Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/List of Republics

Statement by uninvolved editor before the case opened

Comment by uninvolved Newyorkbrad

User:WHEELER is a consistently uncivil and tendentious editor with a lengthy history of disruption. Even a quick scan of his current talkpage unfolds an appalling display of abusive name-calling spewed in all directions. It appears that WHEELER has been carrying on with the same unacceptable pattern of behavior for years now, and frankly should have been dealt with much sooner.

The question for the arbitrators to answer here is not whether WHEELER can be allowed to continue editing as he has been, but whether a full-fledged arbitration case is required to address this situation or whether a quicker resolution can be found. Newyorkbrad 01:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't previously aware of the prior ArbCom decision cited by SimonP, which appears not to have made its way into the list at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Completed requests. Given that there are no actionable remedies in the prior decision, I don't think this changes the analysis. Newyorkbrad 14:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Uh..

Somehow the arbitrator's opinions on the matter did not get included. I would put them on, but I don't know if DM didn't include them for a reason or not. Kwsn^(Ni!) 21:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
