Shouldn't the blockquote have a footnote? --NE2 03:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

It does... Daniel (talk) 03:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

No, I mean a real footnote. With a long quote in it. And a revert war over the inclusion of the quote. --NE2 06:06, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Ha, missed the pun totally. Daniel (talk) 06:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Special enforcement guidelines

The page says "may use special enforcement guidelines". Where are these special enforcement guidelines? I think people are being confused here. Is this "special enforcement" as in 'over-and-above normal enforcement', or is it "special enforcement" as in 'all enforcement of this important policy is special'?

I'm confused, too, but what I think this means are the enforcements listed at the relevant remedy: "Where editors fail to comply with BLP policy after being counseled and warned, administrators may impose sanctions on them, including restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors, bans from editing any BLP or BLP-related page or set of pages, blocks of up to one year in length, or any other measures which may be considered necessary." Don't ask me what's special about that, tho. --Conti|✉ 23:08, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Whats special is that you can't appeal such sanctions using an {{unblock}} template or at AN/ANI. Also, other admins on their own cannot overturn a ban, as they normally can. Only a clear consensus at AE or RFAR can overturn admins who place "special" sanctions on people for BLPs. MBisanz 23:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
