As it was a very controversial RfA, yes it will be visited. Blanking it is moot, though, considering the fact that page history exists.

Well, when you put it that way, it shows how inane and out-of-proportion many of those RfA opposes were.Kraken wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 9:12 amIt was supposedly about how challenging the tone of a victim of a personal attack is effectively endorsing the attack or victim blaming. Thankfully this appears to have been a minority of a minority view, with most opposing based on how TNW reacted to Tamzin's reaction to TNW's reaction to Tamzin's comment six months previously.

Re: Tamzin resigns as an admin
Tamzin was right that Wikipedia has plenty of cultural problems, and TNW's reaction was very odd. It's also true that Wikipedia's culture is probably better than most other websites, but that's more a reflection on how unhinged places like Twitter/X and Reddit have gotten over the years.MaterialsPsych wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2024 2:09 amWell, when you put it that way, it shows how inane and out-of-proportion many of those RfA opposes were.Kraken wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 9:12 amIt was supposedly about how challenging the tone of a victim of a personal attack is effectively endorsing the attack or victim blaming.

I also think that members of the admin corps and other entrenched editors taking an occasional rolled-up newspaper to the nose is probably a good thing. A big part of the cultural problems with other parts of the Internet is that the power users/moderators/admins are completely unaccountable.

Re: Tamzin resigns as an admin
My one memory of interacting with her was when she dramatically entered the Israel/Palestine chat disgruntled mom style to tell everyone to be civil and then unceremoniously banned me for arguing with the admins in there.Skeptic Wikipedian wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 3:54 pmAnd you'd be wrong. I've had the misfortune of interacting with them on-wiki and on the Discord--where I am still very much a member--and she shows the same arrogance and inability to be more understanding (especially with newer editors). She's also apparently a parent which is quite a terrifying thought. There are other people besides her who run that place, y'know.
More on-topic, I always found Tamzin nice. I hope everything turns out as well as it can off-wiki.

She certainly loved te dramah. To the extent of encouraging it.
