Charles Darwin

This section moved to Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Charles Darwin-Lincoln dispute/Proposed decision#Moved from Grunt's talk page.

66.20.28.21 on a rampage

Since the arbitration ruling against him, 66.20.28.21 has been on a rampage, continuing his pattern of sock puppets, reverts, and insertion of non-neutral material on a variety of pages. He has never shown any willingness to discuss any controversy, communicating only occasionally through his edit comments, which he uses mainly to taunt other users.

• 66.20.28.21's recent efforts
• Medical torture edit history showing his wide variety of sock puppets

It is long past time to get rid of this guy for good. --dreish~talk 19:01, 2005 Feb 2 (UTC)

Charles Darwin & me (Vincent)

Hello Mr. Speaker,
(Please allow me to call you that, since you were the first to voice a decision proposal.)

I must say I find you one of the more interesting arbitration committee members, along with Fred. I'm also a little disappointed (well, obviously) at the soon-to-be-finalized result. Interesting group dynamics experiment for me, but that was a fringe benefit to the whole exercise, as I'm quite sincere in my desire to have the factoid in and in my belief that I was shouted down by a clique.

As a Canadian, I rather expected you to remember June 1990. Why? I prefer you remembered on your own but if you insist for a hint, I'm afraid I'll have to apologize and say "No, Mr. Speaker".

Anyway, thanks for being the most positive, and my apologies for posting before the case closed. It's likely I won't be able to afterwards.

Cheers, Vincent 00:48, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

LaRouche Arbitration

I have never been involved with an arbitration on Wiki, so I'm not sure how to proceed or even if it is acceptable to contact arbitrators. If I'm acting in error, please let me know.

In the LaRouche matter, I see that in the August 2004 arbitration one of the main enforcement remedies adopted was this:

Wikipedia users who engage in re-insertion of original research which originated with Lyndon LaRouche and his movement or engage in edit wars regarding insertion of such material shall be subject to ban upon demonstration to the Arbitration Committee of the offense. Passed with 5 of 6 active arbitrators on 2 August 2004. No votes against and no abstentions

I have provided evidence of numerous cases in which original research originating with the LaRouche movement has been inserted by an editor, and even re-inserted into articles, in apparent violation of the above order. Yet I have not seen this matter brought up. Do I need to file a complaint to give the evidence a purpose? Thanks for your help. -Willmcw 22:50, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You may make note of this on the talk page of the evidence and/or proposed decision subsections; we'll find your comments there. :) -- Grunt 🇪🇺 22:56, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)

Thanks. The evidence isn't new, but the issue seemed to have been overlooked. I've written it into a formal complaint and listed the evidence to more clearly show the violation. I placed it on the talk page of the proposed decision page, Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Lyndon LaRouche Part Deux/Proposed decision. If that is a bad place for it, let me know and I can move it. Cheers, -Willmcw 01:34, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Housecleaning

To all those on the ArbCom: Man, you guys cleaned house! Great work. My number one hope for the 2005 ArbCom was that the backlog would shrink due to prompt decisions, and you all surpassed my hopes. My hat's off to you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 20:47, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

You forgot to include User:Tigermoon in arbitration/Developer help needed OneGuy 19:29, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

What? No, I didn't... ;) *looks shiftily about* -- Grunt 🇪🇺 19:30, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)

Thank you!

Just a quick "thank you" for voting me for admin. Now all I've got to do is find out how to use these worrying new powers... Grutness|^hello? 05:59, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

RK's request for arbitration

I am a little unclear on the terminology in regards to my request for arbitration. You wrote "I would like to see RK's current editing behaviour on these articles before determining whether the ban is warranted." Does this mean that there is now a temporary stay on the ban in order to see my edits? I made some edits yesterday, so you can check them out. RK 01:45, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

The proposed staying of the ban has not yet been passed by the rest of the arbitration committee; I would consider the ban to still be in place for the moment for this reason (even though I've indicated that I would like to see otherwise for the moment). The process of hearing the appeal will take some time and is not something I can do by myself. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 01:48, 2005 Feb 16 (UTC)

