Please use this page only to:

request administrative action against editors violating a remedy (not merely a principle) or an injunction in an Arbitration Committee decision, or a contentious topic restriction imposed by an administrator,
request contentious topic restrictions against previously alerted editors who engage in misconduct in a topic area designated as a contentious topic,
request page restrictions (e.g. revert restrictions) on pages that are being disrupted in topic areas designated as contentious topics, or
appeal arbitration enforcement actions (including contentious topic restrictions) to uninvolved administrators.

For all other problems, including content disagreements or the enforcement of community-imposed sanctions, please use the other fora described in the dispute resolution process. To appeal Arbitration Committee decisions, please use the clarification and amendment noticeboard.

Only autoconfirmed users may file enforcement requests here; requests filed by IPs or accounts less than four days old or with less than 10 edits will be removed. All users are welcome to comment on requests except where doing so would violate an active restriction (such as an extended-confirmed restriction). If you make an enforcement request or comment on a request, your own conduct may be examined as well, and you may be sanctioned for it. Enforcement requests and statements in response to them may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs, except by permission of a reviewing administrator. (Word Count Tool) Statements must be made in separate sections. Non-compliant contributions may be removed or shortened by administrators. Disruptive contributions such as personal attacks, or groundless or vexatious complaints, may result in blocks or other sanctions.

To make an enforcement request, click on the link above this box and supply all required information. Incomplete requests may be ignored. Requests reporting diffs older than one week may be declined as stale. To appeal a contentious topic restriction or other enforcement decision, please create a new section and use the template {{Arbitration enforcement appeal}}.

Appeals and administrator modifications of contentious topics restrictions

The Arbitration Committee procedures relating to modifications of contentious topic restrictions state the following:

All contentious topic restrictions (and logged warnings) may be appealed. Only the restricted editor may appeal an editor restriction. Any editor may appeal a page restriction.

The appeal process has three possible stages. An editor appealing a restriction may:

ask the administrator who first made the contentious topic restrictions (the "enforcing administrator") to reconsider their original decision;
request review at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard ("AE") or at the administrators' noticeboard ("AN"); and
submit a request for amendment ("ARCA"). If the editor is blocked, the appeal may be made by email.

Appeals submitted at AE or AN must be submitted using the applicable template.

A rough consensus of administrators at AE or editors at AN may specify a period of up to one year during which no appeals (other than an appeal to ARCA) may be submitted.

Changing or revoking a contentious topic restriction

An administrator may only modify or revoke a contentious topic restriction if a formal appeal is successful or if one of the following exceptions applies:

The administrator who originally imposed the contentious topic restriction (the "enforcing administrator") affirmatively consents to the change,^[a] or is no longer an administrator;^[b] or
The contentious topic restriction was imposed (or last renewed) more than a year ago and:
- the restriction was imposed by a single administrator, or
- the restriction was an indefinite block.

A formal appeal is successful only if one of the following agrees with revoking or changing the contentious topic restriction:

a clear consensus of uninvolved administrators at AE,
a clear consensus of uninvolved editors at AN,
a majority of the Arbitration Committee, acting through a motion at ARCA.

Any administrator who revokes or changes a contentious topic restriction out of process (i.e. without the above conditions being met) may, at the discretion of the Arbitration Committee, be desysopped.

Standard of review
On community review

Uninvolved administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard ("AE") and uninvolved editors at the administrators' noticeboard ("AN") should revoke or modify a contentious topic restriction on appeal if:

the action was inconsistent with the contentious topics procedure or applicable policy (i.e. the action was out of process),
the action was not reasonably necessary to prevent damage or disruption when first imposed, or
the action is no longer reasonably necessary to prevent damage or disruption.

On Arbitration Committee review

Arbitrators hearing an appeal at a request for amendment ("ARCA") will generally overturn a contentious topic restriction only if:

the action was inconsistent with the contentious topics procedure or applicable policy (i.e. the action was out of process),
the action represents an unreasonable exercise of administrative enforcement discretion, or
compelling circumstances warrant the full Committee's action.

^ The administrator may indicate consent at any time before, during, or after imposition of the restriction.
^ This criterion does not apply if the original action was imposed as a result of rough consensus at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, as there would be no single enforcing administrator.

Appeals and administrator modifications of non-contentious topics sanctions

The Arbitration Committee procedures relating to modifications and appeals state:

Appeals by sanctioned editors

Appeals may be made only by the editor under sanction and only for a currently active sanction. Requests for modification of page restrictions may be made by any editor. The process has three possible stages (see "Important notes" below). The editor may:

ask the enforcing administrator to reconsider their original decision;
request review at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard ("AE") or at the administrators’ noticeboard ("AN"); and
submit a request for amendment at the amendment requests page ("ARCA"). If the editor is blocked, the appeal may be made by email through Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee (or, if email access is revoked, to arbcom-enwikimedia.org).

Modifications by administrators

No administrator may modify or remove a sanction placed by another administrator without:

the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or
prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" below).

Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped.

Nothing in this section prevents an administrator from replacing an existing sanction issued by another administrator with a new sanction if fresh misconduct has taken place after the existing sanction was applied.

Administrators are free to modify sanctions placed by former administrators – that is, editors who do not have the administrator permission enabled (due to a temporary or permanent relinquishment or desysop) – without regard to the requirements of this section. If an administrator modifies a sanction placed by a former administrator, the administrator who made the modification becomes the "enforcing administrator". If a former administrator regains the tools, the provisions of this section again apply to their unmodified enforcement actions.

Important notes:

For a request to succeed, either

(i) the clear and substantial consensus of (a) uninvolved administrators at AE or (b) uninvolved editors at AN or

(ii) a passing motion of arbitrators at ARCA

is required. If consensus at AE or AN is unclear, the status quo prevails.

While asking the enforcing administrator and seeking reviews at AN or AE are not mandatory prior to seeking a decision from the committee, once the committee has reviewed a request, further substantive review at any forum is barred. The sole exception is editors under an active sanction who may still request an easing or removal of the sanction on the grounds that said sanction is no longer needed, but such requests may only be made once every six months, or whatever longer period the committee may specify.
These provisions apply only to contentious topic restrictions placed by administrators and to blocks placed by administrators to enforce arbitration case decisions. They do not apply to sanctions directly authorized by the committee, and enacted either by arbitrators or by arbitration clerks, or to special functionary blocks of whatever nature.
All actions designated as arbitration enforcement actions, including those alleged to be out of process or against existing policy, must first be appealed following arbitration enforcement procedures to establish if such enforcement is inappropriate before the action may be reversed or formally discussed at another venue.

Information for administrators processing requests

Thank you for participating in this area. AE works best if there are a variety of admins bringing their expertise to each case. There is no expectation to comment on every case, and the Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) thanks all admins for whatever time they can give.

A couple of reminders:

Before commenting, please familiarise yourself with the referenced ArbCom case. Please also read all the evidence (including diffs) presented in the AE request.
When a request widens to include editors beyond the initial request, these editors must be notified and the notifications recorded in the same way as for the initial editor against whom sanctions were requested. Where some part of the outcome is clear, a partial close may be implemented and noted as "Result concerning X".
Enforcement measures in arbitration cases should be construed liberally to protect Wikipedia and keep it running efficiently. Some of the behaviour described in an enforcement request might not be restricted by ArbCom. However, it may violate other Wikipedia policies and guidelines; you may use administrative discretion to resolve it.
More than one side in a dispute may have ArbCom conduct rulings applicable to them. Please ensure these are investigated.

Closing a thread:

Once an issue is resolved, enclose it between {{hat}} and {{hab}} tags. A bot should archive it in 7 days.
Please consider referring the case to ARCA if the outcome is a recommendation to do so or the issue regards administrator conduct.
You can use the templates {{uw-aeblock}} (for blocks) or {{AE sanction}} (for other contentious topic restrictions) to give notice of sanctions on user talk pages.
Please log sanctions in the Arbitration enforcement log.

Thanks again for helping. If you have any questions, please post on the talk page.

Editors commented in the RfC about suspects to be WP:PUBLICFIGURE but still not accepting it (5)

Bludgeoning the process users told him to be concise but continues to create walls of texts making difficult for editors to have a say (8, 9)

Previously given a discretionary sanction for conduct in the area of conflict (diff, diff)

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

I have previously worked with User:Bookku over Feminism related articles and was ready to discuss the additions to 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault and expected him to assume good faith on my behalf but he made it quite a dispute. Since the start of discussion he continuously blamed me for victim blaming even though I clarified multiple times that I do not deny the happening of incident but there are other things that needs a inclusion for balancing the article and neutrality. He was not ready to accept the inclusion based on WP:BLPPUBLIC and making WP:OR and WP:SYNTH based arguments. He was also not ready to accept the other editor view who came on his notice to some project but held a vague RfC (as called by editors there) where most editors opined the suspects to be Public Figures for the purpose. He still did not accep their views and wilfully brings WP:NBIO to be criteria to include someone's name in the article which is criteria for a person to have separate article and was told about it. Bludgeoning the discussion by bringing irrelevant things to the discussion and creating walls of texts for which a couple of editors requested him to be concise but seems like he always does this as evident from his talkpage discussions. Although he calls himself South Asian gender studies student but his editing is mostly centred around pushing POV against a specific country and sometimes a community. He is even warned for shenanigans for an undue addition and singling out a specific country by User:TrangaBellam. He accepted his POV in his editing in the subject area contrary to Wikipedia is Not Advocacy and WP:NOTFORUM for which he was previously told as well. One more thing which is though a couple of years back happening but since we both were directly involved in a redirect discussion where I was called supporter of Pakistani deep state, promoting Armed Forces' narrative, wisher of soft censors by him.

In conclusion his behaviour seems like just lingering on the matter in an attempt to exhaust contributing editors by doing argument for the sake of argument, refusal to accept the other views and hell bent on resisting these changes and inability to understand the situation to follow policies and guidelines.

