Since nobody else seems to have noticed. As seemingly the only person in the history who hasn't ever had any problem with Raul (on the rare occasions I've had any dealings with him, he's been perfectly polite and helpful) I have no opinion on the merits of this.

Can't see this (or any) diff on a BlackBerry. Could you summarize?

Side note: anybody notice how useless many of Wikipedia's features are on mobile browsers?

QUOTE
From time to time, concerns have been raised that Raul654 has misused his checkuser tools and has made drastically excessive rangeblocks, in the topic area of global warning. The Audit Subcommittee has conducted a thorough review of Raul654's use of the tools and has concluded that these concerns were justified.

In a recent e-mail to the Arbitration Committee, Raul654 has acknowledged that he may have overreacted and overused his tools, and noted that since the Audit Subcommittee investigation began he has limited his use of tools in this area. Raul654 has expressed a willingness to address the issues and, in particular, (i) to resign his access to the checkuser and oversight tools (the latter on grounds of inactivity), and the associated mailing lists; and (ii) to refrain from taking any administrator actions in connection with the topic area of global warming, broadly defined, or in connection with user conduct relating to that topic area.

Based on the report of the Audit Subcommittee, the evidence before it, and the response from Raul654, the Arbitration Committee accepts (i) Raul654's resignation as a checkuser and oversighter, effective immediately; and (ii) Raul654's proposed restriction on his future use of administrative tools in the topic area of global warning, as outlined above, which becomes binding, also effective immediately.

The Arbitration Committee thanks the members of the Audit Subcommittee for their conscientious and detailed report, and their recommendations on this matter.

For the Arbitration Committee, Roger Davies talk 15:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

In sort of defense of the WMF in this case, that's as much RIM's fault as Wikipedia's. The MediaWiki software was written in 2001 - you can't really blame Brion for not anticipating compatibility issues with a product that hadn't been invented yet.
