Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Case request page as of this post: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... 1093520360
With 9 accepts this is pretty clearly going to happen, so here's a public thread for it.
Seems that, at the very least, Lugnuts (T-C-L) and Johnpacklambert (T-C-L) are going to be parties. There seems to be some interest among the arbs in adding TenPoundHammer (T-C-L) as well. Others have been suggested but I'm not seeing much publicly stated interest among the arbs for it.
I don't have much prediction as to how this will go other than that there's definitely going to be some inclusionist vs deletionist bickering.
(Also, right now the case name doesn't end in an S, but Mhawk10 (T-C-L) has asked for the S to be added; the merge motion that was enacted said to call the case "Conduct in deletion discussions" so the missing S is probably just a clerking typo).

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
While I think there's merits to a case looking at behavior at AfD, I don't have much faith in the case doing much. "There's problems here so let's have an ill-defined and broad case" generally don't work well, especially if you don't get a broad input of evidence.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Looking at JPL's recent postings, it seems he's sparred with Floquenbeam (T-C-L) on the still-open ANI thread, and then gone to about five various users' talkpages to complain about Floq.
I get the strong sense that he hasn't followed the RFAR at all since his initial post there and still has no clue that it's already got a majority of accept votes.

I am a committed inclusionist and look forward to making Arbcom statements in support of my past nemesises Ten Pound Hammer and John Pack Lambert.
This is a fucking potential witchburning and it must not be allowed to happen.
I agree with neither, but they are COMMITTED Wikipedians who should be treasured, warts and all.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Here's my recommended sanction for JPL:
Make him fix that unsourced first paragraph of [[Sealing (Mormonism) (T-H-L)]]. That has been flagged for sources since 2007!!! It is a FUNDAMENTAL article for the Mormons’ peculiar religion.
JPL has spent HUNDREDS of hours arguing for deletions at AFD. He needs to spend one hour BUILDING THE ENCYCLOPEDIA instead of trying to tear it down.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Quoting Floquenbeam from a recent ANI comment:
On Facebook, Mr Lambert demonstrates his ability for self-reflection:After his previous indef block, I attempted to intervene on his behalf because he appeared so distraught that he was indef blocked, but he does not seem willing to change the stubborn behavior and thin-ice-skating that could lead to another indef block. I won't actively propose an indef block/ban here, because there is an active ArbCom case request and that would complicate the discussion too much. But JPL should not be surprised if he is indef blocked should he keep this up, and I will certainly never attempt to intervene on his behalf again; it doesn't make sense that I put more effort into preventing him from being distraught than he is, and I certainly in retrospect feel like I've been played for a sap.
Every time I think things are going to improve on Wikipedia they just get worse. People find new and more ingenious ways to punish me and attack me. Now it is treated as "attacking" that I nominate one of the 93,567 articles created by Lugnuts for deletion. This is just plain wrong. There is no justice. Only an unjust system, such as the one of Wikipedia, makes it perfectly acceptable to punish victims.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
The first comment anywhere in the case comes on the main case talk page from ARS member FeydHuxtable, with the most bits bolded by me:
...
Yeah, that's totally it! 13 was added just to exonerate him, totally not to examine his behavior for possible sanctions or anything like that! And Arbcom, secret batch of fellow diehard inclusionists that they are, would surely be inclined to pass remedies such as "Deletionists are evil and must be purged" or "Lugnuts is the best and his articles are awesome, all hail Emperor Lugnuts" were it not for the measured words of FeydHuxtable dissuading them from such immoderate statements.FeydHuxtable wrote:It was perplexing to see editor 13 added as a party. He's not a high volume editor like the other 3, nor does he appear on ANI anywhere near as frequently. The last ANI against 13 all but exonerated him, and was much closer to ending in a boomerang for the filer. 13 had generally conducted himself well at the AfD which triggered the ANI, improving the article and not cluttering up the page with lengthy analyses for the WP:GNG pass, which had already been provided by others. Im now assuming the committee added 13 as you see the benefit in giving him a more official exoneration like you did in the Portals case. I'm happy to step up to submit evidence pointing to that remedy.
Have to say though I have mixed feelings about this. I hope this case isn't going to end with a crushing defeat for the delete side as was the case with portals. Many of who argued for the pro portal editors also specifically said we didnt want to see severe sanctions like desysops for the anti portal side. It's a huge mistake to think one can improve the atmosphere at AfD by severe sanctions against the most prolific Deletionists. The Del v Inc tension is a feature, not a problem that can be removed. Even the most staunch inclusionists recognise there needs to be editors on the delete side, and removing the most extreme editors just means a different set of editors will sit at the extreme. So I hope we wont be seeing sanctions more severe than cautions or short time limited topic bans. The latest ANI against 13 should already serve as a strong waring to Deletionists that the community won't accept the view that improving articles at AfD is bad. The WMF inclusion of a prohibition against the "repeated arbitrary or unmotivated removal of any content" in the UCoC is another useful check against deletion. It could be counter productive to send too strong a message against deletionists, who are a very necessary part of the community. FeydHuxtable (talk) 13:59, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
The true, if somewhat impolitic, answer to this question is "yes". That's what it means to be added as a party; it means editors may present evidence against you and the arbs will review that evidence to determine what, if any, sanction is merited. Being a party does not always mean a sanction will ensue, but there's a pretty friggin' high correlation, as somwhat implied by Barkeep pointing out individual examples of case parties that weren't sanctioned.13 wrote: I am perplexed. Am I now a target?
But at least you get to say more words than other individuals on the evidence page. So you got that going for you, which is nice.
That said, I highly doubt a siteban (which 13 seems to worry about later in that thread) is on the table for him. AfD topic ban is probably the harshest he could get, unless he implodes during the case itself, which is of course always a possibility.
Mr. Lambert, on the other hand, should certainly fear a siteban, now that Ritchie33 has come out of the gate pointing out his two previous indef blocks. "Indeffed on two prior occasions, and brought before Arbcom for recent misbehavior" is not a recipe for a bright WP future. He may well make it through even this case without a siteban, but he also might, well, not.

