:::: Repeating myself a little, if you'll forgive me: The preventative aspect is that a block makes it more probable that we'll prevent GoodDay's next steps in his pattern of testing limits; warnings aren't cutting it, an ArbCom finding didn't fully do it.

GoodDay knew what the likely result would be when he posted on his talk page (that another editor would likely edit something he is banned from editing) so even if we take at face value GoodDay's assertion that he didn't know his talk page was covered by the ban, it's still a clear violation of the spirit of the ban (in addition to being part of his pattern of testing limits).

*I'm seeing a clear consensus here for a 1 week block, with which I concur, and which is how will now close this. The arb com topic ban was for "anywhere on the English Wikipedia", which follows from the purpose of such topic bans, which is to encourage editors to disengage ''entirely'' from the topic at hand. Perhaps GoodDay truly didn't understand the extent of the topic ban at first- as such I'd have been inclined to give a final warning as a couple of the administrators who first commented suggested. But instead of recognizing the infringement when the very clear language of the arbcom decision was pointed out, GoodDay has continued to protest about being "gagged" and "censorship". This is a very clear sign that this block is indeed preventive. --[[User:Slp1|Slp1]] ([[User talk:Slp1|talk]]) 23:33, 30 June 2012 (UTC) |

Request concerning Raeky
User seems to have a deep problem with reliable sourcing policy, including use of primaries, use of inappropriate sources, misweighting of unrepresentative sources, and citation policy. Events arose out of an existing RS/N report which was subsequently identified as a major sourcing problem by the RS/N community due to the hundreds of links in article space.
Discussion concerning RaekyStatement by Raeky
Comments by others about the request concerning RaekyAiG is not the publisher of Technical Journal and its hosting of contents is an apparent copyright violation. Technical Journal is a fringe christian apologetics journal, lacking any indication of weight in the fringe apologetics community, and lacking any indication of editorial review within its own limited fringe community. Fifelfoo (talk) 04:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC) Moreover, in this instance, Technical Journal had two copyright violating links replaced with citations, and one claim "The Christian apologetics site Answers in Genesis, for example, makes frequent appeals to concepts from information theory in its objections to evolution and affirmations of the Genesis account of Creation; "[I]t should be clear that a rigorous application of the science of information is devastating to materialistic philosophy in the guise of evolution, and strongly supportive of Genesis creation."" that manifestly cannot be attached to Technical Journal as Technical Journal is not an organ of Answers in Genesis, removed. The source was retained as it supported a general point regarding fringe community views. Fifelfoo (talk) 04:08, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Comments by uninvolved Paul SiebertBrief analysis demonstrates that the source used by raekyt is hardly reliable, and definitely is not mainstream. Technical Journal is not in the Thompson-Reuter ISI list. A part of text added by this user is a verbatim quote from the web site he cites. That seems to comply with our WP:NFCC rules.

Request concerning GDallimore
[3] User:Fifelfoo removes a suspected copyright violation by Answers in Genesis from Creation ministries international's magazine . The copyright violation is the large scale copying of Creation ministries magazine without copyright acknowledgement. It is being cleaned as part of this large scale cleanup: Wikipedia:RSN#Current_large_scale_clean-up_efforts of copyright violations and reliable source misuse. Since it is a suspected copyright violation it should not be linked to from wikipedia per WP:C. User:GDallimore restores the text several times [4][5][6], despite being told 1.considering the large scale copying of the magazine it is unlikely the text can reliably represent their views. 2. The text is a copyright violation and can not be linked to on wikipedia for legal reasons per WP:C, Diff [7]User_talk:GDallimore#Copyright_violations.
