Please note the instruction for your statement in the Gamergate request for a case:
Your statement is at 654 words, so is over the limit. I realize it isn't far over, but several statements are over, and I am contacting anyone who is over 500. Please recall that this statement is not intended to be a full exposition of all evidence, which occurs at the next step, but simply a statement requesting a case. Please trim back your statement.

Hello Tutelary. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

I'm sorry if I came out harsh wasn't my intention, didn't know you added that, right now the article probably needs a descpriptive section, and maybe a background section but there isn't a lot to add.

User:The Devil's Advocate, I am actually a bit shocked at what they've done. I was also viewing on the board /b/ that they were trying to dox me like some other site has done. They didn't get very far, which tells me how really skillful they are, but still, I was just kind of shocked by the whole thing. Obviously I'm not gonna say that '8chan doxed me' but a 'user on 8chan attempted to dox me', yes. I figured that maybe Frederick Brennan, regarding the h8chan remark and the original page being a disambiguation page that any type of page would be beneficial, no matter how negative. (The overwhelming amount of sources are negative.) Now, the content on the page is in need of a huge reform because there's -alot- of original research present in the article now. I mean a lot of it. They euphemized Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu even though the vast majority of them are the only ones relating to 8chan. Bleh, I need to make a comprehensive note on the talk about it. I'll probably do that after the name change is done. But thanks for keeping me in the loop and providing cute anime characters for me to giggle at. ^^ Tutelary ( talk) 19:21, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I just started creating a page on Wikipedia and saved it. I didn't mean for it to go live or anything... I just wanted to save it as a draft because it's going to take me a few days to finish writing it, but I saw that you already submitted it for deletion.

The following sanction has been imposed on you:
Indefinite topic ban on edits and discussion related to GamerGate, broadly construed. This ban does not include participation on ArbCom pages regarding any relevant case.
You have been sanctioned for long-term disruption
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator as authorised by the community's decision at Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Gamergate, and the procedure described by the general sanctions guidelines. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions for that decision. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction at the administrators' noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Gamaliel ( talk) 17:31, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello again Tutelary. I noticed your various posts objecting to your topic-ban and that they were, in part, predicated upon the need for a warning prior to the imposition of sanctions.
Unfortunately, the blurb you are quoting from here is the result of a mistaken copy-paste of an old community sanction blurb from elsewhere in the same list. The description of the sanctions regime at WP:GS/GG has the correct text and no warning is required. Of course, a notification is required but, as was relatively recently clarified by ArbCom, notifications and warnings are not the same. Under the current process for ArbCom imposed discretionary sanctions (which the community sanctions attempt to mirror), a warning is a sanction.
Speaking as someone with experience (as an administrator) of both discretionary and community sanctions, your current approach to seeking the removal of your topic ban is unlikely to bear fruit. For good or for ill, such sanctions do not require discussion derived consensus in the usual way and so your suggestion that User:Gamaliel "hijacked" a discussion to to impose sanctions is likely to be interpreted as arising from a misunderstanding of the sanctions regime.
All that being said, I am most definitely wiki-involved in the topic in question and, moreover, I have consistently adopted a perspective on the substantive issues incompatible with your own. Thus, it would be reasonable for you to treat any advice from me with deep caution. CIreland ( talk) 20:51, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

You've misinterpreted the general sanctions, and I believe you should rescind your accusations against Gamaliel at the GG case evidence page. Originally, "warnings" and "notifications" were the same thing, meaning that there was no difference between a sanctions notification and a warning. This was deemed to be problematic for a variety of reasons, and hence, what were once called "warnings" became "notifications". This change only happened earlier this year, and there has been some residual usage of the word "warning". Now, there is no such thing as a "warning" of GS apart from a "notification". No "warning" other than the notification is required to sanction an editor. Notifications are required, and they must be logged. Please read WP:AC/DS and WP:GS. Also, please note the text of WP:GS/GG#Remedies. I'll have you know that this type of behaviour is called " Wikilawyering", and is hardly likely to get you anywhere you want to go.

Your evidence section is well over the limit of 1000 words. I count 1486 words. You either need explicit permission from one of the drafting arbs, or you need to trim your evidence. (I note above that you asked for an exception. I do not think the arbs have seen it. I will check with them.) Yes, the copy of the GS sanctions count.

