I move to reopen this case. In my opinion, User:William M. Connolley's revert parole has been imposed more out of a perceived sense of "fairness" ("Hey, it is a bad edit conflict - let's punish all!") than any real need. It does not serve any useful purpose, but instead is used by some users (in particular User:SEWilco, who has a long history of conflict with WMC) to stalk WMC and to claim "violations" even on uncontroversial and trivial edits (e.g. Kyoto protocol). See the dicussions on the Administrators Noticeboard. Let me also point out that 6 month is a very long time nowadays - I've seen people go from newbie to admin in less than 6 month, and I have seen admins being considered for bueraucrats after 5 month as admin. As far as I can tell, few of these people have contributed nearly as much as WMC.
- Yes, I know this is against procedure. Yes, I know this might make me part of the case. Let it be so. --Stephan Schulz 10:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Statement by El_C
I would like to second this appeal to lift William M. Connolley's parole. El_C 12:04, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- I think SEWilco should have sought clarification from the Committee to begin with on whether to pursue infractions retroactively, not to mention the how (though keeping an account of these in his userspace seems sensible enough). Because he did not do this, a number of editors (including himself) ended up wasting valuable time and energy that could have otherwise been spent productively elsewhere. Moreoever, his explanations seem to blur the fine-enough line between acting proactively and retroactively, which I also find unfortunate.
- Also, I do not believe the conditions of WMC's parole serve any useful purpose to Misplaced Pages, in terms of a potential disruption of it by himself. And in that sense, then, they now (I'll avoid the argument of what was or was not in the past) in-practice serve as punitive measures, which I am confident no one here, including SEWilco, feels is a correct way to approach dispute resolution on Misplaced Pages.

There are some additional people involved, particularly those affected by the remedies and those involved in implementing and enforcing the remedies.
- The previous parties should participate:
- The previous arbitrators will have to be parties for information to their decisions and actions in implementing the remedies. I think that includes the following (anyone else?):
- Persons responsible for implementing the remedies. (Identity unknown)
- Persons responsible for updating Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Admin enforcement requested. (Identity unknown)
- Persons responsible for monitoring parties in remedies. (Identity unknown)
- Persons responsible for enforcing remedies. (Identity unknown)
- Participants in, and all arbitrators who read (whether they took action or not), Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Admin enforcement requested#William Connolley's parole - enforcement (deleted in the edit 14:29, 29 October 2005 Guettarda).
- Participants in, and all arbitrators who read (whether they took action or not), Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Admin enforcement requested#William M. Connolley.27s parole - enforcement.
- Participants in, and all arbitrators who read (whether they took action or not), Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration#William M. Connolley.27s parole_violation.
- In addition to examining William M. Connolley's parole, a reopening will have to consider giving back their banned Misplaced Pages time to Cortonin and JonGwynne.

Or, you know, they could be sane. Phil Sandifer 04:44, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Response to William M. Connolley
So you'd rather attack me personally than figure out why your parole was not being enforced? The process has to be wide enough to include the people who did not enforce your parole, as for some reason my aid in enforcing the ArbComm decision is being questioned.

I'd like to see SEW's recent behaviour examined: he has been malicious. I would also like my parole clarified (well actually I'd like it revoked). SEW's attempt to make the process so wide as to be unmanageable is absurd, and rather typical of his behaviour. William M. Connolley 22:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC).
