And yet they're protected against editing. Really - vincent van gogh is going to be vandalized? I tried to edit this: "was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art." to simply "was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in Western art." which has the same meaning without unnecessary fluffery (like "in the history of the world" to "in history" ) - obviously western art means that. But i can't because it's protected. Grandstanding indeed.
