Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ciz/Proposed decision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Case Closed as of 10 January 2005

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

  • Only items that receive a majority aye vote will be enacted.
  • Items that receive a majority nay vote will be formally rejected.
  • Items that do not receive a majority aye or nay vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.
  • Items that receive a majority abstentions will need to go through an amendment process and be re-voted on once.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator in parenthesis after his time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were enacted.

Controversial changes

[edit]

3) Wikipedia users are usually expected to discuss changes which are controversial; while this does not necessarily mean discussing the edit before making it, if an edit is reverted a user should make an attempt at discussion before changing it back.

Second accounts

[edit]

4) Creating a second account for a given class of edits does not itself constitute sockpuppet abuse. However, it does not give an editor free rein to use that account abusively.

Lack of discussion

Ciz is a secondary account

[edit]

4) Ciz edits under another account, DrBat, that he does not wish associated with zoophilia topics [1]. This does not in itself constitute creating a sock puppet for an abusive purpose.

Proposed decision

Remedies

[edit]

proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on

Prevention from editing Zoophilia

[edit]

1) Ciz (using whatever account or IP address) is prevented indefinitely from editing Zoophilia and its closely related articles, including their talk pages.

Aye:
  1. Grunt 🇪🇺 03:09, 2005 Jan 1 (UTC)
  2. Ambi 03:16, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Nay:
  1. I agree that he should be banned, but in this case, I'm a little worried about how much the word "closely" could be stretched. I can only think of one other article that this ban should probably cover, and that would be furry. So I'd be willing to ban him from those two articles, but I don't think we need to ban him from "its closly related articles". →Raul654 03:08, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
Abstain:

Attack parole

[edit]

2) Ciz (using whatever account) is placed on standard personal attack parole indefinitely. If he makes any edits which are judged by an administrator to be personal attacks, then he shall be temp-banned for a short time, up to one week.

Aye:

Good behaviour

[edit]

3)If Ciz can demonstrate at a later date willingness to discuss and accept consensus without resorting to personal attacks, then Ciz may apply to have the above restrictions reduced or lifted.
