[[Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges]]</SPAN>, because I think my
temporary block of Wik yesterday falls into the "borderline"
category. <SPAN class=264395514-13022004>Caroline (</SPAN>SecretLondon<SPAN

was right to do so. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Wik and another user were then both
blocked by <SPAN class=264395514-13022004>Tim Starling </SPAN>-- who enjoys
a deservedly higher level of respect and trust than I do, by the way -- for what
I suppose is a 24- or 48-hour period. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I must say that I do not claim that
the subsequent ban "vindicates" my unilateral action. What I did was wrong.

<DIV>Tim Starling has now banned both Wik and Anthony DiPierro for getting
into a revert war on the Votes for Deletion page, which cause the page to be
protected and unusable.</DIV>
