User blog:TheSpeculator/A Simple Freedom, aka Editing

Let me start out by saying: I am a superfan of Teen Wolf. I am also a fan of wikia, not specifically the Teen Wolf wiki, although I do like it, but just the whole idea of wikis, ya know?

Anyway, I've noticed that editing on this wikia isn't allowed on certain pages. On other wikis, this is usually a freedom all users, whether they are logged in or just a contributor, receive.

I thought to myself: Hmmmm... Maybe they are having vandalism problems, or people are putting up pernicious and/or harmful/incorrect material.

Then I stumbled upon a disagreement between a group of fans and a member, as well as admin, of this wiki known as Paul.rea. Now Paul.rea believes that Lydia is a supporting character. The opposing group believes that Lydia is a main character.

That was when I noticed that Lydia's wikia page was locked and that any normal member was restricted from editing her page. So I pondered this for a moment and thought:

Did Paul.rea lock the page to keep us from editing it so that we wouldn't be able to change it to main character status? Is he abusing his power to promote his own personal belief that she is a supporting character?

I don't really care, I just wanna know why we are not allowed to edit it...

Or Matt's page... Or the Kanima as well as Kanima Master page... I thought that editing was supposed to be a simple freedom, not a controlled privelege...
