− | '''User Law''' was a Wikipedia editor and administrator who had previously been banned as editor 'The Undertow' by the powerful Arbitration committee in 2008, but who returned to become an administrator. This fact was known to at least three administrators who knew Law's identity, but actively helped Law to become an administrator again, or, as in the case of one Arbitration committee member, kept silent and said nothing even though they knew the truth. This incident caused concern among many members of the community, because of the implication that its administration was a closed circle of friends and enablers, with one rule for those in the circle, and another for the outsiders. | + | '''User Law''' was a Wikipedia editor and administrator who had previously been banned as editor 'The Undertow', also an administrator, by the powerful Arbitration committee in 2008, but who returned without admitting his former identity.
