Helga is back on the Wikipedia (see the user talk for H. Jonat). As far as I can tell, she was banned on September 9, for three months. Have I missed an announcement, or is this return without Jimbo's knowledge/assent?
If she's here that's a fact. The arbitrary 3-month period should not be treated so significantly. What's really important is her behaviour from now forward. Dwelling on her past sins doesn't help anybody.
There is the issue of the integrity of banning procedures. She can only have been unbanned by an administrator, and there was discussion earlier on the list that her time was about up. I suspect that somebody simply messed up the timing. If this is correct, and there was no subversion of the process, then you're right, we should concentrate on her behaviour now. But if she did an end run on the system (and Jimbo's wishes) somehow, then that shouldn't be rewarded.