It's never canvassing when the ARS rounds up the posse, is it? Always very neutral notices that certainly aren't trying to gin up a certain outcome.

One of the few (him, FeydHuxtable, JClemens, Dream focus) of the old-school ARSehole Brigade still left.
Of note is his (and Feyd's egging on) bitching over being added as a party to the case and his demand of the Arbs for a bill of particulars (T-H-L). Cheers to Barkeep49 for basically telling him to shut the fuck up and cope.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
I'm actually pretty surprised that, with all the evidence submitted so far, no one's submitted so much as a diff against Lugnuts yet, especially given that the genesis of the whole case was an ANI filed against him.
I'm sure that'll change before too long, but it's still unexpected even at this stage given the previous tenor of the ANI threads.

It is a constant thing at Wikipediocracy, ARS members such as 7&6 have been the target of some of the most vicious ex-users of our community.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
As usual I can't comment on the case itself, but it is amusing to me how many people will go out of their way to say how awful and horrible this website is, and that everyone here is a banned troll, while at the same clearly following it very closely and being fully aware that there are quite a number of active WP users here.
If you really think this is what this website is, why even bother looking at it? Like, I'm vaguely aware that Sucks has like 15 threads just about me personally, but I don't read them because I know it's just garbage with no value.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Is that meant to be a canvassing accusation? I don't really know what else "dog-whistling" could even plausibly be referring to here. The comment in question (Tarc's) is really quite direct, if you ask me.
I found this website in the first place via similar accusations. It's amusing to me how the very people who most object to what goes on here seem to be the most eager to provide direct-links that the out-of-the-loop readers can use to find it.
Incidentally, finally some evidence came in against Lugnuts; now all four have some evidence against them, but not one of them has posted in Evidence themselves yet.
EDIT: From the evidence talkpage:

