:::Oh you're right; that's why Sarek is on the list. I note Sarek's evidence there is generally against the editors that Sarek sided against in the edit war today; while this is fine in itself I'm sure it would be best if Sarek wasn't the one to mete out any blocks here.

::::The issue was edit warring over the inclusion of a 21st example at [[WP:COMMONNAMES]]. I reverted the undiscussed inclusion, and then a passel of editors edit warred over whether it should be included, one suggested avoiding the controversy by using Halley's comet instead of one with a hyphen, and when the hyphenated one, spelled of course with a dash instead, was reinserted for the ''fourth time'' SarekOfVulcan said "Since this is about common names, rather than hyphen usage, I have replaced HB with Halley. The next person to change it gets an [[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement]] block." In my opinion both actions, the warning and the replacement were warranted but were not at the level of requiring being logged. It is certainly within the sanctions to warn everyone of the discretionary sanctions, and if anyone was blocked, however briefly, it would certainly need to be logged. To think that someone could replace it a fifth time and not get blocked is ludicrous. [[User:Apteva|Apteva]] ([[User talk:Apteva|talk]]) 08:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

== Could you review something? ==

I need a reality check, because I am once again becoming concerned by [[User:JASpencer]]'s editing on Masonic topics. Some of his recent comments boarder on accusing the members of the Freemasonry wikiproject of being a "cabal". And there has been a spurt of problematic (I would not quite call them "disruptive") edits on his part recently. I don't want to escalate tensions... just a review of his editing pattern and substance, and if warranted a mild warning (note... issue one to me as well, if you think it justified... I got a little too involved in some of the recent disputes, and I know I am not pure as snow here. I am always open to constructive criticism).

If you feel you are involved... would you pass this request on to a non-involved admin. Thanks. [[User:Blueboar|Blueboar]] ([[User talk:Blueboar|talk]]) 17:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
