Line 105: Most Wikipedia articles that are in a state of "healthy" editing, perhaps even a [[WP:BRD\|Bold, revert, discuss]] cycle, will have editors making steadily successive "tweaks" to the article, circling in towards consensus. So if you prevent editing of the page, you may be blocking an essential part of the consensus process. However, if editors have fallen into a rut where all they are doing is reverting each other without actually ''trying to improve'' each other's text, then page protection or editing restrictions may be in order. There is a subtle, but very important distinction. When in doubt, the best advice is, ''do not restrict''.
