Wikipedia community reacts to an editor being temporarily banned

On June 10, the Wikimedia Foundation did something unprecedented in its decade and a half history: It banned a user from the English-language Wikipedia for a year. Within the Wikipedia community, Fram is known as a rigorous and prolific administrator with a special talent for quality control: removing spam, handling copyright issues, and, ironically, booting banned users who post under new names. That night, the foundation released a short statement explaining that the ban had originated in complaints from the Wikipedia community.
