To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked from editing for a period of Indefinite for editwarring and harassment in violation of WP:TROUBLES, per the consensus of uninvolved administrators in this AE thread. Per WP:AC/DS you may appeal this ban the appropriate noticeboard (currently Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement), or directly to the Arbitration Committee. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks and follow the instructions there to appeal your block. Cailil  talk 13:35, 17 August 2012 (UTC)  Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."
