[Foundation-l] Checkuser policy

[Thomas Goldammer]

Dear all.

We had some differences today in interpretion of the actual
[[m:Checkuser policy]]. It says here
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Checkuser_policy#Removal_of_access)
that <citation>"any user account with checkuser status that is
inactive for more than a year will see their checkuser access be
removed."</citation> I tend to read this as "the user account has to
be totally inactive", thus no edits for >1 year. If this is the
correct interpretation, it should be made clearer, since other users
don't interpret it this way. If the suggested reading is rather "no
checkuser activity for more than a year" the policy must be rewritten
on this. Anyway, there should be a clarification.

Opinions on this are much appreciated, especially from Anthere who
wrote that part of the policy as it seems.

Best regards,
Thomas.

p.s. Since I'm not yet subscribed to checkuser-l, I can't read answers
there, so please write via foundation-l. Thank you.
