There's a reason that I can think of as to why other users go to you about unlocking pages - something about you, likely something you do/did, is giving them the impression that you are an admin. Threads like this are but one example why. Was Sham in the wrong? Absolutely. Did he get punished for it? Yes he did - and when he tried to explain himself you shut the door on him because you didn't want to entertain what he was saying. Effectively, you are policing his actions as an admin would. I would have told him that he will need to talk to one of us, that as far as you are concerned he broke a rule and you fixed it. That sort of thing ("we're done here", effectively shutting the door on simple discussion) is probably why other users think you are an admin. This --> "You wanna know why that edit was made? Ask the admin who made the edit." was the correct response. And I have explained that to him.

Case in point: The page history.

(for those who don't know, Dchallofjustice is one of our admins)

Take a look at that, Red. All I see here is back and forth you and Sham. And I hope you can see where you're being a little more unfair to Sham. You and him both went back and forth reverting each other and that's what got you both blocked. But look at what he said - its an admin decision to make. He did take the wrong approach in not discussing it first. But you aren't assuming good faith when you don't encourage him to follow the process we put forth, which would be to encourage discussion.

Of more concern to me is the language in the linked thread above. When I look at that, in the context of the situation, and I see "we're done here", it tells me that you are making the call when it's actually our call to make as admins. We set it up that way, and we did so for a reason. The proper recourse was to discuss the edit, which I have now done with Sham. Although I don't agree with him, I do believe he has a valid point in that on RangerWiki this is handled differently than on Kamen Rider Wiki where he normally edits. By closing the door so-to-speak, you basically told him this is how it is and to accept it.
