This edit [3] was a personal attack on Dmcdevitt a
nd a bit too incivil to ignore. Per WP:CIVIL and W
P:NPA I'm placing a short block on your account (6
hours) to encourage you to cool down and contribu
te in a more polite and constructive manner. Georg

a little OTT there, GWH? —Preceding unsigned com

are intimately involved in the same discussion and
you're blocking a fellow administrator for "cool-
down"? Read the goddamn blocking policy. krimpetâœ

think there was a conflict of interest. Georgewill

k this is appropriate, I'm discussing with George
now. Unilaterally unblocking would be a bad idea,
hopefully this can get sorted. Keilana|Parlez ici
04:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC) Also, for context, D
mcdevit was rather smugly mocking Durova and her c
omments in #wikipedia-en-admins at the time, which
is what drove me to post that (admittedly not tha
t helpful in hindsight) comment. krimpet✽ 04:14,
23 February 2008 (UTC) It sounds like there's con
text there I wasn't aware of then. I had to go by
how it sounded by itself. Ah well. You'd think tha
t on a wiki project, we'd have some hope of actual
ly knowing everything we need to know... I'm satis
fied with the explanation and responses on ANI, th
at I pulled the trigger too easily on this. My apo
logies for that. I appreciate that you acknowledge
d that the comment wasn't so great. Georgewilliamh

I am all for block for incivility but that was har
dly nearing the edge. ViridaeTalk 04:40, 23 Februa

olved. Ignore me. ViridaeTalk 05:49, 23 February 2
