Trouted
You have been trouted for being silly. You protected Shiva with pending changes, but placed a semi-protected lock on the page instead, which even a dumb bot (DumbBOT), who later removed it, knew was wrong. Arctic  Kangaroo  15:11, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ooops! Thanks for fixing. Ged  UK  15:26, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Extending protection
Hi, regarding the protection on Progressive Utilization Theory, we have been trying to reach consensus, but there is still a long way to go. I respectfully request another extension of the protection - for a month or two - as a premature, automatic lifting of the protection is only likely to result in another edit war. Thank you for your kind consideration. --Abhidevananda (talk) 08:54, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a few days left to go yet, so I'd hold off for a while. I'll watch the page, but I'm minded to let the protection run ou and see what happens. It's easy enough to restore it. HAppy to discuss further, I'm not 100% in my mind yet. Ged  UK  12:50, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand... some wizardly experiment perhaps ... but when the protection does get lifted on that article, it's likely to be a turkey shoot wherein everyone tries to be the last to impose the content they want before protection is reimposed. I know that might be interesting to watch, but it would not be as interesting to take part in. Please do reconsider my request. I believe that another month or two to wrangle our way toward consensus - with a somewhat decent version of the current article still readily available to readers on Wikipedia - could be helpful. If we don't get clear after that, then the only recourse I see is a more long-term protection or semi-protection on the article or mediation. --Abhidevananda (talk) 18:55, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I've extended it another month. Ged  UK  12:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ged. I greatly appreciate it. Hopefully, within the next month we will see a bit more progress toward consensus. I believe we can merge the two sets of content and thereby create an even better article. --Abhidevananda (talk) 13:55, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

The page : Football records in Spain
may you please take a look at football records in spain ,this page is containing various different records in Spanish football, I added 3 new records into it but 83.36.24.36 keeps removing them because he believes they are not needed !!

Those 3 records well referenced from the related club website and even classified clearly under national records even not just a club records !! so anything clearer than that even ?? how should someone opinion or even bunch of people opinion about it make a difference in that ?? its a clear case...the related club classified it as record, so if someone likes it or not it shouldn't stop being a record.

and since its referenced I can't see any reason to remove it.

 * This seems to have been addressed by another admin. As a general point though, sourcing something from the club itself is not good practice; they could be wrong, lying, enhancing etc. A third party source, like the league or FA for example, would be better.
