[Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

Begin forwarded message: From: George Herbert <george.herbert(a)gmail.com> Subject: [WikiEN-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block Date: June 10, 2019 at 8:54:34 PM CDT To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Reply-To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> In case you're not following on-wiki - Office S&T blocked English Wikipedia user / administrator Fram for a year and desysopped, for unspecified reasons in the Office purview. There was a brief statement here from Office regarding it which gave no details other than that normal policy and procedures for Office actions were followed, which under normal circumstances preclude public comments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27_noticeboard#User:Fra… Several people on Arbcom and board have commented they're making private inquiries under normal reporting and communication channels, due to the oddity and essentially uniqueness of the action. There was an initial surge of dismay which has mellowed IMHO into "Ok, responsible people following up". I understand the sensitivity of some of the topics under Office actions, having done OTRS and other various had-to-stay-private stuff myself at times in the past. A high profile investigation target is most unusual but not unheard of. I did send email to Fram earlier today asking if they had any public comment, no reply as yet. -- -george william herbert george.herbert(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
