With regard to the "Fæ" case, I and MBisanz are not the only named parties. --Fæ (talk) 12:17, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The others mentioned were added near the end of the evidence phase. -- Lord Roem (talk) 23:21, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

The Perth case was opened in regards to the wheel warring -- the Move Review process didn't even really come up until I implemented the decision. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, a correction to the Falun Gong case - the decision won't be posted at least until the 8th, as other commitments and complications have prevented the drafters from being able to review the case in a timely manner.

 * All corrected, thanks guys :)  James ( Talk •  Contribs ) • 10:09am • 00:09, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks muchly. :-) -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The change in the description of the Perth case needs more changes actually. The Perth case is reviewing administrator conduct and actions (mainly in relation to a move request concerning the Perth article), but the case was opened following a wheel-war; the case is not limited to reviewing a wheel-war. Also, the move review process was brought up well-before SarekOfVulcan used his tools in the way that he did. Ncmvocalist (talk) 02:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Whoa Nelly! ArbCom is now attempting to de-sysop on their own initiative?  This looks like creeping arrogation of power.  While the non-hierarchical model Wikipedia has attempted to use is not without problems, it also has massive benefits.  The desire for structure and "leadership", evident from the earliest days, pulling in the contrary direction to the philosophy of the majority of early Wikipedians, may in the longer term prove the undoing of the community, the sacred tenet of open editing and the goal of delivering free knowledge.
