c t after famil members died in the wwi outbreak i had a dead family member pulled out of the family farm house window into a cart for the dead what is interesting is there is no mexico page just a us one just shows how country biased english wikipedia is that's terrible i wouldn't say it's a bias thing overtly so much as people write what they know a lot of us are american the american media is going nutsthis hasn't happened to us in years i'm sure if there was more readily available coverage in mexican media and people with time skill to work it over that it could be just as built out c t ncmvocalist's questions hello rootology you've made a series of comments at the block review for the block imposed on ikip and you later reversed ikip's block i would request that you answer my questions as promptly as possible have you made any attempts to communicate with the blocking admin prior to your unblock if so how many minutes elapsed between your attempts to communicate with the blocking admin and your unblock you have stated to amib you as an admin have zero standing or authority to levy this block as one of the deepest deletionist partisans on this site just as anyone deeply involved in the squadron would have zero standing or authority to undo it can you please provide diffs to support this claim in saying to amib you must undo this block and not do such a thing again or you will not be long for your tools once the arbitration committee sees what you're about can you clarify what you meant you've stated to amib you pretty much missed the goal as far right as you can on this one for being involved can you provide diffs for this claim thanks hi blocks and admin actions are never sacrosanct unless they are from the arbitration committee as a body or cited as an office action any can be reversed once by any admin in good faith with justification i provided my justifications here for your specific questions we were talking in the ani thread that is classically regarded as sufficient but i posted the diffs that he was going to pull for him there's no canvassing for days before the block since blocks are preventative by policy and not punative the block automatically has no standing i re opened the archived discussion that abd closed so that my unblock can be reviewed and re instated by any uninvolved admin if required this would take a long while to gather it all but a long standing user's leanings are hardly secret i'm a blp zealot most times ikip is an inclusionist dgg is an inclusionist joshuaz is an inclusionist amib is a deletionist phil sandifer is an inclusionist admins have repeatedly been told by the ac and policy that they may not use tools in areas in which they are involved my strongly worded suggestion was so that another good admin doesn't fall down that hole see again any demonstratably uninvolved admin can freely reverse my unblock i waive all wheel warriness etc amib has replied to my unblock by the way on that thread c t okay just to note that it was very appropriate of you to revert the closing and leave the thread open for the reasons you've stated there are a couple of things i'd like to clarify for future incidents if amib had participated in that particular deletion discussion then using his tools would likely be inappropriate alternatively as may be the case here if amib had been involved in personal and direct conflict with ikip especially if it was recent then his use of tools would not be appropriate such involvement can cloud judgement however mere general participation in other deletion debates discussions is not necessarily enough for an admin to be considered involved similarly
