  • Blablubbs, Yes, as you say I resumed editing as an IP (only from time to time), and have made no secret of my identity when asked (even having a discussion with El C on more than one occasion while acting as an IP, and fully disclosing my identity). Unfortunately some of the admin cadre are a little less knowledgeable about policy, and I see that at the exact same time you closed this saying there was no infringement, another block was placed on the IP range, with the rather dubious claim of "disruptive editing". Perhaps the admin in question could justify that claim by way of diffs? If not, perhaps they should lift the improperly applied block, as there was no justification for the block (unless there is another user also on the same range, which is entirely possible).

  • The arrangement I made with SchroCat was that I would enact a courtesy vanish in order for them to retire from the project gracefully. At the point this happened, it seemed a likely alternative would an Arbcom block, possibly indefinite.
