Why this happened copied from request for checkuser Um how long should I expect to wait Progress on the entire set of articles is on hold pending the outcome of this checkuser   This is ridiculous Im here trying to create a better encyclopedia and this is the support I get Hell of a turn off   While there are about  administrators on wikipedia only  of them have checkuser permission and  of the cases here are answered by just two of them so you may have to be patient  No article is so important that the sky will fall if it is stuck in the wrong version for a few more days  You can try a request for comment on the article to get some outside opinions if the usual editors cant agree   Sounds like this system is broken Only  of the  people actually do the work Time to replace some people Or put some kind of disclaimer that this isnt very timely Something to let people know not to expect results     Ill be damned if Im going to put up with that kind of abuse     How about judging it on its merits rather than your personal feelings     seconded in the strongest possible terms And CovenantD blocked for  hours for disruption    Im just coming into this but that seems more than a little harsh Cant wikipedia have operational disagreements without assuming its personal attacks resulting in blocks Or is there something outside this discussion Im not seeing    I think the cascade of abusive comments directed at the checkusers were more than enough justification for blocking for disruption common sense says you dont come ask for help and then start taking swings at the people youre asking for help By the way just for future note by anyone watching the reason that it takes a while to get a response is because we have to deal with things like this if people were you know patientpleasantappreciative then we might be a bit more inclined to run checks As it stands we gain very little but constant abuse from all sides for volunteering our time to do this     Anyone else going to accept it would be nice to see requests being upheld on the merit of the case rather than the behaviour of the applicant