User_talk:GDallimore#Copyright_violations
Discussion concerning GDallimoreStatement by GDallimoreThis is a situation of a small number of users making large scale edits without consensus. There is no consensus that the links involved are infringing copyright. The reason there is no consensus is because there is no evidence that the links involved are infringing copyright. Someone posting something on their website and identifying it as being previously published in a magazine is, to the contary, evidence of good practice by the website. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some edits being made as part of this large scale clean up of AiG links which were good and much needed. I have not reverted edits to Young Earth Creationism, for example, where I thought the edits were constructive even when I disagreed with much of the underlying reasoning. But making edits without consensus which do NOT improve the article is not acceptable practice. GDallimore (Talk) 15:03, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Statement by User:Raeky
Statement by User:Dominus VobisduI'm not convinced that there is any copyright infringement going on here. Answers in Genesis and Ceation Ministries Internation split in 2006, and yes, there were legal wranglings over copyright issues. However, those were resolved in 2009. [[11]] I find it implausible that Answers in Genesis is using CMI material without the requisite permission in violation of the settlement. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 01:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Statement by User:FifelfooAs in the case above related to this matter, I believe an official warning under this sanction's discretionary sanctions is the most required. We cannot presume that AiG holds a licence for anything published by another organisation, we need to rely on documentation from either or both organisations that meets an adequate standard of reliability demonstrating that AiG holds such a licence; the presumption holds against due to the horrors attendant upon copyright violation. Further, publications by another body and duplicated in a horrifically inept manner on AiG's website do not represent the opinions of AiG. AiG publishes two rags, Answers and Answers research journal that specifically represent their opinion. In addition AiG publishes a variety of content on their website which isn't in breach of copyright and which appears to have originated with AiG themselves—this is appropriate content to attributing the Self-Published Sources "self" opinion. Finally, many if not all of these problems would have been solved if editors working in this FRINGE area had correctly cited material in the first place. Citing Technical Journal would have lead editors to Technical Journal's actual archive to locate the volume, date and issue information—full citations tend to expose many of the issues that raw links do not expose. For one, it would make editors consider if "Jeff Bloggs" or "Jane Doe" actually represents the opinion of AiG when writing, or if they merely represent their own opinion published by AiG (for instance, by checking AiG's speaker's list or staff list). It is reasonable that inexperienced editors make these mistakes in a complex area like FRINGE editing, it is less reasonable when they revert content they appear to be unfamiliar with over policies they're unfamiliar with. Such conduct merits counselling and improved editing skills assistance. It certainly isn't at a disciplinary stage above a warning to indicate that this is a problematic form of editing in an area where problematic editing has systematically disrupted the encyclopaedia.

VartanM has been placed on indef 1RR and was previously blocked for edit warring and incivility. I find his recent comment at AFD discussion to be very incivil and insulting towards editors from Azerbaijan. In addition, I do not find this comment from another editor at the same board to be particularly civil either: [12] ARBAA2 made a specific provision for courtesy: [13]. I would like to ask for the admin attention to this issue. Grandmaster 06:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Attention: This request may be declined without further action if insufficient or unclear information is provided in the "Request" section below.
Request concerning GoodDay
- User who is submitting this request for enforcement
- — Richwales 21:13, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- User against whom enforcement is requested
- GoodDay (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Sanction or remedy to be enforced
- Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GoodDay#GoodDay topic-banned from diacritics
- Diffs of edits that violate this sanction or remedy, and an explanation how these edits violate it
- 27 June 2012 This edit (by HandsomeFella) removed diacritics from several players' names.
- 27 June 2012 Although the above edit was performed by HandsomeFella (talk · contribs), this exchange on GoodDay's talk page
strongly suggests that the editing was done in collaboration with GoodDay, in order to sidestep the topic ban.raises reasonable questions as to whether GoodDay's comment may (either negligently or by design) have had the effect of prompting others to perform editing of a sort which GoodDay is clearly banned from performing on his own.
- Diffs of notifications or of prior warnings against the conduct objected to (if required)
- 27 June 2012 Notified GoodDay.
