 * Idea for some "ground rules" for the mailing lists. No behavior that violates US law, WP:BLP, or any of the WP:CONDUCT policies (that would apply to a mailing list). Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 21:05, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * This admin may be being impersonated on Elance. I have asked Elance to delete the account their that is claiming to be them and an admin. But have not heard back from them yet.
 * Yes it is a serious issue. And I have seen it a few times. One much thus be very careful when people bring off wiki evidence that X is Y. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 05:07, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There is this code you can ad to a page for yourself that makes all user privileges visible next to their names. I forget what that is.... set it up for me and for the life of me I can't fathom what that was.--Mark Miller (talk) 05:29, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

The story on "Impersonating an admin" does not mention that who wrote the initial Draft:New Net Technologies and submitted it for Articles for creation review was also indefinitely blocked at the same time as  who contacted Sarah-Jane, but, unlike the latter one, remains blocked. I do not see that he has given cause for the block in the first place; submitting a draft article for review that fails to adequately establish the subject's notability does not constitute a breach of policy and does not warrant an indefinite block. --Lambiam 19:35, 20 June 2015 (UTC) Update: That user has also been unblocked now. --Lambiam 19:44, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
