Proposed result concerning Tentontunic

How does this proposed remedy make sense? The Four Deuces and Tentontunic edit war over a POV tag, and you guys craft a remedy banning others not currently editing the article from contributing, because they were sanctioned some time in the past, regardless of whether they may have since reformed. Check the edit history, no one previously sanctioned under WP:Digwuren or WP:EEML has been editing the article for a significant period of time, yet you guys want to ban them for contributing in the future. I fail to see how that is rational or fair. --Martin (talk) 04:44, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

...AND they propose that both Four Deuces and Tentontunic, who were the ones edit warring over a POV tag, are let off without sanctions, and left free to edit the article in the future, unsanctioned! Hilarious.Volunteer Marek (talk) 04:59, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I do not think I was edit warring, I reverted once. The tag has been there since 2009 I honestly did not think removing it would count as edit warring, since I have now looked more closely at the article history I have seen the same editors who wish to delete the Communist terrorism article have much the same stranglehold on this one. That The Four Deuces has a battleground mentality is obvious in his most recent edits, even going so far as to propose for deletion an article I created. I shall go on a voluntary 0RR on the mass killings article, it is unfair that others be punished for my transgression. I am cross posting this here from the enforcement page in case you do not see it. Tentontunic (talk) 13:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

The article-level sanctions are imposed because the administrators examining the request have found that the problems with conduct on this article are not limited to the editing of The Four Deuces and Tentontunic. The sanction is rational and fair, in my opinion, because it prevents most of the previous edit-warriors from continuing to disrupt the editing of the article, while imposing only a very mild restriction on previously uninvolved EE-sanctioned editors (a restriction from editing one of 3 million articles).  Sandstein  22:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Re this [1] when I clicked "edit", wrote my comment and clicked "save" the section was NOT closed. Also I did not get a message that there was an edit conflict. However, it showed up as being in a closed section.

Anyway, let me repeat the question: "Sandstein: the history of this article shows that it has been the subject of so much contention and conflict by so many previously sanctioned editors that the best way to stop the conflict is to remove most previous players from the game - Ummm, seriously Sandstein, can you specifically point/list these supposed previously sanctioned editors, who were part of the three ArbCom cases you include in your sanction, who did something wrong on the article at any point in the past year or so (aside from TFD)? Or hell, can you even specifically point/list such editors who EDITED THE ARTICLE AT ALL??? If not, then why are you sanctioning them? And what do you think this will accomplish?"

Additionally, above you state: because it prevents most of the previous edit-warriors from continuing to disrupt the editing of the article. Who are these "edit-warriors"? Name them by name if you can! Aside from TFD, there's like not a single other editor (maybe, maybe Petri) who has edited that article in the past six months! Or even a year. So what is the point of this sanction? Whether the sanction is "mild" or not is beside the point. The point is that it is horribly ill thought out and unfair.Volunteer Marek (talk) 22:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Let's look at it the other way around: In a year, is the article still the subject of edit wars and other conflicts? If the answer turns out to be yes, I agree that the sanction is inadequate and needs to be reviewed. Until then, let's wait and see. After all, this approach worked with London Victory Parade of 1946 and with Caucasian Albania.  Sandstein  22:53, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Can I slap an arbitrary sanction on you, because for example, there is some shenanigans going on Northern Italy related topics, and then say, oh well, we can just wait a year and then if it looks like it didn't work I might, just might admit that this sanction was misplaced? Until then...

And what ended the trouble at London Victory Parade was not your sanction but ONE particular editor's topic ban.

