all proposed

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

Only items that receive a majority aye vote will be enacted.
Items that receive a majority nay vote will be formally rejected.
Items that do not receive a majority aye or nay vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were enacted.

On this case, 0 Arbitrators is/are recused and 1 is away/inactive, so 6 votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on.

Proposed temporary injunctions

Civility

Consensus

3) As put forward in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, Wikipedia works by building consensus. This is done through the use of polite discussion, in an attempt to develop a consensus regarding proper application of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines such as Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Surveys and the Request for comment process are designed to assist consensus-building when normal talk page communication has not worked.

Don't like the way this can be interperted. Osama bin Laden's point-of-view of Jews, for example is significant (it being shared by many). This doesn't mean that bin Laden's view should be given equal space in the Jew article. Neutrality^talk 21:59, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

Revert warring

Proposed remedies

Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.

POV parole

1) JonGwynne is placed on POV parole for up to and including one year. If he re-inserts any edits which are judged by a majority of those commenting on the relevant talk page in a 24-hour poll to be a violation of the NPOV policy, then he shall be temp-banned for a short time, up to one week. Repeat deletions of text, similarly judged to result in a violation of NPOV, shall be treated in the same way.

Nay:

Fred Bauder 15:42, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC) I will always oppose a remedy which gives the majority of those editing an article the ability to block another user on the basis of addition or removal of content.
Delirium 23:28, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC) Don't think this is a good idea.
This does need to be addressed, but in different fashion. See 3) below. -- Grun t 🇪🇺 16:16, 2005 Mar 3 (UTC)

Personal attack parole

2) JonGwynne is placed on standard personal attack parole for three months. If he makes any edits which are judged by an administrator to be personal attacks, then he shall be temp-banned for a short time of up to one week.

Aye:

I've seen enough incivility here to warrant this, I think. -- Grun t 🇪🇺 21:46, 2005 Feb 24 (UTC)
