 * 1) Negitive achevements would be extremely counter-productive. They don't give anything extra to sysops (warnings can be done on talk pages, and it should be made clear to the user that blocks will occur if they aren't disruptive) - but achievements for doing bad actions will serve as trophies for vandals and other trolls (even if that wasn't the intention of negative achievements), and will more than likely encourage them to disrupt the wiki again, as they are renowned for doing so (this is a general tip for all vandalism, keep the cleanup quiet, make sure that you don't get really annoyed, and vandals will find that there isn't much "fun" in it).
 * 2) This is simple to do:
 * Choose the section of the article you want to protect, and make it a template (for example, in the example article, create a new article called Example/Protected bit, and place in the article, where that section would be)
 * Protect the template (if there are section headers in the protected template, the section headers will automatically link to the template, not the article)
 * An alternate way would be to protect the article, but allow some sections to be editable templates - this allows users to only edit the sections that you want. As a general rule, try to keep as little protected as possible, as articles that can't be edited by everyone generally are lower quality if they're not being targeted for vandalism - due to editors not adding information that they would normally.
