Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche 2/Proposed decision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

all proposed

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 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 enacted.

On this case, 1 arbitrator is recused and 2 are inactive/away, so 5 votes are a majority.

[edit] Editing ban by participants in this matter

1) Herschelkrustofsky (contribs), Weed Harper (contribs), C Colden (contribs), IP address 64.30.208.48 (contribs), and User:Cberlet, User:Willmcw, and User:SlimVirgin are prohibited from editing articles on Template:LaRouche, editing the talk pages on Template:LaRouche Talk or creating new articles related to the LaRouche movement pending resolution of this matter. This includes editing by anonymous AOL accounts.

Aye:
  1. The existing articles are no count, no purpose is served by further churning Fred Bauder 15:36, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

Nay:
  1. David Gerard 23:04, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) No, it's in no way symmetrical cases. The sockpuppetry by Herschel/Weed shows sufficient bad faith to make me prefer an asymmetrical injunction. Note also adding LaRouche mentions to unrelated articles.

[edit] Sockpuppets

1) The use of sockpuppet accounts, while not generally forbidden, is discouraged. Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, such as using them to evade blocks and bans, make personal attacks or reverts, or vandalize, is strictly forbidden.

[edit] Herschelkrustofsky banned

Despite involvement in 3 arbitrations, two of which found and prohibited continued advocacy, Herschelkrustofsky (talk contribs) has continued to violate his arbitration remedies, continued advocacy, continued edit warring, and continued incivility and assmptions of bad faith (see for example [5]). The background for the most recent ban is at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive91#HK_enforcement. Accordingly, I propose that Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche 2 be modified to include the following remedy:

(The above is not part of the actual remedy, as it was the preamble to this motion to add the remedy.)

8) For violations of his parole, and continued disruption by advocacy, edit warring, incivility, and assumptions of bad faith, Herschelkrustofsky (talk contribs) is banned from editing Wikipedia for one year.

[edit] Herschelkrustofsky sockpuppets

1) If Herschelkrustofsky is discovered to have created or edited using any other account, or has edited anonymously, that account shall be blocked indefinitely and Herschelkrustofsky shall be banned for up to one week. The IP should be blocked with due caution as to whether it is a dynamic IP or ISP proxy likely to have many users.

[edit] Ban enforcement

2) If, in the judgement of any administrator, Herschelkrustofsky or any user who is considered a sockpuppet of Hershelkrustofsky edits any article which relates to Lyndon LaRouche or inserts material which relates to Lyndon LaRouche into any other article he may be banned for up to one week. Any ban shall reset the one-year ban on editing LaRouche related articles and the ban on inserting LaRouche material into unrelated articles. A one-week ban may be imposed for use of a sockpuppet for any purpose; such a ban shall reset both bans.
