After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties, and editors at /Workshop, arbitrators may make proposals which are ready for voting. Arbitrators will vote for or against each provision, or they may abstain. Only items which are supported by an absolute majority of the active, non-recused arbitrators will pass into the final decision. Conditional votes and abstentions will be denoted as such by the arbitrator, before or after their time-stamped signature. For example, an arbitrator can state that their support vote for one provision only applies if another provision fails to pass (these are denoted as "first" and "second choice" votes). Only arbitrators and clerks may edit this page, but non-arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

For this case there are 10 active arbitrators. 6 support or oppose votes are a majority.

Majority reference
Abstentions Support votes needed for majority
0 6
1–2 5
3–4 4

If observing editors notice any discrepancies between the arbitrators' tallies and the final decision or the #Implementation notes, you should post to the clerk talk page. Similarly, arbitrators may request clerk assistance via the same method, or via the clerks' mailing list.


Under no circumstances may this page be edited, except by members of the Arbitration Committee or the case Clerks. Please submit comment on the proposed decision to the talk page.

Proposed motions[edit]

Arbitrators may place proposed motions affecting the case in this section for voting. Typical motions might be to close or dismiss a case without a full decision (a reason should normally be given), or to add an additional party (although this can also be done without a formal motion as long as the new party is on notice of the case). Suggestions by the parties or other non-arbitrators for motions or other requests should be placed on the /Workshop page for consideration and discussion. Motions have the same majority for passage as the final decision.

Proposed temporary injunctions[edit]

A temporary injunction is a directive from the Arbitration Committee that parties to the case, or other editors notified of the injunction, do or refrain from doing something while the case is pending.

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 principles[edit]

Purpose of Wikipedia[edit]

1) The purpose of Wikipedia is to create a high-quality, free-content encyclopaedia in an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual respect among the contributors. Contributors whose actions are detrimental to that goal may be asked to refrain from them, even when these actions are undertaken in good faith; and when disruptive, those contributors may be sanctioned. Use of the site for other purposes—including, but not limited to, advocacy, propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle—is prohibited.

Decorum[edit]

2) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with other users; to approach even difficult situations in a dignified fashion and with a constructive and collaborative outlook; and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, disruptive point-making, and gaming the system, is prohibited.

Proposed copyedit (or I could offer it as an alternative) to first sentence: An editor must not accuse another of misbehavior without evidence, especially when the accusations are repeated or severe. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:25, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I like this more than the original, but can we add something that also highlights the "appropriate forum" part as well? T. Canens (talk) 21:45, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In my alternative, the second sentence would remain unchanged (unless someone else wants to tweak it). Newyorkbrad (talk) 03:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As I see it, the original first sentence applies to both 1) repeatedly bringing accusations without evidence and 2) repeatedly bringing accusation outside the appropriate forums, with or without evidence. The rewritten first sentence emphasizes 1) but doesn't cover 2). T. Canens (talk) 12:07, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Accusations without evidence[edit]

3.1) An editor must not accuse another of misbehavior without evidence, especially when the accusations are repeated or severe. If accusations must be made, they should be raised, with evidence, on the talk page of the editor they concern and/or in the appropriate forums.

Support
  1. First choice. NYB draft, per discussion above. I've re-written the second sentence as well (because it goes straight to DR forums and bypasses talk pages). Feel free to tweak it.  Roger Davies talk 08:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Copyedit to accommodate the opposes. Changed "initially on the talk page of the editor they concern and thereafter in the appropriate forums" to "on the talk page of the editor they concern and/or in the appropriate forums".  Roger Davies talk 06:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Raising grievances on a individual editor's talk page prior to pursuing more formal dispute resolution may be useful in certain circumstances, but it's not appropriate in every scenario, and should not be imposed as a blanket requirement. Kirill [talk] 08:39, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus building[edit]

4) Disagreements concerning article content are to be resolved by seeking to build consensus through the use of polite discussion, involving the wider community if necessary. The dispute resolution process is designed to assist consensus-building when normal talk page communication has not worked. When there is a good-faith dispute, editors are expected to participate in the consensus-building process and to carefully consider other editors' views, rather than simply edit-warring back-and-forth to competing versions. Sustained editorial conflict is not an appropriate method of resolving content disputes.

Sourcing[edit]

5) The verifiability policy is at the heart of one of the five pillars of Wikipedia and must be adhered to, through the use of reliable sources. Different types of sources (e.g. academic sources and news sources), as well as individual sources, need to be evaluated on their own merits. Differentiation between sources that meet the standard (e.g. different academic viewpoints, all of which are peer reviewed) is a matter for consensus among editors. When there is disagreement or uncertainty about the reliability of particular sources, editors are encouraged to seek broader input, for example by turning to the reliable sources noticeboard.

Talk pages[edit]

6) The purpose of a talk page is to provide a location for editors to discuss changes to the associated article or project page. Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views on a subject. Editors should aim to use talk pages effectively and must not misuse them through practices such as excessive repetition, monopolization, irrelevancy, advocacy, misrepresentation of others' comments, or personal attacks.

Neutral point of view and role of the Arbitration Committee[edit]

7) All Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, with all significant viewpoints that have been published in reliable sources fairly represented in proportion to prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources. While reasonable editors may, in good faith, disagree about the weight of particular viewpoints in reliable sources, it is not the role of the Arbitration Committee to settle such good-faith content disputes among editors. However, editors may not assign to a viewpoint a weight that is either so high or so low as to be outside the bounds of reasonableness; such actions violate the neutral point of view policy.

Comments:
In the drafting stages, some Arbitrators suggested attaching a line about this being in response to baiting and there being other mitigating circumstances.

Proposed enforcement[edit]

Standard Enforcement[edit]

0) Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked, initially for up to one month, and then with blocks increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. Appeals of blocks may be made to the imposing administrator, and thereafter to arbitration enforcement, or to the Arbitration Committee. All blocks shall be logged in the appropriate section of the main case page. (Default provision: adopted by motion on 4 June 2012.)

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.

Vote[edit]

Important: Please ask the case clerk to author the implementation notes before initiating a motion to close, so that the final decision is clear.

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. The Clerks will close the case either immediately, or 24 hours after the fourth net support vote has been cast, depending on whether the arbitrators have voted unanimously on the entirety of the case's proposed decision or not.

  1. Looks like we are done here. Everything is passing. T. Canens (talk) 21:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Agree that we're done. Courcelles 00:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Sorry to the clerk who has to figure out the mess that is P3 and P3.1. I think Tim is working on rounding up the preferences to see which we're going to pass (if not both). But yes, we are largely done. NW (Talk) 02:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
