Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/GreekWarrior/Evidence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anomalous_phenomenon&diff=5587219&oldid=5584644] [1].

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

The Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as Arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators may edit /Proposed decision.

[edit] Evidence presented by Tony Sidaway

[edit] GreekWarrior was given a "final warning" on 17 December, 2005

  • Your statements about Turks
    • Your recent statements about Turks ([2] , [3] and anything similar) are absolutely unacceptable on Wikipedia. I am removing them. Do not attempt to replace them. Do not repeat any similar inflammatory statements about any other person or group or nation of persons. This is a final warning. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GreekWarrior was blocked on 18 December, 2005

  • Block notice
    • As you repeated the same xenophobic rant, I have blocked you for a short time to show that I mean it. Because of the nature of the offence, I shall also have to protect your talk page from editing. You may email me at minorityreport@bluebottle.com --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GreekWarrior's talk page was also protected and a notification was made on WP:AN

  • User:GreekWarrior
    • With some regret, I have blocked GreekWarrior (talk · contribs) for twelve hours and protected his user talk page from edits for the duration of the block. The issue concerns that editor's repeated replacing of a xenophobic rant on his talk page, despite clear warnings [4] [5]. The same editor had previously made an edit on Talk:Turkish_Republic_of_Northern_Cyprus titled "Why I enjoy Murdering Turks" [6]. However he is otherwise a good editor. I hope he will recognise that, of all his statements on Wikipedia, those alone are unsuitable. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:39, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] GreekWarrior was blocked for fourteen days on 27 December

[edit] GreekWarrior was blocked for forty-eight hours on 28 January, 2006

  • Blocked for forty-eight hours
    • I have reviewed your recent edits on Wikipedia, particularly your blanking of valid AfD attempts, your vandalism of articles, and your inflammatory attacks on non-Christian editors. You are blocked for forty-eight hours in the first instance while I and other administrators review your case and decide what to do. You may follow the case on WP:AN and respond here or in email to minorityreport@bluebottle.com. Be civil or, as before, this page will be protected and you will have to proceed in email. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] After discussion on WP:AN, GreekWarrior was blocked for six months

  • Discussion
  • Six months block for serious disruption
    • I've spent some twenty-four hours deliberating over what to do about your behavior, given evidence and heard comments from about half a dozen editors. Not one of them failed to express grave concern about your behavior. You are being blocked because of:
      • Frequent expressions racism and religious bigotry delivered in a manner clearly calculated to offend
      • Vandalism
      • Blanking an AfD
      • Failure to respond to blocks by modifying your behavior. You just pick up where you left off. No sign of improvement.
      • When blocked for bigoted attacks, you continued to use your talk page for such bigoted statements until this was protected.
    • Come back in six months time prepared to uphold "No personal attacks", "Civility", and "Neutral point of view" and you'll be accepted, without question, as a Wikipedian. Your personal beliefs are your own affair but while using Wikipedia resources you will treat all men and women at all times as your brothers and sisters. In return your right to edit free from molestation will be upheld.
    • Meditate on this and, if you have a change of heart meanwhile, email an administrator, citing these words and the preceding paragraph, and referring to WP:AN of January 28, and if you accept the terms of Wikipedia then you will be unblocked and welcomed. It is not you that we spurn, but your damaging behavior which has harmed Wikipedia.
    • This is not a punishment. We would do the same if someone acted towards you as you have acted towards other Wikipedians. We must take into account the need of us all to work together. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:44, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {Write your assertion here}

Place argument and diffs which support the second assertion; for example, your second assertion might be "So-and-so makes personal attacks", which should be the title of this section. Here you would show specific edits where So-and-so made personal attacks.

[edit] GreekWarrior has demonstrated intolerance of non-Turks as well

GreekWarrior seems to have something against atheism as well as Turks, although perhaps not to the same degree. "Atheists are proud of their hate. It is something that they love devoutly and use it to hate christians." [7]. Powers T 00:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evidence presented by GreekWarrior

[edit] Articles Created

[edit] Articles Helped out with

  • Culture of Greece (Massive Expansion).
  • History of Greece (Big Expansion).
  • Byzantine Literature (Moderate Expansion w/ adding of relevant Images).
  • Byzantine Culture Template.
  • History of Greece Template.
  • Many, many others, most probably around 1000+ good edits in my estimations over my year of being here, including Video Games, History and Religion.

[edit] My Assertion

Generally, I can't really have anything substantial to say in my defense to the charges levelled against me. This would be pointless, as I was clearly wrong on these occasions, so I will simply leave it at that.

[edit] Suspected ban evasion through DigenisAkritas

DigenisAkritas (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) is a new account created on 24 October, showing an editing profile very similar to that of GreekWarrior. The account is named after the prototypical "Greek Warrior" Digenis Akritas, also evoking the Cypriot EOKA fighter Georgios "Digenis" Grivas. Both fits with GreekWarrior's aggressive Cypriot Greek nationalism. DigenisAkritas has nationalist / European-supremacist slogans on his userpage, including the highly offensive Nazi code formula 14/88 ([8]), fitting in with GreekWarrior's known right-wing opinions. Like GreekWarrior, DigenisAkritas edits on (seemingly politically neutral) topics about Greek culture, including Culture of Greece and Talk:Byzantine law ([9]) (the latter being a niche topic that very few users have ever been interested in, but which GreekWarrior used to edit under 86.140.42.67 (talk · contribs)).

[edit] DigenisAkritas is editing disruptively

On Talk:Pontic Greek Genocide, currently a field of contention between several Greek and Turkish users, DigenisAkritas openly threatened meatpuppeting campaigns outside Wikipedia to influence a poll. [10] (contrary to WP:SOCK#Meatpuppets). He was also again using the Nazi formula "14/88". Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Threaded comment by GreekWarrior (86.133.190.105) moved to discussion page. Please see discussion for possible extenuating evidence. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
