Hi,

An [User:Dbachmann/moon1], could you change the .png file extension to .svg? They're smaller, and we don't need the .png any more. Thanks. — kwami (talk) 09:04, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello

Hello, I’m a bit strapped for time right now but could please reverse your unblock of Andew? Per Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Unblock requests, “Except in cases of unambiguous error or significant change in circumstances dealing with the reason for blocking, administrators should avoid unblocking users without first attempting to contact the blocking administrator to discuss the matter.” And I said I would be opposed to any unblock without a topic ban on the talk page. There was an unanswered question from Andew on the talk, I believed your unblock jumped the gun a bit on that discussion. If you do not reverse your block I will take this up in another venue. Thank you, Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 12:13, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am myself strapped for time. Which is a bad excuse when taking actions like this, I hope I can invest some time in this tonight. But when in doubt, if you believe a user absolutely needs to be banned asap to prevent damage to the project, chances are extremely high that you will not be the only admin to think so. Please let us both take a step back from this. In my judgement, you have clearly, blatantly stepped over a line here. If you think that no, it was me who is out of line, let us please leave this to a third, or fourth, or fifth previously uninvolved party.
I have received my admin buttons back in 2004, and I freely admit I haven't used them in a good while, but that's the way I remember things should be done, if challenged, take a step back and let others make a call.
If you find a third admin (ideally one without known prejudice or involvement) and they decide to overturn my action, I absolutely promise you will hear no further complaints from me. --dab (𒁳) 12:57, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
