If Wikimedia feels the need to
issue such an action, should it not be clearly
labeled to avoid that
very legal threat to Wikipedia that Danny was attempting to avoid in the
first place? I hope that all involved have learned from the experience,
but I don't think that Erik constitutes a continued threat. His action
was borne of misunderstanding, and actions against him to prevent
further threats are, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up,
unnecessary.
This was not a misunderstanding, this was lack of good faith. Erik
should have trusted danny that he has good reasons for an action which
might not be selfexplaining. If he wanted to know more, he could have
asked. And an admin who acts before he understands the situation can -
as this incident has shown - potentially endanger the foundation.
