| == Remove/lower protection of ] == | |||
| 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. ] (]) 20:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :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: . The article has continued to grow since protection (), 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: , 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 ]). However, let us try semi-protection without ECP to see how it goes. ECP has now been removed. ] (]) 09:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ==Bed-in== | |||
| Hello. Wondering why you moved ] to ]. 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. ] (]) 22:32, 4 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :I came upon the article and noted that the name apparently didn't meet ], 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 ], ], etc. It is singular as that is what we prefer per ]. I followed common usage in reliable sources such as , , , , , 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 ] over ], 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 (), which would mainly be coming from those typing in "bed-in". As per ], I didn't think that moving the name would be controversial given the reasons given above, so made the move. ] (]) 13:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::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 ], 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"?). ] (]) 14:20, 5 August 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::Yoko calls it a "bed-in": . 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. Yes: . ] (]) 19:08, 5 August 2024 (UTC) | |||

| ::::::Yes, I had noticed that; and some other sources also use that capitalisation. However, the bulk of the sources use "bed-in"; so, as we prefer ] over ], we tend to go with the most common usage. ] (]) 04:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC) | |||

I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. Barack Obama
Our text should arise as a summary of the reliable sources, rather than editors first deciding what they want to say and then looking for sources. Agricolae
I am open to recall, using Whpq's wording from their RfA:
"if editors I trust and respect are telling me I should not be an admin, then I would voluntarily resign as an administrator."