- Additional comments by editor filing complaint
Although HandsomeFella's edit changed several wikilinked names of individuals to non-diacritic versions (hence my complaint), I also note that HandsomeFella spoke disapprovingly of GoodDay in the recent ArbCom case (see here). There seems to be a contradiction here, and I don't claim to have a good explanation for it. I still believe that the exchange between HandsomeFella and GoodDay (on GoodDay's talk page), in conjunction with HandsomeFella's edit, raises reasonable questions as to what might have been going on, and at the very least, it is not out of order to ask for an explanation. — Richwales 22:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
HandsomeFella's editing of the names in question could also have been influenced by WP:HOCKEY, which in its current form says that North American hockey pages should generally not use diacritics in player names. This statement, as best I can tell, was added in June 2007 by GoodDay — apparently after some discussion which I was not able to locate just now. I suppose WP:HOCKEY's diacritics guidelines might (or might not) need to be revisited in light of the ArbCom ruling. — Richwales 23:24, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is in progress on GoodDay's talk page regarding the interpretation of his topic ban. — Richwales 01:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Discussion concerning GoodDay
Statement by GoodDay
At my Userpage, I posted my discouragement over the lack of maintanence by WP:HOCKEY, concerning 2 articles Nashville Predators, Los Angeles Kings & diacritics. I wasn't aware that I was censored from my Userpage, concerning this topic. GoodDay (talk) 03:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I still disagree with being barred from mentioning certain topics on my pages, but I will refrain from mentioning them in future. As for those editors who are calling for my indef-block? You've (plural) strenghtened my resolve to never retire from Wikipedia. No matter how sharp your (plural) daggers become, I won't quit. GoodDay (talk) 13:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Comments by others about the request concerning GoodDay
This is the very definition of frivolity. ✝DBD 22:52, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- It is also a violation of his arbitration mandated topic ban. I think HandsomeFella made the edits in good faith and of his own accord (e.g.: without formal cooperation), but GoodDay started that topic knowing that it violated his topic ban, and likely in the hopes that someone would do his work for him by proxy. He's poking around the edges and seeing how far he can push things. Not frivolous at all, imo. Resolute 23:20, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- It is a draconian attempt to hound GoodDay. He merely made a comment on his own talk page and he was leapt upon by Wikipedia "dickers" (slang word for watchers). This place is getting more Orwellian by the minute.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 08:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
The ban says " or participating in any discussions about the same, anywhere on the English Wikipedia." his edit in his talk page is practically begging for other people to make the changes on his behalf. He even says which articles need to be changed. --Enric Naval (talk) 09:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am involved as I am part of the diacritic debate. In fact I don't agree with the "hockey compromise" BUT there appears consensus for it. Together with the other comments made above there was no proxy editing evident. As far as the talkpage comment is concerned I have three observations. a) Technically a violation of the wording b) No violation of the intend - reduction of conflict/drama as I don't think anybody would be so stupid to actually do any real proxy editing c) The comment made by GoodDay did in no way attack any current understanding of consensus. Agathoclea (talk) 09:45, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have been involved in the diacritic debate. This is not just a technical violation of his ban. Clearly, it is a request for his TPSs to check those named articles and remove any diacritics appearing there. Diacritics is just one of the areas of Wikipedia that GoodDay has now been prevented from disupting, but obviously he is attempting to circumvent the topic ban by having others do his 'work' for him. He has broken both the letter and the spirit of his ban. And, btw, proxy editing did take place - request posted 19:26, edits made by 20:34 - for which that editor tells GoodDay the problem has been fixed, and was then thanked by GoodDay. Daicaregos (talk) 11:24, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- This was quite clearly an attempt to get his talk page watchers to make the changes for him. Clearly in violation of his ban. It is also a disruptive comment in and of itself of the type he was asked not to do in his RfC prior to his arb case. He knew better and he was trying to push the edges to see how much he could get away with. -DJSasso (talk) 11:41, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Most of the alleged "crime" attributed to GoodDay above is unprovable, and in my mind frivolous. He cannot be blamed for the actions of another editor in this case, period. It was a small technical violation only. But now that it has been established that comments made by GoodDay on his Talk page can lead to actions elsewhere on the 'pedia, I expect that *in future* he will need to understand that he may be held accountable for the actions for other editors. But for this case, no action. --HighKing (talk) 12:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- It isn't unprovable that he discussed diacritics which he was banned from discussing anywhere on the wiki. That is the violation here which he quite clearly broke. That he proxied of course isn't provable and I don't believe he did do that since the other editor was one of his critics. However he did discuss them and that is a direct violation of his ban. The fact that he did it so soon after his case is quite remarkably ridiculous imho. -DJSasso (talk) 12:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm with HighKing. — JonCॐ 14:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- You think it's unprovable that he discussed diacritics, which he was banned from discussing