  • Patrick Leahy is semi-protected for one month--Ymblanter (talk) 07:48, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Mandruss and Objective3000 are cautioned against circumventing edit restrictions, even when they are right on the content, and even when this is done somewhat unwittingly. Although extraordinary circumstances pertaining to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol are noted in their favour, I still consider it important to enter this in the log. Significantly, I also note that my view has seen some opposition (permanent link to AE report), including from another admin (Awilley), who maintain that this was not, in fact, a violation. As always, I invite further Committee scrutiny into my actions. Sorry for the unusual length of this log entry. El_C 21:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
    • Per several participants at ARCA (permanent link), I am quoting the second half of my closing summary of the AE report (linked above): Though I am making it a point to acknowledge the especially high-quality work at the AP2 topic area on the part of both editors, and though this closure and log entry isn't intended to serve as a blemish on their respective records, I still strongly feel that the violation itself needs to be formally recorded (underline is my emphasis). Sorry to everyone, especially Mandruss and Objective3000, that it took me this long to figure out the utility of attaching this addendum. I hope it serves to quell any further tensions. If anyone has a suggestion about anything else I could say or do toward that end, please do not hesitate to let me know. El_C 19:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
      • Also noting that, per Awilley's suggestion, I have updated my AE closing summary (permanent link) to clarify that this was a unilateral action on my part which did not represent consensus of views among the uninvolved admins who participated. Views, which I also note, were mixed. El_C 00:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

  • Kidboogaloo is blocked indefinitely from the site per AP2 DS with NOTHERE as a rationale. 11 of 12 edits by the user during the past year were politically-based disruption. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:16, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

  • NedFausa is indefinitely topic banned from the AP2 topic area, broadly construed (which also applies to any living persons therein). El_C 17:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Note that due to new and disturbing information, I have also proposed to siteban NedFausa, a proposal which they themselves then expressed support of (!). Anyway, it appears almost certain to pass unanimously, so I guess that's that. El_C 20:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
      • Noting for the sake of completion that the proposal to siteban NedFausa passed unanimously. An indefinite block for disruption was already in place before this (with everything disabled). I have since re-blocked so as to note the siteban in the block log. Though not an AE matter, I still thought it was worth recording here, at AEL, as well. El_C 04:04, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

            • User indefinitely blocked (only 12m is AE) following an AN appeal against an extension to the tban where evidence of multiple tban vios emerged and it was discovered the user had been using email to circumvent the ban.

        • Following yet another topic ban violation (I think number 4 or 5 now, if we count all the warnings for these that did not lead to sanctions), Solavirum has committed to avoiding anything related to the Ottomans, Iranians, Turks, Persians, Georgians, Caucuses, Caspian Sea, etc. — hello et cetera!

  • Mclarenfan17 (no edits since June) has been editing while logged out, in contravention of their interaction ban with Tvx1. As such, per Tvx1's AE complaint, the sanction is reaffirmed, directing admins to block any IPs belonging to Mclarenfan17 with immediate effect, at least until some form of communication is established. Added Feb 25: archive link to 7 Feb AE complaint and permanent link to Feb 12 one. As well, permanent link to discussion on my talk page with Mclarenfan17/IP, last comment Feb 24. El_C 09:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Feb 18 developments collapsed. El_C 16:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
:*{{Noting that an IP identifying as Mclarenfan17 did engage in some limited discussion on my talk page, but it has since fizzled out, with evasion continuing (on ranges that would result in too much collateral if blocked). As such, semiprotection seems like the way to go here, with an indefinite semi just applied by me to 2021 World Rally Championship, with other related pages likely to follow. El_C 19:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)}}

{{Also noting that Mclarenfan17/IP keeps showing up on my talk page to post lengthy comments, as of yesterday on Feb 24 (permanent link), partially to violate their IBAN by speaking against their opponent, but also to make strange claims about how it would take them 6 weeks to get a registered account approved (is that even a thing?), which they feel isn't fair and so on. Meanwhile, they continue to edit the topic area via IP hopping on still too wide a range to block, as of Feb 23 (diffdiff), even though they know they shouldn't (I expressly told them so, repeatedly). So, not much confidence on that front (that we can end this whole whack-a-mole), unfortunately. Oh well. Sorry for the length of this! El_C 11:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)}}
  • El C, discretionary sanctions are not authorized for this case, so these protections should not be labeled as AE actions, but regular admin actions. The only thing that needs to be logged here is the block of Mclarenfan17 for violating the IBAN remedy. – bradv🍁 13:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Bradv, ah, understood. Thanks, will keep that in mind moving forward (duly collapsed). El_C 14:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
      • As there's no AE in this area, I've removed protection from most and any that looked possibly contentious (e.g. as though the protection was doing something (i.e. current seasons)), I added an expiry date of 1 January 2022, after which we can see if it is still necessary.