EDIT: From the evidence talkpage:
I think Mangoe's got it basically right here (though I'm not sure about Tarc being active on WP).I am moved to wonder at the vague allegations made concerning Wikipediocracy's members. If there is some actual evidence of off-site coordination going on, it should be produced, but the passage gives off a strong air of "anyone they attack can't be all bad." It doesn't seem to me that a link to one comment by one person whom I believe active on this project is evidence at all, much less evidence relevant to this case.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Oh my, they really did not like me dredging up the old "ARSehole" epithet, it seems. Most of the Brigade was/is slime, and the way they still have a (virtual, hopefully) orgasm every time one of their venerated saints, I/Okip or A Nobody, is mentioned, is just kinda pathetic really. ARS never existed to write articles, they existed to win deletion discussions with cite-bombing. When they "won", the result was inevitably a puffed-up article on a random hill in Shrewsbury or the 3rd bassist in a obscure polka/metal fusion band.
Let's not forget that admin and once-Arb JClemens wrote a BLP policy-flaunting essay to be weaponized in XfDs... Wikipedia:CRYBLP (T-H-L)
This is basic Alinsky; "Power is not only what you have, but also what the enemy thinks you have". It doesn't matter if I am there or not, just the spectre is enough to spook them. One would of course assume that I'd love to have a hand in a deletion-inclusion Arbcom.I think Mangoe's got it basically right here (though I'm not sure about Tarc being active on WP).
I don't consider myself to be terribly important in the grand pantheon of Wiki-critics...I'm more Daguenet than King Arthur...but goddamn, some people over there really still have their dicks in a pickle about me.

I'm not even sure how to react at this point, I haven't had a conversation turn this weird since I dropped a tab one Homecoming Week and thought the checkerboard tablecloths in the cafe were singing Here Comes the Sun.
This is an encyclopedia project, not a hand-holding therapy retreat. All this talk about alternatives to deletion to avoid hurt feelings is just ridiculous.
How this project works now is like a big empty parking lot, a bunch of brand new cars being unloaded, and people who have never driven before are being given keys and told to go park without error.
The problem with your analogy is that on a sports team the two ides are equal, in that both take the field with the same opportunities to advance, score, and win. Here, the two sides are not equal. We have a word that is widely used to describe a particular prejudicial belief, and we have a tiny handful of people off to one side who don't like it. WP:NPOV doesn't mean "everyone gets a seat at the table", it means "everyone of significance gets a seat at the table". If you're so fond of analogies...we're at the main Thanksgiving table in the dining room, while you're at the kids' fold-out table next to the kitchen.

Getting many proposals on the workshop page to enshrine inclusionist principles.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Can't see ArbCom doing that. They have neither the mandate nor the motivation to do so. The whole thing is becoming exactly the unfocussed mess I predicted earlier. link
They'll end up making vague statements about how to behave in AfD discussions etc, and maybe pick out a few offenders (from both 'sides' for balance) for admonishments or whatever. And then it'll be back to business as usual....

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
Can't knock Jclemens for trying, I guess, but it's extra-laughable when the useless workshop proposals are coming from a former arb who should know better.

Again, can't comment on the specifics of an ongoing case, but I can assure you that nobody on the committee is interested in balancing sanctions between sides.

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
How many times do arbs have to say “we’re not taking action against the ARS” before people stop proposing sanctions against it?

Re: Arbcom case: Conduct in Deletion Discussions
I get that arbitration really only barely touches the vast majority of editors in any tangible way (and mostly that's just discretionary sanctions which they probably mostly never really understand) but it does amaze me constantly how much parties at arbitration rarely seem to understand its scope.Wikiguy.DC wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 9:56 pmHow many times do arbs have to say “we’re not taking action against the ARS” before people stop proposing sanctions against it?

.Conduct in deletion-related editing, with a specific focus on named parties.
Now, the evidence phase was extended, so that persons who thought there should be more named parties could make their case, but as of right now there remain only the four original parties.
As I commented therelink, what we're seeing is not unusual in the workshop and part of the reason I believe we don't need the workshop in many if not most cases.
The real workshopping has been being done on the arbwiki for at least a decade.