Everyking clarification

Hi Grunt, since you were one of the arbitrators who accepted the Everyking case I am letting you know that I have requested a clarification on the ruling on the talk page for that arbitration, since it may not be on your watchlist. The link is: Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Everyking#Clarification_requested. Thanks, silsor 10:32, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

SAIX

I have been using wikipedia now for just under a year and I have been blocked once again, this time the block was requested by you. And from what I can work out it was "Robert the Bruce" that was surposed to be blocked. The IP address 196.25.255.226 that was blocked is a SAIX IP which is one of the largest Gateways connecting South Africa to the rest of the world. The user Robert has been blocked for a year but the IPs were blocked for 24hrs. That means alot of South Africans will also be blocked including me. I just checked with my ISP and my IP address is 165.165.159.89 this changes everyday when I login. Is it not possible to pick up this IP address and not a gateway which million of people use? SAIX won't answer my emails when I ask for the range of IP that they use. When a IP is blocked can't you find the vandels correct IP not something in between him and wikipedia? This must get sorted soon because you going to loose alot of South Africans. --Jcw69 16:18, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nagorno-Karabakh: Request for help and/or advice

Hi Grunt,

I am writing to ask for your help to deal with a protracted dispute between me and User:Rovoam over the content of the Nagorno-Karabakh page. I realize that you may have a very limited time, let alone very limited knowledge about the issue itself, but I nevertheless decided to appeal to you. Today I filed a request for formal mediation to deal with this issue (mediation request is here). Before that I asked User:Davenbelle for third party opinion and he also briefly acted as an informal mediator/facilitator, but this wan't successful either. Frankly, I think mediation will not help either, so I am thinking about appealing to formal arbitration. But before doing that I just wanted to ask you for an advice on what shall I do, how to proceed further in order to stop Rovoam from pushing his nationalistic agenda. Please, have a look at the Nagorno-Karabakh discussion page for details. Hope to hear from you.--Tabib 11:34, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

We, the Arbitration Committee, do not deal with content disputes. If you feel there is a problem in editing behaviour in the questionable articles, compile some evidence indicating this is so and file a request on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 14:31, 2005 Feb 28 (UTC)

Hi Grunt, please see my post in Baku Ibne, et al. talkpage where I give update on recent attacks. Also if you have further questions or need some additional info, please, post it there as well.--Tabib 15:52, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

IP block

Sorry about that, the IP has been doing a lot of vandalism and has been warned many times. Jayjg ^(talk) 22:41, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Normally I do leave the IP blocked in circumstances such as these. It's when I have urgent things I need to do from here that necessiates unblocking in this fashion. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 15:27, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)

RE:Arbitration Committee case opening

I don't understand, evidence about what? REX 15:04, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand the relevance of this comment; you're not a disputant in any case I've opened recently. -- Grunt 🇪🇺 15:30, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)

Please excuse me, the above post was meant to be on someone else's talk page. REX 16:06, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration

There's absolutely no case to answer. The complainant refused mediation. He clearly doesn't actually want to resolve the issue. I don't want to waste any time on it. Do the witch-ducking without me. Dr Zen 23:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sucking a cock a day keeps the urge away!

Hi Grunt, Sorry to interrupt you sucking some juicy cock.

Here is what I just wrote your anal darling Rhobite:

"Well, well Rhobite (Raw-bite??) Seems you are at it again, sucking cock like mad?! (slurp/Suckle-di-gulp....) Whenever sucking Grunt's cock, please ask him why he informs me on my Talk page about an arb-case pending "against me", asking me to post a comment, while Mr. SUCKACOCK Rhobite blocks me from doing so. I appreciate your help, inbetween sucking a cock and receiving another up your itchy anus. Thank you kindly (enjoy all those cocks, orally and anally). Sincerely, Osmanoglou"

Anyways, you too have yourself a lovely (anal) day and lots a'good suckin' ! (Quit scratching your itchy little anus, as that will make things only worce). Sincerely--Ossmanoglou 23:06, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
