How I wish I could have answered edit

  • Q: An IP adds an infobox to Buckingham Palace as their first edit. Two minutes later, an established editor with 5 confirmed contributions to WP:FAC reverts this edit with a summary "no consensus". The IP adds the infobox back with the edit summary "looks better". The established editor reverts "no consensus, go away". The IP re-reverts with a summary "pls leave my edits alone you bully", which is reverted by the same editor with the summary "you wouldn't know a FA if it came up and gave you a haircut, now piss off". Immediately after this, you stumble on the article history - what do you do?
    A: I believe settled policy in these cases is to ping El C. —valereee (talk) 21:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
You don't need to ping El C. He is omnipresent. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

A suggestion edit

Came across this puzzler today.

Imagine that one day you became insane and started vandalizing Wikipedia. You then get blocked (temporarily), but somehow retain your administrator permissions. What would you do?

  • Appeal the block.
  • Evade the block.
  • Unblock myself.
  • Wait for the block to expire.