User:Robert McClenon thanks for your mediation offer, you have my full cooperation. Appologies that my response got longer in last discussion but before that I tried to be as concise as possible. He kept on making long replies for which I reluctantly have to reply but still he said to me that I'm not co-operating and his concerns remain unaddressed. In last thread I just combined my responses from above in a single post as I was not in a mood to reply again and again. USaamo ^(t@lk) 10:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Deepfriedokra since @User:Johnuniq himself saying that sources does say it, on Wikipedia content needs to be sourced. I believe its inclusion for reasons I explained here esp 2nd and 3rd point. In brief Police found the said audiotape from victim's associate phone as call recording which is quite likely. The same guy later turned to be the main accused as charged by her. Also audiotapes are not denied by any party and are admitted fact in proceedings since victim charged her associate on its basis and accused himself accepted the tapes reiterating it in his statement that victim wanted to extort money and I disagreed with her so she charged me.
Anyway AE is not a place to discuss content disagreements for which I've expressed my full cooperation to RM. But other than this dispute there are POV issues with Booku's editing as well which need some kind of action. For not accepting an RfC outcome I was partially topic banned from here two years back which I accept I was wrong and happened because of my inexperienced approach but I have no agenda of any sort. I would also like to mention observations of an experienced editor User:Fowler&fowler from an AN3 thread who worked alot for NPOV in ARBIPA area for a general reference. (13, 14, 15) USaamo ^(t@lk) 11:30, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aman.kumar.goel I have abided by my topic ban from articles of wars between India-Pakistan and I haven't even appealed it after two years for which I was eligible after 6 months because I don't want to edit in that area.(16) I edited The Kashmir Files once only thinking it to be a film article and had no further intention of editing it but when I was told by User:EdJohnston that the said page also cover my topic ban, I duly abided by it. You bringing that here seems to settle the left over scores against me like always. While you yourself have been the editor mostly up on nationalistic lines as noted by editors (17, 18) and your recent undue addition of similar pattern to 2022 Pakistan floods reverted by me and subsequent edit warring by relatively new accounts to add it reverted by other editors. (19, 20)
@User:Dennis Brown the said talk page has three discussions opened by Bookku and I remained as concise as possible in first two discussions but he kept on making long comments for which I reluctantly have to reply, still he said to me that I'm not co-operating and his concerns remain unaddressed. My response only got longer in last thread where I just combined my responses from above discussions in a single post as I was exhausted after seeing another long discussion by him. USaamo ^(t@lk) 13:44, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bookku, My body my choice and Mera Jism Meri Marzi was another case of WP:UNDUE from you since MJMM was an Urdu slogan with no history or usage outside Pakistan while Mbmc had a global usage where that was best suited. I explained that on talkpage before removal. And that redirect discussion was not a humorous essay but a serious discussion and there was no joke happening there. USaamo ^(t@lk) 10:48, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Inline with TarangaBellam's observation about Bookku's drafts; he started Draft:Pawri Ho Rahi Hai which was rejected at AFC and then he started RfC to determine the topic's notability against due process and as in his responses here too he stressed on RfCs to be the only way out(quite ironic of him since he's not accepting the RfC outcome in the ongoing dispute). I was not much opposed to the said draft but he wanted me to do it without discriminating between Pakistan India sources as South Asians only in discussion. In his article My body, my choice too he mentioned India Pakistan just as South Asia while mentioning all other countries with name. Well both Pakistan India comes in South Asia but they have distinct identities which comes first. Wikipedia policies and nationalities can't be simply ignored because he likes it this way.(21) USaamo ^(t@lk) 21:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Bookku

Requesting goodfaith. Pardon me for minor hiccups, spare for bad faith attacks on my talk page some of which I might not have replied. Over all I have been following WP policies to best of my understanding.
My re to TB. (1)
Previously covered a bio regarding Public spaces. Non–military mass sexual assault (Indian incidence draft pending for very old ref books) caught my editorial attention months before Pakistan incidence (2). Noted other global incidences @ Talk:M.S.A for later expansion.
Few other examples of my editorial neutrality: ( 3, 4, 5)
See time stamps of My body, my choice was started before USaamo's Mera Jism Meri Marzi. Mb,mc is global in nature not targeting Pakistan only. @ MJMM I added Indian feminist issues and USaamo and other Pakistani users removed reserving the article for Pakistan. Can provide many more editorial neutrality examples on request.
Dif cited by USaamo (6) itself is proof I am not personalizing but the case may be otherwise (7), In another cited case ( 8) I was in light-hearted passed comment with smiley at beginning to bring a point home (then didn't know One has to specifically note humor as humor, I request pardon for.) but that too did not intend to name/ target USaamo in any way. (I have other humor related drafts too.)

Assuring you all, I am very much here to build encyclopedia constructively. Pl. let me know any other/ more clarification needed. Thanks Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 04:29, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra First para in my user page is already clear, I can work in whatever area of cosmos available. While I put my agencies to utilization but I am not sure the description '..seeking to right great wrongs ..' fits me well in spite of POVs, since I don't believe WP is last resort.
I do have a long list of examples of my well sourced relevant and even very neutral content being deleted or declined and I have not made even any RfCs for most of them. This time too if it would not have been serious BLP violation (agreed of being BLP violation at least 4 users by now) I would not have taken to this length. In spite BLP rules would have allowed me to delete directly or create RfC for direct deletion I am going to great length to seek mediation and best possible accommodation.
You are admins, your decisions I would surely respect and accept. The concern is this time itself a user selectively clubbed multiple bad faith attacks and came here asking for admonishment of mine. You admonish me next time some one like them will have more authentic admonishment to add in their list and corner me. WP political realms can do very well without my contributions. How many nonBLP consistent contributors WP has on women's rights front?
Even if some content is believed to be WP:Undue why it can not go through content dispute resolution mechanism at respective talk pages and needs to be personalized and brought to this forum in this fashion is not entirely clear to me.
Your admonishments are not an issue, the users keep finding it easy unquestioned route to personalise issues in stead of preferring talk page resolutions of content disputes, concerns me more.
You all are experienced admins you must have gone through all such discussions earlier too, it is all for you to decide. I will respect and accept whatever you decide. Thanks Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 12:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Deepfriedokra I read through Aman.kumar.goel. For some one like me academically sourced edits like this ( 9) giving all sides can be example of ideal neutrality. But when narrative of every side gets affected, people tend to trade some strange adverse charges. Why all those content disputes can't go through RfCs ? rather than clubbing all strange misrepresentations and corner or oust uncomfortable neutral user.
- Why don't we have a condition every one bringing up charges over here prove neutrality of respective strangely charging users first. I know that inconvenient won't happen here.
- Is not that usual Wiki gaming. I understand admins too have to grow and live through same environment and systems. And I would understand whatever your decision you take. As of now I bow out. Many thanks Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 13:28, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@El C, The whole thing is simple content disputes and 'we don't like it' so 'we will take ARE shortcut' attitude of some users. If you do not agree with me I will take 72 hours break on my own. This is primarily case of a BLP policy violation in plain sight. Other 4 users seem to classify it as BLP policy violation 1a, 1b, 2 (This user says ".. still fails BLP on other grounds .."). If proper BLP protocol would have been followed, I would not have needed to write a single sentence. See time stamp @ Wikipedia talk:Dispute resolution noticeboard I said ".. It is close call. .. I am seeking guidance in writing briefly and systematically the way it happens in DRN ..".

Bookku (talk) 16:54, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also while I am very much following protocol mentioned WP:DDE guideline the accusing side seem to miserably fail the protocol mentioned in the guideline. Bookku (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Bookku (2)

This is additional subsection for ease of navigation and reading.

^[Humor] In Textbook case things seem going on lines, where mob ready to WP:BLUDGEON even a dead horse alleging WP:BLUDGEON. Group of triggered pupils in the school pressuring their hall monitors to clip the wings of fellow student alleging the student has flaws in completion of assignments (he simply writes what we don't like!) hence that student's behaviour ought to be considered bad and punished for. Every one would not understand such parallel or may not like it they might call names bully more, that is fate of that student. They can also take this opportunity to say that this user even does not understand Wikipedia is not forum or standup comedy stage and trail show must reach to it's decided **logical end. :) End of humor note.
If this ARE is the ultimate forum for content decisions then why not officially acknowledge that. And when big pile of charges is being brought by multiple users against a single one that single one need to get reasonable time to provide response at least for mental satisfaction.

Following is more for my own mental satisfaction and record.

I have already submitted whatever closing admins action would be I shall co operate constructively.
At times whether to respond back or not is quite catch-22. On one hand lectures being handed over to me being asked to be concise, to their long list now even funny charges being added, idk, intends to just mock me or subvert the system. Now usual content deletions of my sourced contributions like at even Non-vegetarian are being cited as great examples of my bad personal record. I am confused Idk whether to laugh or cry.
Here roughly 9 months before TB wrote to me ".. Love in Pakistan and Urdu Feminist Literature are fascinating (and valid) topics - if you need resources, give a ping. I will take up the article on forced conversion. .." But as soon as women's issues are covered at Public spaces their patriarchal structure and power on Wikipedia feels threatened.
Take google.com, books.google.com, scholar.google.com search for "Public spaces" "women" and various countries names including Pakistan, for many countries including Pakistan entire WP articles can be written and substantial part can be criticism, Let global women know why a sections dedicated to women issues in public spaces can not be there in Public spaces article and all women related issues are to be compulsively restricted to special for women articles. Why public spaces article can not be opened. Was there any restriction to begin with Pakistan and later adding others? Some one already covering those sources will naturally cover that. Show me existing article talk page RfC consensus against. Is that affecting male power structures on Wikipedia that I am being mansplained and dislodged. For that they bring me to ARE with repeating fake bad faith attacks of proven long duration sock accounts? (More details on request or visit later User:Bookku/ARE for updates)
One likes or not likes or not, as of this day 1969 Rabindra Sarobar Stadium en masse sexual violence controversy is first known on record non conflict time en masse sexual violence controversy with multiple reliable sources for notability. Idk why any one should be afraid that to be covered.
Examples after examples (17) like this one show my best possible editorial neutrality. With all humility I submit, if any one feels my content is not perfect then should have been discussed on article talk pages without resorting to personalization tactics.

I would request discussion closing admin to let me know if they want any specific content related clarifications from me for the baseless pile of them submitted by USaamo AKG and TB. Any detail logical scrutiny will prove most of that to be just frivolous much of it making mountains out of molehills intending to smear and hound for their own POVs being hurt in some way. As such I shall update my detail submission with detail study at User:Bookku/ARE as time permits me.
Last but not least, in any case, let me wish best luck to ongoing hounding and synchronized symphonies for times to come. I repeat I have already submitted whatever closing admins action would be I shall co operate constructively.