As it concerns your topic ban, conduct on noticeboards regarding a dispute in a topic area is generally within the bounds of general sanctions. I believe you would be better served addressing various other issues with Gamaliel's actions. His effective supervoting on a split discussion, his support for an indefinite topic ban, the fact the basis of the request was a report that did see support for your proposal, and his being involved in the dispute, particularly by previously pushing for you to be topic-banned at ANI. There are various issues you could raise with his topic ban. Whether your ANI request fell within the scope of the general sanctions is not really an issue to raise.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 07:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

The arbs are leaning toward a doubling of the usual limits on evidence for this specific case. I am still waiting for final sign-off, but it seems likely that most participants will not need to trim evidence. Three relevant points:
Thanks for the Barn, I think this might've been what you meant by something we disagreed about? Specifics tend to fade over time. I'm thinking maybe by focusing on gentle-prodding of articles (clarifying reference-content links seems to be a god step) rather than massive-lump changes may lead to fewer rage-quits on my behalf. Unfortunately if it was GG-related the archives of talk be so mass that it would be an adventure trying to refresh about what it was regarding. Ranze ( talk) 08:45, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

In the interests of making this case more easily manageable, it is likely that we will prune the parties list to limit it to those against whom evidence has been submitted. Therefore, if anyone has anything to add, now is the time to do so.
See the list of parties not included in the evidence as of 8 Dec 14.
Please note that the purpose of the /Evidence page is to provide narrative, context and all the diffs. As diffs can usually be interpreted in various ways, to avoid ambiguity, they should be appended to the allegation that's being made. If the material is private and the detail has been emailed to ArbCom, add [private evidence] instead of diffs.
The /Workshop page builds on evidence. FOFs about individual editors should contain a summary of the allegation made in /Evidence, and diffs to illustrate the allegation. Supplying diffs makes it easier for the subject of the FOF to respond and much easier for arbitrators to see whether your FOF has substance.
No allegations about other editors should be made either in /Evdence or in the /Workshop without supporting diffs. Doing so may expose you to findings of making personal attacks and casting aspersions.
Also, please note that the evidence lengths have been increased from about 1000 words and about 100 diffs for parties and about 500 words and about diffs for non-parties to a maximum of 2000 words and 200 diffs for parties and 1000 words and 100 diffs for non-parties.

The reason why I am leaving Wikipedia is my awareness of my complicity in adding content that was highly objectionable, and using transphobic wording in my past, and I would prefer to dissociate myself from this kind of content. So the more accurate thing to say is that Birdo made me leave Wikipedia. You are correct in that Wikipedia does not have guidelines or policies that protect articles such as Birdo or Poison from using transphobic reception, and I don't feel very comfortable with that. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 22:44, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Much of the information which Cwobeel presented was pulled to be more negative. The vast majority were actually good arguments by good people. User:ChrisGualtieri/sandbox contains two sections which the second is an almost entirely rewritten version of Shooting of Michael Brown#To grand jury process and result and its broken down by type commentary. Is the sandboxed version perfect? Far from it, but it still uses Roger Parloff, Jay Sterling Silver, Jeffrey Toobin, Dan Abrams, Paul Cassell, Michael Smerconish, William Fitzpatrick, Ben Casselman and Harry Bruinius. Of which are all included in the article - but Toobin's use focusing on the unique "personally invested" argument as it relates specifically to this matter. Toobin's article is more on the conflict of interest of police and prosecutor and it is why I actually found the full comment (and not some out of context snippet from the LA Times) and held it up as a proper argument that was not included in the article. I actually like quite a few of the sources for their arguments and conclusions, but this has been little emphasized. Sorry to reply here, but I did not want to clutter ANI up. I hope that helps clarify the issue. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 02:31, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the discussion at user talk:SqueakBox, I'm not sure I agree with your interpretation of my spiel. The edit [1] at bear (gay culture) got me quite worried. But if you feel it's detrimental to the editing climate overall, I won't object if you redact my comments.

