< Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration | FuelWagon v. Ed Poor

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 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 one is 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.

Origins of the Terri Schiavo dispute

edit

3) Following edits by SlimVirgin to Terri Schiavo, an edit war ensued, with FuelWagon and Slimvirgin being the primary participants. FuelWagon launched into a tirade of personal attacks [1], for which he was blocked by Ed Poor. FuelWagon later apologized to SlimVirgin [2] user:Neuroscientist then posted a long critique of SlimVirgin's edits [3]. The critique included many accurate criticisms of Slimvirgin's edit, but also included patronizing remarks directed at SlimVirgin [4] Ed Poor asked Neuroscientist to refrain from such comments [5], citing Wikipedia:Avoid personal remarks (the validity of which is debatable)

Ed Poor's subsequent block of FuelWagon

edit

4) While FuelWagon was blocked, Ed Poor moved a large section of FuelWagon's talk page to a /block subpage and then protected it, claiming (falsely) it contained personal attacks. [6][7][8] When confronted with this, Ed states that "I am frankly not sure I have any "right" to block other users at all, in situations such as you described above. Basically, I'm getting away with it because I've been around a long time" [9]
