== Conflict of interest VRT queue and call for volunteers == |
|||
== Mailing list delays == |
|||
Pursuant to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management#New VRT queue established|remedy 1]] of the ''Conflict of interest management'' case, the Arbitration Committee is pleased to announce that the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Conflict of interest reports|VRT queue for reporting conflict-of-interest or paid editing]] ([[WP:COIVRT]]) is fully operational, while the former queue remains accessible to members of the CheckUser team. Reports should be sent to {{nospam|paid-en-wp|wikipedia.org}} when doing so on-wiki would conflict with the [[WP:OUTING|harassment policy]]. The VRT administrators' work on the queue's creation is appreciated. |
|||
We are advised that there currently are delays in e-mails to and from WMF mailing lists, including Arbcom-l. Both incoming and outgoing mail to and from the list are affected, including both internal committee communications and mails to or from other editors. The issue will hopefully be resolved shortly but obviously that is not within the Committee's control. In the interim, editors who have e-mailed us and not yet received a response are advised that this may be one of the reasons. (The fact that several arbitrators have had end-of-summer vacations or are about to may be another.) [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] ([[User talk:Newyorkbrad|talk]]) 14:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC) |
|||
The Arbitration Committee encourages members of the CheckUser and Oversight teams to patrol the queue. Administrators interested in [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Conflict of interest reports#Appointments|applying for VRT queue access]] and users interested in [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight#Current process|applying for CheckUser and Oversight]] are invited to email {{nospam|arbcom-en-c|wikimedia.org}}. |
|||
Update: This has since been resolved. –[[user:xeno|<font face="verdana" color="black">'''xeno'''</font>]][[user talk:xeno|<font color="black"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 16:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC) |
|||
Finally, the clerks team is in need of new members. Users who wish to [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks#Appointments|become a clerk]] are asked to email {{nospam|clerks-l|lists.wikimedia.org}}. |

# Cirt is topic-banned indefinitely from making any edits to articles related to new religious movements, their adherents, and any related biographies of living people, broadly construed. |

# Cirt is further restricted on biographies of living people if the articles are substantially about, or Cirt's edits introduce material relating to: politics, religion, or social controversy. Cirt is permitted to edit articles incidentally related to such topics provided the articles, and Cirt's edits, are not biographical in nature. The Committee may extend this restriction if BLP-related problems continue, and Cirt may request relaxation of this restriction after one year from this date if there are no further problems. |

# Cirt is desysopped for admitted violations of the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] and [[WP:BLP|biographies of living people]] policies. He may reapply for adminship through [[WP:RFA|requests for adminship]] at any time. |

Neither party may respond directly to any violations of this or any other remedy, but shall report any violations via email directly to the Arbitration Committee. |

The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] is [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight/2011 CUOS appointments|seeking to appoint additional users]] to the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight|CheckUser and Oversight teams]]. Experienced editors are invited to apply for either or both of the permissions, and current holders of either permission are also invited to apply for the other. |
|||
Successful candidates are likely to be regularly available and already familiar with local and global processes, policies, and guidelines especially those concerning [[wikipedia:CheckUser|CheckUser]] and [[wikipedia:Oversight|Oversight]]. CheckUser candidates are expected to be technically proficient, and previous experience with [[OTRS]] is beneficial for Oversight candidates. Trusted users who frequent IRC are also encouraged to apply for either permission. All candidates must at least 18 years of age; have attained legal majority in their jurisdiction of residence; and be willing to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation prior to receiving permissions. |
|||
;Current demand for users with regional knowledge: Because of the increasing activity from the South Asian, Southeast Asian, or Middle Eastern regions, CheckUser applications are particularly sought from people who not only meet our general requirements but also are familiar with the ISPs and typical editing patterns of any of these regions. |
|||
If you think you may be suitably qualified, please see the '''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight/2011 CUOS appointments|appointments page]]''' for further information. The application period is scheduled to close 18 September 2011. |

Conflict of interest VRT queue and call for volunteers
Pursuant to remedy 1 of the Conflict of interest management case, the Arbitration Committee is pleased to announce that the VRT queue for reporting conflict-of-interest or paid editing (WP:COIVRT) is fully operational, while the former queue remains accessible to members of the CheckUser team. Reports should be sent to paid-en-wp
wikipedia.org when doing so on-wiki would conflict with the harassment policy. The VRT administrators' work on the queue's creation is appreciated.
The Arbitration Committee encourages members of the CheckUser and Oversight teams to patrol the queue. Administrators interested in applying for VRT queue access and users interested in applying for CheckUser and Oversight are invited to email arbcom-en-cwikimedia.org.
Finally, the clerks team is in need of new members. Users who wish to become a clerk are asked to email clerks-llists.wikimedia.org.

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely topic banned from removing all content in an article and replacing it with a redirect (commonly known as a blank-and-redirect, or BLAR). This topic ban will be suspended for a period of 12 months. This topic ban may be unsuspended and imposed onto TenPoundHammer if disruption by BLARing restarts, as determined by any of: (1) a consensus of administrators on WP:AE, (2) at least two arbitrators indicating "support" to unsuspend at WP:ARCA, with no opposition from other arbitrators indicated up to 48 hours after the second support, or (3) a majority of active arbitrators at WP:ARCA if there is opposition as indicated in condition 2. After 12 months, if it has not been imposed, the topic ban will be automatically lifted.
