Lir is currently asking for clarification for her ban
from the english
wikipedia, on the wikipedia-l. I do not think this is a topic for
wikipedia-l.
However, after I mentionned that to her, she answered she was banned
from english wikipedia, from wikien-l and from irc, so wikipedia-l was
the last place she could discuss her ban.
I am sorry to ask this, but I would prefer that Lir presents her defense
on the english wikipedia mailing list, since it is an english wikipedia
issue. I do not think all languages have to be involved in local issues
discussion. I do not think Lir ban is a wikipedia wide topic of
discussion :-)
Now, it has been going on for such a long time that I do not know what
is the current status of Lir, with regards to her being allowed to edit.
Did the AC pronounced her banned ? For which duration ?
Is she really banned from the english mailing list ? Why was she ? Is it
permanent ? Who decide who is banned from a list ?
Is she really banned from irc as well ? Why ? Is it permanent ?
The following email addresses are banned from wikien-l:
lilianmatos(a)concite.sadistics.com
dreday1207(a)mail15.com
jewel_tay771(a)netzero.com
plautus(a)shaw.ca
Lir's a[name omitted for privacy reasons] at msn address doesn't seem to be
subscribed to either
wikien-l or wikipedia-l, nor is it banned, so I can only assume the
posts were queued for moderation. If he's having trouble subscribing, he
can email me and I'll subscribe him using the administrative interface.
The current ban list for #wikipedia is:
creak!*@*
Editing*!*@*
A username ban on IRC is not a serious barrier to entry, just a hint
that the person in question is not wanted. I imagine Lir is referring to
the Editing* ban, which is odd since he denies being that person.
I would have liked to go and see whether she was
blocked or not on the
english mailing list.
However, I do not have any admin access to the mailing lists any more
since Fire reorganised everything. Not even to the lists I administrated
myself for a while :-)
Have you asked Fire for access?
As far as I know, only 3 people have admin access now,
brion, ed poor
and jeronim.
So, brion, ed and jeronim, could one of you please check if Lir has
access or not ?
Now, you know how much I dislike seeing my name not mentioned, so I just
had to reply to this :) I'm pretty sure Fire sent the new administrator
password to all the people with shell access. Anyone with root access
could administer the lists by just changing the password temporarily.
If Lir does not have access, who is willing to discuss
with Lir offline ?
Lir is a liar. The technical evidence strongly suggests he's the same
person as "Editing Saddam Hussein".
