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.

Proposed final decision

Purpose of Wikipedia

1) Wikipedia is a project to create a neutral encyclopedia. Use of the site for other purposes—including, but not limited to, advocacy or propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle—is prohibited.

Comment by parties:

The evidence shows that I have successfully made a large number of edits in regards to the single WikiProject that I particpate in.[1] The evidence further has shown that I have done nothing but promote high quality articles that are suitable for a neutral encyclopedia.

The facts are that User and Talk pages exist. The facts are that I did in fact, cut out a considerable amount of content[2] from my user page that was originally added years and years ago. It is, also, well known that all editor added hyperlinks in Wikipedia have a nofollow tag added to them which makes any type of search engine benefit impossible. Merely stating your outside interests on your user pages does not automatically constitute advocacy or propaganda, furtherance of outside conflicts, and political or ideological struggle. -- John Gohde (talk) 23:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Decorum

2) Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably and calmly in their interactions with other users, to keep their cool when editing, and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct—including, but not limited to, personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, and gaming the system—is prohibited. Users should not respond to such behavior in kind; concerns regarding the actions of other users should be brought up in the appropriate forums.

The evidence shows that I had made some 1,000 edits successfully without incident prior to the RfC. For a brief period of time, I did regrettably allow the badgering of

User:Fyslee

in his/her edit summaries to slip up a few times. But, having realized my error I did in fact correct my behavior prior to the filing of the RfC, let alone this arbitration case.

Furthermore, in the face of the large numbers of personal attacks being posted in both the RfC and AE actions; parties to an arbitration case should not be required to act like saints and to otherwise exhibit superhuman characteristics while others who should have likewise known better are allowed to make personal attack after personal attack.

I, however, do acknowledge my prior slip ups and agree not to repeat any type of offensive behavior in the future. -- John Gohde (talk) 23:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
