| ::With respect (I dont mean to question your block just maybe provide an alternative view) while looking at this editor's editing history (since ive tried communciating with them, I feel im a bit involved), I think they are merely trying to re-position the images on the page so the images do not overlap the subject header lines. This is what seems to show if you look at the page's formats after User:68.239.233.45 edited (where the page format actually presents better when viewed on IE than before their edits (dont know about other browsers). They basically just do not know how to position an image properly but i think they have good intentions here. I do not think he/she is deliberately trying to damage or disrupt the page, just needs some guidance on how to do this properly. happy editing. ] (]) 18:19, 31 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::You may well be correct, but all we can do is to speculate because 68.239 has so far failed to explain the edits - either in the edit summary, or on their talk page. Even assuming that they are not deliberately disrupting, the fact that they did it again ''after they have been blocked for it once already'', and without any attempt to explain what they are doing, IMO is more than sufficient to justify the block. ] (]) 03:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

You have a sanction (and the principle of it sucks) but if admins chose to finally step it up then it is a good thing. Hopefully it is for everyone (unlike the Chesdovi getting nailed to the wall and others not) and you can continue your fine contributions with or without reverting. You can do good without reverting so don;t worry about it. It will make coming out of your sanction that much sweeter if you do not constantly edit in breach of it. Not sure if I agree with the sanction or not, Tim. but I don;t think it matters since Gilabrand will continue to contribute in a productive fashion if she chooses to. ] (]) 08:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC) | |||

Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
