Following my announcement of the block, it was criticized by five editors at [[WP:AN]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=417890208#QuackGuru_again_-_what_do_I_do_now.3F Slimvirgin, Hans Adler, Short Brigade Harvester Boris, The Four Deuces, Xxanthippe]), of which several, as it appears to me from their statements, had been involved in disputes related to the editor threatened by Ludwigs2 and/or the topic of pseudoscience. Two editors, on the other hand, appeared to agree that Ludwigs2's statement at issue had been disruptive ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=417882930 Collect], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=417883619 N419BH]).

Later, on his talk page, in response to a query from another user, Dreadstar [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dreadstar&diff=prev&oldid=417896394 declined] to undo his reversal of my arbitration enforcement action.

I submit that the discussion at [[WP:AN]] did not constitute [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=417890208#QuackGuru_again_-_what_do_I_do_now.3F at the time of the unblock], or indeed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&oldid=417914824#QuackGuru_again_-_what_do_I_do_now.3F now], the "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" that is required, per [[WP:AEBLOCK|this Committee's prior decision]], to undo my AE action. I therefore respectfully ask the Committee to take the steps it considers appropriate to prevent Dreadstar from continuing from unilaterally reverting AE actions. At the same time, I welcome any advice or criticism by the Committee about whether my AE action was appropriate or what other action, if any, would have been better. <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<font style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Sandstein&nbsp;'''</font>]]</span></small> 06:38, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Statement by Sandstein

At 23:27, 8 March 2011, I blocked Ludwigs2 for 72 hours as a response to threats they made at WP:AN against another editor in the context of a dispute concerning the pseudoscience article (State of the AN thread at that time). I labeled this block as an arbitration enforcement action pursuant to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience#Discretionary sanctions, and applied the {{uw-aeblock}} to Ludwigs2's talk page, which warns administrators not to unilaterally undo it except as per WP:AEBLOCK (Current state of the respective section of Ludwigs2's talk page).

Following my announcement of the block, it was criticized by five editors at WP:AN (Slimvirgin, Hans Adler, Short Brigade Harvester Boris, The Four Deuces, Xxanthippe), of which several, as it appears to me from their statements, had been involved in disputes related to the editor threatened by Ludwigs2 and/or the topic of pseudoscience. Two editors, on the other hand, appeared to agree that Ludwigs2's statement at issue had been disruptive (Collect, N419BH).

At 02:41, 9 March 2011, about three hours after the block, Dreadstar unblocked Ludwigs2 without entering into discussion with me. Later, on his talk page, in response to a query from another user, Dreadstar declined to undo his reversal of my arbitration enforcement action.

I submit that the discussion at WP:AN did not constitute at the time of the unblock, or indeed now, the "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" that is required, per this Committee's prior decision, to undo my AE action. I therefore respectfully ask the Committee to take the steps it considers appropriate to prevent Dreadstar from continuing from unilaterally reverting AE actions. At the same time, I welcome any advice or criticism by the Committee about whether my AE action was appropriate or what other action, if any, would have been better.  Sandstein  06:38, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
