Article protection
[edit]With 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
[edit]Surely 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
[edit]Both 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)