I was reading through Talk:Death of Leelah Alcorn, having recently brought the somewhat related Murder of Dwayne Jones up to GA status, and noticed your well-reasoned comments. Clicking on your user page, I then came across your "discouraged about Wikipedia" post, and just thought that I'd post a message to say "hello, and don't be too discouraged!". We all do get discouraged with the project from time to time (hell, I've been here nigh on a decade and it's happened to me a lot over that period), particularly when dealing with some of our more stubborn and unpleasant comrades or when faced with the daunting vastness of the work ahead. But those feelings can pass, and I hope that they do for you too. All the best, and happy new year! Midnightblueowl ( talk) 15:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
1.1)
(i) The community Gamergate general sanctions are hereby rescinded and are replaced by standard discretionary sanctions, which are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed.
(ii) All sanctions in force when this remedy is enacted are endorsed and will become standard discretionary sanctions governed by the standard procedure from the moment of enactment.
(iii) Notifications issued under Gamergate general sanctions become alerts for twelve months from the date of enactment of this remedy, then expire. The log of notifications will remain on the Gamergate general sanction page.
(iv) All existing and past sanctions and restrictions placed under Gamergate general sanctions will be transcribed by the arbitration clerks in the central discretionary sanctions log.
(v) Any requests for enforcement that may be open when this remedy is enacted shall proceed, but any remedy that is enacted should be enacted as a discretionary sanction.
(vi) Administrators who have enforced the Gamergate general sanctions are thanked for their work and asked to continue providing administrative assistance enforcing discretionary sanctions and at Arbitration enforcement.
1.2)
Uninvolved administrators are encouraged to monitor the articles covered by discretionary sanctions in this case to ensure compliance. To assist in this, administrators are reminded that:
(i) Accounts with a clear shared agenda may be blocked if they violate the sockpuppetry policy or other applicable policy;
(ii) Accounts whose primary purpose is disruption, violating the policy on biographies of living persons, or making personal attacks may be blocked indefinitely;
(iii) There are special provisions in place to deal with editors who violate the BLP policy;
(iv) The default position for BLPs, particularly for individuals whose noteworthiness is limited to a particular event or topic, is the presumption of privacy for personal matters;
(v) Editors who spread or further publicize existing BLP violations may be blocked;
(vi) Administrators may act on clear BLP violations with page protections, blocks, or warnings even if they have edited the article themselves or are otherwise involved;
(vii) Discretionary sanctions permit full and semi-page protections, including use of pending changes where warranted, and – once an editor has become aware of sanctions for the topic – any other appropriate remedy may be issued without further warning.
The Arbitration Committee thanks those administrators who have been helping to enforce the community general sanctions, and thanks, once again, in advance those who help enforce the remedies adopted in this case.
2.1) Any editor subject to a topic-ban in this decision is indefinitely prohibited from making any edit about, and from editing any page relating to, (a) Gamergate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
4.1) NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
5.1) Ryulong ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
5.3) Ryulong ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely banned from the English Language Wikipedia. They may request reconsideration of the ban twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
6.2) TaraInDC ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground and advised to better conduct themselves.
7.2) Tarc ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
7.3) Tarc ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is strongly warned that should future misconduct occur in any topic area, he may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion of the Arbitration Committee.
8.2) The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
8.3) Subject to the usual exceptions, The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is prohibited from making any more than one revert on any one page in any 48-hour period. This applies for all pages on the English Wikipedia, except The Devil's Advocate's own user space. This restriction may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
8.4) Subject to the usual exceptions, The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely prohibited from editing any administrative or conduct noticeboard (including, not not limited to; AN, AN/I, AN/EW, and AE), except for threads regarding situations that he was directly involved in when they were started. This restriction may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
8.5) The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is strongly warned that should future misconduct occur in any topic area, he may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion of the Arbitration Committee. Further, the committee strongly suggests that The Devil's Advocate refrains from editing contentious topic areas in the future.
9) TheRedPenOfDoom ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground and advised to better conduct themselves.
10.1) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic ban preventing Tutelary ( talk · contribs) from editing under the Gamergate general sanctions. This ban is converted to an Arbitration Committee-imposed ban. Tutelary ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
12) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic bans preventing ArmyLine ( talk · contribs), DungeonSiegeAddict510 ( talk · contribs), and Xander756 ( talk · contribs) from editing under the Gamergate general sanctions. The topic bans for these three editors are converted to indefinite restrictions per the standard topic ban.
13) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic ban preventing Titanium Dragon ( talk · contribs) from editing under BLP enforcement. This ban is converted to an Arbitration Committee-imposed ban. Titanium Dragon is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
14.1) Loganmac ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
15) Willhesucceed ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
18) The Arbitration Committee urges that knowledgeable and non-conflicted users not previously involved in editing GamerGate-related articles, especially GamerGate-related biographies of living people, should carefully review them for adherence to Wikipedia policies and address any perceived or discovered deficiencies. This is not a finding that the articles are or are not satisfactory in their present form, but an urging that independent members of the community examine the matter in light of the case.

Hello Tutelary. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

User:The Devil's Advocate, I am actually a bit shocked at what they've done. I was also viewing on the board /b/ that they were trying to dox me like some other site has done. They didn't get very far, which tells me how really skillful they are, but still, I was just kind of shocked by the whole thing. Obviously I'm not gonna say that '8chan doxed me' but a 'user on 8chan attempted to dox me', yes. I figured that maybe Frederick Brennan, regarding the h8chan remark and the original page being a disambiguation page that any type of page would be beneficial, no matter how negative. (The overwhelming amount of sources are negative.) Now, the content on the page is in need of a huge reform because there's -alot- of original research present in the article now. I mean a lot of it. They euphemized Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu even though the vast majority of them are the only ones relating to 8chan. Bleh, I need to make a comprehensive note on the talk about it.

