Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Senkaku Islands closed

An arbitration case regarding Senkaku Islands has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

1. User:Tenmei is indefinitely topic banned from the subject of Senkaku Islands, widely construed. The topic ban includes talk pages, wikipedia space and userspace.
2. Tenmei is advised that his unusual style of communication has not been conducive to resolving this dispute. Accordingly, Tenmei is urged to develop a different style of communication, which is more similar to that used by experienced Wikipedia editors. Until this happens, Tenmei is advised not to engage in topics which are the subject of a dispute.
3. Tenmei is banned for one year.
4. User:Bobthefish2 is topic banned from the subject of Senkaku Islands, widely construed, for one year. The topic ban includes talk pages, wikipedia space and user space.
5. User:STSC is warned to avoid any sexualisation of discussions, especially during disputes.
6. The parties are reminded that attempts to use Wikipedia as a battleground may result in the summary imposition of additional sanctions, up to and including a ban from the project.
7. The topic covered by the article currently located at Senkaku Islands, interpreted broadly, is placed under standard discretionary sanctions. Any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in this topic area, after an initial warning.
8. An uninvolved administrator may, after a warning given a month prior, place any set of pages relating to a territorial dispute of islands in East Asia, broadly interpreted, under standard discretionary sanctions for six months if the editing community is unable to reach consensus on the proper names to be used to refer to the disputed islands.

   While a territorial dispute is subject to discretionary sanctions due to this remedy, any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in these topical areas, after an initial warning.

Unfortunately you'll have to do your philosophising elsewhere Tenmei. Banned users are not generally permitted to edit their talkpages, other than for 'official' communication (eg if they have been permitted to submit an appeal after X months).Elen of the Roads (talk) 18:22, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

• Question - may I ask why the email permission was removed? Is this standard procedure? I don't care to get involved too deeply in the issue (it may be academic at this point) - but I'm curious. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:07, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

To reply to this question in detail would require me to break the confidential and private nature of information submitted by email --Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 19:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

• Note, I have nominated nearly all Tenmei's user sub pages for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Tenmei Sandboxes. Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:49, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
• I for one am sorry to see you go Tenmei. Stay strong, hope to see you back some day. JORGENEV 23:53, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Reflections on your mentorship

Hello Tenmei,

I'm sorry to see you get blocked. We tried to get you back on the right path, but in the end we seemed to be back at the same place. While you are blocked, I would highly recommend you participating at your native-language Wiki and perhaps at Simple English Wikipedia. I assume both places would be glad to accept constructive editing and I know the smaller projects need a lot of help.

I realize this may be a little bit too late, but this is what I've learned from this mentoring process. While I think you were trying to keep everyone informed, your constant use of email and long talk-page posts made it difficult for us to figure out what exactly you were talking about. We simply couldn't keep up with the sheer volume of your responses, and a lot of information seemed to be being repeated.

The other part is the general way you organize your responses. For example here, it almost looks like symbolic logic from philosophy. Your posts appear in many sections, with bullet points, extra punctuation, various titles and headings, and many short lines. A more productive method (and the way almost everyone on Wikipedia posts) would be to simply post in conversational language with complete sentences maybe two or three paragraphs; keeping concise and leaving room for other people to offer their views. I recognize that English is probably not your first language, but I urge you to take on a more natural, and as I said, "conversational" tone; the goal here is to talk to the other Wikipedians, not to announce or inform like a newspaper or textbook.

Anyway, I hope you are well. Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page when you're block is over. Be well! --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 04:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — CharlieEchoTango — 23:25, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:32, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Kumazawa Hiromichi 1946.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Kumazawa Hiromichi 1946.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 18:51, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
