158:(e.g., e-mail). Information that is actually private, such as information about a person's identity or other aspects of their personal lives, absolutely deserves strict protection. But there is no compelling privacy interest for us to prohibit excerpts from e-mails in the vein of "Hey buddies, let's team up tonight to revert User:Foo's POV-pushing" from being posted on-wiki in the course of dispute resolution – as long as they do not contain any identifying or other private information. (On the other hand, the full message will often be required for verification, and thus it is still a better idea to forward the message privately to ArbCom instead.) The copyright argument does not apply to brief quotations, see 924:– that is, it does not decide what information should or should not be in any particular article. It should therefore not take any steps to ensure that any particular viewpoint is represented more or less in our articles. Article content is decided by editorial consensus, and an important function of ArbCom is to help maintain the editing environment that allows editors to arrive at a consensus in a collegial and constructive manner – for instance, by enabling community or administrator sanctions against editors who disrupt the consensus-building process by edit-warring or socking. 247:
behavior more easily than new editors who espouse fringe opinions. But it should be the other way around: The longer somebody participates, and especially if they hold positions of trust such as adminship, the higher a standard of conduct should they be held to, because they are expected to know better. An important purpose of ArbCom, in my view, is to remedy this systemic problem: because of its relative independence, it is in a position to effectively enforce policy in situations where the community can't arrive at a consensus.

closure are non-WP:BLP-issues about which editors can in good faith disagree, such as certain aspects of notability. I am not sure that, under such circumstances, the ethical and legal imperative to "get BLPs right" is still an issue in the decision whether or not to delete, and accordingly, whether that imperative justifies changing our longstanding "when in doubt, don't delete" rule. I'm open to being convinced otherwise, and it may well be that policy development trends in that direction, but I'm not convinced yet.
903:(under discretionary sanctions after a arbitration request) for instance I added up to date information on an Israeli court convicting two IDF soldiers of a war crime for using a child as a human shield. Yet, there is an attempt to keep this information out of the article. So, I would like to know what steps you are going to take to insure that information that is properly sourced and relevant is included in Knowledge, especially when that information goes against the mainstream or Western viewpoint. 306:
in one-year bans for one or several people do not tend to flare up again as much as the "bigger" cases involving ideologically polarized groups of editors, which typically result in topic bans and discretionary sanctions. Several of these cases, including those about Eastern Europe, Israel/Palestine and climate change, continue to generate drama. But this is more of an enforcement issue, I think, than a problem with the decision itself.
275:
and discussion, and ArbCom can't supplant community consensus. As with the decisions of real courts, though, some ArbCom decisions do influence editing beyond the scope of the dispute they settle: by interpreting and applying our more fundamental rules (such as "Knowledge is an encyclopedia, not a ..."), they inevitably provide an impetus for the continued development of these rules by the larger community.
436:. That seems to have worked, and something similar could be employed again if necessary. But there are probably good reasons why this case has been an exception: many content disputes are either so multi-faceted that they won't easily fit into such a framework, or they can likely be resolved through normal editing after a few very confrontative participants are removed from the discussion. 968:
more easily sanctioned for disruption, and sanctioning any individual POV-pusher may create the unintentional appearance of bias in favor of the opposed POV. But is is ArbCom's job to tackle hard problems such as this one, even if it means that the arbitrators must ready themselves for even more personal attacks by editors associated with both sides of any contentious issue.
291:
and other editors to maintain the ground rules that are essential to the Wiki model of consensus-building (no edit-warring, no socking, no excessive or persistent incivility etc.) and, if need be, by removing overly confrontative participants from the discussion. In rare cases, it is possible that establishing a formal framework for discussion may also be helpful.
255:, or when the account appears to be compromised. Generally, since adminship is a position of substantial community trust and responsability, I would not be reluctant to desysop admins who have repeatedly or severely conducted themselves in a manner incompatible with this trust and responsability. There is always a way back via 557:.) Is it appropriate for a neutral encyclopedia to let some (but not all) of its subjects have a say about their inclusion? What if they later change their mind? Or only contact us after the discussion has closed? – I'm not opposed to any development of policy in that direction, but we'd need to resolve such questions first. 196:
comments are "defamatory" or "libelous", the second editor will often interpret this as a threat to sue for defamation, even if this is not intended." If somebody edits an article in order to state, without sources, that a certain living person is a rapist, then others should be able to tell the editor that these edits are
803:"Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" is considered to be an antisemitism. Would you block an editor for BLP violation, if an editor is to say that a cartoonist that uses those comparisons in his cartoons is drawing antisemitic pictures and therefore is an antisemite? -- 1017:
against persistently disruptive editors. I support continuing this practice where necessary, because it effectively distributes the time-consuming and stressful routine enforcement work in these areas, seems to be broadly successful so far in preventing major flareups in most of these topics, and now
967:
And it should, therefore, be a little less reluctant to sanction editors merely for consistently pushing any particular POV, even if they do not do so in an openly disruptive manner. I understand why it has so far been reluctant to do so: many POV-pushers also behave disruptively and can therefore be
582:
I would like to believe that the sourcing and other inclusion requirements for BLPs are now so stringent (as they should be) that if a discussion is closed correctly (that is, by giving any applicable WP:BLP arguments for deletion compelling weight), then the only possible reason for a "no consensus"
305:
A case is handled successfully if it is handled in such a manner as not to give rise to continued disputes among the parties (and others). In this respect, as another candidate has said, it is probably too early to tell for most 2010 cases. But it seems that the "smaller" cases which typically result