Above all, I note that you have completely ignored my question - perhaps because answering it may be a bit embarrassing. So let me repeat it: can you specifically point/list these supposed previously sanctioned editors, who were part of the three ArbCom cases you include in your sanction, who did something wrong on the article at any point in the past year or so (aside from TFD)? Or hell, can you even specifically point/list such editors who EDITED THE ARTICLE AT ALL???Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Igny (talk · contribs), Petri Krohn (talk · contribs), Marknutley (talk · contribs), and that's only on the first few history pages and only usernames that I personally recognize as previously sanctioned. It is true that the group of previous edit warriors on this article and the group of previously sanctioned editors overlap only partially, but if (as you say) many of the latter have not so far edited the article, then banning them from it will not restrict them very much.  Sandstein  23:18, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

None of these guys except for Petri were part of these cases. I'm assuming then that you're including anyone who's ever been "put on notice". Even so, Mark Nutley is currently banned anyway, I think Igny has only made one or two edits (and I wasn't aware he was "put on notice") and even Petri hasn't edited the article in awhile. Even allowing that, that still leaves a couple dozen editors who have nothing to do with the article. Is this like "it's better to punish a hundred innocent men than let one guilty one get away"? Oh wait, Tentontunic is not subject to any sanction so some of the guilty get away too. And as I already said the fact that these editors "have not so far edited the article, then banning them from it will not restrict them very much." is beside the point. There's a principle here, there's a notion of fairness and there is also implications for the general atmosphere in which Wikipedia takes place - the decision says it's okay to sanction editors for no reason at all. That's the kind of project we want here?Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:25, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

If there is an issue with Mark Nutley, Igny and Petri Krohn, place the restriction on them. I haven't edited this article for a very long time and I certainly object to having this restriction placed on me, for no other reason than my past which was unrelated to this article in any case. I'm sure the others will too. Do you really want several dozen people complaining to ArbCom over this? The current problems are caused by a largely unrelated group of people. It seems there is a reluctance to sanction these editors and instead take the easy option of scapegoating this other group of people for no reason what so ever other than for something they may have done elsewhere in the past. This mis-aimed action will simply have no effect on this article since these people you have banned have just not been involved, while those who are actually involved have escaped any sanction at all. They must be laughing their arses off. --Martin (talk) 23:37, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

There's no issue with Mark Nutley, Igny or Petri either. These are spurious examples with no meaning.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. --Martin (talk) 23:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Actually no, I am not laughing at all. I feel terribly guilty that my actions lead to this. It is I believe unfair. Tentontunic (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

You are a newbie and we don't bite newbies, and you reverted your last edit in any case, so it is fair that you were not sanctioned. But the other party to the case TFD was angling for sanctioning a wider group of univolved editors [2], so it was a win for him.

Considering The Four Deuces history of the same behavior on Venezuela articles, this is rather incredulous;[3] I stopped watching/participating at Hugo Chavez long ago, since TFD and Jrtyloriv just operate together to remove well-justified POV tags no matter how many reliable sources are given and how many agree on article talk. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, but SandyGeorgia, you have edited the Hugo Chavez article in the past. Hence, if any two random users get in an edit war over it at any point in the future, you will be banned from the Hugo Chavez article. Actually, it's not even that - since most editors being banned from the article under discussion have never edited it or have not edited it in the past year - it's worse. So let's see... if two random users get into an edit war on some Bolivia related article, THEN you will be banned from the Hugo Chavez article, because, you know, Bolivia's close enough to Venezuela for Arbitration/Enforcement "discretionary sanctions" purposes. They take their "discretionary" in the "discretionary sanctions" quite seriously.Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

No difference. Might as well be banned from Chavez anyway, since it's OWNed and no one can or will do anything about it ... so someone go edit Autism so I can be officially banished to Honduras per discretionary sanctions. It's quite amazing how TFD handles POV tags clearly justified on talk. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

