Statement by Nwwaew
Per this CheckUser, it appears Eyrian has either gone rogue or created sockpuppets. I hereby request that the Arbitration Committee desysop Eyrian immediately as an emergency measure to prevent vandalism.

Administrators
1) Administrators are trusted members of the community and are expected to follow Wikipedia policies. They are expected to pursue their duties to the best of their abilities. Occasional mistakes are entirely compatible with this; administrators are not expected to be perfect. However, consistently or egregiously poor judgement may result in the removal of administrator status.


 * Passed 8 to 0 at 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Decorum
2) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably and calmly in their interactions with other users, to keep their cool when editing, and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct—including, but not limited to, personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, and gaming the system—is prohibited.  Users should not respond to such behavior in kind; concerns regarding the actions of other users should be brought up in the appropriate forums.


 * Passed 8 to 0 at 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Responding to the Arbitration Committee
3) Editors are expected to respond reasonably and in good faith to questions and concerns raised by the Arbitration Committee.


 * Passed 8 to 0 at 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
4) The use of sockpuppet accounts, while not generally forbidden, is discouraged. Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, such as using them to evade blocks, bans, and user accountability—and especially to make personal attacks or reverts, or vandalize—is prohibited.


 * Passed 8 to 0 at 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Eyrian
1) has engaged in abusive sockpuppetry in an apparent attempt to game the system .  He has failed to offer any reasonable explanation for his actions.


 * Passed 8 to 0 at 17:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
