From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other Arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop, Arbitrators may place proposals which are ready for voting here. Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain. Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed. 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. Only Arbitrators or Clerks should edit this page; non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

For this case, there are 13 active Arbitrators of whom none are recused, so 7 votes are a majority.

[edit] Sockpuppetry

2) The use of sockpuppet accounts, while not generally forbidden, is discouraged. Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, such as using them to evade blocks, bans, and user accountability – and especially to make personal attacks or reverts, create false consensus, or vandalize – is strictly forbidden.

[edit] Conflict of interest

3) Editors at Wikipedia are expected to work towards NPOV in their editing activities. It is not possible to simultaneously pursue NPOV and an activist agenda. Editors who have exceptionally strong professional, political, or financial commitments to a particular point of view are asked to refrain from editing in affected subject areas. This is particularly true when the affected subject areas are controversial.

[edit] DPeterson

3) DPeterson (talk · contribs) created four sock puppets: MarkWood (talk · contribs), SamDavidson (talk · contribs), JonesRD (talk · contribs), and JohnsonRon (talk · contribs). They were used to edit war and to create the appearance of consensus, contravening the policy on sockpuppetry. The four sock puppets were blocked indefinitely after they were identified as such by checkusers Jayjg (talk · contribs) and Jpgordon (talk · contribs).

[edit] Discussion by Arbitrators

[edit] General

[edit] Motion to close

[edit] Implementation notes

Clerks and Arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.

• As of 04:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC),
  • Proposed principles 1, 2, and 3 pass; however, if 2.2 gains another vote it will supersede 2;
  • Proposed findings of fact 1, 2, and 3 pass;
  • Proposed remedies 1 and 2 pass. Newyorkbrad 04:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Principle 2.2 now adopted in lieu of 2. Newyorkbrad 23:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