I just wanted to save it as a draft because it's going to take me a few days to finish writing it, but I saw that you already submitted it for deletion. How do I save my Wikipedia page I am working on, as a draft? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clairemckinneypr ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

The following sanction has been imposed on you:
Indefinite topic ban on edits and discussion related to GamerGate, broadly construed. This ban does not include participation on ArbCom pages regarding any relevant case.
You have been sanctioned for long-term disruption
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator as authorised by the community's decision at Wikipedia:General_sanctions/Gamergate, and the procedure described by the general sanctions guidelines. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions for that decision. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction at the administrators' noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Gamaliel ( talk) 17:31, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello again Tutelary. I noticed your various posts objecting to your topic-ban and that they were, in part, predicated upon the need for a warning prior to the imposition of sanctions.
Unfortunately, the blurb you are quoting from here is the result of a mistaken copy-paste of an old community sanction blurb from elsewhere in the same list. The description of the sanctions regime at WP:GS/GG has the correct text and no warning is required. Of course, a notification is required but, as was relatively recently clarified by ArbCom, notifications and warnings are not the same. Under the current process for ArbCom imposed discretionary sanctions (which the community sanctions attempt to mirror), a warning is a sanction.
Speaking as someone with experience (as an administrator) of both discretionary and community sanctions, your current approach to seeking the removal of your topic ban is unlikely to bear fruit. For good or for ill, such sanctions do not require discussion derived consensus in the usual way and so your suggestion that User:Gamaliel "hijacked" a discussion to to impose sanctions is likely to be interpreted as arising from a misunderstanding of the sanctions regime.
All that being said, I am most definitely wiki-involved in the topic in question and, moreover, I have consistently adopted a perspective on the substantive issues incompatible with your own. Thus, it would be reasonable for you to treat any advice from me with deep caution. CIreland ( talk) 20:51, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

You've misinterpreted the general sanctions, and I believe you should rescind your accusations against Gamaliel at the GG case evidence page. Originally, "warnings" and "notifications" were the same thing, meaning that there was no difference between a sanctions notification and a warning. This was deemed to be problematic for a variety of reasons, and hence, what were once called "warnings" became "notifications". This change only happened earlier this year, and there has been some residual usage of the word "warning". Now, there is no such thing as a "warning" of GS apart from a "notification". No "warning" other than the notification is required to sanction an editor. Notifications are required, and they must be logged. Please read WP:AC/DS and WP:GS. Also, please note the text of WP:GS/GG#Remedies. I'll have you know that this type of behaviour is called " Wikilawyering", and is hardly likely to get you anywhere you want to go.

Your evidence section is well over the limit of 1000 words. I count 1486 words. You either need explicit permission from one of the drafting arbs, or you need to trim your evidence. (I note above that you asked for an exception. I do not think the arbs have seen it. I will check with them.) Yes, the copy of the GS sanctions count.

As it concerns your topic ban, conduct on noticeboards regarding a dispute in a topic area is generally within the bounds of general sanctions. I believe you would be better served addressing various other issues with Gamaliel's actions. His effective supervoting on a split discussion, his support for an indefinite topic ban, the fact the basis of the request was a report that did see support for your proposal, and his being involved in the dispute, particularly by previously pushing for you to be topic-banned at ANI. There are various issues you could raise with his topic ban. Whether your ANI request fell within the scope of the general sanctions is not really an issue to raise.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 07:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

The arbs are leaning toward a doubling of the usual limits on evidence for this specific case. I am still waiting for final sign-off, but it seems likely that most participants will not need to trim evidence. Three relevant points:
Thanks for the Barn, I think this might've been what you meant by something we disagreed about? Specifics tend to fade over time. I'm thinking maybe by focusing on gentle-prodding of articles (clarifying reference-content links seems to be a god step) rather than massive-lump changes may lead to fewer rage-quits on my behalf.

In the interests of making this case more easily manageable, it is likely that we will prune the parties list to limit it to those against whom evidence has been submitted. Therefore, if anyone has anything to add, now is the time to do so.
See the list of parties not included in the evidence as of 8 Dec 14.
Please note that the purpose of the /Evidence page is to provide narrative, context and all the diffs. As diffs can usually be interpreted in various ways, to avoid ambiguity, they should be appended to the allegation that's being made. If the material is private and the detail has been emailed to ArbCom, add [private evidence] instead of diffs.
The /Workshop page builds on evidence. FOFs about individual editors should contain a summary of the allegation made in /Evidence, and diffs to illustrate the allegation. Supplying diffs makes it easier for the subject of the FOF to respond and much easier for arbitrators to see whether your FOF has substance.
No allegations about other editors should be made either in /Evdence or in the /Workshop without supporting diffs. Doing so may expose you to findings of making personal attacks and casting aspersions.
Also, please note that the evidence lengths have been increased from about 1000 words and about 100 diffs for parties and about 500 words and about diffs for non-parties to a maximum of 2000 words and 200 diffs for parties and 1000 words and 100 diffs for non-parties.

