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 they so choose. 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, 9 Arbitrators are active and none are recused, so 5 votes are a majority.

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Ban for disruption
4) There is no hard-and-fast rule which prohibits those personally involved in a controversy from editing an article about it. However, such involvement in Wikipedia may be, if not handled with great discretion, extremely disruptive, especially if advocates of both sides of a controversy weigh in. In such cases participants in an external controversy may be banned from editing the affected articles.

 * Don't like special treatment of anon IPs. Banned editor language redundant, as is special purpose editor language. jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 15:30, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Already true in the case of banned editors (and SPAs may be banned per #2), and anonymous editors as a category if they don't fit either of those, don't deserve mistreatment. Dmcdevit·t 01:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Implementation notes
''Clerks and Arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.''

 All other proposals fail. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 17:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * With a majority of 5, it appears that all significant findings and remedies that have a chance of passing have passed.

Vote
