Create your own section to provide evidence in, and do not edit anyone else's section. Please keep your evidence concise, and within the default limits. If you wish to exceed the default lengths, you must request the agreement of the arbitrators to do so on the /Evidence talk page before posting. Unapproved overlength evidence, or inappropriate material and/or diffs, may be refactored, redacted or removed entirely.

Any editor may add evidence to this page, irrespective of whether they are involved in the dispute. Create your own section and do not edit another editor's section. By default, the evidence submission length is limited to about 1000 words and about 100 diffs for named parties; and about 500 words and about 50 diffs for non-party editors. While in general it is is more effective to make succinct yet detailed submissions, users who wish to submit over-length evidence may do so by posting a request on the /Evidence talk page. Unapproved overlong evidence may be trimmed to size or removed by the Clerk without warning.

Focus on the issues that are important to the dispute and on diffs which illustrate the nature of the dispute.

You must use the prescribed format in your evidence. Evidence should include a link to the actual page diff in question, or to a short page section; links to the page itself are insufficient. Never link to a page history, an editor's contributions, or a log for all actions of an editor (as those change over time), although a link to a log for a specific article or a specific block log can be useful. Please make sure any page section links are permanent; see simple diff and link guide.

General discussion of the case will not be accepted on this page, and belongs on the talk page. The Arbitration Committee expects that all rebuttals of other evidence submissions will be included in your own section and will explain how the evidence is incorrect. Please do not refactor the page or remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, only an Arbitrator or Clerk may move it.

Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop, which is open for comment by parties, Arbitrators, and others. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact, or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators (and Clerks, when clarification on votes is needed) may edit the proposed decision page.

Evidence presented by James Cantor

Evidence of off-wiki campaign influencing on-wiki events

• NYTimes reporting on campaign of harassment by Jokestress against J. Michael Bailey.
• Jokestress’ Bailey-related target list.
• Peer-reviewed, comprehensive analysis of campaign, by bioethicist/historian. Coverage received a Guggenheim Award.

Evidence of chilling effect

• Evidence of Jokestress' protracted conflicts with openly trans- Wikipedian, User:Hfarmer.
• Jokestress’ updated target list, naming User:Hfarmer.
• Jokestress’ most-wanted list (including Hfarmer), asking readers "If you have received an email, attachment or photo from someone using these names or IP addresses in 2004 or earlier, please forward it to me for analysis,” so that she could "vector and expose" them.
• Example of results of off-wiki campaign against Hfarmer.

Evidence that Jokestress’ POV-pushing predates Cantor

Cantor joins WP in May, 2008; never edited before then.

Evidence that Jokestress’ distruptions occur without Cantor (2008+)

• ANI Jokestress re homosexual transsexual etc.
• ANI Archive438
• ANI Crusade
• ANI Andrea James
• ANI The faith and constructiveness of an editors edits in one subject area
• COIN Jokestress
• COIN Homosexual transsexual
• RSN Guidance on pseudodymous authors
• Requests for mediation/Rejected/40#Homosexual transsexual
• Mediation Cabal/Cases/2008-11-25

Evidence of other POV-pushing

• Adding links to her for-profit website (2004).
• Removing links to business competitors' sites (2005, 2006).
• Creating page about her business partner, Calpernia Addams (2005).
• Disrupting DYN discussion w/ uninvolved editors to push anti-Cantor POV (2010).
• Sustained/repeated counter-consensus additions of homosexuality to List of paraphilias (2008, 2010, 2012).

Evidence presented by Jokestress

Current word length: 34; diff count: 0.

Background

Cantor's a key figure in major ethical controversies in sexology. His edits promote himself/allies or denigrate critics. Cantor's alliance here owns relevant sexology articles, often hindering inclusion of competing conceptualizations and making personal attacks.

Analysis of James Cantor's evidence that Jokestress is a disruptor prior to 2008

Filing a complaint does not constitute disruption. If so, it would be really easy to get someone banned by filing many complaints. Here is the analysis of his evidence:

• COIN Jokestress

  Bare complaint without independent confirmation. Nobody even responded to the claim, no warning or anything at Jokestress' page.

• COIN Homosexual transsexual

  Complaint was against Jokestress, but the responses are in favor of her in that they concluded that a picture User:Hfarmer is not an appropriate image for the article.

• Requests for mediation/Rejected/40#Homosexual transsexual

  Rejection of a mediation case is not disruption.
