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 1 is inactive, so there are 13 of 14 arbitrators available, and 7 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

Place those on /Workshop.

Proposed temporary injunctions

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.

Proposed findings of fact

Locus and adversaries

1) The locus of the dispute is Superman and Batman and concerns the edits and interaction of T-man,_the_Wise_Scarecrow (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Dyslexic_agnostic (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Dyslexic agnostic feels he has a duty to correct T-man, the Wise Scarecrow [1]. T-man, the Wise Scarecrow has not appreciated the attention [2]

As such, while any administrators may enforce the ruling, the mentors should be seen as the primary enforcers, and other administrators are encouraged to communicate with them before taking actions. Additionally, the mentors are charged with monitoring and guiding T-man, and maintaining contact with him, as well as helping him to carry on productive communication with others towards the goal of successful collaboration.

Discussion by Arbitrators

General

A note to whomever closes this case: the Committee takes the mentorship remedy to supercede the banning remedy, up to and until either the mentorship breaks down or the mentors deem the ban necessary. Dmcdevit·t 09:35, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Motion to close

Implementation notes

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.

The following remedies apply with immediate effect:

6) T-man, the Wise Scarecrow placed under Mentorship
Mentors to be assigned
2) T-man, the Wise Scarecrow placed on personal attack parole
4) T-man, the Wise Scarecrow placed on Probation
3) Dyslexic Agnostic placed on personal attack parole
5) Dyslexic Agnostic placed on Probation

Should the mentorship fail, the following remedy shall be implemented:

1) T-man, the Wise Scarecrow banned for six months

Excuse me if I misplace this comment I'm making, it's juts that I find weird unanimity in some issues. Only Fred Bauder showed some deep analisis of the situation, try to look at it from my shoes. I mean, remember I'm not the one that got the administrators attention and it was really hard for me to understand the criteriao of the personal attack thing. It is important that to point that there is not wikipedia guide (or at least not a clear one) stating: "Personal attacks can't be done on articles or their talk pages, on your or other user's pages or talk pages. There is absolutely no place for personal attacks on wikipedia". You know what I mean? It might seem obvious to you with all your experteace, but to newbys like me, used to the kind of trashy characteristic talks on your regular internet forum, it is not that easy. I'd also like to point that I was the one saying I don't think DA acts in bad faith. I was trying to be open and explain myself, I feel realy unconftable about the way you let DA twist my own words and put them on a sensacionalistic perspective. I mean, according to myself, I was calling things by their name. Let's be honest, all parties on an arbitration case like this one are suspected of acting in bad faith, that's what is discused here whether users are acting in good faith or not. And I'm a party, the term itself implies that I'm up against another "party" involved. If I considere myself the victim (one that stands his ground, and doesn't take crap from anybody mean, even if I only did it through foolish choices from which I think I learned a lot), the other party's bad faith is implied. You have to place words in context, that's what this arbitration lacked of in my opinion. I'm very sorry, but I saw very few arbitrators getting deep into the case. Besides, why the insistence on blocking me for 6 months if I fail the mentorship. Actually I asked for it. What, the other party can fail parole? DA followed me during and after the arbitration and told me on mail he actually plans to keep doing it. I sent that mail already to NSLE and Shanel, following their advice I cut mail interaction with DA. I've been registering DA's monitoring on my talk page. I hope this word can help some how. I'm being honest and I hope you can find a way to help, advice and get me through this problem..--T-man... ""worst vandal ever"" 07:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vote

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.
