Revision as of 04:14, 17 April 2015
This page lists individual editors subject to editing restrictions, which includes bans and other types of restrictions; however editors who are subject to site bans are listed at Category:Banned Wikipedia users instead. These restrictions may be imposed by the Arbitration Committee or the Wikipedia community. These do not include general sanctions, that apply to all editors working in particular topic areas.
The Arbitration Committee may impose restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually following a request for arbitration. Such restrictions may be modified or revoked by the Committee by motion; usually following a request for amendment of the original case.
The community may also impose a number of different editing restrictions on users engaged in inappropriate behavior, usually at an administrators' noticeboard. Such restrictions may be revoked at the same venue by the community when the community believes that they are no longer necessary.
If a user has repeatedly violated policy to the point that any further violation will result in a block, specific final warnings worthy of documenting may also be listed here under "Final warnings". This section is only for warnings regarding the further violation of existing policies, rather than for added restrictions that revoke an editor's normal editing privileges. For this purpose, an unblock condition that explicitly indicates that the user will be reblocked if violated is considered a "final warning".
Types of restrictions
The following is a list of the most common types of restrictions, however, the wording of such remedies may vary, so be sure to check the wording in each particular case in the first instance prior to relying on default recommendations. Restrictions that do not specify a duration are considered to be indefinite by default. More unique restrictions which have been imposed in unusual circumstances are not listed.
- Account restriction
- The user is limited to editing with a certain number of accounts (usually 1).
- Civility restriction
- The user may be blocked if they make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith.
- Probation (supervised editing)
- The user on probation may be banned from pages that they edit in a certain way (usually disruptively) by an uninvolved administrator. Probation is usually used as an alternative to an outright topic ban in cases where the editor shows some promise of learning better behavior.
- Revert restriction
- Usually, the user is limited to a certain number of reverts (usually 1) per page/topic per period of time (usually: 24 hours or 1 week) – exceptions, such as obvious vandalism, may apply. The user is additionally required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page. Users who exceed this limit or fail to discuss a content reversion are usually blocked. See also WP:1RR or WP:0RR.
- Topic ban
- The user is prohibited from editing either (1) any page relating to a particular topic, (2) particular pages that are specified in the ban, and/or (3) making any edits in relation to a particular topic. Such a ban may include or exclude corresponding talk pages. Users who violate such bans may be blocked. Note that site-wide bans should not be recorded on this page, but should be listed at WP:BU instead.
- Move ban
- The user is prohibited from directly moving (renaming) pages with the page move feature (perhaps on a topical basis).
- Interaction ban
- The user is prohibited from interacting with one or more users. See WP:IBAN.
Enforcement
Editors who violate Arbitration-imposed restrictions may be blocked or otherwise sanctioned as described in the relevant Arbitration case. It is always best for enforcement actions to be taken by uninvolved administrators. Generally, blocks for violating civility restriction, revert limitation, or topic bans start at 24 hours per violation, but may escalate after multiple violations. All blocks and topic bans should be logged at the relevant Arbitration case page. Administrators who plan on enforcing Arbitration restrictions should check the case page for any case-specific enforcement language. For more information see Arbitration enforcement.
Users subject to restrictions
Placed by the Arbitration Committee
User | Decision | Type | Sanction (quoted from case) |
Expiration Date |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cinteotl | Historicity of Jesus | Topic ban | The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic ban preventing Cinteotl (talk · contribs) (formerly Fearofreprisal) from editing Historicity of Jesus.[1] It is converted to an Arbitration Committee-imposed ban affecting the Historicity of Jesus, broadly construed, and enforcement of the ban should be discussed at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. Cinteotl is cautioned that if they disrupt and breach restrictions, they may be subject to increasingly severe sanctions. They may appeal this ban to the Committee in no less than twelve months time. | Indefinite |
Carolmooredc | Interactions at GGTF | Topic ban | Indefinitely prohibited on the English Wikipedia from: editing any pages relating to or making any edit about: (i) the Gender Gap Task Force; (ii) the gender disparity among Wikipedians; and (iii) any process or discussion relating to these topics, all broadly construed. An uninvolved admin may remove any comments that breach this remedy, and impose blocks as necessary. The Committee's standard provisions on enforcement of arbitration provisions and appeals and modifications of arbitration enforcements apply. | Indefinite |
Eric Corbett | Interactions at GGTF | Topic ban | Indefinitely prohibited on the English Wikipedia from: editing any pages relating to or making any edit about: (i) the Gender Gap Task Force; (ii) the gender disparity among Wikipedians; and (iii) any process or discussion relating to these topics, all broadly construed. An uninvolved admin may remove any comments that breach this remedy, and impose blocks as necessary. The Committee's standard provisions on enforcement of arbitration provisions and appeals and modifications of arbitration enforcements apply. | Indefinite |
Eric Corbett | Interactions at GGTF | Editing restriction | Eric Corbett agrees to a restriction prohibiting him from shouting at, swearing at, insulting and/or belittling other editors. The restriction comes into immediate effect on the passing of this motion. If Eric Corbett finds himself tempted to engage in prohibited conduct, he is to disengage and either let the matter drop or refer it to another editor to resolve. If however, in the opinion of an uninvolved administrator, Eric Corbett does engage in prohibited conduct, he may be blocked. The first two such blocks shall be of 72 hours duration, increasing thereafter for each subsequent breach to one week, one month, and three months. Any blocks under this provision are arbitration enforcement actions and may only be reviewed or appealed at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. Should a fifth block (three months) prove necessary, the blocking administrator must notify the Arbitration Committee of the block via a Request for Clarification and Amendment so that the remedy may be reviewed. The enforcing administrator may also at their discretion fully protect Eric Corbett's talk page for the duration of the block. Nothing in this remedy prevents enforcement of policy by uninvolved administrators in the usual way. |

