The Mentorship Committee is an informal, self-selecting, self-organised committee set up to mentor people put on probation or mentorship by either the Arbcom or the Wikipedia community. Those watched will be informed by us. A bot will be run in a channel on freenode to watch over the contributions of selected users. Our goal is to make ourselves a pool of available mentors, and to utilize a bot in #wikipedia-probation to watch over specific people. It is to be noted though that we are not every Wikipedia mentor, just as the Wikipedia:Mediation Committee does not include every Wikipedia mediator.

[edit] Some ground rules

  • The purpose of the committee is to monitor and act upon an editor who is under probation.
  • Aside from whatever powers each member may possess (eg. if they are admins, they may independently block a user for an egregious edit), this committee has no actual power, and will take no actions: its role is to revert any objectionable edits a user on probation may make, and report these edits to ArbCom.
  • Probation is a privilege, as compared to being outright banned. If the same deeds are done which caused the probation, it shall be considered a blockable offense.
  • If the Arbcom assigns someone else mentorship, we will not interfere.

[edit] Onefortyone

Confirmation that all parties are aware of the probation. Notification on the talk pages of Onefortyone (talk contribs) and Ted Wilkes (talk contribs), Wyss (talk contribs) is also involved.

This matter requires attention as Ted Wilkes and Wyss feel that Onefortyone has continued with objectionable activity while Onefortyone feels they are unjustifiably calling for a ban on him. Fred Bauder 02:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Probation notes

  • Onefortyone has written to me on my talk page (diff) regarding User:Jkelly banning him from editing Elvis Presley; Jkelly has noted this in the log on the Arbcom case page although it's unclear to me which edits this is in reference to. It looks like it is about the Presley homosexuality claims which formed part of the original arbcom case. I'm going to follow this up with Jkelly and see if we can come to some sort of mutual agreement. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 23:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
