User:Dvgrn protected the article OCA:tlife with the following summary in the log:
I agree that edit wars and people angry at each other are bad things, and trying to find some common ground from which to proceed is a better thing.Latest revision as of 04:07, 27 November 2023 wrote:Protected "OCA:Tlife": Edit-war-type controversial edits are still inexplicably continuing, in spite of multiple clear moderator requests for that behavior to stop until discussion and cool-off periods are complete as per LW:DR ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))
What I do strongly object to is dvgrn acting as a moderator in issues where they are an involved party. Editors should not act as moderators in disputes in which they have been involved.
What is described as 'multiple clear moderator requests' in the quoted text above, all are requests coming from dvgrn, who is a side in the dispute between them and myself on the "condition vs. transition" issue specifically.

Protecting the page from editing is also an administrative action in the same dispute.
(To clarify, I do not object to the page protection in itself.
I do strongly object to dvgrn continuing to present themselves as a moderator in this edit war. Here they are only another editor with a specific preference and strong feelings on the issue.
While it is something obvious to me, I would appreciate it, if dvgrn acknowledged this directly and left any future administrative actions in this dispute for some other moderator or other moderators.)
Posting this as a new thread for two reasons: first, it is not about the terminology itself; second, it applies to any other similar disagreements.
