::I realize that you and the others don't do it to spite YAV, but that's what it does. Unless you wish to retroactively protect others' archives, I don't see why admin's archives and the like should remain protected. Prot isn't a tool that should be used willy-nilly either. --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadow</span>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4;">crest</span>]]</span> 23:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC) | ::I realize that you and the others don't do it to spite YAV, but that's what it does.

The standard for protection that was here when I showed up was that anything in the user namespace short of the main user talk page could be protected simply through the request of the user. In this case, it seems pointless for me to put on my own talk page, "hey can you (I) protect my (your) archives?"

I agree with Shadowcrest here. I've never seen any IPs make any edits to archives of any admins, although it might have happened while I wasn't here. Also, why does the Archive Template "plead" users/IPs not to edit the talk page if they can't anyway? <span style="border:2px outset red;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:Blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 00:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC) | I agree with Shadowcrest here.

::I personally do not protect any archive pages because I've never had any problems with them, even with my own talk page archives. I do agree that there's no need to protect them because there's a 90% nobody will edit them anyway.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]]<sup>[[User talk:Richard1990|talk]]</sup> 18:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC) | ::I personally do not protect any archive pages because I've never had any problems with them, even with my own talk page archives.
