I have listed myself at
[[Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges]], because I think my
temporary block of Wik yesterday falls into the "borderline"
category. Caroline (SecretLondon) reversed the block 12 minutes later, and she
was right to do so.
Wik and another user were then both
blocked by Tim Starling -- 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.
I must say that I do not claim that
the subsequent ban "vindicates" my unilateral action. What I did was wrong.
I hereby sentence myself to
watching "Anger Management" as penance :-)

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.

Caroline,
I
agree that I was wrong to apply a unilateral ban. But what else can we
do
with someone who censors articles, and refuses to explain
himself?

I
don't think that "rv for already stated reasons" is a
sufficient
explanation, so I protected the article.
