Explanation, please?

"along with a warning to not change infobox parameters": If you'll take a moment to read my edit summary, it was a polite request, not a warning. I did not make any accusation of policy violation. I did not say anything about vandalism. I did not suggest any threat of block or other sanction. My exact words were "Please don't tinker with infobox parameter", which is not a "warning". Please assume good faith.
"reverted him for what appears to be no more reason than you liked the previous version better": If you'll take another moment to look at the version of the infobox before and after his edit, you'll see that his edit removed part of the important information in the infobox. Specifically, before his edit it read: "Last: Pope Benedict XVI, 19 April 2005 - 28 February 2013". After his edit it read: "Since February 28, 2013". It's not uncommon when an edit removes important information, especially without explanation in an edit summary, that edit is reverted.

Now, I'll assume good faith that you hastily fired off your message to me without looking at these details and thank you for that message, misguided as it might have been. Have a good day!. Cresix (talk) 15:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

A concern about checkuser and oversight

Hi Philippe, I have a concern related to an issue I believe you've commented on before on behalf of the Foundation.

Risker is keen to see the Arbitration Committee appoint non-administrators to the Audit Subcommittee. This committee oversees the use of checkuser and oversight, and its members are given access to the CU and oversight tools themselves. It has happened once before that a non-admin was appointed, though it didn't work out and lasted only a few weeks, as I recall.

It concerns me that this should be proposed, because it means that the committee – elected from a very small number of candidates, sometimes with close to just 50 percent of the vote – would be giving the CU and oversight tools to editors who have never gone through any form of election. My recollection is that the Foundation insists that editors with access to deleted revisions submit to an election that is at least as rigorous as the RFA process; that is, those with access to deleted revisions should be administrators, or should have been chosen to have access to deleted material in a way that is similar to applying for adminship.

My question to you is: does the Foundation have the same minimum requirement for access to the checkuser and oversight tools? SlimVirgin 19:26, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

m:CheckUser and m:Oversight indicate the minimum requirements globally. --Rschen7754 19:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have made clear that I'm asking only about the English Misplaced Pages. So far as I know, it has no CUs or oversighters who aren't admins, so the proposal to appoint one without an election that is equivalent to RfA (with the same consensus requirement) is a concern, particularly as it seems to clash with the Foundation's position on deleted revisions. I've just realized that I've asked this on Philippe's personal account so perhaps I should move it. SlimVirgin 20:33, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
