Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Race and politics/Proposed decision

Under no circumstances may this page be edited, except by members of the Arbitration Committee or the case Clerks. Please submit comment on the proposed decision to the |talk page.

Proposed motions
Arbitrators may place proposed motions affecting the case in this section for voting. Typical motions might be to close or dismiss a case without a full decision (a reason should normally be given), or to add an additional party (although this can also be done without a formal motion as long as the new party is on notice of the case). Suggestions by the parties or other non-arbitrators for motions or other requests should be placed on the /Workshop page for consideration and discussion. Motions have the same majority for passage as the final decision.

Motion for suspension and closure of case
1) In his evidence submission to this case, stated he is immediately retiring from editing Wikipedia:

Apostle12's conduct was a substantial part of the present arbitration case (Race and politics) and hearing this case in Apostle12's absence would serve no purpose. The committee therefore resolves that:
 * 1) The present arbitration case is suspended for two months (from the date this motion passes).
 * 2) If Apostle12 returns while this case is suspended, arbitration proceedings will resume.
 * 3) If Apostle12 does not return to editing before two months have elapsed: he will be indefinitely prohibited from editing any page relating to "race and politics", broadly construed; and this case will be un-suspended and closed.
 * 4) Apostle12 is directed to inform the Arbitration Committee if he returns to editing the English Wikipedia using any account.

Apostle12 (and all of his accounts, if he has created one or more others at that time) may be indefinitely blocked by any uninvolved administrator if he violates the prohibitions in points 3 or 4 of this motion.


 * Support:
 * Proposed. I would also extend my thanks to Apostle12 for stating outright that he is retiring. Should he indeed not wish to return at some point soon, then his advance warning will have allowed us to expend the least possible amount of community time on these proceedings, and to close these proceedings with a definitive result. Should he change his mind, then this motion will also allow us to pick up where we left off. AGK  [•] 21:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Abstain:
 * Am abstaining on this, as the reason I accepted the case was so that the committee could look at the conduct of all the editors involved in these disputes. That clearly isn't going to happen now, but one editor retiring doesn't necessarily resolve a dispute. If this topic area remains contentious, further dispute resolution may be needed, though possibly not at the level of arbitration. Carcharoth (talk) 23:58, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed temporary injunctions
A temporary injunction is a directive from the Arbitration Committee that parties to the case, or other editors notified of the injunction, do or refrain from doing something while the case is pending.

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.

Standard enforcement
0) Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked, initially for up to one month, and then with blocks increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. Appeals of blocks may be made to the imposing administrator, and thereafter to arbitration enforcement, or to the Arbitration Committee. All blocks shall be logged in the appropriate section of the main case page. (Default provision: adopted by motion on 4 June 2012.)

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.''


 * Proposals which pass
 * {Passing principles}
 * {Passing findings}
 * {Passing remedies}

 * {Failing remedies}
 * {Failing enforcement provisions}

Vote
Important: Please ask the case clerk to author the implementation notes before initiating a motion to close, so that the final decision is clear.

''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. The Clerks will close the case either immediately, or 24 hours after the fourth net support vote has been cast, depending on whether the arbitrators have voted unanimously on the entirety of the case's proposed decision or not.''
