[edit] Question about phrasing.

Under "What is an administrator? What is a sysop?" it list as things they can do as "blocking and unblocking IP addresses." this may be confusing to new users. Should this be edited to make it clear that they can block registered users? (I don't want to mess with an FAQ without prior approval) JoshuaZ 05:41, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Mess with it all you want :) And yes, that might be a useful addition.

[edit] Where do I go?

I can not seem to find where to go to get a page semi protected, who do I contact?--Migospia 02:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

A Criticism section from Iyer gets deleted by unregistered visitors. Can that be stopped. Also is this the right way I am asking for help?? I would like to be on the right way. Since I am new to all these tools available at Wikipedia Please suggest me the right steps. BalanceRestored 07:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Go to WP:RFPP. Real96 07:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction

This page says: "You can report problems with admins misusing their privileges at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard." The top of WP:AN says however: "For evasion of blocks, abuse of admin tools, or other incidents, see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (WP:ANI)"

Which is true? --Yooden