Statement by Bookku (3)

The latest reply of T.B. 18 shows continuation of unnecessary diatribe proves their WP:IDONTLIKETHEM strategy, to respond or not is quite catch 22 to me. If I don't respond they shall continue take ARE forum and Admin confidence for granted, continue bypassing regular content dispute mechanism by making blatant misrepresentations here, not only for me but multitude of other users in times to come. If I respond admins will need to enter in detail content analysis and end up saying detail content analysis is not my job at this forum. This way TB and company seems to be manipulating and misusing ARE in plain sight.
Any ways topic is raised I address as brief as possible. If you do not want to take google search yourself, Ask @ WP:Reference desk/Humanities if they can find any other notable 'non conflict time en masse sexual violence controversy' before the Calcutta controversy. The day you find one, ignore my words and update the article Mass sexual assault for the same, I will be first to thank any one for any such efforts. If not then one ought to examine Calcutta controversy thoroughly and not just by selective reading. An autobiography or authorized biographies written by any one how those can be last word in themselves. How do you ignore what other reliable sources are saying just like that. The controversy had been covered by multiple reputable Indian print media and analysts. The quote TB is giving weight to, itself says, ".. and catcalls soon turned to more physical expressions and .. . Women too were allegedly molested.". Jyoti Basu's biography does not ignore controversy but includes it and you want to censor it?

Words 'alleged' and 'controversy' means this really happened as claimed or not we don't know. We Wikipedians can not sit on judgement, if reliable media and sources are covering it it has to be on Wikipedia. You are not supposed to sensor. Would you not consider what women parliamentarians said ?
".. On 14th April 1969 members of Lok Sabha debated various incidences and situation in West Bengal. In respect to Rabindra Sarobar stadium incidence Congress leaders namely Sucheta Kripalani, Sharda Mukherji and A. K. Sen, former Law Minister, criticized unconstrained hooliganism at the Rabindra Sarobar stadium in which many women were molested and subjected to every forms of humiliation. .."
".. The issue came again in Lok Sabha on 10 th December 1970 Ila Pal Chaudhari asked who was author of the Rabindra Sarovar incident? Jyotirmoy Basu said a High court judge has given lie to that. Ila Pal Choudhury responded back saying it is it is a heart-rending; women came to her crying; they showed their clothes which had been torn. Pal Chaudhari says, in reality, commission of inquiry headed by the High Court judge turned out to be a farce since it was not allowed to function freely, because witnesses and the lawyers including including Pal Chaudhari's own counsel were intimidated with grave threats as none will be left alive in their family if any one gives evidence. .." ~ Ila Pal Choudhury * Lok Sabha is India's parliament and person with similar name 'Jyotirmoy Basu' is parliamentarian of Jyoti Basu's party. You don't know Jyoti Basu was not chief minister but just home minister then. His then Chief Minister Atulya Ghosh himself publicly protested against own ministers and later resigned.
At least one contemporary leftist Calcutta newspaper too criticized incidence. Another leftist investigative journalist from another Indian state traveled to Calcutta plays down with words rapes not likely to have happened but agrees incidence of molestation likely to have taken place. Then other news papers including Indian Express with then reputable editor Frank Moraes, Reputable Bengali Journalist Barun Sengupta and at least one research paper of North Bengal university discusses the controversy. You are free to deny what you did not see yourself, how you can deny notability of controversy widely covered in contemporary media and books?

Do you want all those paragraphs and references at this forum itself or you will sincerely address the topic looking for old references including those you don't like and discussing at appropriate talk pages first.

It is whose mistake I had to type wall of text here itself. Will you blame me for providing logical credible presentation too?

I am not used to personalizing content disagreements in this way, though I do have more proofs against such questionable maneuvers. "I repeat, manipulation and misuse of this forum to oust unwanted content and contributors is quite frustrating. Problem is not me getting unfairly punished likelihood of other genuine users too may keep suffering concerns me much more." (Please read again 10000 times.)

Statement by TB

Will make a statement in support of a logged warning. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:14, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Booku is essentially trying to right great wrongs - that is what I perceived of his rambling reply to RegentsPark's AC/DS alert, prodded by me. Such a political stance is not condemnable —much less, blockable— in itself and is the raison d'être of acclaimed Wiki-projects like Women In Red etc.

However, as the mindboggling edits on Public Space (diff-ed by Johnuniq), Drowning (link), and Tourism in Pakistan (link) show, Booku either does not understand our core content policies concerning DUEness of content or chooses to flout them intentionally. Besides, there are inane article creations like Superstitions in Sikh societies (check history) filled with dubious sources and dubious content derived from illogical synthesis. To compound things, their walls of text are mostly irrelevant to the issue at hand, makes for painful reading, and only serves to digress.

All in all, I think a good case is made for an indefinite TBan, at least from all topics connected to Pakistan, and women. Alongside a logged warning that any further shenanigan will extend the Topic Ban to include India. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:56, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rosguill, thanks for the query. I meant the latter option (union); not certain that my choice of punctuation was appropriate. The intersection won't work - see RegentsPark's evidence of strange drafts lying in his user-space.

I express my firm disagreement to Deepfriedokra's and Dennis Brown's idea of a time-limited TBan. This is not some garden-variety case of edit-warring to necessitate a cooling-off penalty! As RegentsPark — one of the few administrators who patrols S. Asian topics — notes, there is a borderline CIR issue at play and it is irrational to expect the problems to go away in a span of few months! Booku has been here for years and he has been made aware of these issue by multiple editors (see evidence by AKG). My proposed scope of topic ban is quite narrow and if Booku can edit competently in other areas, I won't oppose an appeal as and when it is filed. TrangaBellam (talk) 13:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Came across Booku's edits at Non-vegetarian and yet again, a fundamental disregard for NPOV, DUE etc. Much of those additions have been removed by others. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will add another (the last; please bear with me) evidence and expand in some detail, which exemplifies everything that is problematic with Booku's editing. Over the course of a few many edits, Booku added the following paragraph in wikivoice to Rabindra Sarobar Stadium:

Analysis

In the first quarter of 1968 at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, a scheduled musical night of large gathering, called 'Ashok Kumar Nite', failed to take place due to faulty amplifiers; mob went unruly, women attending the gathering were molested and sexually abused en masse. [...]

Now, what do the (three) cited sources say?

The first source is the (unofficial) mouthpiece of the political party, which governed the state during the incident. I won't rely on it for anything and even then, it contains a single (indirect) reference:

There is still an enquiry in progress on certain reported incidents in Rabindra Sarobar stadium in July when there was to be held what was called Ashok Kumar "nite", in aid of the reputed Bombay actor. Brassieres were alleged to be all over the place, as the whole show broke up in chaos.

The second source is a contemporary speech by Hem Barua, a legislator from an opposition party, belonging to another state (Assam). He taunts the Government of West Bengal to launch an enquiry on the incident, albeit to deflect from a discussion that centered on another issue (firing on workers who striked):

If you are so enthusiastic about holding inquiries [on the firing], why don't you hold an inquiry into the incident that happened in Rabindra Sarobar Stadium where women were made naked, women had to return home in a state of nakedness? Then what happened, Sir? After this discovery, a large quantity of torn sarees and torn brassiers were found there on the spot. The incident at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium was a ghastly incident and I want to say that, instead of holding a parallel inquiry into the Cossipore firing incident, the State Government, if it is so enthusiastic about holding an inquiry, can hold an inquiry into the incident at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium where women were humiliated and insulted. Even today I hear - this is my report; I do not know how far this is correct - that 30 women are missing because of this incident. Whatever that my be, that was a ghastly scene or a ghastly spectacle and I say that an inquiry should be held into it.

It shall be obvious to not rely on partisan political tirades, though they might be true.

Now comes the relatively-decent third source - a biography (albeit, official) of the-then Deputy Chief Minister by an academic:

The first major problem he had to deal with occurred in April 1969 and threatened to tarnish the reputation of his ministry. A musical soirée, Ashok Kumar Night, at Rabindra Sarobar stadium tumed ugly. The immediate cause of the audience's restiveness was faulty amplifiers. Boos and catcalls soon turned to more physical expressions and an angry audience started to throw chairs at the stage. Women too were allegedly molested.
The police, who were attacked with grenades, crackers and other missiles, were compelled to open fire and fifty people were injured. The media played up the incident and reported several deaths, claiming that corpses had been fished out of the adjoining lake. Maverick politician Raj Narain, ever willing to fish in troubled waters, issued an official statement saying that the police found two truckloads of women's undergarments. [compare with Hem Barua's speech.]
At the time, Basu was in New Delhi where a deputation of women belonging to the Jana Sangh came to meet him to protest against the incident. In reality, the audience had turned unruly and had completely ignored the police orders to stay calm. The police action was the only way to restore order. The United Front government ordered a judicial enquiry into the incident. By now the Congress Party, aided by the Centre, as well as some members of the ruling front itself, had begun efforts to dislodge the United Front government. Accusations of the misuse of government machinery were voiced and the United Front was accused of being dictatorial and non-cooperative. The Centre fanned the flames.

Do you see anything of this in the original paragraph, added by Booku despite the citation? I leave it to you to decide whether Booku is plainly incompetent or .... TrangaBellam (talk) 15:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Robert McClenon

I became aware of the dispute over 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault and of Bookku on 11 September, when Bookku posted to the DRN talk page asking for mediation; see Wikipedia_talk:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Mediation_help_request_@_article_talk_page. The posts of both Bookku and USaamo are too long, didn't read in detail. Bookku was saying that they would be requesting assistance at DRN and at BLPN. I advised Bookku against forum shopping and said to file in one place. Bookku replied and said they would also need help from other pages. It appears that Bookku is running around in a panic and not helping things. Both Bookku and USaamo need to be civil and concise. I haven't researched the details of the article dispute. If there is a content dispute, I am willing to try to mediate, but will impose word limits and other restrictions. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

This may be a restatement of the obvious, but if a topic ban is imposed, I will not be mediating a dispute over an area where the subject is not permitted to edit. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:28, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Aman.kumar.goel

@Deepfriedokra and Johnuniq USaamo remains topic banned from conflicts related to India and Pakistan,[1] and has violated that topic ban as recently as May 2022.[2] USaamo treated allegations as facts on this diff and wrote it in wikivoice. That was a BLP violation. On talk page, USaamo tells Bookku to "be concise in discussions as your comments are bludgeoning the process by creating walls of text and are a cause of exhaustion for editors"[3] but USaamo himself wrote walls of texts.[4][5]

Topic ban of USaamo should be extended to cover whole ARBIPA.

Bookku is not understanding about the nature of their POV pushing. He has been already warned over WP:UNDUE, NotAForum, bludgeoning in the recent months. However, the activity of Bookku on Public Space,[6] and 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault[7][8] shows he has ignored these warnings and above message confirms great chances of similar disruption.