The decision hardly looks wise for at least two reasons. Firstly, most old editors who got sanctions for their behaviour in the past already elaborated more or less reasonable editorial pattern that allows them to avoid major edit wars and to maintain a fragile balance. You probably noticed that this case was a result of the intervention of the newbie. I anticipate that removal of old editors will lead just to an escalation of edit wars in close future, so the result will be the opposite. For example, I noticed that some very controversial edit has already been made in the lede, and, in my opinion, it is a direct consequence of the new restrictions (and just only a beginning).
Secondly, the decision will not improve the article quality. By contrast, it creates a situation when controversial edits will stay longer in the article. The decision about 1 edit per week must be complemented by another decision, namely, that every controversial edit that has not been previously discussed on the talk page and has not been supported there can and should be reverted in any moment, and that that reverts should be excluded from the normal 1RR restriction. This scheme works fine for such a controversial and important article as the WWII article, and I have no idea why the same scheme cannot be applied to the Mass killings under Communist regimes article.
And finally, this decision needs in some clarification. Is the list of the users who are banned from editing is limited with those who have been listed on the WP:DIGWUREN, WP:EEML or WP:ARBRB pages, or it applies to all users who were sanctioned per these cases, but who are not listed there? And is it possible that these lists will be expanded post factum for the sanctions applied in the past?--Paul Siebert (talk) 20:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I am bemused by the fact I am barred from editing the London Parade which I have absolutely nothing to do with at all. The stretching of Digwaren has become absure, alas. Collect (talk) 21:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

What seems to matter is not WHO is barred, but rather the NUMBER of people barred - that way you get the most bang for your banning bucks. The rationale seems to be "if these editors didn't edit the article then banning them is ok because they don't edit it anyway". Head, meet wall.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:24, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Mass killings sanction

The above discussion has convinced me that my current sanction may not be well suited to the purpose of preventing edit-warring and other disruption with respect to Mass killings under Communist regimes‎‎ (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I am therefore considering to vacate the sanction and to replace it with the following:

• No editor may make edits to the article unless such edits are either

• minor edits as described at WP:Minor edit and marked as minor,
• reverts of obvious vandalism or an obvious WP:BLP violation,
• or have consensus as described below, and the edit summary contains a link to the talk page discussion establishing that consensus.

Procedural details

The rules at WP:BAN#Exceptions to limited bans apply to reverts of vandalism or BLP violations. (For clarity's sake, the removal or addition of cleanup tags, for any reason, are neither minor edits nor vandalism.) For the purpose of this sanction, an edit may only be deemed to have consensus if the following minimum procedural requirements are met: It has been proposed on the talk page, in a dedicated section or subsection, for at least 72 hours. In that section, the proposal has been either unopposed or at least four registered editors (including the proposer) have commented about the proposal. The proposal does not substantially duplicate a previous proposal that failed to achieve consensus, or seek to undo a previous change that did achieve consensus, if that previous proposal or change was made less than a month before the new proposal. The editor who makes an edit is responsible that the edit has consensus as outlined above. To prevent the risk of being sanctioned in the event that an administrator finds that the edit did not have consensus, any editor may ask on a community forum for an uninvolved administrator to determine whether or not consensus exists for the proposal. Such determinations are binding for the purpose of this sanction, but do not prevent consensus from changing by way of a new proposal. Administrators may ask for continued discussion if they believe that this would help consensus-finding, and they may weigh the arguments advanced in the light of applicable Wikipedia policies and guidelines in order to determine consensus or the lack thereof.

• Editors who violate this editing restriction may be sanctioned with escalating blocks or other discretionary sanctions per WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions.

I invite comment by all interested editors about this proposal. It is linked to from the article talk page and WP:AN. To prevent editors from hastily changing the article while the proposal is still being discussed, I have full-protected the article for 72 hours.  Sandstein  22:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Sandstein, I am heartened by your attempts to find a solution. Your proposal may be a bit unwieldy to administer, why not simply replace item 2 of the current sanction template with the provision that anyone violating item one will be summarily banned from the article (rather than the usual 24hour block). If they can't discipline themselves to abide by a simple 1RR rule, then they have no place contributing to the article any way. This would have a similar effect to what I presume you intended with the original sanction. --Martin (talk) 22:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

This is much better. It is pretty good in fact. Thanks.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion, this your proposal is close to what is needed. At least, similar unwritten rules work for the WWII article, and lead to its considerable improvement. Although, in my opinion, the proposed rules are too detailed. I think, the essential things are:

1. The major edits (not typos or copyedits) that have been done without discussion on the talk page can be reverted by anyone, and are not subject to 1RR limitations;
2. The proposed changes should be supported by consensus; however, you "the proposal has been either unopposed or at least four registered editors (including the proposer) have commented about the proposal" is redundantly detailed, and resembles a poll, which contradicts to WP policy. Just "support" means nothing, if no fresh arguments are provided. Therefore, I see no reason to re-define what does "consensus" mean.
   

