Remedy one does not specify a period, 3 months, 6, a year, indef? -- Kim van der Linde at venus 06:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I interpret it as indefinite, though as with any penalty it can be lifted after an appeal to the ArbCom. - SimonP 22:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Disinterested query
When compiling the list of users on Probation I noticed that Guy Montag's probation is only on articles related to the Israeli/Palestine conflict, not a general probation. The proposed decision, as it stands, has him banned from these articles for a year, and the probation extended for a year. In effect this means the probation extension is overtaken by the topic ban. Is this correct? Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 22:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that's right. It is effectively moot. If he becomes disruptive outside we would consider extending it to full probation (note that "general probation" has been used as a different remedy, where the offender can be banned from Wikipedia, not articles, by administrators, so I think using "full probation" in this case is clearer).
