[edit] Page protection

Due to a rather high incidents of anonymous IPs vandalising the article, plus the stated intent by one user to add a nonsense holiday to the mix, I feel justified in locking down this page for the time being. If another admin disagrees with this action, feel free to undo the protection. 23skidoo (talk) 18:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