In connection to that, I propose:

1. To protect the article fully for the period of several weeks;
2. To discuss, on the article talk page, the most efficient way of future collaboration, using the WWII as an example (frankly speaking, I tried to propose that before, but people didn't listen);
3. When the rules are elaborated and approved by all involved editors, to unprotect the article, leaving it semiprotected;
4. If no common rules are elaborated in one month, unlock the article, but topic ban all users who was previously involved in the work on this article;
5. (in the case of #4, relax, and wait for future edit wars with new participants :-))).

In my opinion, the users must realise that it is their last chance, otherwise, it will not work.--Paul Siebert (talk) 23:15, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

• Yes, this sanction is definitely much better. But it can easily happen that someone makes changes that do not cause anyone's objections. Then such consensus-building process would not be required. However, if anyone objects to the change at article talk page, then such change should be reverted back by default, and the consensus-building process starts, as outlined above. This could make editing of the article much more efficient. Biophys (talk) 00:02, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest seeing first whether the original proposal works. I do not understand the argument against it - that it merely blocks editors who do not edit the article anyway. The amount of discussion from various editors in an AE request concerning a 1RR violation shows that there is still considerable interest in this article. TFD (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• Am I the only one who doesn't see a need for any of this? A few new editors recently showed up who were not familiar with the article's prior discussions and stepped on some toes when they boldly edited the article. I don't see this as an actual problem, and I certainly don't think we can "fix" this by banning editors who have not been misbehaving (and I see nothing at Wikipedia:DIGWUREN#Discretionary_sanctions which allows an administrator to do that, even if those editors had been banned in the past). I do think that there has been too much talk page bickering and not enough constructive article editing, but I don't know what could be realistically done to change that beyond the 1RR rule. Maybe extending the 1RR for a longer period would help. Maybe blocking edits to the lede for some period and requiring that every edit made to the body of the article has a citation would improve things. But maybe not. I'm pretty sure, however, that requiring talk page consensus for any edit to the article is a recipe for article paralysis and talk page bloat, which is an exaggeration of the current problem. AmateurEditor (talk) 00:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• Comment - Anyone already banned from the page probably should be subject to 0RR, as there is a presumption of difficulty in editing collaboratively. BigK HeX (talk) 12:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• It appears to me that Sandstein is trying to progress beyond the type of restriction used at London Victory Parade of 1946. The edit warring there was successfully halted, but that kind of restriction was criticized. People said it was unfair to ban people from an article who had not edited at all there. Sandstein now gives up enumerating the set of people who can't edit, and tries to impose a consensus requirement. This seems hard to do. If we go in this direction, why not just place the article under full protection for a period of time, like three months, and have all changes approved using {{editprotect}}? I am also influenced by User:AmateurEditor, who argues that it's not that big of a problem. Before switching to Sandstein's new restriction, why not either (a) do nothing for a period of time, or (b) try an interim step like a 1RR/week editing restriction? EdJohnston (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I think the proposal by Sandstein makes a lot of sense as a general measure that could be used in many battleground articles. But it must first be tested, for example on "Mass killings".Biophys (talk) 17:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)In my opinion, your "a" and "b" is just a palliative, an attempt to postpone the resolution of the problem, not to resolve the issue. As I already wrote, we have a good example of a highly politicised article (WWII) where the users by themselves elaborated a productive way to collaborate without edit warring. The only thing we need is to force current players to elaborate mutually accepted rules. Since they will be elaborated by the users themselves, the probability that they will be observed will be higher. The key rule should be that any non-discussed addition/change can be reverted by anyone (and an attempt to re-insert reverted changes should be reported), therefore, the only possible way to introduce new edits is put present the new text to the talk page, discuss it, and, if no reasonable criticism follows, to add to the article. (It is important that the criticism must be reasonable, because bare oppose cannot be taken into account per WP:DEMOCRACY).--Paul Siebert (talk) 17:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

