"edit warring with an admin"

This bit caught my attention because of the implication (no doubt unintended) that admins are more important than others.  Historically though, we don't sanction people solely for edit warring — I know that I never have.  People get blocked for

• edit warring to add warez;
• edit warring to insert unreferenced speculation, and refusing to engage in any discussion; or
• edit warring on an article about one's own project, then berating anyone who mentions NPOV.

I'm not sure how to explain all this concisely without muddying the rest of the paragraph (and maybe other admins disagree anyway).  Sadly we probably don't have enough admins for a guideline like "do not block if you've been involved in the content revisions", since that always looks like the admin throwing their weight around.  :P     Ryan W (talk) 17:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I just felt it to be a courtesy warning that I in particular am very cranky about it. If you feel it's inappropriate in tone, I won't object if you remove or soften that part of the language :P --Quasar (talk) 20:22, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
