Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/CheeseDreams/Proposed decision

all proposed

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.
 * Only items that receive a majority aye vote will be enacted.
 * Items that receive a majority nay vote will be formally rejected.
 * Items that do not receive a majority aye or nay 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.
 * Items that receive a majority abstentions will need to go through an amendment process and be re-voted on once.

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

 * I think this is probably a better remedy than 3.0, but the wording seems rather tortured. What exactly does "the number of RFCs open that were started by Cheeseofdreams" mean? &rarr;Raul654 22:18, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * It means just that: the number of RFCs open that were initially opened by Cheesedreams. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 23:42, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)
 * sannse (talk) 17:47, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC) I think the concerns expressed in talk about extensions of admin power are valid. Anyone can open an RfC, if Cheesedreams can convince any eligible contributor to participate that should be enough. (I corrected the name above and elsewhere on this page) - also this is not supported by a FoF.

Disruptive tagging
4) For tagging over 50 articles with disupte headings [and other disruptive actions], CheeseDreams is banned for one week.

 * &rarr;Raul654 22:28, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC) - I'm a bit on the fence about this one. She's caused a lot of trouble on the christianity related articles, but I still hold out hope that she could be a useful contributor to them. And while some could argue that she could use the talk pages, realistically, that doesn't mean much.
 * sannse (talk) 17:47, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC) Agree with Raul.  Cheesedreams has contributed good edits, especially before things got so heated.  And Cheesedreams is not the only contributor to have been uncivil here. On further reflection, I think a ban is warranted for a while, but I would like Cheesedreams to have the opportunity to show her ability for cooperative editing (see below)

5) If Cheesedreams can demonstrate a pattern of editing with civility, and without serious conflict, for the next six months, she can apply for a lifting of the above ban on editing Christianity related articles.
