  • @HJ Mitchell: "There are no pending case requests at the time of writing. Three cases remain open and on was closed by motion." should be fixed to "There are no pending case requests at the time of writing.

  • The GamerGate case is notable, not for any new ground that has been broken, but for the number of established editors who were induced by the topic to shed the normal means of discourse. Off Wikipedia we have one well known editor saying "my POV is winning" and another describing person or persons unknown as "vicious assholes". This is a case where it would have been most useful to be able to write with the distance of a century, although there seems no doubt that historical narrative is also bent to the service of modern day ideologies.

One thing, though: I don't think there's been any assertion that Wifione has abused his access or status as an administrator - at least not on the case pages - that I can recall.
