This seems somewhat poignant given that User:Mardetanha, who probably
had a significant
hand
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2016/08/01/digest-farsi-wikipedia-milestone/>
in this achievement, was recently globally banned by the WMF (see current
Signpost issue, News and Notes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2024-04-25/News_and_notes>
).
Can anyone shed light on the background here?
Regards,
Andreas
