Motion of remedies: Δ's automated editing
Proposed by on 17:36, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Editing restrictions superceded
Δ's existing community editing restrictions, as listed at Editing restrictions, are superceded by this motion.

Definition of restricted editing operations
For the purpose of remedies in this motion, a "script-assisted editing operation" is defined as any editing which has the appearance of being automated, either partially or fully, and is to be broadly construed.

Script-assisted editing operations must be approved
Δ is prohibited from applying any script-assisted editing operation across more than 25 articles within a single 7-day period unless:
 * 1) A clear statement of the editing actions performed by a script-assisted task is provided by Δ in advance of running the task beyond the above limit on a task list designated for the purpose at User:Δ/Script-assisted tasks;
 * 2) A Wikipedia administrator nominated by the Committee to supervise Δ's script-assisted edits has reviewed the task for which approval has been requested and:
 * i.) is satisfied that the task has been accurately described,
 * ii.) is satisfied that the technical implementation and operation of the script (in the case of scripts) or the process to be followed (in case of manual repetitive editing) is satisfactory,
 * iii.) is satisfied that the editing task, were it performed in the course of ordinary Wikipedia editing, is not contrary to community consensus; and
 * iv.) has indicated these findings against the task listing on User:Δ/Script-assisted tasks.

Explicit edit summaries required
Δ must use edit summaries when executing script-assisted task(s) permitted under these conditions that:
 * i.) link to User:Δ/Script-assisted tasks;
 * ii.) clearly and unambiguously specify which of the reviewed script(s) are in use during that edit.

Edits must be reviewed
(Carried over from prior community sanctions) Δ must manually, carefully, individually review the changed content of each edit before it is made. Such review requires checking the actual content that will be saved, and verifying that the changes have not created any problems that a careful editor would be expected to detect.

Community oversight
Δ must cease operating a particular script-assisted task if requested to do so by any Wikipedia administrator or by consensus of the Wikipedia community (as decided by an administrator closing applicable discussion(s) that may take place), and must suspend its use during active community discussion.

Limited edit rate
(Carried over from prior community sanctions) Δ must not average more than four edits per minute in any ten minute period of time under any circumstances.

Civility parole affirmed
(Carried over from prior community sanctions) Δ is placed under community enforced civility parole. If any edits are judged to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, he may be blocked by an uninvolved administrator. If not a blatant violation, discussion should take place on the appropriate noticeboard prior to blocking.

Administrative enforcement
In the event of violating the terms of these restrictions, Δ may be blocked by any administrator who deems that the terms of this motion have been violated. He may appeal these blocks in the usual manner provided in WP:BP.

Tristessa de St Ange nominated
User:Tristessa de St Ange is nominated as Δ's supervising administrator. She may be removed from this role at any time by the Arbitration Committee or by community consensus. Nomination of a replacement supervising administrator shall be at the Committee's discretion in this event.

Right of review
Δ may request a review of this motion after 6 months. The Committee may at that time to decide to suspend or revoke the restrictions specified in this motion, in whole or in part, if Δ has demonstrated compliance and community consensus for his editing during the period following their enaction.
