Looking in my userpage edit
Of course, people are welcome to look in on my posts and sandbox, it would be appreciated if they would leave me message in my talk page rather than I get a message in my email that someone was looking in.

- As for why I looked at your sandbox: it was on the list of recently-created pages, that's all. "Recently" = "within the past 30 days". It's really quite a backlogged list; I mark the obviously-good stuff to get it out of my way so that I can focus on the less-obviously good stuff, and the obviously-bad stuff. Your stuff was obviously-good. DS (talk) 11:27, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
