That is all well and good, but when an admin is challenged over an inappropriate use of their tools, by members of the community in good standing, and acting in good faith, and asked to reinstate unilaterally- and speedily- deleted items and nominate them for a deletion discussion involving the wider community, they should not refuse to do unless there is a policy that gives support for their actions. In this case, there is none, and furthermore none has even been claimed. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
