Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form:.

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

The Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies voting by Arbitrators takes place at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators may edit /Proposed decision.

Ruy Lopez reverts without discussion
Between 08:54, 26 September 2005 (UTC) and 03:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC), Ruy Lopez made the following reverts without any discussion at all on the talk page of Khmer Rouge:. Sept. 26 was the last time he made a comment on the talk before the series of reverts, and Dec. 6 was the first time he'd made a comment on the talk since the revert spree.

Afterwards, Ruy made several comments on the talk defending his actions, but then proceeded on another revert spree between 02:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC) -- the last time he commented on the talk before this spree -- and 21:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC):

During this period, he also made some questionable reverts on a number of other articles, none of which were accompanied by an explaining note either on the talk or on a user talk page:    (this previous one is especially questionable, as Ruy appears to be reverting to a vandalised revision)

As a result of these reverts, Ruy was blocked by on December 18:  Johnleemk | Talk 15:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
