all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

  • Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
  • Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
  • Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if she/he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

On this case, no Arbitrators are recused and 3 are inactive, so 6 votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Motions and requests by the parties[edit]

Place those on /Workshop.

Proposed temporary injunctions[edit]

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

    Except that we've done it before. James F. (talk) 19:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    We have certainly imposed restrictions against user behaviour at certain articles, but have we ever ruled that an article was of such low quality that it needed an Arbcom enforced drive to improve it? I note that the policy page in question, Wikipedia:Article probation, was created only moments before this vote.

Revised[edit]

7.1) Where user conduct issues seem to revolve around a single or small set of articles, and where there are a large number of editors involved, and those editors are not disruptive otherwise, it may make more sense to put the article or articles themselves on probation rather than individual editors. Administrators are empowered to block or ban editors from editing the article(s) for misconduct like edit warring, incivility, original research, or other disruption relating to the article on probation.

Discussion by Arbitrators[edit]

General[edit]

Motion to close[edit]

Implementation notes[edit]

Clerks and arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.

  • Principles: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.1, 8, 9 and 10 pass 7-0. All others fail.
  • Findings: 1, 4.1 and 6 pass 7-0. All others fail.
  • Remedies: 2.1 passes 7-0. 3 passes 6-0. All others fail.
  • Enforcement: 1 passes 6-0.

Vote[edit]

Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first motion is normally the fastest a case will close.
