Article protection
editWith this being on the front page, I would protect this article ASAP, otherwise this article is going to be exploding with vandalism. In fact, I'm surprised that wasn't done in foresight. JanderVK (talk) 21:43, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- Preemptive protection or semi-protection is almost never done. Articles are only protected if there has been considerable, targeted vandalism.-RHM22 (talk) 23:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
- I find that highly ridiculous, considering the high rate of vandalism on such pages, but I guess that's something to bring up elsewhere. How many revisions due to vandalism were done today? JanderVK (talk) 01:54, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Well, the page has now been semi-protected. We don't protect pages preemptively (generally) because it goes against the policy of 'anyone can edit.' We only do it in response to vandalism.-RHM22 (talk) 05:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

John Wayne Bobbitt
editSurely the famous case of John and Lorena Bobbitt should be included in this article as well; it was much longer ago than these two cases, though not nearly so successful. Shocking Blue (talk) 10:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
First successful
editBoth the Chinese and South Africans are claiming the first successful transplant. We should probably explain the conflict. Right now the article says both were first, which is a contradiction. The Chinese claim is for "a surgical success". Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:47, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
