While I like the idea of limiting access to some of our big name pages, I am very wary of making any page an "admin only" page, or blocking new or non-autoconfirmed users from making any edits at all. We want to make sure plagiarism is prevented, but we don't want to alienate new users by making them unable to edit most pages. Now, locking new users out of Spider-Man, or the MCU Avengers until they've been around for a bit? All for it. 80% of those are reverted to begin with because they're just plain bad edits. But in addition to that, I think we need to have some form of "beginners packet" so that new users have some way to learn the ropes of our site other than trial-n-error.

But I'm side-tracking for the moment. I think that in addition to looking at our problem users above, we should also run with Nick's idea of checking our big name characters. It would cover most of our common victims of plagiarism at the same time.