Bookku should be topic banned as well. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 12:06, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replies from both editors, Bookku and USaamo, to my above comment reinforces my view that both of them need a topic ban to cover whole WP:ARBIPA. They simply don't see what is wrong with their own editing. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 22:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awaiting statement by TG. Noted Robert's statement. Hopefully, this can be resolved without AE action.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:46, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Willing to go with a logged warning per TG, and in hopes of dispute resolution with Robert. Unless someone has a better idea. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:07, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Bookku I'm afraid it is glaringly obvious you've brought a personal point of view and possibly an 0ff-Wiki agenda into the encyclopedia. Your latest post makes me feel that while you are capable of leaving that agenda out of your editing, you have at times chosen to include it. I'm willing to "admonish only" if it is clear you will cease and desist from the POV pushing moving forward. USaamo, it looks like your edits have been unfortunate as well. I echo what Johnuniq has said below. More concise and clear information is always useful. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TrangaBellam: I thought you would be arguing for a warning. Now I must reëvaluate. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:04, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Read it all, and I support Dennis Brown's short-duration (about 1 month) TBAN proposal. The intersection of Pakistan and women/feminism seems a good starting point. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:24, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@TrangaBellam: Point taken. Will defer to my colleagues on indef vs time limited. The time limited seems a happy middle ground between a warning and an indef. @Bookku: If we go with short duration TBAN, please see it as a boon and an opportunity. If we must address this matter again, the result might be more than a indefinite duration TBAN, considering issues TG has raised. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:59, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will ask my colleague El C to close this. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Bookku added a section on Pakistan at Public space (diff). That was totally WP:UNDUE in that article and indicative of someone seeking to right great wrongs. However, USaamo's edit at 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault (diff) with claims of "alleged audiotapes" (with a handy ^dubious tag!) in the lead is worse (yes, the sources said that but don't add "dubious" material to the lead merely to repeat gossip—how likely is it that someone has an audio recording of a conversation showing criminal intent on their phone?). I would like to see if there is further commentary that might enlighten us regarding whether something stronger than a logged warning is needed. I agree that other editors need relief from walls of text. Johnuniq (talk) 03:42, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Couple of points: Aman.kumar.goel, does raise some interesting questions, that this may be the pot calling the kettle black, but more importantly, I want to point out that writing one or two TLDR comments is not the same thing as WP:BLUDGEONing (itself a subset of WP:DE), as bludgeoning is a pattern of doing so, usually in the same thread or topic. From what I see, this looks like someone trying to Right Great Wrongs, and while a logged warning is ok, I guess, I get the feeling we will be back here soon enough. This is where I differ from my compatriots, and think timed tbans can be effective, as a month off a subject but with the promise of being able to return may provide incentive. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:14, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to formally weigh in on this case based on past interactions with editors party to it, but I do have a clarifying question: TrangaBellam, is your intended suggestion for a TBAN of the topical intersection of Pakistan and women, or of separate TBANs for topics pertaining to Pakistan and topics pertaining to women? _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:25, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I support some sort of topic ban. TrangaBellam brought Bookku to my attention and a look at their contributions shows a focus, not necessarily misplaced, on womens rights issues in India and Pakistan. However, the steamroller approach demonstrated in Public space, Talk:2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault, Draft:Hermeneutics of feminism in Sikhism, other declined drafts, and the rambling response to my templated notice are problematic and borderline WP:CIR. Perhaps a topic ban on topics related to women? A timed one like Dennis Brown is suggesting? That might give them some space to explore other topics, get comfortable with incremental editing, and then return to the gender area which appears to be of significant interest to them?--RegentsPark (comment) 23:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. On responding to an ECP edit request, I came cross this hard-to-figure-out discussion. I'm beginning to think that we may have a CIR issue.--RegentsPark (comment) 17:58, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
DFO asked me to close this, but I probably owe closure to WP:AE#Jargo Nautilus before any other report on this board. But I'll make 2 notes, a general one and one specific to this complaint.

First, the general one: my view on timed TBANs is that rarely, if ever, they're useful. Could this be that one rare exception? I suppose it's possible, but there would have to be a good reason.

My 2nd note that's specific to this complaint concerns its length. Which is to say: disregard for this board's 500-word limit rule. As it stands, USaamo and TrangaBellam each exceed it by more than double, while Bookku by over 4 times. So I don't know what to do about that at this point, as it's a bit late in the day. Still, if parties and reviewers really want fresh eyes on this, then I dunno, maybe work to collapse...? Good luck! El_C 14:23, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sanction or remedy to be enforced: WP:ARBEE

Diffs of edits that violate this sanction or remedy, and an explanation how these edits violate it

12 September 2022 "Clearly, both of you are trying to push some kind of an agenda" & "both of you guys came into this discussion without sources and without a good reason, so you decided to start this fake debate over nothing in order to waste everyone's time."
12 September 2022 Re above diff, editor asked to be WP:CIVIL and avoid casting WP:ASPERSIONS about other editors.

Response to this request "Notice that this entire discussion has basically been a SOAPBOX on behalf of you and Gitz" & "You made a survey in order to push your changes". I did not start the RFC and my first edit to the page, here was made after the RFC had started, so this accusation is completely false in my case, @Gitz6666: may speak for themselves. followed by "Nope, I accused you guys of trying to push a POV without sources...The problem is that both of you, especially Gitz, took it upon yourselves to escalate this ridiculous discussion into an entire RfC, which was unwarranted. We don't need RfCs over something as trivial as what you guys are discussing." Again, completely false accusation as already stated.

14 September 2022 Editor asked to "Please mind WP:PA, WP:CIV and WP:TALK. Please also read WP:BLUDGEON." Gitz may comment on this as it their talk page warning.
14 September 2022 Request on user talk page to focus on content and not on editors.

Here I state that the RFC has a proper RFCbefore and editor Gitz also explains why the RFC was appropriate and the response was Bludgeon 1 & Bludgeon 2 and continued in similar vein with further misconceived allegations about the appropriateness of the RFC process as mentioned in my additional comments below and leading to the following request on the user talk page to desist.

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

In response to comments made by myself and another editor at their talk page, editor in both cases did not respond, deleted the comment and requested that no further comments be made at their talk page. A simple glance over the contents of Talk:Donetsk People's Republic#RfC on the legal status of the Donetsk and Luhansk Peoples’ Republics suffices to show the extent of WP:BLUDGEON. Not only are editors comments a significant proportion of total comments, a large proportion of the material consists of unsupported opinion and unnecessary repetition of points made previously. At a very late stage in the RFC, editor has taken to asserting that the RFC is ill-posed, biased, inappropriate, wrong, etc and after the conversation starting here ("I am confident that any "proceedings" that you launch will be thoroughly ignored by the administrators. There is already at least one other user on this talk page who has had enough of your shenanigans."), I gave up and filed this request for enforcement.

@Jargo Nautilus: The number of times that you yourself, SelfStudier, and various other editors have launched personal attacks against myself and other editors is too many to count. Diffs please and I have been participating in an RfC, and SelfStudier has been behaving disruptively throughout its duration, Some of SelfStudier's comments over at Talk:DPR have been particularly disruptive, but I've refrained from deleting any of his comments at Talk:DPR again, diffs please.

I believe that this arbitration discussion is unnecessary. I have been participating in an RfC, and SelfStudier has been behaving disruptively throughout its duration. I feel no need to present any arguments. The facts speak for themselves. If the administrators have any questions, they can talk to me in person on my Talk Page or via email.

Extended content

Re: Mellk --> Bear in mind that the more random different things you cite, the more work that the admins have to do. When admins look at disruptive behaviour, they first look at what is happening right now in the current conversation, and they care less about whatever random issues are cited. The fact of the matter is that you've decided to barge into this discussion that has nothing to do with you, and you've started making accusations against me that have nothing to do with the core topic that is being discussed. If anything, your behaviour is disruptive. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 20:48, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra - Mellk is talking about both me and another user called "Colinmcdermott". Colin wrote a comment on Talk:Russia that was critical of the other editors there. I replied to this comment (I subsequently deleted my own comments). A little while later, an editor deleted the entire talk section that Colin had started. I objected to this because I didn't think it was fair that some editors could pick and choose which comments to delete from other editors. For example, if other users are allowed to delete mine and Colin's comments over at Talk:Russia, then does that make me allowed to delete some of SelfStudier's comments over at Talk:Donetsk_People's_Republic? Indeed, I've deleted SelfStudier's comments at my own talk page, but that's because I'm under the impression that I'm allowed to do that, because it's my own talk page. Some of SelfStudier's comments over at Talk:DPR have been particularly disruptive, but I've refrained from deleting any of his comments at Talk:DPR.Jargo Nautilus (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C - Thanks for your comments. I will try and heed your advice. My speaking style is usually polite, but considering the context, my comments were especially heated. In general, this entire discussion area is infuriating on a regular basis. I definitely need to meditate and breathe more so that I can write in a more calm and collected manner. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 22:13, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellk - The number of times that you yourself, SelfStudier, and various other editors have launched personal attacks against myself and other editors is too many to count. My own policy is to not delete ANY comments of other users, no matter how much I dislike them, with the caveat that I delete comments whenever I want at my own user page exclusively. Long story short, unless you can prove beyond all reasonable doubt that a certain comment warrants deletion, then I would highly recommend against doing it, because there will probably be someone who is opposed to that deletion. Furthermore, deletion is very unhelpful for dispute resolution since it only serves to make the opponent even more angry and upset than they already were beforehand. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 22:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellk - You have made personal attacks against me on multiple occasions, to differing levels of severity. I'm not going to cite them because I have no interest in charging you, but I will advise you that the perception of a personal attack can be subjective. For example, you have accused me of making threats in situations when I was actually talking to myself and not to anyone else in particular. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellk - This discussion is clearly going nowhere, and we've already talked about this before. Your interpretation of that talk section is entirely inaccurate. And you need to take into account the fact that most of the talk section has been occupied by conversations between myself and another user, which have been entirely civil. Indeed, that other user even went so far as to praise me for being civil after you wrote some scathing commentary about me that was off-topic in that thread. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the comment from the other user at my talk page wherein he praises me for being civil. Diff Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:08, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellk - I got exactly what I wanted. I asked any Russians passing by to talk to me so I could see if they were completely under Putin's mind control or still had some agency left. Clearly, one person replied to me, and he is someone of Russian ancestry who holds pro-Russian views. Even though some of his commentary was a bit extreme, he did seemingly demonstrate an understanding of human values that are somewhat similar to my own. The caveat is that this person lives in the United States, so I'm still yet to have a similar discussion with a Russian living in Russia. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:14, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C - The evidence of Mellk's personal attacks against me are self-evident in his own comments and citations. Indeed, both SelfStudier and Mellk seem to have a habit of citing evidence that makes both their opponent and themself look equally bad. Mellk's first attack against me occurred when he commented on my talk page. Instead of leaving a warning in a new section, he chose to leave the warning in a pre-existing section, and then he went on a rant in a series of subsequent edits about how he was justified in doing this due to an alleged problem with the pre-existing talk section. I don't even need to cite him doing this before because he's been doing this again right in this very thread. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:30, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C - Usually, warnings should be left in a new talk section. Generally speaking, I don't appreciate warnings anyway, so I've deleted some of the warnings that I've recently received from SelfStudier and Gitz that felt particularly hostile, threatening, and unwarranted. However, the way that Mellk left a warning on my talk page was particularly inappropriate because he took it upon himself to disrupt a pre-existing conversation between myself and another user, and he started threatening me there. Effectively, I don't regard Mellk's initial comment to be an official warning because he presented it in an inappropriate manner. I regard Mellk's initial comment as a blatant threat, as opposed to a "thinly-veiled" threat, whatever that's supposed to mean. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:41, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C - Here is the first edit 1 wherein Mellk leaves a warning in my talk page not in a new section but instead in a pre-existing section. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:El C - In both the first citation (above) and this second citation 2, Mellk alludes to an alleged previous indefinite block that I received, allegedly over the "harassment" policy. For starters, this means that Mellk has been combing through my account's archives from up to two years into the past (indeed, the indef block occurred around November 2020, from what I recall). But, crucially, I will also point out that Mellk is mistaken about the reason for that indef block. At the time, I had been involved in an ANI case against myself, ironically wherein I had deleted another user's comment at an article's talk page on the basis of it being a personal attack. Simultaneously, I accidentally "outed" one of my friends from another website, and one of the administrators who was overseeing my case saw this action and decided to deus ex machina my case on the charge of "outing". I was inactive for months after that, but I eventually became unblocked with the help of my friend whom I had allegedly outed. He came to my defence and explained that I was being friendly, and that no malice had been intended. As such, I was unblocked. And, therefore, I was never indef blocked on the basis of harassment, unless you count the mistaken charge of outing as harassment. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 23:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You've said and done quite a lot things that I view as aggressive and offensive. But aside from that, maybe you need to let go of your ego a little, as do I. If I'm treating Wikipedia as a battlefield, well, apparently, so are you. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 01:34, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Chipmunkdavis - I have autism. I'm used to having each and every word that comes out of my mouth be scrutinized, because I'm apparently never talking in the "correct" way. But I will point out that nothing that you yourself have ever said is immune from criticism. So, you should be careful about accusing others of what can be easily interpreted about yourself. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 01:54, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gitz - I appreciate your comments. While I concede that I have a tendency to ramble and go off-topic, I believe that it is also problematic when people do things without a sufficient explanation. So, I'd rather have things be explained in 1000 words rather than in none at all (obviously, brevity is best). Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Chipmunkdavis - It is interesting that you seem to interpret the truth as a threat. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:14, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content

