Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Deeceevoice/Proposed decision

all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.

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, seven new Arbitrators are assumed recused (Morven, Smoddy, Filiocht, Mackensen, SimonP, Dmcdevit, Charles Matthews ), and 8 longer-established arbitrators are active (Fred, Epopt, Jdforrester, Jayjg, Theresa, Neutrality, Mindspillage, Raul654), Charles Matthews has participated, thus unrecusing himself, making a total of 9 active arbitrators. So 5 votes is 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 /Workshop.

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.

 * Unnecessary with special:log Raul654 01:03, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * special:log is confusing, being a log of every user. We need one place concerning this user. Additionally it does not show bans or their basis. Good cause needs to be shown. Fred Bauder 15:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Changed my vote to support, per Fred's comment. Raul654 00:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Note

 * New arbitrator Charles Matthews is assumed to have unrecused himself. Possibly this increases the number of active arbitrators on this case.

General
I have focused on personal attacks as that is the most obvious and pressing problem. Should Deeceevoice moderate her behavior in that regard we can address any additional problems. Fred Bauder 15:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, an editor of value all that aside. Charles Matthews 10:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Motion to close
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.
