Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/DotSix

Note to those edit warring on this page
This page's name is "requests for arbitration". It is a record of the content that led to this AC case being accepted. Now this case has already been accepted. Nothing will change that. Edit warring over this page is pointless. Please stop. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 16:58, 28 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. If that's supposed to be the case, then something has gone wrong here. This page does not have quite the same format as the "DotSix" section of the RfAr page had before it was removed on Aug 15th. Moreover, nothing from that section was copied over to this page when this page was created that same day. I copied over some sections, but there is still a lot of material that was in the section that is not on this page. Also, this is the only page that contains sections identifying the parties to the dispute, so it does matter if Donald Alford (AKA DotSix AKA 67.182.157.6) is allowed to remove the section identifying him. --Nate Ladd 19:01, August 28, 2005 (UTC)


 * By the way it looks like a concensus of the committee has voted for the edit restrictions on Alford (= "DotSix"). Can you please implement that injunction now? --Nate Ladd 19:01, August 28, 2005 (UTC)


 * Nathan, the ArbCom know their way around here, so they will be able to see the vandalism that has occurred since arbitration commenced by looking at the diffs.


 * But I think there is a legitimate concern with regard to DotSix's identity. He has been blocked under his IP 67.182.157.6, but has made six edits since then using 172.198.185.228 . He is taking ArbCom for a ride. Banno 20:53, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've enacted the injunction. Sorry it took so long Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 22:03, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Even with the injunction, DotSix keeps editing outside of the ArbCom pages. I had unprotected on request all the articles he used to edit, and within minutes he was back to editing them in the same way he was before. After I protected the articles again, he started adding the same old comments on their talk pages, and also removed his section on WP:3RR. As of now, he has already used six AOL IPs. --cesarb 16:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

"sir"
Just as a note, Adrigo/DotSix has a tendency to ironically calling people "sir", really meaning despise. This unexplicit insult can be used as a way to spot him writing under an assumed name. Just in case that can be of use... Jules LT 07:24, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

History on the web
This individual has history in the alt.atheism google group of absolutely unceasing repetition of the same discredited ideas over and over, and of ignoring any and all attempts at influencing such antisocial behavior. This has been going on since 1999 under hundreds of different aliases. It is an historical certainty that the only solution for Wikipedia is going to be a permanent ban on editing any page from any IP address. Unfortunately, it seems this may take a one-person full-time effort (or equivalent), for the rest of the life of this individual (evidently one Donald Alford, age 65). --4.157.92.13 20:28, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Final decision
I'd like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the arbitration committee. Banno 07:46, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Me too :) Jules LT 13:42, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
