[Elisabeth Anderl]

Dear Delphine, dear all,
due to his reactions and disconcerting statements I very much doubt that 
he would not revert such action immediately.

I propose to
*desysop him now (he can ask the community for getting back sysop on 
ru.books)
*make a native or >ru-3 speaker temp-sysop to restore the banners 
(MaxSem maybe?)
*not granting bureaucratship on ru.books for at least a year

Kind regards,
Elisabeth Anderl (aka spacebirdy)
