Subject: [WikiEN-l] admins blocking but refusing to justify which policy or guideline
applies
Hi,
... which policy or guideline justifies my block,
Here are some policies, guidelines and essays that may help to explain the background to
the block:
Policy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit war
Guideline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disruptive_editing
Essay:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing
I also think there should be a facility for admins who
operate outside
of the law (if it can be called that) to be able to face consequences
for their actions by some higher governing body - does such a body
exist?
Yes - admins who misuse their powers can be challenged in various ways, which can
ultimately lead to withdrawal of their powers. An overview is given at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ADMINABUSE
Hope this has been helpful.
Regards,
Andrew
