I think that was Doug.  Thanks Doug!

Agreed, which is one reason I would like clarification on their 
correctness.  In general, I'd encourage contributors to request the 
permissions they need to maximize the contributions they're willing to make.

I think the first step is to please check that you're a member of the 
Ubuntu Wiki Editors LP Group [5].  If you've done any of your editing in 
the last 5 years or so, I think you must've been at some point, but 
perhaps your membership expired (you didn't renew), or they purged 
inactive members.