Cirt | Cirt and Jayen466 | Topic ban | Cirt is prohibited from making any edit of whatever nature to articles relating to new religious movements or their adherents, broadly construed, or to any associated biographies of living people. | Indefinite |
Editing restriction | Cirt is prohibited from editing articles that are substantially biographies of living people if, broadly but reasonably construed, (i) the articles already refer to politics or religion or social controversy; or (ii) his edits introduce to the articles material about politics or religion or social controversy. However, Cirt is permitted to edit other articles that refer incidentally to such living people providing (i) the focus of the articles is not substantially biographical and (ii) his edits are not biographical in nature.
Should Cirt's continued editing raise further concerns about his compliance with the BLP policy, the Committee may expand the scope of this restriction by motion to include all editing relating to living persons. Conversely, if Cirt conforms his future editing to applicable policies and the principles set forth in this decision and Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Manipulation of BLPs, he may submit a request for amendment after one year from the date of this decision seeking a relaxation of this restriction. |

Noleander | Noleander | Topic ban | Noleander (talk · contribs) is topic-banned from making any edit relating to Judaism, the Jewish people, Jewish history or culture, or individual Jewish persons identified as such, broadly but reasonably construed, in any namespace. Any disputes concerning the scope of the topic-ban may be raised on the Arbitration Enforcement page for prompt resolution. Unnecessary "wikilawyering" about the precise scope of the topic-ban is unwelcome and may be cause for further sanctions. This topic-ban shall be effective indefinitely, but Noleander may request that it be terminated or modified after at least one year has elapsed. In considering any such request, the Committee will give significant weight to whether Noleander has established an ability to edit collaboratively and in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines in other topic-areas of the project. Any perceptibly biased or prejudiced editing concerning any other group would weigh against lifting of the topic-ban and could also result in further sanctions. |

In considering any such request, the Committee will give significant weight to whether Lsorin has established an ability to edit collaboratively and in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines in other topic-areas of the project. The topic-ban imposed in this decision applies to all pages in all namespaces. However, the topic-ban does not preclude Lsorin from (1) responding to good-faith, reasonable inquiries from other editors on his user talkpage seeking information about the Coanda(-1910, as long as Lsorin does not misuse this permission; (2) participating in the arbitration enforcement discussion of any allegation that he violated the topic-ban; or (3) posting an authorized request for the lifting or modification of the topic-ban after the specified time period has elapsed. |

- ^ Both have been offered the chance to apply for review if they can show productive editing in other areas, though even after review the topic ban would be unlikely to be lifted entirely.
- ^ The extended topic ban is somewhat vaguely defined. If in doubt, Terra Novus is to approach an admin for clarification, preferentially User:Dougweller who proposed the extension.
- ^ This includes but is not limited to: changing templates to template redirects, changing template redirects to templates (see here for AWB stock changes on this item, with the understanding that bypassing template redirects will only be done when there is a substantive edit being done), changing the spacing around headers and ordered lists (except to make an aberration consistent with the rest of the page), and changing the capitalization of templates. Furthermore, prior to orphaning/emptying and deleting categories or templates, the appropriate processes (WP:CFD/WP:TFD) should be engaged.
