Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PoolGuy/Proposed decision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop 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.
  • 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 she/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, 0 Arbitrators are recused and 4 are inactive, so 6 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.

Place those on /Workshop.

[edit] Proposed temporary injunctions

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

[edit] Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point

1) As pointed out at Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose, there are unanticipated things a user can do which are disruptive. Such disruptive patterns are covered broadly by Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point.

[edit] Disruptive effect of multiple sockpuppets

2) The multiple user accounts created by PoolGuy have proved disruptive, drawing negative attention, especially from Nlu (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves • rights).

[edit] PoolGuy placed on Probation

2) PoolGuy is placed indefinitely on Probation. He may be banned by any administrator from any article which he disrupts by disruptive editing. All bans are to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PoolGuy#Log of blocks and bans.

# Does this apply to an account created under 1? If not, this is inconsistent with previous user-not-account decisions; if so, making the account undisclosed doesn't make sense. Sam Korn (smoddy) 21:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I would think it would apply to a user, not the account, yes.. I would also think that a request on RFCU "of hey, is this PoolGuy; he's acting like it" would be accepted for the purposes of enforcement. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 03:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed enforcement

[edit] Enforcement by block

1) Should PoolGuy continue his past pattern of creating multiple user accounts he may be blocked until he abandons the pattern of creating multiple accounts.

[edit] Discussion by Arbitrators

[edit] General

Exactly how this started and who is right or wrong is irrelevant. It just needs to stop. NO MORE BEANS IN YOUR NOSE! Fred Bauder 14:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[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.

[edit] Vote

Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first motion is normally the fastest a case will close.

  1. Everything passes, nothing more needed. James F. (talk) 19:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
