Sanction: No editor may make more than one revert (as defined at WP:EW) per week on this article for a period of six months. The restriction will allow for updating the article but should prevent edit wars until the RL controversies have settled. Talk page notice: [123] and [124], edit notice. De728631 (talk) 18:21, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
  • TheShadowCrow (talk · contribs) blocked for one month for violating the topic ban again by editing the Mount Ararat article where there was no obvious vandalism. Add to that edit-warring and incivility towards other users (accusation of racism). De728631 (talk) 23:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
  • TheShadowCrow (talk · contribs) is banned from all articles and discussions covered under ARBAA2 indefinitely per this notification. This is an extension of the previous 6 month topic ban above. CT Cooper · talk 11:37, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
    • TheShadowCrow (talk · contribs)'s topic ban was modified by User:CT Cooper on September 2, 2012, in the following manner: "Sports men and women and other general sports articles which happen to be based in Armenia, as long as it does not concern any political or cultural controversy, should be okay although you should still exercise caution."--Bbb23 (talk) 23:44, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
      • The above amendment is rescinded as of the 25 July 2013 on grounds that the statement was intended to be a clarification to the topic ban, not an amendment, but it has become apparent that it was the latter in practice and furthermore, it is clear that TheShadowCrow is having difficulties following the topic ban, so it should remain as simple as possible. CT Cooper · talk 20:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Due to misuse, the de facto exemption to reverting obvious vandalism in the ARBAA2 area no longer applies to the restrictions imposed on TheShadowCrow (talk · contribs). TheShadowCrow may notify an active administrator if he notices obvious vandalism which hasn't been immediately reverted. "Obvious vandalism" is defined as vandalism of which no knowledge or commentary of the article topic is required to identify. Any vandalism reports which raise issue with the encyclopedic content of an ARBAA2 article will be in violation of the restrictions. Notification CT Cooper · talk 10:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Volunteer Marek (talk · contribs) is banned from changing names as described below for six months and warned not to express what sounds like nationalist prejudice.
  • The sanction is vacated for the reasons described in this appeal discussion and replaced with a warning not to continue nationalist edit wars by others and not to engage in a pattern of apparently nationalistically motivated name-changing.  Sandstein  06:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
  • M.K (talk · contribs) is warned about the possibility of discretionary sanctions.
A ban from changing names means that the editor is banned from editing articles to change, remove or add names (including translations) in a Eastern European language with respect to a subject that the same article already designates with a name in another Eastern European language. This includes names in other pages that are displayed as part of the article, such as categories, images or templates, and it also forbids moving articles that have a name in a Eastern European language to a name in another language. For the purpose of this ban, "Eastern European language" includes German.  Sandstein  06:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
  • The above two topic bans are modified to allow participation by Igny and TLAM in Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor. The mediators of that case have the exclusive prerogative of reporting any editorial misconduct by Igny or TLAM during the mediation to an administrator familiar with the topic bans or to WP:AE. If that administrator is satisfied that misconduct occurred by TLAM or Igny: (1) the modification to the topic ban for that editor will cease; (2) the topic ban for that editor will be reset and doubled in length and (3) the editors will lose the right to dispute the outcome of the MedCab case. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:51, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Gibraltar

*For the reasons explicated in much greater detail in this AE thread:

  1. Wee Curry Monster (talk · contribs), Imalbornoz (talk · contribs), Pfainuk (talk · contribs), and Richard Keatinge (talk · contribs) are placed on the following restriction: they may not make any substantive edit to Gibraltar unless they have posted on Talk:Gibraltar explaining their proposed edit, and 48 hours have elapsed since the time of the posting, and no editor objected to the proposed edit. For the purposes of this restriction: "substantive edit" means any edit that is not purely a typo fix, formatting change, or an exemption to the 3RR rule; "object" includes any expression of opposition to the proposed edit, regardless of the reason behind the opposition.
  2. The four editors listed above are further banned from starting or participating in any discussion concerning any events, occurrences, or incidents that occurred between 1600 AD and 1900 AD, if such event, occurrence, or incident took place in, or is otherwise related to, Gibraltar, broadly construed. This restriction applies to all namespaces and all pages.
  3. Violations of either of the above restriction will result in an immediate ban from Gibraltar and its talk page, as well as any further sanctions an uninvolved administrator may choose to impose.
  4. Any uninvolved administrator may, for good cause, grant an exemption to the restriction in item 2 on a case-by-case basis. Such exemptions may be revoked if abused.
  5. As an application of item 4, an exemption to item 2 is granted to all four editors as follows: item 2 does not apply to participation in a binding content RFC regarding their present disputes. The RFC is to be supervised by an uninvolved administrator, who may set such limitations as necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the RFC. Like all exemptions, this exemption may be revoked if abused.
  6. Restrictions 1 and 2 will be lifted upon the conclusion of the content RFC referred to in item 5, provided that such RFC yields a consensus on the wording to be used, and the editor accepts the outcome of the RFC and conform their future edits to it. They may not attempt to change the outcome except by initiating a new RFC no less than one year after the original RFC concludes.
  7. All involved editors are warned in the strongest terms that disruption of the RFC process, in whatever form, will be viewed with great disfavor, and will lead to sanctions up to and including a lengthy block and/or topic ban.

  • Golan Heights had a unique 1RR sanction placed on it in Aug 2010 which held the article to 1RR as well as required editors to discuss reverts. The talk page notice of this was inadvertently removed when the new P-I sanctions template was done per the Nov 2010 community decision on 1RR for P-I.