@User:El C - I struck through part of the other user's comment because it misquoted another user as saying something that he didn't.

In terms of the comments that I made towards HiLo, I believe that he made some racist edits back in 2014, which is why I commented in the archive (although I have discovered subsequently that I'm not supposed to edit archives). What HiLo did was to essentially completely revert a non-native English speaker's edits on the grounds of being poorly worded, even though the actual content was non-objectionable. I told HiLo that it was completely within his abilities as a native English speaker to copy-edit the text to improve it, rather than to delete everything that the user has contributed. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 17:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User: Deepfriedokra - I believe that I am capable of editing in this area. However, I might be too invested in getting the "correct" outcome. At the end of the day, more and more people are ignoring Wikipedia, so it is becoming less and less important. Somebody else might come and rectify the information that I've neglected. It doesn't really matter. I recall that Russia was trying to ban Wikipedia outright, so it might not matter at all at the end of the day. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 17:48, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've been absent from Wikipedia for several-months-long intervals, and no effects have been shown, whether positive or negative. My own life has never improved because of Wikipedia, and I don't believe that anyone else's life has either. When I have left Wikipedia, I have not felt that much was missing, except for maybe a few of the comrades I met along the way, that's it. So, I probably do have a battleground mentality, but that's more of a heat in the moment thing. At the end of the day, this entire website is largely inconsequential, so I'm not sure why I care so much about rectifying information aside from my autism. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 18:17, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:El C - Here are the relevant diffs, as I've posted them on my own user talk page.

This is the edit that I perceived as racist from User:HiLo48: [9]. He writes, in the edit summaries of the Russia article, Reverted. Sloppy English and POV additions. Take it to the talk page please., and he completely wipes out the edits made by User:Aleksd. Ostensibly, HiLo48 had cited two reasons for doing this, i.e. "sloppy English" and "POV additions". HiLo48 subsequently wipes out Aleksd's edits a second time, writing NO!! This may be justified, but not in that form. Please DISCUSS on the Talk page. Refusal to do so equates to vandalism, -- [10] -- wherein he makes reference to his previous edit summary, and he accuses Aleksd of vandalism.

In this Talk:Russia comment [11], HiLo48 writes, And perhaps you could seek some help with your English expression. As you have written your addition so far its just not acceptable..

In terms of language backgrounds, HiLo48 claims to be a native English speaker whereas Aleksd claims to be Eastern European. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:38, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@My very best wishes - To clarify, I have a "bias" against the Russian Federation regime, not against "Russians" in general. Indeed, my perspective on global affairs is generally very fair. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 14:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@User:El C - I am currently being harassed -- unprovoked, mind you -- by some random other Wikipedian whom, to my knowledge, I have never interacted with before. Please do something about this, thank you. [12] [13] Note: I have engaged with them, although I have attempted to be civil. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 18:43, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

^From what I can tell, the other user seems to believe that I am "bigoted" against Russians, due to the section on my talk page titled "Russians are mafia. Change my mind.", written on September 3, 2022. However, they seem to have missed the section higher up on the page titled "Public statement: Russians who are suffering under the Russian Federation regime, I am on your side", written on August 1, 2022.

Statement by Mellk

Unfortunately this editor has an issue with battleground behavior and despite various warnings, is unable to understand this. This as a result has caused disruption. On Talk:Russia, a user created a new section simply for personal attacks and casting aspersions; when this was removed by multiple users per TPG, JN kept restoring it[14][15] and made a new subsection about how he and the other user was being censored[16][17] and again making more walls of text on the talk page[18]. Then he makes a new section on his own talk page about how "Russians are mafia" and makes a vague threat related to this "censorship"[19], then again continues to restore the original personal attacks and the walls of text he made on Talk:Russia [20][21] and then continues on with personal attacks[22] and using the other user's talk page as his soapbox where he again makes personal attacks against "orcs" and "Ruzzkies" "censoring" him[23][24]. Still he continues to restore the text on Talk:Russia after another user removes it[25][26]. Again continues attacking editors on talk pages ("See you in Hell!")[27]. When I ask him to stop with any further personal attacks, he states that he has "no idea" what "Ruzzkies" means which he used earlier and then states "orc" is not a slur because it refers to Russian military only[28] and so when I ask him why he used it, he says it is because the other editors who he deems supports Russian war narrative is an "honorary soldier".[29] Mellk (talk) 20:34, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The diffs are from earlier in the month but gives some context and may be subject to standard administrative action.

Also, @Jargo Nautilus: please respond in your own section. Mellk (talk) 20:49, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jargo Nautilus: I have not made any personal attacks against you. I asked you to stop making personal attacks but you rejected this and tried to justify the comments you made, for example referring to other editors as "orcs" because they are an "honorary soldier", as mentioned earlier. Mellk (talk) 22:51, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jargo Nautilus: I asked you to not make vague threats. You wrote: Don't delete my comments or things will get messy[30]. I do not see how asking you to not make such comments is a personal attack, even if you did not mean to direct it at anyone. I was referring to your comments, not you personally. Mellk (talk) 22:59, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jargo Nautilus: You made a new section on your talk page saying "Russians are mafia" and asking if they have any humanity left. I asked you not to do this because it was inappropriate, even on your own talk page. Mellk (talk) 23:05, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jargo Nautilus: What I did was check the block log. Mellk (talk) 23:58, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: If you are referring to the editor who originally made the personal attacks on Talk:Russia whose comment JN kept restoring, then Colinmcdermott (who was blocked not long before that for personal attacks regarding the same article). I am not sure if deleting those comments was the best move, but I do not think JN's response (by making various kinds of personal attacks and walls of text) was appropriate here. Mellk (talk) 21:47, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: While I was not involved in the removal of comments in Talk:Russia, just wondering, could the original comment have been removed per WP:TPO, specifically "removing harmful posts" which mentions personal attacks? As well as being off-topic. Since I would imagine accusing other editors of working in troll factories would count as one.[31] Or it should have been collapsed. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 22:16, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Volunteer Marek

Oh god. Ok. There are FIVE diffs provided in the Diffs of edits that violate this sanction or remedy, and an explanation how these edits violate it. ONLY ONE of these diffs is an edit (a talk page comment) by the person who this report is about. The other FOUR are OTHER people ... just saying stuff. This diff is from the filer and, hilariously enough, it's level of of "incivility" is probably HIGHER than that that can be found in the one diff out of the five above that is from the subject.

