Hi, Sorry, sent too fast. ;o)
I think I need to explain the whole history of the issue. 1. On 22 February 2014, Alan started the Request for comment (RfC) on whether we should host URAA-affected files, and restored previously deleted ones (around 4,300 of them). [1] 2. On 28 February 2014, TeleComNasSprVen proposed a moratorium on deletion of images under URAA. 3. On 18 March 2014, the initial proposal has received a huge support, with some people opposing it, including some active admins. On that date, I made a proposal for a compromise: only allowing a subset of affected files. This has received only a few comments, and no opposition. The discussion seems to be stalled around that date. 4. On 24 March 2014, I made a proposal for closuring the RfC as Yes. This received 21 supports, and one opposition. None of the admins who initially opposed the RfC cared to add any input. I mentioned that closure will be done after one week. 5. On 2 April 2014, I close the RfC according to my proposal. 6. On 3 April 2014, Russavia unilaterally reverted my closure, and the changes I made to the relevant policy pages, without any discussion.
