Ok, I'm really confused. There has indeed been some heated editing on Wikinews which caused the departure of one admin (who I hope will come back someday) and the temporary banning of another for violating the 3RR -- not an unusual thing.
Why is 3RR regarded as bannable policy on Wikinews? It seems unlikely to be needed at this early stage, and certainly if it was adopted incautiously from English Wikipedia, this is a decision which should be reconsidered.
Blocking an admin at such an early stage, and for such a trivial matter, strikes me as something which should be generally avoided.
Kyle had previously written:
Erik/Eloquence/Xirzon are the one's I've been told
It is confusing and unfortunate that Erik uses different names in different places, but it has been so for a long time, and is not malicious at all.
Erik - in real life Eloquence - on the wikis Xirzon - on irc
I don't think this is a big problem, although as I say, it is confusing and unfortunate.
