418:, which ran from 19-24 April. Editors who !voted delete here and keep in the preceding AfDs were: Jayjg, JoshuaZ, Tickle me, Humus sapiens, Leifern, IronDuke. The keep arguments were generally in the form of "Keep if other Allegations of apartheid in X series are kept" (to quote Humus sapiens in the Brazilian AfD). Needless to say, these arguments were not used for the Israeli article. Following the Israeli AfD, the same editors (minus JoshuaZ) voted pretty much consistently to keep in the French, Chinese, American and Saudi Arabian AfDs (per evidence 422:). They were joined by many of the other editors who had voted to delete the Israeli article, who voted in a consistent bloc using the same all or nothing arguments and on occasion explicitly referencing the Israeli article. I believe this was a direct reaction to the result of the Israeli AfD. Note that the "all or nothing" proposition was put forward by a limited number of editors 603:(any article can be deleted if it never reaches NPOV, relies solely on OR, or isn't a notable subject, of course). I have never proposed anything along the lines of "let's delete all of them" or "let's keep all of them." I have merely demanded that we apply the same standards on these articles. It can only be interpreted the way you just did if you blatantly assume bad faith. -- 169:
here, when you would expect editors to know that every comment will be read by the Arbitrators. Far from being on their best behavior, some editors have received harsher sanctions than were originally considered partly because their poor behavior during the case gave the Arbitrators little confidence that moderate remedies would have the desired effect.

You have 4 options. You can make an evidence section of your own that contains a rebuttal subsection. You can offer an explanation on the talk page. You can comment on any relevant workshop proposals tied to the evidence (such as "# Sefringle has disrupted wikipedia to make a point" if it exists).

Assume in this respect means to take something for granted as truth. i.e. one should believe, absence of evidence to the contrary, that the other is acting in good faith. A plainly-stated opinion of "if the rest are notable, then this is too" is evidence to the contrary, and can only be interpreted

Ok, my analysis done. (I ignored any username changes and/or dual accounts.) Nobody who opined keep or merge in the Australian AFD opined delete for a later or simultaneous Israeli AFD. Nobody who opined Delete in the 6th Israeli AFD opined in the Brazilian AFD. So the only relevant ordered pair

I find that odd advice. I can imagine such an action would trigger a whole bevy of angry responses, up to and including a campaign of targetting my evidence (and my TalkPage, which happens a lot). The people posting in this fashion are definitely wrong, but a clerk should tidy up, not me. I have a

In response to a dialog I just removed from Picaroon's evidence suggestion, I would like to point out that editors' behavior during Arbitration may indeed be taken into account by the Arbitrators. Those who do not regularly follow arbitration cases might be surprised at the behavior that occurs

I wouldn't worry about it. This was a section I opened with my name at the top in order that I could present my contribution/s. Everyone apparently needed reminding that if "Evidence" is found to be defective or misleadingly incomplete, it should be taken down and brought up to a high degree of

There's nothing wrong with your argument, except that it bears no relation to the reasons given for deleting the article (which is about primary and secondary sources. Allegedly, the AoIA was properly written using the latter, whereas none of the subsequent AoA articles were written in this

That could be easy to spot as the non-Israel articles AfDs happened between early April 2007 and early August 2007. The Israeli articles had many AfDs, but constrained to the criteria in your question only the Israeli AfDs of April and June would apply.

I do not call him a troll for participating in an AfD, which has indeed speedily closed, but for his general behavior taken as a whole, a fact that should be obvious to anyone following this arbcom (my mentions of this clearly predate the 7th AfD).
67:
I think it would be appropriate - and I hope have all parties with me - that it would be unfair to present evidence that not all involved parties have access to. I'm not sure how to do it technically, but I have to imagine there must be ways.
653:
I just realized that I commented in an evidence section rather than the workshop page. What do I do now? Should I remove the comment? It now part of a thread under evidence presented by PalestineRemembered. My apologies for the oversight.
773:
I call him a troll because that is how his behavior is like. He uses terms like "Israel hater" but then says it doesn't apply to any of the editors; he says "we" are creating articles to "balance" things, and then denies he is guilty of

of pages to work through, and it could easily take me a few weeks (or more) to work through the list. I'd rather not waste my time researching and everyone else's time reviewing evidence that we can know in advance will be useless.

If one needs deleted revisions for ArbCom evidence purposes, a temporary restore (with blanking and protection) is appropriate, and has been done many times before. Do you need the article restored for this purpose?
363: 269:
On the evidence page, you are supposed to provide evidence, including evidence that you bring up because of other evidence. If you want to discuss what the evidence means, that would belong on the Workshop page.

The arbitration policy is full of generalities and there doesn't look like a good place for this (which is different than the long-standing prohibition on MEDCOM being used as evidence). But I did add a note to

However, his repeated accusation of antisemitism and "israel hating" in the AfD was clearly trolling, as was his opposition to the speedy close that was an obvious response to a POV-driven jumping of process.
838:
I find the repeated allegations by Palestine Remembered to be excessive, unfounded, and uncalled-for, as well as unhelpful. They are completely off-topic, and do not pertain in any way to this proceeding.
618:
And you need to address the other issue, since it concerns whether your analysis has validity. It's not alleged that people were sloppy or inconsistent in their voting pattern, since that isn't

It might be an interesting exercise to look at the people behaving like this on ArbCom pages and wonder just how they would behave in regular editing when the spotlight is not on them!

Can someone please let me know how we can access the history of deleted articles so we can review the evidence being presented? Thanks. --

That is not a call for all or nothing, unless you assume bad faith. But hey, this is what this whole process has turned into by now. --
