The Report On Lengthy Litigation
- By Ral315, 19 December 2005
The Arbitration Committee closed one case this week, brought against Rangerdude.
Rangerdude
A case against Rangerdude was closed on Sunday. As a result, Rangerdude has been placed on probation for one year. Both Rangerdude and Willcmw were admonished regarding their actions with respect to separate Wikipedians with their own articles. Those Wikipedians, Cberlet and Nskinsella, respectively, were cautioned to "avoid over-involvement" in their articles. Finally, Nskinsella was cautioned about making personal attacks. The Arbitration Committee found that Rangerdude had edited with "an aggressive" POV at times, and had been involved in disputes with Cberlet. Willcmw, meanwhile, had quarrelled with Nskinsella, making an inappropriate edit at least once. Nskinsella had in turn made personal attacks against Willmcw.
