Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/-Ril-/Proposed decision

all proposed

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.
 * Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
 * Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
 * Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

On this case, 2 Arbitrators is/are recused (Mindspillage, Karynn) and 3 (Sannse David Gerard, Fennec) is/are inactive, so 4 votes are a majority.

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.
 * For all items:

Motions and requests by the parties
Place those on the discussion page.

Proposed temporary injunctions
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.

Temporary ban on editing 2
1.01) Taking into consideration the basis for the, now lifted, indefinite block of -Ril- by UninvitedCompany with broad community support, see User talk:-Ril-/ban, an event which occurred following rejection of the rejected proposal 1) above, -Ril- is banned pending resolution of this matter from editing any page other then his own user pages and the pages of this arbitration.

Alternative temporary ban on editing
1.1) For the duration of this case, -Ril- is not to remove others' comments from talk pages at all excepting his own talk page.


 * Support:
 * Fred Bauder 14:33, August 14, 2005 (UTC) (second choice)
 * David Gerard 15:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC) Yep. Note that we will expand this if needed. I would also ask -Ril- to please try harder to be civil in interacting with others, even if you think they really don't deserve it.
