Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/ScienceApologist/Proposed decision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

all proposed

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.
  • 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 they 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 5 votes are a majority (9 active).

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Contents

[edit] Motions and requests by the parties

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] Suspected autobiographers

7) The appropriate place to bring attention to and discuss users who are suspected of editing articles about themselves or their activities is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. This may also occur on the talk pages of affected articles. There are circumstances where editing by such persons is appropriate, particularly on the talk page of articles about themselves. It is inappropriate to harass suspects by repeatedly accusing them in inappropriate ways or by reverting all their edits. Only if, after explanation and referral to Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, they continue to engage in inappropriate editing, should their editing be restricted. If all else fails, the dispute resolution procedure should be used.

[edit] Asmodeus is an aggressive and tendentious editor

[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.

With a majority of 5, all principles, findings and remedies pass except:

Finding 0.5) Subtext (1-0-4)
Finding 1) ScienceApologist is a prolific editor (1-0-5)
Remedy 5.1) FeloniousMonk counseled passes (6-0) in lieu of 5) FeloniousMonk counseled (2-2 excluding conditional votes)

[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.
