Just a couple of points. I don't think anyone has actually stated as a fact that Charlotte knew that she was violating policy before running for adminship; it has just been suggested as likely. However, James Farrar is demanding evidence that she knew it.
Charlotte was Support Number 56 at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Armedblowfish,
a page which at the time of her vote was devoted to discussion of the whole issue of policy and open proxies. This was at 02:28 on 5 June 2007. She accepted her own admin nomination at 18:52 on 14 June 2007. Is it likely that she supported Armedblowfish without even looking at the previous comments?
Thank you.
Why couldn't Jayjg have said that at the beginning and saved us all a load of hassle?
However, as CW had never been banned, and plenty of admins with check user tools knew she had an open proxie, she might not have expected it would be a cause to sink her RfA, or that it was banned for her to do so. After all, she is a registered user who uses open proxies and has not been banned or told not to use them.
Adminship is political at Wikipedia--it's voted on, for all it not being called a vote, requires a candidacy and platform and public questioning.
It seems unlikely had she actually looked at this she would have been so stunned at being asked it in her own RfA.
