The Report On Lengthy Litigation
- By Ral315, 27 February 2006
The Arbitration Committee closed three cases this week.
Sortan
A case brought against Sortan was closed on Saturday. As a result, Sortan was warned regarding Wikistalking Jguk. Jguk, the complaining witness, was banned from editing any page or article to change era notation, an extension of a provision in his November 2005 case. Both Jguk and Sortan were heavily involved in edit warring over era notation. Sortan left Wikipedia on 22 December 2005, shortly after the case was opened. Jguk went on a wikibreak on 5 February 2006.
Tommstein
A case brought against Tommstein was closed on Sunday. As a result, Tommstein's ban, imposed by administrator NicholasTurnbull, was endorsed by the Arbitration Committee. Additionally, Central was placed on probation and personal attack parole, and Duffer1 was warned regarding civility and edit warring. The dispute, which primarily involved articles relating to Jehovah's Witnesses, was marred by personal attacks and failure to assume good faith.
WebEx and Min Zhu
A case regarding the articles WebEx and Min Zhu was closed on Monday. As a result, both Larvatus and Henryuzi were banned from editing any articles relating to WebEx or Min Zhu and his daughter, and placed on probation. Additionally, FeloniousMonk was admonished not to use administrative tools and warnings in content disputes that he is involved in, and FCYTravis was admonished not to use the "rollback" button in content disputes. Both Larvatus and Henryuzi were involved in strong point of view editing on the articles.