This is about as spurious as a request can get. Volunteer Marek 20:55, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Aquillion

I do think that the sort of thing in the first diff needs to be discouraged a bit more strongly than it currently is; part of the reason so many WP:ACDS areas are so difficult to edit is because having WP:ASPERSIONS like that flung around without consequence encourages other editors to either retaliate (if they disagree) or to say similar things and generally treat others as bad-faith editors (if they agree), contributing to a broader WP:BATTLEGROUND / non-WP:AGF atmosphere. But clearly a single diff like that is insufficient to go straight to WP:AE - if we removed people for that there would be almost nobody left in WP:ACDS topic areas at all. Also, links to warnings are generally only useful if they show someone was informed that they were doing something wrong and then kept doing it afterwards. The key point is to establish that they're not listening and that this can't be settled by lesser means. Showing yourself warning them after the diff of their being aspersion-y, without showing any other problems after that, doesn't establish anything beyond the fact that you think their actions are bad, which is already self-evident from the fact that you're taking them to AE. --Aquillion (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Gitz6666

The main problem with Jargo Nautilus's contribution is the uncontainable flood of comments that they pour into the talk pages. That behaviour can be seen in Talk:Donetsk People's Republic: from 2 to 16 September, they made 91 edits to the RfC that I started; I'm quite talkative myself and I made 23 edits overall to that RfC. But see also Talk:Russian separatist forces in Donbas: from 13 August to 3 September they made 42 edits to the RM I started. I made 25 edits and I apologise for that: it's way too much. But JN's way of contributing to the discussion drags you into endless and unproductive back-and-forth, and I wouldn't have made my 23+25 comments if it wasn't for their 91+42, so I'm sensitive to the problem: it's a waste of time, is frustrating and it also makes it more difficult for other editors to join the discussion. Also Talk:International recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic shows the problem: from 2 August onwards, Michael Z stops replying to JN, but they continue to discuss in solitude for days and days building impassable walls of text. Obviously most of their comments are off-topic and WP:SOAPBOX, they have difficulties in complying with WP:TALK and WP:NOTFORUM and a tendency to WP:BLUDGEON the discussion. I don't know if this is sanctionable behaviour and I have no difficulty in AGF in this case, as I don't see any mean intentions, but it's objectively disruptive and is a problem that needs to be addressed somehow, either by the admins or by JN themselves. Final note: occasionally JN falls short of civility: [32] [33]. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 01:52, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@My very best wishes JN's willingness to discuss disagreements is actually part of the problem. Discussion is a working method here rather than a goal in itself. Willingness to discuss without willingness to compromise and build a consensus can be acceptable and even commendable in real life and on social media, but in Wikipedia is called WP:SEALIONING and is often seen as disruptive. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 13:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Chipmunkdavis

Talkpage interjections by JN disruptive, with talkpages treated as a place of polemic (eg. User talk:Jargo Nautilus). This is tricky to show clearly in 20 diffs, as it's a deluge of individual comments. They necro discussions and use talkpages for personal commentary (and sometimes add commentary to articles). Here is the start of 1,200 words starting with "I don't have any material/sources about this, just my thoughts". A related issue is adding a continuous serious of comments. The 1,200 words included that initial edit and five others. The edit history of this arbitration page is an example.

These personal opinions bludgeon conversations, see here where an RfC went from this to being doubled in length with off-topic opinion. Their opinion sometimes shifts into pure invective.

Most problematically, edits are seen as a battleground-style crusade [34][35][36]. They edit and move other people's comments. They leave passive agressive instructions/threats ([37][38][39][40][41]) and engage in direct harassment [42][43][44] (even editing archives). They address me with what seem to be dismissive nicknames they won't explain, and explicitly declare opponents.

I stress again this is a hard pattern to show through a small selection of diffs. These long series of entirely unsourced personal opinion edits end up on every talkpage, flooding edit histories, watchlists, and of course actual discussions. This issues are not limited to WP:ARBEE, but ARBEE covers a large component of the recent disruption. CMD (talk) 00:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC) shortened CMD (talk) 02:08, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I note that two new odd nicknames and more passive aggressive threats have been added to this very case since my original comment. CMD (talk) 02:08, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El_C That comment referred to this edit partially striking through someone else's edit because they found that part to be inaccurate. CMD (talk) 08:08, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@El C: No preference on scope so long as it hits the problematic topic, but whatever the scope it really needs to come with a clear warning against further unsubstantiated commentary on other editors. CMD (talk) 16:56, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by My very best wishes

I do not see any serious reason for sanctioning Jargo Nautilus. Here is why.

None of their recent edits in article main space appear problematic.
Their edits on article talk pages do look excessive, occasionally strange and usually unsourced. However, making comments based on a personal expertise or even personal opinion on the subject is allowed on article talk pages. A lot of people do it, especially during RfC (and a lot of comments by Jargo Nautilus are related to RfC). Does he crosses the line of Wikipedia:Don't bludgeon the process? Not in my opinion, or may be only on one page.
Some of their comments on user talk pages are cryptic, but I do not see them as sufficiently offensive to warrant any immediate sanctions per WP:NPA. My very best wishes (talk) 23:46, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I do agree that user Jargo Nautilus has ~~an anti-Russian bias~~ strong views [45], but his willingness of discuss disagreements is actually a good thing, not a reason for sanctions, in my opinion. My very best wishes (talk) 12:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even if his behavior on talk pages is problematic, this is something related to modern Russia, not to "modern armed conflicts". My very best wishes (talk) 13:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Vanilla Wizard

I have mixed feelings here. This AE filing does a poor job at demonstrating issues with JN's behavior, but other comments from other editors demonstrate serious concerns. I recommend they take all of Deepfriedokra's advice. As a fellow autistic Wikipedian I +1 everything they said. If they do receive a TBAN, I prefer a temporary to an indef. If they can drop the battleground mentality then they should be fine to contribute to pages about geopolitics in the future.

My advice for JN is as follows:

Be more cautious about publishing edits that read more as political commentary than as contributions to building an encyclopedia. It's okay to briefly state your views on your user page, but don't use your talk page as a blog.
Don't view the encyclopedia as a battleground where pro <x> and anti <x> editors clash, lest you risk a WP:NOTHERE indef. Everyone has a set of biases, but we're not here to "fight for our side." And you definitely shouldn't declare enemies. Seriously. Don't do that.
Don't edit or strike other editors' comments. An exception could be if they get indeffed as a sockpuppet account. Other than that, if you want someone to edit their comments, ask them if they'd be willing to do it themselves.
Calling other editors by funny nicknames isn't inherently a problem, but if they ask you not to do that, then don't continue.
Be cautious about generating walls of text, especially in RFCs as this can make it much harder for whoever closes the discussion to parse through it. This one isn't as serious of an issue as the others IMO. I do it too. I'm bad at keeping things concise. I'm rambling right now, even. But try your best to notice when your messages are getting excessively long.
Most importantly: know when to take a wikibreak! I used to have unmanageable stress that made me a much more irritable person. I started editing when I was a teenager with an undiagnosed and untreated anxiety disorder. I completely sympathize and empathize. If you're feeling stressed, it's okay to just log out. It's okay to disappear for an entire month if that's what it takes. Do whatever you need to do to destress. Edits you make under stress are much more likely to be regrettable.

In summary: I think JN can continue to be a productive editor, but they really need to have WP:BATTLEGROUND in mind going forward. A TBAN from articles related to current military conflicts could be acceptable if it lasts roughly 6 months to a year, but I wouldn't endorse an indefinite one.

Result concerning Jargo Nautilus

This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.

Concur with Volunteer Marek. Selfstudier, this is an exceptionally poor report. It's nearly at WP:BOOMERANG level, which honestly surprises me from an editor of your tenure in WP:ACDS topics. It isn't germane that you to provide your warnings concerning claims of personal attacks, aspersions, incivility, etc., rather you are expected to show those things themselves. It isn't reasonable to expect reviewers to connect your reactions to whatever actions prompted these. That is your burden. Two is too many steps. So you need to amend the diffs to reflect what those warnings were in response to. The first diff, while a bit subpar, doesn't seem that egregious. Which is all the direct evidence you have atm. El_C 21:26, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, I sampled some of Mellk's diffs randomly ("random" though they may be), and your style is way too abrasive and vitriolic and polemical. Perhaps the other side is acting similarly, I don't know as no evidence has been provided to show that — but the point is that you need to dial it back considerably.
So please use article talk pages calmly and dispassionately, and above all else, targeted to specifics. If there are broader problems with a page or a set of pages, this (or WP:AN / WP:ANI) would be the venue for you to present these (Volunteer Marek knows what I'm talking about there *wink*). So to sum up: you need to communicate any concerns without the WP:BATTLEGROUND, and you need to do so in a targeted way as well as in the appropriate venue. El_C 18:47, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, thanks, I appreciate that. Please make sure you follow through on that. I realize that these are, to put it delicately, challenging times, but allowances for that can only extend to a point. Also, did you ever review the WP:ASPERSIONS page? When you say that Mellk has engaged in personal attacks without evidence of these, that is an aspersion par excellence. Because it just hangs there, unproven. So either provide evidence, or it shouldn't be mentioned at all. Please also keep in mind that this is not a quasi-criminal procedure, and in case, my sense is that warnings might suffice here. And probably no need to escalate these to logged warnings at this point, either (unless I missed something especially egregious). El_C 23:10, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, sorry, but that is not evidence. What is required are quotes and the WP:DIFFs associated with these. El_C 23:42, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jargo Nautilus, a warning from an uninvolved admin is not the same as a warning from an editor who is party to the dispute. Because a warning from an admin could be enforced with sanctions if ignored. You are free to remove any and all warnings (or anything at all) from your user talk page. You can even blank your talk page entirely, if you want. You are not required to keep those displayed, whether issued by an admin or not. All a removal indicates is that you're aware of and have read them. El_C 23:49, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, I don't know where you've gotten that impression concerning warnings and formalism, but there is no such requirement. Thus, there's nothing inherently problematic with the placement of that comment/warning. El_C 23:53, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, I'm having a difficult time following what you're saying, but your block log is a matter of public record (these are listed at the top of any user's contributions page). So no combing needed to infer that. It's literally a click away. El_C 00:05, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, you were blocked on the basis of harassment. That's because WP:OUTING is a component of the WP:HARASSMENT policy. Which is to say, even if it was later rescinded, that was the original basis (at that time). El_C 00:18, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chipmunkdavis, you are at nearly double the word and diff limit. Please condense. Thanks. El_C 01:39, 17 September 2022

Jargo Nautilus, per Chipmunkdavis' evidence, you are WP:BLUDGEONING to excess to the point of it having the effect of a filibuster. You need to be more concise and as a general principle base your comments on pertinent sources (i.e. avoid contravening WP:NOTAFORUM). And what's with repeatedly calling CMD Jones? What even is that? Well, whatever it is, it's weird (as in it makes no sense) and inappropriate.

CMD, for your part, it's kinda ridiculous that you tell Jargo Nautilus to "not edit others' comments" (diff), when that edit ~~corrected the link of Talk:Russa#Add Russian invasion of Ukraine, 2022, to the lead into Talk:Russia#Add Russian invasion of Ukraine, 2022, to the lead (diff).~~ That is not only allowed, but is in fact encouraged. El_C 03:32, 17 September 2022 (UTC) Strike: My mistake, that was Jargo Nautilus' own comment. I have no idea what edit CMD is referring to there. El_C 03:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, please never strike part of someone else's comment for accuracy or for any other reason. That is a big no-no. To an outside observer, it'll always look like it was done by the comment's author. If you have a correction, you've your own comments to quote and strike and do whatever with. Honestly, it's a little astonishing to me that you've been here for years, yet you do not realize how misleading and inappropriate doing that is. El_C 12:32, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In light of Jargo Nautilus latest combative comments to Chipmunkdavis in this very report, I think a topic ban is all but inevitable now. El_C 12:56, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, your section is now four times the word limit. It is over 2,000 words (!) — you're only allowed 500. Please trim by using {{Collapse top}} Text {{Collapse bottom}}. El_C 13:42, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, I asked you directly above to collapse comments that others responded to rather than remove the text outright — why have you not done so? You've also not responded to the matter of calling CMD all those names (Jones, Bob, Frank), including twice in this very complaint. Now you've accused someone of "racist comments," yet again with zero evidence. Above (way above), I asked you whether you've reviewed the WP:ASPERSIONS page, a question which you never answered (I don't think). But I presume you didn't review it since you're still continuing to do it. As for misquotes, again, correct those (or anything) in your own comment. You have no right to intrude on someone else's comment like that.

