Writ Keeper
Fair point edit
You raised a fair point at WP:AN [1] before it was closed, and I wanted to explain. Seldom do I ask for review, but this instance had three factors that made me to decide it was best to get a review. One, the editor in question had a strong recent history of using the admin boards, including ANI, AN and XRV in the past week. By asking review myself, I was removing the necessity of them asking to have the block reviewed (and them participating) at one of those boards because it was already being reviewed by the community. Second, there was a mental health element to the block, and this isn't a common thing. Additionally, I didn't just jump in and block, but had been involved in discussion with them, trying to avoid the block in the first place and closing two admin board discussion with them, so there was a possibility that some would have seen my efforts prior to the block as problematic or wp:involved. In short, asking for review was the lesser of the available evils, from my perspective. In the end, the editor agreed he needed to be blocked, and in fact, was basically asking for it before the block. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:04, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
