this about?" before taking action.
I agree, and I think this is really the point to take out of this. We
should all operate on the presumption that when Danny does something,
he's doing it for a Good Reason, and that one shouldn't undo it unless
one has checked the reason behind it with Danny first (that's if it
should even be undone at all). A little communication solves alot of
problems.
But Danny has explicitly said (on this list) that he is also a normal
editor, and only his actions that are accompanied with a statement that
they are WP:OFFICE actions should be treated as such. So if he does
something and does not tag it WP:OFFICE, we should all operate on the
presumption that he is doing it in his capacity as a normal Wikipedian.