For the last time, you need to stop levelling accusations against other editors without evidence (i.e. aspersions). That is sanctionable misconduct. At this point, I'm just about ready to close this report with an indef WP:TBAN from WP:ARBEE. If any admin objects, please let me know. I'll wait 24 hours before doing so, in any case. El_C 18:45, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After discussing the matter at some length with Jargo Nautilus (here), I'm now open to narrowing the topic ban to modern armed conflicts, broadly construed, within the overall region that ARBEE encompasses. Thoughts? El_C 15:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, sorry, I intended to wrap this up myself, and I had an entire day in which to do so (which was plenty) before RL obligations took precedent. But then My very best wishes' Holocaust comment on your talk page, the edit summary more than anything, threw me on a loop (diff). It also coincided with an unrelated stressful on-wiki event (this one), which thankfully ended okay in the end. Anyway, now I don't know if I'll get a chance to be the one to give a closure of this report the attention it deserves. None of that is on you, obviously, it's just bad luck. El_C 16:58, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Same, I agree with VM, this seems a waste of time. As for Mellk's comment about JN restoring comments on the talk page, I tend to agree with JN there. It's fine if others disagree, but editing warring to remove comments was the wrong thing to do. There are going to be heated comments, leave it be unless it is vandalism. This is a textbook example of doing an AE report in the wrong way. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 21:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jargo Nautilus, you are over your limit on words, and I think we've heard enough. The short answer is, your behavior in that one diff is below expectations, and you need to stop that. Personally, I'm not inclined to do more than informally warn you about that at this time. I would also add that while I agreed your comment shouldn't have been reverted out, you are getting close to being in WP:FORUM territory. We aren't here to see if Russians believe Putin or not. Go to a blog or forum for that. We are here to build an encyclopedia. I'm going to pass on closing this, but that is pretty much how I would close it. Pull back on the attitude, and stop treating the talk page as a forum. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:00, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jargo Nautilus: I too have autism. I know my strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps you need to compose in a text editor and reread a few times before you post. That's what I do. If your autism is causing you to act disruptively, you need to do something about that. And while I think everyone of the posters here should pull back more than a little bit, I also think, Jargo Nautilus, that editing in as fraught with conflict an area is this would stress me out to the point of becoming a quivering blob. I think a Topic Ban from this area would give you the chance to destress and edit constructively in a more peaceful setting. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:53, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban appeal

I would like to appeal my indefinite AA topic ban per this report: [46] by User:Armatura (now indef banned). I was reported for posting a link to a news site article in a talk page discussion. While I agree that the link that I posted was not a reliable source, I never used it in the article, nor did I propose to use it. But it was a poor choice, of which I regret. I understand that I should use better discretion when selecting sources, even if they are intended just for illustrative purposes. I promise not to make the same mistake again. Another reason for Tban was mentioning an IWPR reporter's Armenian nationality to demonstrate the usage of the discussed term in various countries and the reporter not being an Azerbaijani propaganda source. I understand that mentioning nationality during a dispute, even for good faith reasons, could potentially create a battleground atmosphere. As Rosguill advised, I should have just limited myself to pointing out that IWPR was not in cahoots with the Azerbaijani government. It was a mistake on my part that I promise never to repeat.

After my first appeal I was advised to take some time off (6 months at least) to edit other areas, which I did. [47]

In the last 6 months, in addition to various edits, I created two new articles: Fyodor Arturovich Keller, about a notable historical figure of the Russian revolution era, and Destroyed Russian military equipment exhibition, related to the war in Ukraine. The former became a DYK and was featured on Wikipedia main page. I have been a long time contributor to Wikipedia, I made more than 24,000 edits, and I contributed pretty much to every notable article about Azerbaijan, and created many new ones. Right before the ban, I created another DYK article, Lazar Bicherakhov, which was one of the most viewed hooks of March 2022, and largely rewrote the article about Gobustan State Historical and Cultural Reserve, which is a world heritage site, and was in a very bad shape. I think I could positively contribute to improving Azerbaijan related articles, as I did for many years, so I would like to ask the admins to lift the topic ban. Thank you very much.

Statement by Abrvagl

During my newbie days, Grandmaster suddenly stopped responding to the ongoing discussion, despite the fact that I pinged him several times. I only found out Grandmaster was Tbanned after another user explained me. That piqued my interest because it was new to me, so I began exploring the case.

I will be honest here, my first impression was that Grandmaster was targeted, because, as I understood from Grandmamster’s reply[48], same user filed number of reports on him in a short period of time. I didn't fully understand what warranted indefinite Tban at the time, but after reading the appeal, it became crystal clear to me, and I actually took some lessons learned from it. I believe that the fact that the individual understands what he did wrong may identicate that he has improved his behavior and addressed concerns. What I don't quite understand is which policy defines duration of the ban and this confuses my understanding. For example, a user, who assume the ethnicity of other editors and challenge RfC outcome based on ethnicity of participants, get a 2-month Tban [49], while other editor get an indefinite Tban for highlighting the reporter's ethnicity to prove the article is not Azerbaijani propaganda.

With regards to appeal, considering the fact that Grandmaster understood his mistake and given the points raised by Rosguill, I would opt for a trial period during which any battleground mentality from Grandmaster will result in an immediate Tban. I believe giving Grandmaster a trial Tban lift is a reasonable solution, because, as Rosguill suggested, how else can editor demonstrate that concerns regarding the A-A are addressed if he cannot contribute in that area?

Just a quick question: Grandmaster, who is the sanctioning admin and have you informed them about this appeal? El_C 17:44, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Grandmaster, thanks. Yes, it's required. Because it wouldn't make sense to evaluate the sanction imposed by said admin in absentia. El_C 18:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the request here addresses the issues that led to the report the ended in the ban, and if this request had been made by a relatively new account I would have no issues lifting the ban. My lingering concern is that Grandmaster, at the time they made the errors that led to the ban, had been actively editing Wikipedia for well over a decade, and the fact that they would still make such flimsy arguments suggests to me that these were not naive errors but rather intentional opportunism motivated by an entrenched battleground mentality. Grandmaster is clearly capable of doing good editing work outside of A-A, but the presentation of such work is neither here nor there as far as underlying battleground concerns go. I recognize that it is hard-to-impossible for an editor to produce evidence that would prove that such underlying concerns have been addressed, so I do feel bad about saying (!voting?) no at this time, but I can't say that I really see cause to lift the TBAN. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:18, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If there has been no recent battling, well after this TBAN was imposed, I would feel safe unTBANNing.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do not believe in the WP:ROPE principle which suggests that it is easy to reinstate a sanction (would that principle unleash a reformed editor or someone better able to POV push while avoiding sanctions?). Nevertheless, my quick look did not find a knock-out reason showing that the tban should be forever. Has Grandmaster been sanctioned before, other than the last block which was for edit warring in 2007? I'm on the fence given Rosguill's reluctance above but am inclined to unban.

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

I really would rather not reporting this here, but this is a blatant personal attack, and then restored when removed. I think Daveout is the type of editor we need more of, and I say that as somebody who sees him as clearly being on a "pro-Israel" side of things, but he is reasonable and open to discussion and willing to compromise. But on topics that rile him up he goes wayyyy too far, and this is one such example.

re I can't tell a user that he is lying when he is patently lying??? WTF???, no, no you can not. Even if he were and that were an established fact. You can report him for disruptive or tendentious editing, but no you cannot say you're a pov-pushing liar who is not acting in good faith. You could probably call some statement a lie if you could prove it, but no, you may not call another editor a pov-pushing liar. nableezy - 18:37, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as far as the pov-pushing bit, one should note that Daveout edited to insert two highly POV pieces, and only those links, the mirror image of what he claims is POV-pushing by others. Nobody said he is a liar or not editing in good faith or a pov-pusher. nableezy - 19:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dave, like I said, I dont even want to be here reporting you. But you just said your edit was a WP:POINT violation. If you think something is wrong then say it is wrong and then raise the issue at the appropriate noticeboard if discussion proves to be unfruitful. Do I agree with Selfstudier's addition to the EL page? I dont really have a problem with them. Do I think an external links section should only have links in support of one POV? Obviously not. The solution there is to add other appropriate links though. But heres the important part. You cant just insult somebody like that. You cant double down on it. I understand this topic can be emotional for some editors. But if you get so emotional about it that you are incapable of participating like an encyclopedia editor then you should recognize that and walk away. I think you are, usually, a good editor. I think you edit in good faith. But that doesnt excuse that kind of attack, and then to double down on it? I would gladly withdraw this report if you self-revert your re-insertion and commit to not personalizing disputes and not violating WP:NPA and WP:POINT. nableezy - 19:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by Daveout

(1) - (diff) I removed an external link and wrote the following summary: "rv, i think this should be discussed first. along with the other links"

(2) - (diff) To which Selfstudier replied "...the latest revert is free of any rationale, none was specified in the edit summary, just an unwarranted demand for discussion."

(3) - What is that if not a lie??? I can't tell a user that he is lying when he is patently lying??? WTF???

(4) - This is the *unwarranted* discussion that their referring to. The discussion, a good faith attempt to build consensus, was triggered by the fact that 3 external links were added to the Israel and apartheid article, all of them basically affirmed that there is an apartheid in Israel (which is a controversial matter and should be dealt with neutrality). The external links are as follow: "Inside Israeli Apartheid", The apartheid reports, DECONSTRUCTING ISRAEL'S APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS.

(5) - So look at the links and tell me that the discussion about neutrality is *unwarranted*, it's another L-I-E. There's no other name for it.

Nableezy I was trying to make a point about one-sided external links. (and by the way, the pro-Israel ones were promptly removed under neutrality concerns, oh the irony). I'll admit that maybe the way I did it wasn't so obvious. Anyway, as I later explained on talk I'm perfectly happy with no 'external links' section. Or it could have a balanced version. Making clear that I didn't want a section with pro-Israel links only.

