Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Proposed decision

Please read this notice before submitting any material (evidence or workshop proposals or comments) on the case or talk pages. The scope of this case is: Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. Evidence which does not meet these requirements will be removed by the clerks. The drafting arbitrators may add additional parties to this case as required (if you believe another editor should be added please make a request on the Evidence talk page and ping the drafting arbitrators). All participants are reminded that breaches of the biographies of living persons policy and the no personal attacks policy are prohibited. The clerks are authorised to issue an only warning to any editor who posts inappropriate comments; if the warning is not heeded to, the editor may either be restricted from participating in this case or be blocked at the clerk's discretion. The Committee will be using the arbcom-en-blists.wikimedia.org email address for this case; private evidence should be submitted to that address. Before communicating by email with the Committee, please read our "Communications and privacy" statement.

v t e

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties, and editors at /Workshop, arbitrators may make proposals which are ready for voting. Arbitrators will vote for or against each provision, or they may abstain. Only items which are supported by an absolute majority of the active, non-recused arbitrators will pass into the final decision. Conditional votes and abstentions will be denoted as such by the arbitrator, before or after their time-stamped signature. For example, an arbitrator can state that their support vote for one provision only applies if another provision fails to pass (these are denoted as "first" and "second choice" votes). Only arbitrators and clerks may edit this page, but non-arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

For this case there are 11 active arbitrators, not counting 3 recused. 6 support or oppose votes are a majority.

If observing editors notice any discrepancies between the arbitrators' tallies and the final decision or the #Implementation notes, you should post to the clerk talk page. Similarly, arbitrators may request clerk assistance via the same method, or via the clerks' mailing list.

Under no circumstances may this page be edited by anyone other than members of the Arbitration Committee or the clerks. Please submit comments on the proposed decision in your own section on the talk page.
