Wow, that logs page is something else. Pretty ironic that Bishonen would accuse the Office account of "wheel warring", when the wheel warring policy explicitly states that reversing an Office Action is indicative of wheel warring. So I'm *sure* we'll see suitable discussions of sanctions for the knowing, planned, intentional reversal of an office action against policy, right?
Possible indications of an incipient wheel war: - An administrator getting too distressed to discuss calmly. - Deliberately ignoring an existing discussion in favor of a unilateral preferred action. - Abruptly undoing administrator actions without consultation. - *Reversal of a Wikimedia Foundation office action <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Office_actions>.* Dan Rosenthal On Fri, Jun 14, 2019 at 5:06 PM effe iets anders <[email protected]> wrote: > Great, now we have a wheelwar going on ( > https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=Fram ). > I > have a hard time seeing how this would help anyone. > > A massive discussion where everyone tries to say something and nobody > really reads everything (because how could you) is not going to lead to any > constructive outcome.
