This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Werdnabot (talk | contribs) at 09:26, 9 October 2006 (Automated archival of 2 sections to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement/Archive2). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    This is a message board for coordinating and discussing enforcement of Arbitration Committee decisions. Administrators are needed to help enforce ArbCom decisions. Any user is welcome to request help here if it involves the violation of an ArbCom decision. Please make your comments concise. Administrators are less likely to pay attention to long diatribes.


    Are you sure this is the page you are looking for?

    This page only involves violations of final Arbitration Committee decisions.

    Enforcement

    Enforcement requests against users should be based on the principles and decisions in their Arbitration case.

    Please be aware that these pages aren't the place to bring disputes over content. Arbitration Committee decisions are generally about behavior, not content. Very few editors have content dispute prohibitions. Requests for Comments is still the best place to hash out content disputes.

    Most editors under ArbCom sanction are neither trolls nor vandals and should be treated with the same respect as any other editor. We should still Assume Good Faith. Arbitration Committee decisions are designed to be coercive, not punitive. Gaming the system at editors under ArbCom sanction is about as civilized as poking sticks at caged animals. Please do not post slurs of any kind on this page, and note that any messages that egregiously violate Wikipedia's civility or personal attacks policies will be paraphrased and, if reinserted, will be deleted.

    If an Arbitration case has not been finalized, it is not enforceable. In that case, bad behavior should be reported on WP:AN/I and you should consider adding the behavior to the /Evidence page of the Arbitration case.

    Note to administrators: Arbitration Committee decisions are the last stop of dispute resolution. ArbCom has already decided that certain types of behavior by these users is not constructive to our purpose of building an encyclopedia. If you participate on this page you should be prepared to mete out potentially long term bans and you should expect reactive behavior from those banned. The enforcement mechanisms listed in each individual case should be constructed liberally in order to protect Wikipedia and keep it running efficiently. Not all enforcement requests will show behavior restricted by ArbCom. It may, however, violate other Wikipedia policies and guidelines which you may use administrative discretion to deal with.

    Arthur Ellis

    • The remedies for the ArbComm decision concerning Warren Kinsella were that Arthur Ellis was banned from the Warren Kinsella and related pages, with the exception of the talk page for Mark Bourrie. He is also to limit himself to one account.
    IP blocked 24 hours, Arthur Ellis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) blocked for 12 hours, since he is involved in another open arbitration. Thatcher131 19:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, I was blocked for 24 hoursArthur Ellis 23:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I set the block on your username for 12 hours, partly because there have been so many IP addresses associated with you edits in the past. If you were blocked for the full 24 hours, it must have been due to the IP block. I'll update the block log at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Warren Kinsella to reflect what actually occurred. Even though my attempt to take it easy on you in view of the other open case failed, 24 hours was appropriate to the violation. Thatcher131 23:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I only use one IP, so a 24-hour IP block is a 24-hour user name block. Are you trying to entice me to use more than one IP? That just wouldn't be right! Arthur Ellis 02:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Tonycdp

    The Arbitration Committee has found User:Tonycdp conducting personal attacks against User:Asterion in Spanish (can be seen at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Kosovo/Workshop#Personal_attack_by_Tonycdp). He is being found disruptive by the ArbCom (User:Dmcdevit, User:Fred_Bauder, User:The_Epopt, User:Jayjg and User:Jdforrester) at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Kosovo/Proposed_decision#Tonycdp_is_disruptive. I will now quote the decision of the ArbCom that was approved by the ArbCom on 14 September 2006: For the duration of this case, any of the named parties may be banned by an uninvolved administrator from Kosovo or related pages for disruptive edits. Tonycdp is a party in the Arbitration over the Kosovo article (see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Kosovo#Involved_parties). He has made articles called Southern North Kosovo and West Kosovo and according to this diff disrupted the Wikipedia violating Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. I will now quote User:Consumed_Crustacean from User_talk:Tonycdp#WP:POINT: ..you may be placed on a ban from Kosovo and related articles while the arbitration case is underway. Consider that ban now active, thanks to these edits of yours. It will be lifted once the case is over, and whatever decision they make will take its place. If you create or edit any articles related to Kosovo, you will be blocked (by myself or another administrator) from editing the Wikipedia for some period of time. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 16:16, 29 September 2006 (UTC) He was thus banned from Kosovo-related articles on 29 September 2006 and the Arbitration on Kosovo still lasts. However, he violated the ban, editing Kosovo in 09:44, 3 October 2006. Then he edited Dardania (Europe) in 10:17, 3 October 2006 (which is a part of the History of Kosovo series). And then he edited Priština (capital city of Kosovo) in 10:20, 3 October 2006. I do not know if this can be applied to talk pages, but he has edited Talk:Kosovo in 09:51, 3 October 2006, 10:06, 3 October 2006, 10:26, 3 October 2006 and 15:40, 3 October 2006. According to the instructions of the administrator who banned him (User:Consumed_Crustacean) - he is to be blocked if he violates the ban, which he did. --PaxEquilibrium 19:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
