Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ericsaindon2/Evidence

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anomalous_phenomenon&diff=5587219&oldid=5584644] [1].

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

The Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as Arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators may edit /Proposed decision.

Ericsaindon2 has been trying to insert original research into Wikipedia

For several months, Ericsaindon2 has been trying to insert original research into Wikipedia, in violation of Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view: namely, the idea that Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California is a city or should be treated like one. He has been trying to put in an infobox into the article that shows fake city "boundaries" and a "seal" of his own design, and he keeps moving the article to Anaheim Hills, California even though everyone keeps reverting the move.

After watching User:Mike Dillon and User:Will Beback struggle to point him straight on this issue (see Talk:Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California/archive 2), I decided to jump in. As I have explained to Ericsaindon2, Anaheim Hills should not be treated like a city because it lacks clearly defined boundaries [2] [3], and is not recognized as an official neighborhood or district in any way by the City of Anaheim [4]. In response, he produced links to a boatload of garbage which I easily rebutted. [5] He feebly attempted to counter my rebuttal, but I pointed out that in his counterargument, he made several fatal concessions that defeated his own position.[6] In short, he has utterly failed to convince anyone that his position is anything but original research.

The following list of examples of original research on Ericsaindon2's part is copied from the RfC:

• Adding Anaheim Hills to lists of cities, or otherwise listing it as a city
  • [7], [8], [9],[10], [11] (calls Anaheim Hills a "major city" that surrounds a large national forest), [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]
• Adding self-created city seal and maps. [19], [20], [21], [22]
• Adding unsourced information and personal opinions, removes tags
  • April7, 2006, April 9, 2006, April 12, 2006, May 14, 2006
  • Adds original theory about "How Geography Defines the Wealth of a Community", and revert wars over its inclusion in several articles [23], [24], [25], [26] (removes "Unreferenced" tag), [27] (ditto), [28] (ditto), [29] (removes specific "Fact" tags)), [30], [31] (removes "Unreferenced" tag), [32] (removes counterpoints to his theory added by another editor.)

Ericsaindon2 has repeatedly disrupted Wikipedia to illustrate a point, engaged in miscellaneous vandalism, attempted to "own" a Wikipedia article, and used Wikipedia as a soapbox:

The following list is copied from the RfC:

• Disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point, and other vandalism
  • Adds "cleaunup" tags to a user page in reaction to that user having applied the tags to an article. [33], [34], [35].
  • Moves many articles to new titles after "Anaheim Hills" was moved. Some of the page moves were appropriate, but others were not. Especially "Manhattan, New York (state)]]", which was made with no discussion, and in ignorance of previous discussions. [36] Some of the moves caused the edit histories to become confused and require repair.[37]
  • Repeatedly removing {{sprotect}} and {{mprotect}} when it is it under protection. [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44]
• Edit warring
  • Ericsaindon2 has been blocked four times for violating WP:3RR.[45]. After the third block he promised via email that he would not edit war in exchange for an early unblock.[46]
  • Combative tone; [47], [48]
• Ownership
  • Adds large amount of text to article, wiping out existing end material. (Later rewrites the rest.) April 5, 2006
  • "You have no justification for blocking the movement of this page (expecially since I wrote 99.999999999% of this article). " [49]
• Soapbox
  • Adds article to list of Featured Articles [50]
  • Posts a variation of {{featured}} on the talk page that says, "Anaheim Hills, California is a Wikipedia:Outstanding Achievement and Progress, which means that it (or a previous version) has been greatly modified and drastically improved over the past 90 days, and is now one of Wikipedias premier articles. In its current state it is one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community." [51]

After this case was accepted by the Committee, Ericsaindon2 vandalized my own user page four separate times within 24 hours: [52] [53] [54] [55]

These vandalism claims were not done by me, but rather Mr.Executive, who alleges Coolcaesar has sockpuppets.

Ericsaindon2 has been using sockpuppets

Primary account:

• Ericsaindon2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

Besides his primary account, he has been using multiple accounts and IP addresses as sockpuppets in violation of Wikipedia policy:

• OC31113 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
• Mr.Executive (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
• Mr.Executive2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
• 69.232.62.33 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

• 69.232.50.106 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

He continues to persist even though he has been warned several times that sockpuppeting is bad: [56] [57] [58]

Ericsaindon2 has failed to comply in good faith with the consensus of the Wikipedia community

The consensus of all concerned editors is clearly against Ericsaindon2, yet he refuses to concede and cooperate. A cursory review of Talk:Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California, Talk:Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California/archive 1, and Talk:Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California/archive 2 will show that this issue has been debated and run through straw polls several times, and every time the vast majority voted against Ericsaindon2's positions.

• Ericsaindon2 has been warned on many occasions by admins and users that he should cooperate with the consensus of the Wikipedia community and basic rules like 3RR [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] [66]

[67] [68] [69]

Furthermore, through his sockpuppets, 69.232.58.210 and Mr.Executive, he attempted to retaliate by opening a Request for Arbitration against myself shortly after this case was accepted by the Committee: [70] [71]

No facts or basis for this allegation either, I am not affiliated with user:Mr.Executive

Ericsaindon2 has uploaded images of questionable provenance several times

Ericsaindon2 has been warned several times to make sure his uploads conform to copyright law: [72] [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] [78] [79]
