Use of the POV tag
6) Template:POV is properly used in support of NPOV. Use of the tag by a user who is attempting to impose a point of view on an article or suppress an opposing point of view is improper. Such improper use renders Category:NPOV disputes less useful as includes articles within it regarding which there is not an authentic NPOV dispute, but an assault on NPOV.


 * Comment by Arbitrators:

Assume good faith

Aggressive point of view editing by 8bitJake
1) has edited aggressively with respect to articles regarding American political figures, , , , , , , , , , , , and. His aggressive initiatives were opposed by who generally engaged in reasoned argument, , , , , , , , , and. also contested 8bitJake's point of view editing in a reasoned manner, referring 8bitJake to relevant policies, , , , and. In June, 2006 62.77.181.16 and Bazzajf, apparent sockpuppets of 8bitJake appeared, , , and bogus FAC template. Examples are from Talk:Henry M. Jackson where 8bitJake contests any mention of Jackson as a forerunner and inspiration of the neocons.

 * The IP is probably a sock of Bazzajf (see Suspected_sock_puppets/Bazzajf), but Bazzajf and 8bitJake are almost definitely not the same person. -- Jonel | Speak 23:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Checkuser establishes the ip. Please explain the Irish address. Fred Bauder 23:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Checkuser establishes which IP? Bazzajf and the IP, or Jake and the IP?  I'm reasonably sure there's meatpuppetry, perhaps due to a shared interest at Jeb Bush, but that's more speculation than I'm willing to partake in, and I don't know of the IP being a proxy. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Bazzajf and the IP Fred Bauder 03:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

8bitJake violations of 3RR

Misunderstanding of NPOV and misuse of POV tag
5) There is evidence that 8bitJake misunderstands Neutral point of view as permitting removal of information which in his opinion is negative . He also inserted Template:POV into an article when his objection was that a point of view he opposed was included in the article  an outside comment. After extensive discussion the tag was removed; 8bitJake reinserted it . Another outside view

Personal attacks by Bazzajf
9) (, a possible sockpuppet or meatpuppet of 8bitJake, has engaged in personal attacks.


 * Comment by Arbitrators:
 * Proposed Fred Bauder 19:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Intense interest by someone "Irish" in Scoop Jackson is a bit unusual. Fred Bauder 19:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment by parties:
 * Bazzajf and the IP both operate from the same area of Ireland, and are admitted sockpuppets. 8BJ is almost certainly from Washington State, via off-wiki evidence but no clear on-wiki that I'm aware of, so the chances of them being sockpuppets is low.  Meatpuppetry is certainly a possibility, however. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * On-wiki point toward Washington as well. There are a few others I've seen where 8bit has made reference to his involvement in Young Democrats, which is definitely not a Irish society, and meeting various Washington politicians. --Bobblehead 06:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Failure to assume good faith
11) 8bitJake has failed to assume good faith on the part of other users. This is seen at Talk:Henry M. Jackson where he repeatedly accuses other editors of improper motives.
