  • My goodness me, I missed that drama. Before other editors head to the RfA to see what was said, note that it's been reverted (and you'll have to go fishing in the page's history to get to it, but I don't recommend it – it's vile). Athaenara, an admin and an editor of 16 years, has been permanently banned for that attack. Atrocious behaviour. Totally unacceptable. I'm sorry you had to put up with this, Isabelle Belato.

  • Damn I didn't know that happened. I think I remember seeing the ANI report relating to it (yes i watch ANI, I don't remember why though) but didn't know it was this bad. On a more positive note, I'm really loving these reviews with people who have had RFAs. It's interesting to see what the new admins who got nominated through RFA thought of their RFA. Keep it going! ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:01, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at their user pages and saw things like the signature gallery and lists of articles created, and their logs show literally thousands of spam pages removed from Wikipedia, and it strikes me that they had a lot invested in the good of this place. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't done a lot of thinking and re-thinking in the two weeks since their last post.
Looking at their talk page, discovered a template I hadn't known about that notifies people that someone else has joined a discussion they began! So, @Schwede66: @Kudpung: @Blaze Wolf: @Novem Linguae: I just think total termination forever or a death sentence goes too far because it doesn't take into account that they may be learning something from all this. 173.228.123.198 (talk) 21:57, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you ping me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:59, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Blaze Wolf, I see now your post was about something else! 173.228.123.198 (talk) 22:01, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
