Dear all.

We had some differences today in interpretion of the actual [[m:Checkuser policy]]. It says here (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Checkuser_policy#Removal_of_access) that <citation>"any user account with checkuser status that is inactive for more than a year will see their checkuser access be removed."</citation> I tend to read this as "the user account has to be totally inactive", thus no edits for >1 year. If this is the correct interpretation, it should be made clearer, since other users don't interpret it this way. If the suggested reading is rather "no checkuser activity for more than a year" the policy must be rewritten on this. Anyway, there should be a clarification.

Opinions on this are much appreciated, especially from Anthere who wrote that part of the policy as it seems.

Best regards, Thomas.

p.s. Since I'm not yet subscribed to checkuser-l, I can't read answers there, so please write via foundation-l. Thank you.
