I've been closely following the thread about WP:Office actions and appreciated what clarification has been provided as to the different types of Office actions that can be taken. If I am reading things correctly, I gather there is a distinction between (1) a page that is fully Office Protected (meaning that it basically shouldn't be edited at all without express Office permission; this is a rare status, there are only 7 such pages as of now in the whole project); and (2) and a page that has been Office Blanked/Stubbed (meaning the article needs to be redone but feel free to edit as long as it's in accordance with policy including WP:Living). In due course, the WP:Office page might be clarified in this regard as there does seem to be widespread uncertainty.
Another WP:Office related question on which clarification might be in order is under what circumstances an administrator or editor should call situations to the Office's attention. A few weeks ago, I came across a serious legal threats situation involving threats to sue the Foundation unless changes were made in an article immediately. I suggested on one of the noticeboards that this seemed like the sort of thing that the Office would want to know about right away. I was e-mailed by two people who indicated that the Office actually prefers that administrators deal with these situations on their own without getting the Foundation involved. Some clarification on when the Office should be notified of the various types of threats and other situations that arise could be helpful so that admins and editors are able to do the best possible job of protecting the Foundation and the contributors. This is a concrete issue that comes up every week, any insight would be helpful.
