Tenmei banned from contacting Caspian?

I was pushing for higher sanctions against Tenmei, but I don't contact him much and isn't much affected by him. Caspian Blue, on the other hand, seems to be constantly in contact and in conflict with Tenmei. I know this doesn't relate in the Tang Dynasty case, but since the case is almsot finished and this dispute hasn't been resolved in ANI, could you add a clause banning Tenmei from contacting Caspian Blue and Korea-related articles in general so these 2 editors don't conflict? thank you.Teeninvestor (talk) 21:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Location change (and reservations made) for DC meetup

I stopped by TGI Friday's this evening and was less than impressed. They apparently don't take reservations, except perhaps if you call 24 hours ahead of time. The staff was not so helpful, and the menu has hardly anything vegetarian which is an issue for some people.

So, I checked out the Bertucci's pizza/Italian place across the street (21st & I St NW). Their staff couldn't have been more helpful, and think it will be fairly quiet so we will be able to hear each other. So, reservations are made for Bertucci's at 5pm on Saturday. --Aude (talk) 02:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll be there! See you then. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Maps and directions are now posted on the meetup page. If you are coming from Union Station, you can either take metro (change trains at Metro Center). Or, what I probably would do is take the red Circulator bus ($1) [1] which goes directly from Union Station to Foggy Bottom (and Georgetown), and it passes by Bertucci's. I'm hesitant to take the metro train on weekends, because they often do maintenance work that causes delays. If you are coming from the Library of Congress area, then you could take the orange line from Capitol South station and not need to change lines. --Aude (talk) 12:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I dare say you think my amendment proposal is a bit innovative and perhaps hasty. But it's a quick way of solving a recurring localized problem without any drama or getting anyone in trouble. It's not necessary for this user to be blocked or handed broad restrictions for this, but it is necessary that ArbCom hand administrators the authority to issue restrictions specific to this behavioural pattern either just for Horlo (don't see why it'll stop otherwise) or in general. The editor is rude sometimes, but not enough that he'd get blocked for it, and doesn't spend enough time on wiki to edit-war over 3RR regularly. You can see though from the diffs it is slow drawn out nuisance behaviour (I gave just some recent examples, I can provide earlier parallels if it is useful). Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 01:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm sorry for troubling you on your personal page, but I wasn't able to find any information about how to respond to a Request for Arbitration against me.

Thank you, Horlo (talk) 07:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Horlo, yes, you just create a subsection on the arbitration page. Tell you what, I'll create it for you now, and you can just fill in your comments. Deacon, I'll comment further there once we have Horlo's statement. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

These were a couple I wanted to think about the wording of a bit more. (I've been voting in waves in these large multi-party cases, where the record to be reviewed is just too massive if I try to focus on all the evidence at once.) I will vote on the remaining paragraphs in the next day or two, although it's pretty obvious that absent my turning up something in the diffs, my remaining votes are unlikely to change the results. Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Okey dokey. Although your votes aren't likely to change the results, you often accompany your votes with insightful comments that are greatly appreciated by named parties. From my perspective, I am hoping your comment about the scope of my proposed editing restriction (Wikipedia-wide, instead of just within the Obama articles) might give something for other committee members to consider. -- Scjessey (talk)

Obama

Regarding this - [4] - which I did not know about until just now - I have not edited any Obama articles since probably more than 3 months ago. I put myself on an unofficial topic ban following the WND siege, which occurred the night of March 8 / morning of March 9, which is when all those citations occurred. I was removing propaganda being posted by sleeper accounts and IP addresses which had come to attack wikipedia after being urged to do so by an article in WND. I was so disgusted with the lack of support I got for trying to defend wikipedia, that I gave up on the Obama articles at that point. So putting me on an Obama topic ban, if that's what this is, is just fine. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 04:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I had been notified on April 14th [5] about the thread as being a "party" to it, as you indicate, but not that I was actually being complained about. So I never checked it out, and soon forgot about it, until I happened to run into it yesterday. No big deal. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 05:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

You won't consider an amendment giving admins discretionary powers on AE that limit the turgid edit-warring over these names? That's all I want. AE can't do anything based on current remedies.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner; I was away for the weekend.

Question about involved/uninvolved admins

Hi, and sorry to trouble you with this topic. Recently I filed a case on User:Deacon of Pndapetzim at AE [6] to basically established that he was not an "uninvolved" administrator for Eastern European disputes. It seems the same issue has arisen again in relation to the admin User:Piotrus and Baltics-related disputes (the case known as "Digwuren"). I'll freely admit here that since getting drawn into some of this drama I've put several editors talk pages on my watchlist. Recently, admin User:Jehochman posted this "warning" [7] on Piotrus' talk page, warning Piotrus "not to comment" and threatening to "ban him". A few edits later, perhaps realizing he's gone too far, Jehochman re-edited his comment to a friendly sounding piece of "advice" [8] (which to me looks like a mafia tactic of making a threat then quickly following it up with "but I'm just kidding, we're all friends here" for disclaimer purposes).