@ Hodja. I am among the most active editors working on the WWII article, and I already know that this scheme works. There is no need to test it, we just need to force the current users working on the Mass killing... article to accept similar rules mutatis mutandi. It is really important that they elaborate and accept these rules by themselves. In addition, that will make all other sanctions and limitations redundant.--Paul Siebert (talk) 17:52, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Many people did not accept anything, as clear from AE discussion. Therefore, some sanctions are needed. This sanction is good because it does not prevent people from participation, it is fair, it is consistent with policies, and it prevents edit-warring. Biophys (talk) 18:57, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Straw man argument. I do not question the need of additional sanctions, however, the more complicated the sanctions will be the more probable that they will be gamed. A restriction should be clear: you can edit, however, if the text you added has not been approved during the talk page discussion (no reasonable opposition during a reasonable time) it can be reverted by anyone, and anyone can report you if you try to do that again. The simpler rules are, the more likely that they will work. And, according to my experience, the rules the peoples developed by themselves are more likely to be observed.--Paul Siebert (talk) 19:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

• I balk at a proposal, like this one, that undermines the informal nature of the collaborative Wiki model. But it does, it seems, to regrettably have been made necessary by the defective and dysfunctional approach to editing this article that is being adopted by some editors. Where a sanction that imposes a rigid procedure for "measuring" consensus has become necessary, the one above that Sandstein wrote would, in my view, do the job. Moreover, it's well-written and a lot of consideration has obviously been put into it; for this, I commend him. As disappointed as I am that we have found ourselves having to impose this kind of sanction, I support its implementation. AGK [•] 20:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Pic

Hi, regarding this pic placement and fair use rationale. Talk:Jared_Lee_Loughner#Placement_of_Image - I requested closure via WP:AN but there seems little interest. If you are interested, would you assess the discussion, if as I suspect there is not support for the pics usage in the infobox then I would like to correct the fair use rational, you might read the discussion differently and I would appreciate your comment, it seems to make discussion and RFCs a waste of time if discussion stopped over three weeks ago and no one can be bothered to close it. thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 12:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I'd say that there is no consensus from this RFC. Some say remove the image altogether, some say put it in the infobox and some say put it in the arrest section, but none of these opinions represents a clear consensus. At any rate, the current FUR also supports the current placement, so I see no pressing need for a change.  Sandstein  22:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Do you assert that there is support for your fair use rationale? I personally don't and as such I want to correct it, also the fact that the picture is not in current usage in the info box disputes your rationale, as such to reflect current usage and no consensus for your rationale I want to correct it, do you object to my doing that? Off2riorob (talk) 23:22, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I am just going to boldly revert your unsupported fair use claim, if you feel that there is support for your infobox rationale then feel free to revert. Off2riorob (talk) 23:29, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Change of name?

I'm rather surprised that someone thinks I should change my username after already spending a year and a half here at Wikipedia (July 2009) without any problem. Nicknames are just nicknames, Sandstein, they don't have to mean what they state. If Wiki users don't change their names into "Administrator 1", "Administrator 2", "Administrator 3" etc. after they become Administrators, then I think the same shouldn't be applied on me.--Justice and Arbitration (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Alpha Beta Gaga

It would appear that your recent "slap on the wrists"[4] for Alpha Beta Gaga[5] did not garner the expected result.

User:Alpha Beta Gaga removed the references on the article Sari Gelin[6], but even before doing that he/she posts on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey about how I am working for ASALA or PKK.[7].

