Hi, there! Concerning your request for protection of Paul Harvey and allowing only certain people access to the page, such an action is impossible with the MediaWiki software, as protection would block out every user but administrators. Also, while I understand your concerns over the article, there are bits of policy that have become standard, and while I mean no offense, it is in fact discouraged that PR firms edit the articles of people or organizations they represent (see WP:AUTO) due to concerns that a potential conflict of interest in one's editing could result in a non-neutral point of view, which is often remedied by the edits of uninvolved, neutral editors without an opinion over a piece. I'm going to see if I can find someone else to expand on this a little bit more, but on the mean time I will add the article to my watchlist and revert any vandalism or additions of unsourced material to help out, per WP:BIO. Thanks! Cowman109 22:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
