The NeoDex is an online encyclopedia which anyone can edit. As such, it's possible for an editor to maliciously vandalize an article (deleting content, adding random text, placing spam, etc.). To help prevent actions from this, NeoDex administrators have the ability to block these editors from editting. If vandalism should continue however, an administrator can protect these pages or images, thereby allowing them to be modified only by other administrators.
