Page protection

Shouldn't this page have been protected temporarily to avoid vandalism during Main page appearance? I've gone ahead and requested temporary page protection given recent edits. Some reverting is needed. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if TFAs are usually temporarily protected prior to their appearance on the main page. I think it's good practice to do so anyway. - ZLEA _T\^C 16:07, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What a mess! @Wehwalt: May need your assistance identifying the best version of the article to revert to, given recent changes. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:38, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The diffs were too messy to reconcile so I've reverted pre-TFA and hope that those who have contributed with actual improvements will be understanding. I've also semi-protected for 12 hours.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:19, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wehwalt, Much appreciated. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:42, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
