Motion: Carl Hewitt unbanned with restrictions

[edit]

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

In a 2005 arbitration case, User:CarlHewitt - who is the noted computer scientist of that name - was banned from editing content about himself or his own work (Remedy 1) and was placed on probation (Remedy 2). Following the case, he was found to have engaged in repeated sockpuppetry in violation of those restrictions and was indefinitely blocked in 2009.

Remedy 2 of the Carl Hewitt case is rescinded and his indefinite block is lifted. Carl Hewitt is permitted to edit under the following conditions:

  1. He is restricted to a single account, User:Prof. Carl Hewitt.
  2. He may not edit logged out. Accidental logged-out edits should be reported promptly to the oversight team.
  3. He is permitted to edit only the following:
    1. article talk pages
    2. user talk pages
    3. his own userspace
    4. project discussions and dispute resolution pages specifically concerning him.
    The purpose of this provision is to allow him to make suggestions on the talk pages of his own BLP (Carl Hewitt) and the talk pages of articles about his work. Suggestions should be polite and brief and should not be repetitively reposted if they do not find consensus.
  4. He is reminded that Remedy 1 of the Carl Hewitt case remains in force.
  5. He may not engage in personal attacks or make personal comments about other editors.

Violations of any of the above may be managed by blocks as arbitration enforcement actions. Disruptive or tendentious contributions by IP users to the articles or talk pages related to Prof. Hewitt may be managed by blocks and/or protection as needed, and editors are encouraged not to engage in conversation with such users. The standard provisions for enforcement and appeals and modifications applies to sanctions enforcing this decision, all sanctions are to be logged on the case page.
