Revision as of 11:38, 15 May 2007

This is a page for working on arbitration decisions. The arbitrators, parties to the case, and other editors may draft proposals and post them to this page for review and comments. Proposals may include proposed general principles, findings of fact, remedies, and enforcement provisions—the same format as is used in Arbitration Committee decisions. The bottom of the page may be used for overall analysis of the /Evidence and for general discussion of the case.

Any user may edit this workshop page. Please sign all suggestions and comments. Arbitrators will place proposed items they believe should be part of the final decision on the /Proposed decision page, which only arbitrators may edit, for voting.

Motions and requests by the parties

Request: Illythr and Alaexis being listed as involved parts in this arbitration

1) Considering their involvement in this case I believe they should be included as "involved parts" in this arbitration. Illythr, for example, without presenting any evidence at apropiate page, is asking me a lot of questions related with arbitration and is accusing me of "Very Bad Faith" (see Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Transnistria/Evidence). I consider unnecessary to answer him until he is an "involved part" in this arbitration. I am wondering why the only opponent actually listed as "involved part" is not submitting his evidence, while he was asked several days ago to submit it through e-mail. This is making more difficult for me to prepare my defence (copied from Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for arbitration/Transnistria/Evidence).--MariusM 23:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser request Buffadren/Mark us street/Showninner/Soonpush

2) I suspected that Buffadren is a sockpuppet of Mark us street (also MarkStreet), editor of Tiraspol Times confirmation of identity to Jayjg and known sockpupeteer , . I made a RCU which was declined, as "User:Mark us street made his last edit in December, which is too old to check". In 24 December Essay blocked the IP of Mark us street for a month, maybe this IP is still registered somewhere and a check can be done. If not, we should check with this IP. Please note that Buffadren registered at Misplaced Pages in 26 January 2007, imediately after the one-month block of Mark us street's IP was over and he is pushing to include "Tiraspol Times" as a source in Misplaced Pages articles . Similarities between Mark us street and Buffadren: Mark us street telling that opponent may be conected with rival media, Buffadren telling that opponent has a personal comercial interest against Tiraspol Times. Please note that in the first case the person accused of having personal comercial interest in editing Wiki was me, in the second case Jonathanpops, person changed, but the style remained the same. Also the usage of expression "black propagandist/black propaganda" by Buffadren and Mark us street.

In 12 May, admin Future Perfect at Sunrise blocked other 2 users accusing them of being sockpuppets of Bonaparte (Showninner and Soonpush) . While I agree that those 2 newbies are likely sockpuppets, I consider this an attempt to hide the real sockpuppeteer. I suspect User:Buffadren as being the sockpuppeteer of Showninner and Soonpush and I ask arbcom to aprove a checkuser for Buffadren-Mark us street-Showninner-Soonpush (with Mark us street's IP mentioned above if no other IP of Mark us street is recorded). Verification of the usage of open proxies is also necesary. Soonpush activities - changing "Transnistria" with "Trans-dniester" and Showninner activities - eliminating category "Moldovan politicians" from some Transnistrian politicians pages (implying that Transnistria is not part of Moldova) don't match with Bonaparte's style, but is matching with Buffadren/Mark us street and as a second posibility, with User:Dikarka or User:Helen28.--MariusM 14:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I couldn't wait to arbcom to decide (it takes too long to answer my requests) and I asked a checkuser, which confirmed that Buffadren is a sock of "Tiraspol Times" editor User:MarkStreet (also Mark us street, Henco, Esgert, Truli). Showninner and Soonpush were confirmed as being only one person, but not as being Mark us street/Buffadren .--MariusM 15:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Tiraspol Times editor and sockpuppeteer MarkStreet/Esgert/Truli/Mark us street/Henco/Buffadren to be listed as involved part

3) As edit wars in Transnistria-related articles is mainly because of the attempts to introduce in Wiki articles a propagandistic image of Transnistria like in "Tiraspol Times", MarkStreet/Mark us street/Buffadren were part of edit wars (check their block log, keep in mind that they are only one person), we need to have MarkStreet, under whatever name he will appear, as involved part of this arbitration. It is also a problem of a Conflict of interest. MarkStreet confirming as being editor of Tiraspol Times, confirmation of identity to Jayig (at that time, the link http://tiraspoltimes.com/aboutus.html mentioned MarkStreet's name with a link back at his Misplaced Pages userpage), Mark us street explaining that he is same person as MarkStreet, Henco = MarkStreet, Esgert = Truli = Mark us street, Buffadren = Mark us street.--MariusM 19:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed temporary injunctions

Revert parole

1) William Mauco (talk · contribs), MariusM (talk · contribs), EvilAlex (talk · contribs), Domitius (talk · contribs), Alaexis (talk · contribs), and Buffadren (talk · contribs) are limited to one content revert per article per day until the conclusion of this case. Furthermore, each content revert must be accompanied by a rationale on the article's talk page.

Comment by parties:

These are the main parties edit warring. Transnistria (and perhaps other related articles) are currently protected because of the continued edit warring despite William Mauco and his sockpuppets' blocks. Dmcdevit·t 09:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

If there is any temporary injunction approved, involved parts should be informed in their talk page or at least on the article talk page. Only today I saw this proposal (which seems was not yet aproved), actual situation is that users are blocked based only on some admins moods. In 17 April (before this proposal was made) I was blocked for only one edit in article Transnistria, despite many edits in talkpage.--MariusM 00:15, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment by others:

The latest article protection has just expired. Given the highly fluctuating cast on the show, I'd personally prefer injunctions defined by-article, not by-user. De facto we already have a state of informal article probation, enforced by blocks handed out well below the 3R level. This seems more flexible to me. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

That's better than nothing, but I'm concerned they'll simply continue warring on other pages. That's typically what happens with such cases, ad why arbcom has largely stopped using topical and per-article probations and revert paroles, which were common early on.

1c) Buffadren (talk · contribs) is a sock- or meatpuppet of MarkStreet. Although he did not use both accounts simultaneously, he has violated WP:SOCK by persistently denying any relation with MarkStreet, thus faking a larger amount of editorial support for the positions they both advocated. He has edited disruptively by engaging in extended revert wars and pushing for the inclusion of links to his external site.
