all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other Arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

  • Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
  • Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
  • Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if they 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 passed.

On this case, no arbitrators are recused and 2 are inactive, so 7 votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Motions and requests by the parties[edit]

Place those on /Workshop.

Proposed temporary injunctions[edit]

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first vote is normally the fastest an injunction will be imposed.

Naming convention for places[edit]

4) Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places).

Anaheim Hills[edit]

2) Anaheim Hills is a community in California located within Anaheim, California. Googling for "Anaheim Hills" returns about 1,270,000 hits. Searches for "Anaheim Hills" are sufficient that they register at Google Trends [1], but are much less than searches for "Anaheim" alone [2]. Some searches for "Anaheim Hills anaheim california" register [3].

Communities[edit]

3) There are a number of notable communities or neighborhoods, new and old, which are commonly known by names which do not comport with the services offered by the United States Postal Service or with official city boundaries or designations. In addition to Anaheim Hills, Manhattan, Bonanza, Colorado, Park Hill (Denver), Capital Hill (Denver), and the Baca Grande are examples of such common usage.

Introduction of original research by Ericsaindon2[edit]

4) Ericsaindon2 has introduced material into Wikipedia which is original research, in some instances plainly false "Anaheim Hills is an incorporated community", :incorporated in 1972", "which is run as an independent city", promotion of Cleveland National Forest to a national park, a city, city, city, city, city, possible bogus city seal, [4], and the wealthy hills theory.

Disrupting Wikipedia to make a point[edit]

6) Ericsaindon2, after the article on Anaheim Hills was moved to "Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California", made a number of analogous title changes to other articles, some quite disruptive [5]. This included the move of Manhattan to "Manhattan, New York (state)". One supposes the point was to point out the absurdity of the changes.

Discussion by Arbitrators[edit]

General[edit]

Motion to close[edit]

Implementation notes[edit]

Clerks and Arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.

  • The majority is 6.
  • Everything passes 6-0 except Finding 3, which fails.

Vote[edit]

Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first motion is normally the fastest a case will close.
