RfA
One bureaucrat thinks it should be closed, and closes it. Another thinks it isn't, and re-opens it. Seems fair to me. Lord of all tyria 11:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it raised eyeborws, anyway. --mendel 11:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair, yes, but logical? No way.  Auron claimed that it was "not failed" when it had a 0-11-1 record.  True, RfAs are not votes, but the community consensus was obvious.  Making a promotion over that much opposition would not be a smart move.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 13:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Legendary Sword
While a one year ban may have been on the harsh side, I feel that it's fully justified given that the anon is repeatedly inserting false information into the wiki on Legendary Swords, most likely in an attempt to use the wiki to scam. It's not just about inserting pricing information (which, currently, is incorrect) but the assertation they no longer drop. I don't see why the editors should be warned when they are, in this case, reverting vandalism. Jennalee 11:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That was only a one day ban, and I think there is no question that GW:1RV would fully justify that. "Vandalism" means the editor has the will to deface the wiki, and for it to break 1RV I believe it has to be "obvious", i.e. no case for GW:AGF protection can be made. Would another course of action have been possible? Maybe adding a (see talk page) link to the article and contradicting the anon there (on the article talk page), with the final changes being made in a few days when everything's cooled down, would have been more fruitful. --mendel 11:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It seemed quite obvious to me that the editor was there to insert false information and since they persisted after reverts, most certainly had the will to. Even had you linked to the talk page, the editor would have probably have removed any sign of counter evidence. If the end result is to remove the aricle defacement and prevent an unlucky sob from being conned, then it may as well be done sooner rather than later. Jennalee 12:07, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if that is probable, why not let him/her remove the counter evidence and thus remove doubt? You then have a very clear case of ill intent. Put a ban notice up and see what admins may be lurking. --mendel 14:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
