#'''Oppose''' - I think keeping them on the articles they are on is fine. I don't see any harm being done by leaving them where they are. Maybe in the future, we can come up with a new system to replace them in that case it can be removed.

#'''Strong Oppose''' - Pending Changes protection is exactly what Wikipedia needs. The less vandalism that can be visible to the public; the better!

#'''Oppose''' - On the articles I watch that have it, it seems to be working just fine. On vandal patrol earlier today it prevented the entire contents of [[Harvard University]] from being replaced with this crap.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harvard_University&diff=next&oldid=421590817] One more hurdle for vandals to overcome, and good edits can easily be approved and then implemented.

#:I should note that [[Harvard University]] is exactly the type of page that I believe it works best on, per my earlier comments down below. While the page was probably being watched in any case, PC is extremely useful for pages like this that get maybe a few edits daily.

:::::Neat argument - that means that nothing which ever attracts opposition should ever be tried because the people opposing the change will use up enough time that they can say ''the proposal itself has harmed Wikipedia.'' I had not thought of anyone proposing that logical argument! [[User:Collect|Collect]] ([[User talk:Collect|talk]]) 15:13, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

::::::Two words: side effects. Drug trials sometimes show efficacy with the targeted condition but produce unintended new symptoms that are deemed worrisome enough to delay or even prevent the drug's approval.

:::::::Ok... so are we talking about the pharmaceutical industry or Wikipedia? You didn't specify any new symptoms or "side effects" that PC has caused. <small style="color:#999;white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:lightgrey 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">&mdash; [[User:Coffee|<big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee</big>]] // [[user talk:Coffee|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#009900;">have a cup</fontspan>]] // [[WP:WWH|<font color="#4682b4">essay</font>]] // </small> 23:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
