[WikiEN-l] Time-out for Wik

[Poor, Edmund W]

I have listed myself at
[[Wikipedia:Possible_misuses_of_admin_privileges]], because I think my
temporary block of Wik yesterday falls into the "borderline" category.
Caroline (SecretLondon) reversed the block 12 minutes later, and she was
right to do so. 
 
Wik and another user were then both blocked by Tim Starling -- who
enjoys a deservedly higher level of respect and trust than I do, by the
way -- for what I suppose is a 24- or 48-hour period. 
 
I must say that I do not claim that the subsequent ban "vindicates" my
unilateral action. What I did was wrong. 
 
I hereby sentence myself to watching "Anger Management" as penance :-)

	Tim Starling has now banned both Wik and Anthony DiPierro for
getting into a revert war on the Votes for Deletion page, which cause
the page to be protected and unusable.

what else can we