anywhere on the wiki? It has certainly been established that GoodDay may be held accountable for the actions for other editors, following comments made by him on his Talk page. However, he must prevented from discussing on his talk page those topics that he has been banned from editing. Unless he agrees to this, I favour an indefinite block, which would be preventative, rather than punitive. Daicaregos (talk) 15:44, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I would favour leaving him alone rather than obsessing about he chooses to discuss on his own talk page. Take it off your watchlist, for heaven's sake. — JonCॐ 15:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- The issue is what he discusses on his own talk page can/will leak out of his talk page to other areas. -DJSasso (talk) 16:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have a few comments that I want the AE admins to consider. First, many of those who have condemned GoodDay's actions here have been in conflct with him for some time, so in my opinion their assessment of the situation needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Now, while GoodDay's edit was technically a violation of his topic ban, I am of the opinion that action is unnecessary here - but GoodDay has mentioned that he feels he should be able to discuss diacritics on his talk page, and I dunno how ArbCom would feel about that. I just wanted the admins here to have all the info. Regards, Steven Zhang Get involved in DR! 18:30, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- "anywhere on the English Wikipedia." would include his talk page. If Arbcom had wanted GoodDay to comment in talk pages, it would have made an exceptions for talk pages. But it didn't. --Enric Naval (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- My long-standing view of GoodDay is that Hanlon's razor applies. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Statement by HandsomeFella
My edit was a perfectly good one, and it has not been reverted. I have made hundreds of those before, and they follow WP:MOS and the WP:HOCKEY Project Notice. I wish that Richwales had informed himself better before he went on to pick on me on my talkpage, so he wouldn't have to be so surprised at finding a "contradiction" for which he has "no good explanation". Had he done that, he would have found that GoodDay has an extreme position on diacritics, in addition to a history of editing disruptively along his beliefs, something he has been criticized for by many editors, including myself. – There's the explanation, RW. Inform yourself and you will reduce your level of surprise.
That said, it's not a personal thing to me, so I find no reason to abstain from correcting flaws, just because GoodDay occasionally has the same view. I'm not that childish.
I request that any request for enforcement of any kind against me is dropped, and the sooner the better.
HandsomeFella (talk) 19:39, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Enforcement wasn't being sought against you per the request above, so you didn't really need to add a section for yourself if I understand procedure properly. -DJSasso (talk) 20:05, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am mentioned under "Notification of the user against whom enforcement is requested". So I thought I'd better get a clarification. HandsomeFella (talk) 20:23, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- While I initially felt the set of events raised valid questions regarding both editors, I am inclined to accept HandsomeFella's explanation of his actions; and on that basis, it doesn't seem to me that any enforcement action is called for here against HandsomeFella. I can't presume to speak for others, but my impression is that no one else is proposing enforcement action against HandsomeFella either. — Richwales 20:37, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- So retract it then. Strikethru the mentioning of me above under "Notification of the user against whom enforcement is requested". HandsomeFella (talk) 06:25, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Done. I've also reworded my original comment about possible collaboration by HandsomeFella with GoodDay. — Richwales 16:45, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Result concerning GoodDay
I'm going to echo EdJohnston wrt GoodDay[16], the RFAR ruling: "GoodDay is indefinitely prohibited from making any edits concerning diacritics, or participating in any discussions about the same, anywhere on the English Wikipedia" is anything but ambiguous, and GoodDay's talk page post is in breach of that ban. That is open and shut. However of whether this[17] is worth a 30 day block I'm less certain. I'm inclined to go with a last & final warning for GoodDay and leave it there, but with the caveat that any further behaviour in breach of the RFAR should result in immediate sanction (1 month block). I'm open to suggestions, or convincing if other sysops have any ideas.
Reviewing the recent edits as well as the arbitration case, it seems clear to me that this is a breach of both the letter and the spirit of GoodDay's topic ban. It appears to be part of a pattern of him testing out the limits of what the community will permit; similarly, he persisted in editing the Zoë Baird article while the arb case was underway, all the while crying "censorship" just as he is doing currently. So I think a block is in order here; we are past the point of warnings. A month seems much, but I would suggest a two-week block. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:17, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
As a sitting arbitrator I'm not going to comment on the merits of the enforcement case, but I will observe that whether a topic-ban includes the user's own talkpage is a constant source of disagreement. I have tried sometimes to make sure this is addressed one way or the other in decisions I draft, but it doesn't always happen; and the same issue arises in community-originated topic-bans as well (such as with the dispute concerning Sceptre this week). Both arbitration decisions and community discussions should strive for greater clarity on this issue (and the right result may vary from case to case). If we ever post a proposed decision with a topic-ban that leaves this point unclear, please point it out on the talkpage so we can fix it at the time and save the enforcement board this type of hassle.