Another accusation made by User:Alpha Beta Gaga;"500.000 turkish civilians killed by armenian terrorists and the users like Kansas bear are making laugh after this tragedy."[8]. --Kansas Bear (talk) 13:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

A similar statement made by anon IP:94.54.228.174 on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey[9][10], would indicate User:Alpha Beta Gaga is most likely a sockpuppet of a blocked user. --Kansas Bear (talk) 13:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Here's another sockpuppet[11]. --Kansas Bear (talk) 18:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I am asking Alpha Beta Gaga to respond to this.  Sandstein  22:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

user Kansas Bear has some problems. He sent a private message to me. He said he will block my wikipedia account just because im Turkish and he said he doesnt want to see any Turkish people in wikipedia. he is against Turkish existence in wikipedia. i have no words. Just look his/her contributions. He always makes contributions agaist Republic of Turkey or Turkish people. how can i protest him in here wikipedia? any opinion?--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 15:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

his contributions must be categorized as "racism" or internet hate crime. i really want to know if wikipedia has any policy about this situation?--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 15:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

he blocked many people who defend Turkish folk, instruments and culture.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I could testify that Kanas Bear is one of the best users in Wikipedia who constantly undoes various ip vandalisms which usually trace to a couple of countries. The charges made by Alpha Beta Gaga is definitely bogus. The history of Kansas Bear shows exactly the type of Wikipedia users that are needed for Wikipedia. He constantly confronts vandalism emanating from ultra-nationalists type edits. The fact is certain countries and their education system emphasize racism, bogus history and ultra-nationalism (rather than normal patriotic feelings). Slowly this sort of mentality exposes itself as time passes. So wikipedia will always have a problem with such users. I would rather not get into details, but it is clear which countries those are by checking the ips. Kansas Bear should be praised for confronting the vandalism of such users. Actually he should be an admin for his good work. However, I really wish admins stop showing leniency towards such users as Alpha Beta Gaga or users who try to cry wolf when they do not have sufficient arguments. Instead of bringing arguments, such users simply cry "racism" (which is baseless accusation) in order to push their unscientific theories. Thank you. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

All those edits by Kansas Bear are correct. They are either undoing vandalism of users or following the manual of style per WP:WTA. Now the accusation of "Anti-X bigotery" is crying wolf and I hope it is dealt with. In other words, constant accusation of "anti-X" is an emotional ploy (when a person has run out of arguments) in order to give execuse to vandalism and original research. I hope admins really stop the users who commits vandalism with serious actions. Specially worst are the types who commit vandalism and when they are caught, they have nothing but accusing others with hallow emotional slogans. --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Kansas Bear has problem with all Turkish people. This is real. He hates a nation, a country. He thinks Turkish people are monsters, evils. But as a bloodthirsty Turk, i never insulted any nation in my lifetime. I never suported any kind of terrorist organiastions. I never changed real things into fake ones. But Kansas Bear does. This is your job, if you shut your eyes to him, you would be the next one.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 20:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, I have heard enough. Alpha Beta Gaga, your inflammatory conduct with respect to Kansas Bear must stop. It is not acceptable, per WP:NPA, to accuse other editors of belonging to terrorist organizations, or of hating a whole people, or of committing hate crimes, and so forth. In addition, your contributions show that your contributions are essentially limited to advancing your particular nationalist point of view. Editing in this manner is not compatible with Wikipedias principles and policies. Consequently, as an arbitration enforcement action, per WP:ARBAA2#Amended Remedies and Enforcement, you are topic-banned (see WP:TBAN) from everything to do with Armenia and Armenians for the duration of six months. In addition, as a normal administrator action, you are indefinitely blocked for your incredibly severe personal attacks. Any administrator may unblock you, in response to an unblock request (see WP:GAB), if they are convinced that you understand what you did wrong and that you will not do it again. This sanction should not be construed as an endorsement of misconduct, if any, by Kansas Bear; but your diffs do not on their face demonstrate anything more than content disagreements.  Sandstein  21:03, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
