You can hear Joseph's interview on Friday's PM news programme at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0418x6d, skip to 33 minutes in to the programme. It is 4 minutes long.
This was after a request from the BBC for someone to talk to about long running disputes on the English Wikipedia.

We do - but sometimes it takes time for an admin to get to the page to approve. On 27 Apr 2014 10:43, "HJ Mitchell" hjmitchell@ymail.com wrote:

It was let through. Fae wouldn't have seen it himself because gmail is "helpful" like that.

The time and date "Sat Apr 26 11:17:59 UTC 2014" was when I sent the email, not when it was posted to the list. Could you publish the time it was published to the list?
Thanks, Fae

The mod queue emails the mods every morning at 8am UTC; it's attended to some time after that.

David, perhaps (unless the list gets large volumes of spam? In which case it would be impractical) you could set it to email the list admins when an email is received, rather than just once a day when there are pending emails.
Or you and Fae could come to an agreement whereby Fae's could be taken of moderation?
I'll just note that I had not received Fae's email via wikimediauk-l when I checked my emails this morning, which is why I forwarded it for him, and this is precisely the sort of nonsense that puts people off contributing - we can't even just congratulate Joe on being interviewed by Radio 4 without a row about list moderation.

I think I might have been the person that switched this list from per-email to digest moderator emails - the list was certainly getting quite a bit of spam back when I was a list admin, and I doubt the situation has improved since then.
I would support Fæ being taken off moderation here, but it was because of Fæ that I had to stop being a list admin. :-/ So I would ask whether his current emails support people contributing, or if they put others off contributing... (I should probably ask the same about my own emails at the moment, sadly.)
Thanks, Mike

That's really what swings me to "no". If he can show consistent non-dramatic behaviour on a once-a-day basis, we'll see.

Amounting to saying David should be available Saturday afternoons also? Big ask.

Generally speaking, the business about stopping digging when in hole should be noted by those in disputes, or heading for them.

Said congratulations not having a short "best before" date on them, the
point is fairly moot, isn't it?
