Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Saladin1970 appeal/Proposed decision

Administrative privileges
1) Punative administrative actions are to follow Policies and guidelines. While the decision to apply a block is up to the individual administrator, the action should not violate existing policy. Ban Administrators who grossly violate policy risk losing their privileges.

Banning
2) The decision to ban a user can arise from four places, the Wikipedia community, the Arbitration Committee, Jimbo Wales and the Wikimedia board of trustees. The decision can not arise from one individual administrator unless there is a community consensus behind the decision.

Genuine comment - there's a typo or two in the "proposed final decision"
There's a missing word "is". But I don't wish to pass myself off as an arbitrator by making said change.

1) A user who grossly and repeatedly violates Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines may be banned indefinitely if there is a general community consensus that that there is little hope that they will ever edit productively Wikipedia:Ban#Decision to ban. The touchstone of an appropriate "ban by the community" is that there [IS] no administrator who after examining the matter is willing to lift or reduce the ban.

And there's a disconnect:

2) A user who engages in sustained aggressive biased editing may be banned from affected articles. In extreme cases from the entire site.

which should perhaps be:

2) A user who engages in sustained aggressive biased editing may be banned from affected articles, and in extreme cases from the entire site.

although that's just a matter of style of course...