Another very problematic user in AA area. He was warned about AA remedies, warned about inappropriateness of edit warning, and violations of WP:BLP rules. Despite all of that, he made a very inappropriate edit to the BLP article about Azerbaijani chess player Teimour Radjabov, with inflammatory edit summary (now revdeleted): [19] After I rolled back that edit, he edit warred to restore it: [20] TheShadowCrow was blocked for 72 hours by CT Cooper for persistent violations of the biographies of living persons policy: [21], which is the second block of TheShadowCrow within the last 4 months.

Comments by others about the request concerning TheShadowCrow
TheShadowCrow is not currently subject to restrictions under these sanctions because he has not been given the required initial warning. Despite what Moreschi says here [23], he DID NOT notify TheShadowCrow. This [24] is not a notification. This request by Grandmaster should, at the most, be a request for TheShadowCrow to be given that initial warning so that TheShadowCrow becomes subject to them. However, I doubt the need for even that, given the edits cited are all BLP issues and seem to have been dealt with. Meowy 20:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- TheShadowCrow was warned about AA2 by me, which is sufficient. The purpose of the warning is to make the editor in question aware of the arbitration, which he was. Moreschi also warned TheShadowCrow to refrain from edit warring in AA area, which TheShadowCrow did not do. On a side note, Meowy is indefinitely banned from commenting at WP:AE and any other boards on AA related matters [25], which he again chose to ignore. Grandmaster 20:59, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I disagree. An editor does not become subject to specific sanctions just because some ordinary editor posts a vague note about those sanctions on the first editor's talk page. Why would any editor give an ounce of credbility and importance to such a note? In fact, I think that the posting of such a note breaks good faith editing guidelines, given that the giver and the receiver of the note will invariably be engaged in some sort of mutual editing dispute (as you were with TheShadowCrow when you posted the note) and the receiver will obviously see the posting of it as an aggressive act. A warning should only be given by uninvolved editors, ideally by uninvolved admnistrators - only then will the editor getting it know it is a serious matter and consider it to be good advice. The good advice by Moreschi about not to edit war and to explain edits on article talk pages applies to all articles on Wikipedia, not just to a specific subject area. Meowy 21:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Since we had to discuss Meowy here, I think it is worth to take a look at the history of his contribs after his return from a 1 year block in February this year. Meowy stood up for almost every sanctioned user who was sharing the same content views with him, wikilayering and petty bickering sometimes in violation of his ban on participation in AA enforcement discussions that have no direct relation to him. For instance, here he was objecting to the block of two disruptive accounts which were trying to game the 500 edit restriction: [26], and Meowy's incivil comments caused the admins to consider blocking him. Meowy's interactions with the enforcing admins at their talks were also in rude violation of civility norms: [27] [28] [29] I think this user should be restricted to make only comments directly related to the content of the articles, as his participation in any discussions unrelated to the article content is not really helpful.
Also, back in 2007 Meowy was placed on indef 1RR per week restriction, civility supervision, etc: [30], which was logged here: [31] Is that restriction still in force after his return from a 1 year block? The reason why I'm asking is because of the large content removals and reverts he made recently on Khojaly Massacre: [32] [33], which were eventually restored by an uninvolved editor.

Result concerning TheShadowCrow
- This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the section above.
- As this is a clear violation of Meowy's ban, and this is far from the first problem, Future Perfect at Sunrise has blocked Meowy for a week. Will come back to TheShadowCrow later. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 22:41, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, I was just going to make a not of it here. As for TheShadowCrow, the only thing I'll say right now is that I see little merit in Meowy's objection about the warnings. The warnings given to this editor were clearly sufficient. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:48, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- TheShadowCrow is already blocked for 72 hours for really obvious BLP violations. I'm minded to leave that in place, and impose a 6 months topic ban from the AA area; I don't have much confidence that an indefinite one won't follow in 6 months and 1 day, but it's worth trying. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 22:53, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Why Meowy hasn't been indeffed by now considering the multiple ban resets for evasion in their block log eludes me. Regardless, agree with The Blade on TheShadowCrow. T. Canens (talk) 23:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