ArbCom should continue not to decide content disputes. Its job is to resolve conflicts among editors and thereby help contribute to an environment in which there are fewer obstacles to resolving content disagreements through discussion. It can do so by assisting and enabling uninvolved administrators
237:
Everybody deserves a second and even third chance, but not necessarily a fourth, fifth or twentieth. Blocks as well as other sanctions should be preventative, not punitive, which is why I prefer not to think of them in terms of strictness or leniency: they should be as extensive, and last as long, as
195:
I agree with the first sentence, "Editors should refrain from making comments that others may reasonably understand as legal threats, even if the comments are not intended in that fashion." But I do not entirely agree with the second sentence, "For example, if an editor asserts that a second editor's
874:
If Mr. Foo's cartoons are indeed perceived by many as antisemitic, then chances are that a reliable source will have addressed that issue specifically, and it is that reliable source that should be looked for and cited instead. Until such a source is cited, conjectural allegations of antisemitism or
612:
That sounds sensible to me, and I assume that our current protection policy (or at least practice) already allows this, as long as it is not applied indiscriminately (e.g., 1 year semiprotection for an isolated incident of random schoolboy vandalism). If this were used too excessively and applied to
274:
In principle, yes. As a dispute resolution body, ArbCom is a combined (quasi-)judicial and executive authority, charged with interpreting and applying policy for the limited purpose of resolving disputes. Knowledge policy, our "legislation", emerges from community consensus as manifested in practice
242:
especially in the latter case they should be lifted as soon as the sanctioned editor convinces the sanctioning person or body that they are no longer needed. Convincing the community or Committee that the problem will not reoccur should normally be easy the first time, especially if the editor shows
1096:
If I believe the requests for recusal are justified, I will of course recuse myself. If I believe that they are not, I will ask my fellow arbitrators to decide whether or not I should recuse myself, and will do so if a majority of arbitrators believes that I should. (This is, more or less, the rule

that it is reliable for our purposes) does not name Mr. Foo. Conjectural interpretation of both the source (i.e., whether its authors had works like those of Mr. Foo in mind when they wrote it) and of Mr. Foo's work (i.e., whether it does convey the opinion that the source considers antisemitic) is

I've not followed that issue closely, so I won't embarrass myself by going on at length about the fine distinctions between the various implementations. In general, I'm currently not a big fan of this "flagged" or "pending" approach to editing, because I find the interface utterly confusing and I'm

manner, and as a tie-breaker in rare borderline cases between "no consensus/keep" and "delete" this is probably a useful criterium. But I'm not sure whether it would scale well from a rare exception to a widely applied policy. We would need to discuss questions like: how do we verify that the IP or

As regards userbox advocacy in particular, I recognize that as a matter of practice we give people a wide latitude about what they put on their user page, and would not support sanctions for such userboxes alone except perhaps in exceptionally divisive cases (e.g., expressing support for violence
267:
Do you agree or disagree with this statement: "ArbCom should not be in the position of forming new policies, or otherwise creating, abolishing or amending policy. ArbCom should rule on the underlying principles of the rules. If there is an area of the rules that leaves something confused, overly

In my view, the main problem with policy enforcement is not that it is either too strict or too lenient, but that it is conducted unevenly, because in practice it is shaped too much by social dynamics and not enough by rules. Popular and experienced editors can often get away with problematic

Although every case is different and must be evaluated on its own merits, would you side more with those who tend to believe in second chances and lighter sanctions, or with those who support a greater number of bans and desysoppings? What factors might generally influence you? Under what

other contentious statements with respect to living persons should be removed, and the editor who made them should be made aware of the above. If they nonetheless continue to make contentious conjectural allegations against living persons, they may be blocked or otherwise restricted.
670:
On the whole, I am not yet convinced that it's worth the hassle to roll it out on a large scale. But I could warm to it as a less restrictive (and therefore somewhat more liberally applied) alternative to semiprotection, as soon as the interface becomes a bit more usable.
91:(e): I'll do that, though I am not comfortable with a dispute resolution body assuming quasi-governmental tasks such as these that have nothing to do with dispute resolution. But we do not seem to have decided on a better system for allocating these permissions so far. 134:

against specific groups). As such, the userbox at issue in the RfA in your question is pretty tame, but nonetheless I feel that administrators in particular should set an example and refrain from using their user space for any advocacy whatsoever.

I also intend to propose methods to further streamline the arbitration process so as to prevent cases from lasting inordinately long and taking up too much time of all involved (as in the climate change case). For instance, we should normally

I agree. But using voluntarily supplied personal information in an objectionable manner (e.g., "you only vote to delete this article because you are a dirty Foo-ian!") may still constitute sanctionable disruption even if it is not "outing" as

Election coordinators will either remove questions that are inconsistent with the guidelines or will contact the editor to ask for an amendment. Editors are, of course, welcome to post questions to candidates' user talk pages at any time.

To improve the effectiveness and responsiveness of the Committee, it should consider delegating more tasks to panels of e.g. three members, subject always to review by the full Committee, as is already done in the form of
