't this have been an RM (unless it was and I missed it)? Thanks. 480:
I'm a little hesitant to reduce protection on a highly visible article (over 110,000 pageviews a month) which has been subjected to high levels of vandalism (1,690 reverted edits), and even with current protection gets vandalised:
568:, etc. "Bed-In For Peace" is also used, and may be regarded as the "official" title for the two main events, though even when the official name is used, journalists prefer to then use the simpler form of "bed-in". We prefer 602:, Be-in, etc.) but was it the name of the event? If not then Bed-in would be fine as a redirect but not as the article's title, which should be the name that Lennon and Oko used at the time (was it "Bed-In for Peace"?). 924:
difficult for the Arbitration Committee to simply pass a motion to site ban and block. An additional clause that could perhaps be added is that I can never appeal or that I can appeal after 10 years. I'm assuming
89: 487:), so the protection in itself has not stopped editing - despite a comment on the talkpage saying that is the case. What has happened is the number of edits has declined - the bulk of which were reverted: 619:. And I do recall at the time that Lennon called it a "bed-in" as he introduced it - something like "It's a bed-in folks". I recall seeing that on the news. Hang on - I'll see if I can find that.
