Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Zen-master/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 "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, no Arbitrators are recused and 5 are inactive, so 4 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] Personal attacks by Zen-master

1) Zen-master (talk • contribs) has made a number of personal attacks on the other editors of race and intelligence, been discourteous and has assumed bad faith on their part [1] [2] [3]. He also attacks books and scholars which deal with the subject matter such as The Bell Curve [4].

  1. Those links prove nothing. Zen-master has argued forcefully and reasonable for his position, using links and statements of fact. He may be aggressive, but I see little to support this finding. Neutralitytalk 03:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disruptive edits

2. Zen-master (talk • contribs) has edited race and intelligence in a disruptive manner both in the article itself and on related pages such as Talk:Race and intelligence [5]. While he complains regarding improper framing of the article, he cites references which frame the subject in terms of a struggle between "Fascism" and "Communism" [6].
