Congratulations on your dissertation on Wikipedia and the reporting of breaking news. It is extremely well researched. This morning at 10:00 Sky News reported that Theresa May was on the steps of 10 Downing Street, preparing to make a statement. At 10:07 the radio announcer confirmed that she had said she would resign. So well done Wikipedia - her article was updated at 09:08. That is of course (as Risker pointed out during the Grant Shapps affair) 10:08 our time. Here's a courtesy copy of the meta discussion - I will be watching both pages.
Global locks
Here's an example of where a global lock would be appropriate [1]. Can you unlock "**** *** *** ******"? I can't see any reason why it was locked in the first place. 77.44.12.10010:21, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Resent as an edit filter is claiming the first version is "not constructive". The account name is on your meta talk page.

So, I didn't realize a sco.wiki admin is actually employed by the foundation, but now that I know that I could use your help if you don't mind. –MJL‐Talk‐☖23:16, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strange situation
Hello JS. I just attempted to vote in the enwiki Arbcom elections. Upon attempting to login, my saved password was apparently incorrect so I reset my password with success via email (implying that it is the correct SUL-linked account). At that point, I was told “login not allowed” because my account is blocked, by you, from 2019 (prior to that year’s elections). I am completely baffled. I am pretty sure I have voted in most AC elections after the 2018 election without issue. I am a consistent ACE participant if not a coordinator. Any idea what is going on? I can’t make sense of it. ~Swarm~{sting}05:41, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Djano Chained This is absurd and it is very clear you have no idea how Wikipedia works or the threats that WP editors face. (Note that this editor has made no edits outside this topic area) Cremastra (u — c) 21:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
