Questions from Rschen7754
I use the answers to these questions to write my election guide. As a break from past years, I am not assigning "points" for the answers, but the answers to the questions, along with other material that I find in my research, will be what my guide is based on. Also, I may be asking about specific things outside the scope of ArbCom; your answers would be appreciated regardless.



Thank you. Rschen7754 22:30, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Question from Gerda Arendt



 * Thank you for a fast and short response, which can be applied generously and often helpfully. However, which rule would you have to ignore in this case? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:44, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought that might be a bit too brief! In this case it's the topic ban itself that should be ignored. I don't hold with the argument that the wording of the topic ban technically didn't forbid this edit - the wording could (and should) have been better, but it's clearly implied that infoboxes are a problem area for Andy. Here, however, the edit was unproblematic (for everyone except, ironically, Andy himself, who got dragged before the court as a result) and actually made Wikipedia better; in such cases, there's no gain to be had by sanctioning the editor involved. By the way, would you object if I reformatted this as a new Q&A to abide by the guidelines for this page? Yunshui 雲 水 15:51, 17 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you! May I shorten it to "The edit was unproblematic and actually made Wikipedia better") - Please feel free to reformat, it's just that I "promised" one question, instead of the 3 reminiscent of fairy tales last year ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