My question is - who gets to decide whether an admin is "involved" or "uninvolved" in these cases? By filing the Deacon case with AE I thought I was following formal Wiki procedures and guidelines and going through the appropriate channels - if an admin is "involved" there should be a statement to that affect made by either consensus or an AE ruling. However, here it seems like any admin can usurp the authority to declare another admin "involved" and threaten them with bans from the relevant discussions. This is beyond and above the fact that these kinds of threats assume bad faith and border on incivility. Once again, I apologize if this isn't the appropriate venue for my question - is this something that should be brought up at ANI? With the admins involved with AE? - but I still get lost in all the bureaucracy of Wikipedia. Thank you for your time.radek (talk) 22:30, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Mafia tactic? How about trying to make myself perfectly clear, but also wishing not to be overly blunt. Next time, please have the courtesy to notify me if you have a concern. NYB, this little vignette demonstrates why arbitration may be needed. Every issue spills over to multiple pages with multiple editors litigating ad nauseum. Enough is enough. Jehochman Talk 23:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
The difference between your original comment and the final version is quite striking and I don't know how else to explain it. Also please see further comments at Piotrus' page. There is still the basic issue: who and when gets to unilaterally decide, without any kind of formal case, which admin is and is not "involved" and consequently threaten them with bans.radek (talk) 07:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
These decisions are made same as all others, by WP:CONSENSUS. I think that both Piotrus and Deacon of Pnadpetzim are highly involved in EE disputes and that both must act as editors, not administrators. Jehochman Talk 15:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
I was asked by Radek to comment in this thread, so I hope Newyorkbrad will forgive my filling up his talk page with my ramblings on the question posed.

Generally, I don't think it would be helpful for the community to enter into the business of formulating rules to govern when an administrator is considered to be "involved" (in the sense used in arbitration decisions). Such formulation would almost certainly result in ruleslawyering by editors sanctioned at arbitration enforcement (AE) becoming commonplace. The phrase "broadly interpreted", used widely in the committee's decisions, comes to mind after considering your question: an editor can be sanctioned by an administrator considered to be, by broad interpretations, uninvolved in that subject area.

In the rare event that an administrator does sanction an editor despite being involved, the proper procedure would be so: an appeal (on the grounds that the sanctioning admin is involved in the subject area, or with the party/parties, concerned) would be filed at AE; then, a consensus amongst uninvolved administrators would be built as to whether that sysop is indeed involved (and, if so, whether that sysop should be reported to the arbitration committee for improper use of his permissions). If a positive consensus is established, the initial complaint would be revisited on procedural grounds—and the original result overturned, amended, or reaffirmed as necessary.

The thing is that it isn't "my version" but a version made agreed upon by 6 editors, which was unilaterally changed by a newly registered user whose only edits have been inserting this. I reverted to the consensus version three times, then warned and took it to ANI where I was given a block warning for editwarring - I simply don't know what I was supposed to have done differently.·Maunus·ƛ· 16:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
As best I can tell, what you describe as the consensus version seems to be standing up at this point. I'll take a look at the ANI thread and see if I have anything to add to it. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 18:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. It is true that one of the other editors who formed the consensus changed it back after our echange last night. And it was even after that that I was warned - six hours after my last edit to the article. ·Maunus·ƛ· 19:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Please delete user/disc pages; warn jayron/redpen/mufka

Hello nybrad, If you could please delete my page and page history, I'd be much obliged.

I requested speedy deletion on 1Apr for reason 1.6. jayron deleted it, then acted as if s/he did me a favour. I feel jayron shouldnt have been the one to delete it initially as s/he and I have negatively interacted in the past. Followups from jayron included an unneccesary block; followed by telling me to get a yahoo email so that I may contact wiki admins!

Wiki is all about anon editing : as such I didnt and wont get an email account in order to communicate as it is not required.

Since then jayron,redpen, mufka have been repeatedly editing my page. I blank my page they restore it. This has been happening since April, so for 3months now. I bet if I changed their pages they'd posting threats of "i'll report you" and/or "you will be banned". It is quite easy for me to get a new ip address but I dont think Ive done anything wrong, so I wont change my ip address.

If my pages needed to be restored /reverted, I definitely think those three arent the ones who should do it as they/I have a convoluted history.

If you could please delete my page and page history, I'd be much obliged.
If you could contact jayron, redpen, & mufka & ask that any problems they have they let an admin or arbitrator know, instread of making changes or posting to me. I'd like to edit wiki in peace Thanks. 173.79.58.33 (talk) 17:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
