Jeffrey O Gufstason's unilateral action to
delete nearly all of
WP:BJAODN was an extreme act of admin abuse. I find it bizarre that he
is not being sanctioned.
For inforceing our copyright policies? Arbcom isn't stupid enough to
take actions against admins doing that.
He didn't enforce our copyright policies. He made a massive,
unilateral deletion of content and CLAIMED he was enforcing our
copyright policies.
If you shoot someone and then claim self-defense it doesn't make your
claim necessarily true.
The claim of copyright enforcement here as a justification for the
mass deletion of BJAODN content is laughable.
Moreover, it's a terrible precedent to set.
Even with the reasonable though highly disruptive project of clearing
out badly sourced images there was a real effort to put lots of
safeguards on the deletion project.
This was done unilaterally and he is wheel warring against restoration.
