all proposed

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

  • Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
  • Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
  • Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" 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.

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

On this case, [0] Arbitrators are recused and [4] are inactive, so [5] votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

[edit] Competence

1) Successful editing of Wikipedia requires a minimum level of emotional and intellectual maturity as well as competence in adequately identifying sources of information and expressing the information found. Users who fail to meet minimum standards may be banned until they are able to demonstrate adequate maturity and competence.

[edit] Proposed findings of fact

[edit] Immature behavior

1) Gabrielsimon (talk • contribs) and his sockpuppets Gavin_the_Chosen (talk • contribs) and others has engaged in a variety of immature behaviors [1], [2]. This immature behavior is accompanied by quarreling with other users, see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/DreamGuy-2, inept POV editing [3] and scrambled syntax and spelling [4].

[edit] Proposed remedies

Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.

[edit] Ban

1.1) Gabrielsimon (under any username) is banned from editing Wikipedia for one month.

Support:
  1. I want to give probation a chance Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 13:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  2. Fred Bauder 15:02, August 31, 2005 (UTC) First choice
  3. James F. (talk) 15:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  4. first choice ➥the Epopt 16:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  5. second choice; needs a longer break before coming back. Jayjg (talk) 05:57, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  6. Neutralitytalk 04:38, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose:
Abstain:

1.2) Gabrielsimon (under any username) is banned from editing Wikipedia for one year.

Support:
  1. My second choice. If my fellow arbitrators don't think any of the remedies below will work then I'd rather a year ban then leaving him free to return unchecked after a month ban is up Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 13:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  2. Fred Bauder 15:02, August 31, 2005 (UTC) if serial probation rejected.
  3. Second choice, as with Theresa. James F. (talk) 15:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Serial probation

2.1) When Gabrielsimon (talk • contribs) returns he may chose another username if he wishes. If problems evidencing immaturity emerge with the new username he may be banned for up to an additional month by any three Wikipedia administrators who, based on his edits and behavior, identify him and feel an additional month's ban may aid him him in gaining maturity. This remedy shall continue until he has edited Wikipedia for 6 months without being banned. A log shall be maintained on this page of all bans.


Support:
  1. I feel that without this he'll be back before the AC almost immediately. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 13:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  2. Fred Bauder 15:02, August 31, 2005 (UTC) Like most new things this will probably not work, but I'd like to try it. First choice over 2.2
  3. James F. (talk) 15:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  4. first choice ➥the Epopt 16:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  5. second choice; burden of monitoring him already great. Jayjg (talk) 05:57, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
  6. Neutralitytalk 04:38, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Oppose:
Abstain:


2.2 When Gabrielsimon (talk • contribs) returns he may chose another username if he wishes. If problems evidencing immaturity emerge with the new username he may be banned for up to an additional month by any three Wikipedia administrators who, based on his edits and behavior, identify him and feel an additional ban may aid him him in gaining maturity. This remedy shall continue until he has edited Wikipedia for 2 months without being banned. A log shall be maintained on this page of all bans. At the end of one year from closing of this case Gabrielsimon will be released from any current ban and his case reviewed.

Support:
  1. I prefer an open ended remedy but will support this if 2.1 doesn't pass Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 13:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  2. Fred Bauder 15:02, August 31, 2005 (UTC) second choice relative to 2.1
  3. Second choice, again. James F. (talk) 15:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
  4. last choice ➥the Epopt 16:23, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
