SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

Protecting a proposal
A proposal is not a policy page, nor an article. And indeed, it is considered disruptive to edit a proposal during an active straw poll (XFD is one example, see also some discussions concerning the recent Arbcom election as well.)
So protection in this case was merely "preventative, not punitive".
You're welcome to your opinion, but that in itself is all it is.
Incidentally, no worries, I'll just see about placing any future proposals in user space so that such nonsense will be avoided in the future. Shrugs.
Happy editing. - jc37 21:04, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
