• Mandruss and Objective3000 are cautioned against circumventing edit restrictions, even when they are right on the content, and even when this is done somewhat unwittingly. Although extraordinary circumstances pertaining to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol are noted in their favour, I still consider it important to enter this in the log. Significantly, I also note that my view has seen some opposition (permanent link to AE report), including from another admin (Awilley), who maintain that this was not, in fact, a violation. As always, I invite further Committee scrutiny into my actions. Sorry for the unusual length of this log entry. El_C 21:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Per several participants at ARCA (permanent link), I am quoting the second half of my closing summary of the AE report (linked above): Though I am making it a point to acknowledge the especially high-quality work at the AP2 topic area on the part of both editors, and though this closure and log entry isn't intended to serve as a blemish on their respective records, I still strongly feel that the violation itself needs to be formally recorded (underline is my emphasis). Sorry to everyone, especially Mandruss and Objective3000, that it took me this long to figure out the utility of attaching this addendum. I hope it serves to quell any further tensions. If anyone has a suggestion about anything else I could say or do toward that end, please do not hesitate to let me know. El_C 19:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Also noting that, per Awilley's suggestion, I have updated my AE closing summary (permanent link) to clarify that this was a unilateral action on my part which did not represent consensus of views among the uninvolved admins who participated. Views, which I also note, were mixed. El_C 00:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