Hypothetically speaking, if you consider that ~~pov-pushing~~ "less than neutral", do you agree that Selfstudier acted in a ~~pov-pushing~~ "less than neutral" manner? –Daveout(talk) 19:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: It was a comment on my perception of Ideological bias on Wikipedia, based on my own experience, I didn't mean to attack anyone. (do you have mind reading capabilities or are you failing to assume good faith?). I was indeed thinking about an event that I experienced, where I saw admins ignoring rules in order to vilify an allegedly conservative "free-speech" website. (I can provide diffs but I really don't want to get into that). And by the way I'm a Bernie suporter. –Daveout(talk) 18:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daveout, as I said below, this was an "attack on our editors in general". I did not say that it was a personal attack on any specific user. But I am not violating WP:AGF by pointing out that "Cannot say bad things about Dems in wikipedia, unfortunately. Everything bad about their politicians is just conspiracy around here" is an uncivil remark. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:43, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will never take back or apologize for saying that Wikipedia is biased in favor of establishment Democrats. This is a well known fact, a constructive criticism, not incivility, nor "a direct attack on editors in general". (I say this as a progressive Bernie supporter.) (Wanna permaban me for saying that? Fine. Just do it. It will just prove my point.)
I have a hard time being fake polite, and sometimes, I notice, people take my words harder than I intended. but I can try from now on, as a compromise, to force myself to sound softer even during disputes. For example, instead of saying "Selfstudier, You're a liar!", I can push my hardest to say things like "Selfstudier, sweetie, we're talking about this exact issue on talk, as I mentioned in the summary. I didn't explicitly wrote WP:BRD, WP:ONUS, WP:POV in there because I thought you were already well aware of those. But you clearly weren't, despite having over a decade of experience. It's thus obviously my fault for being so... cryptic. I'm really sorry. >.< " –Daveout(talk) 18:43, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GizzyCatBella: You forgot to say that, as I made clear, I restored positive and uncontroversial edits only. In many instances, including votes, I acted in ways that would let Yaniv displeased since I'm less pro-Israel than him, and I have the receipts. But since you're so committed at reverting every Yaniv edit, you might be interested in restoring this edit describing Sara Netanyahu as a cow, since it was corrected by Yaniv.

It's fine Gizzy, just let the witch-hunt continue. I don't really care. Fun-facts that won't be mentioned here: (1) I once evoked the fifth pilar (WP:5P5) so a pro-Palestine user could vote in a split proposal, my rationale was: All his comments have been constructive and the 500 edits requirement is obviously meant to bar accounts created recently by bad faith actors, not editors who have been around for over a decade. (2) I once defended a pro-Palestine user here at AE on a complain brought forward by a "pro-Israel user", (3) I was probably the only "pro-Israel editor" to vote yes to the Israeli apartheid renaming. One of the most desired changes of the pro-Palestinian squad. So no, I'm not a puppet of a cabal headed by Mossad. And IceWhiz, NoCal and Yaniv aren't my overlords if that's what people are thinking. –Daveout(talk) 22:43, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RE: you're a pov-pushing liar who is not acting in good faith (diff) — yikes! El_C 17:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daveout, a couple of things: 1. Please sign + timestamp any and all comments. 2. Attributing a possible error to a lie fails to exhibit good faith on your part. Also, even if you were able to somehow prove that it was a lie (singular), that does not mean that they are a liar (habitual). 3. Maybe tone down the the excessive bold (have mercy on our eyes) and other heated exclamations. Those do the opposite of of advancing your position, because they serve as distraction, one which does not come across as representing the dispassionate discourse expected for this topic area (and doubly so here, at WP:AE, where one's related conduct is placed under scrutiny). Thank you. El_C 18:41, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clear personal attack and I don't see anything here which could possibly justify it. It seems to me that these editors just have different perspectives on this revert: Selfstudier pointed out that the edit summary doesn't contain a rationale for removing that specific link (which is true), and Daveout felt that a previous post on the talk page justified the removal. Neither is a wildly unreasonable perspective to have and certainly not justification for insulting people. Given the prior warning, and the fact that Daveout's comments here double down on the original comment, I think some sort of sanction or at least a stern logged warning would be appropriate.

Wow. This is a two for one deal? We have WP:NOTCOMPATIBLE and WP:INCIVIL behavior in American politics and Palestine-Israel. Doubling down on such behavior above? I think ArbCom wants us to tend away from indefinite TBANS, so one each for American politics and Israel-Palestine would be nice, but they were not DS alerted for American politics. So six months TBAN for Israel Palestine. However, I see a trend that makes me believe a site ban may become necessary. The general WP:BATTLEGROUND approach is the opposite of what is required in a collaborative work environment. As the behavior escalated, I think a warning will not be effective. If anyone wants a limited duration site-wide block from editing, that would be my second choice.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:29, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Time-limited sanctions are counter productive for anything other than petty vandalism or edit warring. I'm not up to date regarding Arbcom's latest effort to hamstring discretionary sanctions, but if there is any time that an indef topic ban was required, this is it. If that's now not permitted, I don't see why there would be less than a one-year tban. Johnuniq (talk) 02:50, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

This reads to me as a transparent attempt to game the system. Given Screendeemer's strong interest in Kiwi Farms and participation on the article's talkpage as recently as 22 September, while this matter was being discussed there, it seems very unlikely that they are unware that there is a strong consensus not to have mainspace content about the artist nicknamed Chris Chan. If they were unaware, we would see that by them attempting to add a mention to the article, and it being reverted, or them attempting to create an article on her (or requesting a relevant title's unsalting). Their awareness is also evidenced by a pattern of edits that would make no sense except as an attempt to game the system. Why create a disambiguation page for "Chris Chan" featuring three people not referred to as Chris Chan? Why first create an article a completely non-notable person with a similar name? It also seems unlikely that they created Sonichu comic without first attempting to create Sonichu, from which they would have become aware of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 November 11 § Sonichu.

This is gaming the system, plain and simple, in an attempt to abuse redirects and DAB pages to create a link between the name "Chris Chan" and the Kiwi Farms article.

Screendeemer also has a history of controversial GENSEX redirect creations: Milked for laughs → Kiwi Farms; Virgin with rage → Incel; Gamergate and Gamergaters → Misogyny [51] [52].

Jurisdictional note: Kiwi Farms' activities are the subject of a gender-related dispute or controversy, and Chris Chan, a trans woman, is an associated person.

Apparently Chris Chann (double n) is a skateboarder and YouTuber. However, given that the links in the report confirm Screendeemer's interest in Kiwi Farms and the Chris Chan (single n and aka CWC) who is the target of harassment by followers of that website, it is very reasonable to conclude that Screendeemer is doing what they can to ensure Wikipedia contributes to the harassment. If that is Screendeemer's purpose, they should be indefinitely blocked. However, there may be some doubt (perhaps it's just lack of maturity or whatever). Accordingly, I propose an indefinite topic ban although wording to specify the bounds of a ban needs to be determined. Would it be "all gender and sexuality topics" or perhaps something more focused on Kiwi Farms and Chan? Johnuniq (talk) 07:34, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sanction or remedy to be enforced: Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Abortion#Motion: Abortion (September 2020)

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

This is not a request for sanctions against any particular editor. Rather, per the instructions at the top of this page, it is a request that administrator(s) enact, as an administrator action authorized under the Abortion case DS, a WP:1RR page restriction at Crisis pregnancy center (not the talk page, just the page itself). As shown in the link above, there was previously a 1RR restriction at all pages in the topic area of the DS, that was lifted in 2020. Here, I'm requesting that it be added back on a single page, for at least a while, while there is a dispute that is being discussed on the article talk page, where there is an ongoing RfC and related discussion. A look at the page edit history shows no 3RR violations, but a significant amount of slow edit warring: [54]. Alternatively, I guess you could full protect the page. In any case, I think it would be helpful to keep the debate on the talk page, at least until the RfC is over. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:49, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tamzin's analysis is correct, and it's ok with me if the decision is against doing this. But I'll suggest that the knowledge of a 1RR restriction would have the effect of making editors think twice before making reverts, and that would be a good thing in the current context. It's not just about a need to tamp down on edit warring, but also a matter of refocusing attention onto talk while the issues are still being discussed. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help but to notice that things quieted down as soon as I made this request and posted at the article talk page that I had made it. I think it would be fine to have a 72-hour 1RR, but per Johnuniq, I'd recommend against having a BRD requirement. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Result concerning Request for 1RR at Crisis pregnancy center

This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.

There's a lot of reverting, but it moves slow. In the past month of edits, a 24-hour 1RR would have prevented Pbritti's 2nd revert of the 7th, Goodtablemanners' 2nd revert of the 29th–30th, and that's it. Neither of those made it to a third revert, I'll note. So I'm not convinced a 24-hour 1RR would have a preventative effect. If there's an appropriate rememdy, I think it would be either a 72-hour 1RR or a BRD requirement, but I'm undecided on that "if". -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 22:09, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If a "refocus attention to discussions on the talk page" type sanction is needed, then I second Tamzin's BRD suggestion. firefly ( t · c ) 12:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
72-hour 1RR and a BRD requirement should not be overly onerous and may have a salutary effect on discussion and consensus building. The net result should be to make for a more collaborative work environment.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:28, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have a jaded view regarding topics like this. I would be happy to support a 72-hour 1RR and a BRD requirement as an experiment but essentially, like many other topics, the page will be edited by those seeking to promote opposing views regarding good and evil and for the dedicated editor, restrictions are just a nuisance to be worked around with tag teaming etc. What does "BRD" mean here? It sounds like an indefinite 1RR that applies to everyone, not just the person who did the first revert. I had to remind myself what would be involved in restrictions: see page restrictions.

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

Kheo17 continued to use the source Qərbi Azərbaycanın türk mənşəli toponimləri ("Toponyms of Turkic origin of Western Azerbaijan") after being warned of it's unreliability. The "Western Azerbaijan" in the title is actually referring to Armenia, and is an Azerbaijani irredentism source that is explaining how the names of every Armenian city and town are actually of Turkic/Azerbaijani origin. The book's author, Ibrahim Bayramov, co-wrote another book about how all of Armenia is Azerbaijan's rightful territory.

I explained to Kheo17 on his talk page why this source is unreliable, but he continued to restore it on several Armenian town articles regardless. I'm shocked that an editor who has been editing Armenia-Azerbaijan related articles for over a decade would not understand why a source claiming all of Armenia belongs to Azerbaijan is not acceptable. --Dallavid (talk) 22:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