The reason why I am leaving Wikipedia is my awareness of my complicity in adding content that was highly objectionable, and using transphobic wording in my past, and I would prefer to dissociate myself from this kind of content. So the more accurate thing to say is that Birdo made me leave Wikipedia.

Much of the information which Cwobeel presented was pulled to be more negative. The vast majority were actually good arguments by good people. User:ChrisGualtieri/sandbox contains two sections which the second is an almost entirely rewritten version of Shooting of Michael Brown#To grand jury process and result and its broken down by type commentary. Is the sandboxed version perfect? Far from it, but it still uses Roger Parloff, Jay Sterling Silver, Jeffrey Toobin, Dan Abrams, Paul Cassell, Michael Smerconish, William Fitzpatrick, Ben Casselman and Harry Bruinius. Of which are all included in the article - but Toobin's use focusing on the unique "personally invested" argument as it relates specifically to this matter. Toobin's article is more on the conflict of interest of police and prosecutor and it is why I actually found the full comment (and not some out of context snippet from the LA Times) and held it up as a proper argument that was not included in the article. I actually like quite a few of the sources for their arguments and conclusions, but this has been little emphasized. Sorry to reply here, but I did not want to clutter ANI up.

Regarding
this where you ask about editors who are no longer arbitators acting on the case this is covered in
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy#Arbitration_proceedings "An arbitrator whose term expires while a case is pending may remain active on that case until its conclusion. Newly appointed arbitrators may become active on any matter before the Committee with immediate effect from the date of their appointment.
" Hope that helps. —

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
1.1)
(i) The community Gamergate general sanctions are hereby rescinded and are replaced by standard discretionary sanctions, which are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed.
(ii) All sanctions in force when this remedy is enacted are endorsed and will become standard discretionary sanctions governed by the standard procedure from the moment of enactment.
(iii) Notifications issued under Gamergate general sanctions become alerts for twelve months from the date of enactment of this remedy, then expire. The log of notifications will remain on the Gamergate general sanction page.
(iv) All existing and past sanctions and restrictions placed under Gamergate general sanctions will be transcribed by the arbitration clerks in the central discretionary sanctions log.
(v) Any requests for enforcement that may be open when this remedy is enacted shall proceed, but any remedy that is enacted should be enacted as a discretionary sanction.
(vi) Administrators who have enforced the Gamergate general sanctions are thanked for their work and asked to continue providing administrative assistance enforcing discretionary sanctions and at Arbitration enforcement.
1.2)
Uninvolved administrators are encouraged to monitor the articles covered by discretionary sanctions in this case to ensure compliance. To assist in this, administrators are reminded that:
(i) Accounts with a clear shared agenda may be blocked if they violate the sockpuppetry policy or other applicable policy;
(ii) Accounts whose primary purpose is disruption, violating the policy on biographies of living persons, or making personal attacks may be blocked indefinitely;
(iii) There are special provisions in place to deal with editors who violate the BLP policy;
(iv) The default position for BLPs, particularly for individuals whose noteworthiness is limited to a particular event or topic, is the presumption of privacy for personal matters;
(v) Editors who spread or further publicize existing BLP violations may be blocked;
(vi) Administrators may act on clear BLP violations with page protections, blocks, or warnings even if they have edited the article themselves or are otherwise involved;
(vii) Discretionary sanctions permit full and semi-page protections, including use of pending changes where warranted, and – once an editor has become aware of sanctions for the topic – any other appropriate remedy may be issued without further warning.
The Arbitration Committee thanks those administrators who have been helping to enforce the community general sanctions, and thanks, once again, in advance those who help enforce the remedies adopted in this case.
2.1) Any editor subject to a topic-ban in this decision is indefinitely prohibited from making any edit about, and from editing any page relating to, (a) Gamergate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
4.1) NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
5.1) Ryulong ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
5.3) Ryulong ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely banned from the English Language Wikipedia. They may request reconsideration of the ban twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
6.2) TaraInDC ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground and advised to better conduct themselves.
7.2) Tarc ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
7.3) Tarc ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is strongly warned that should future misconduct occur in any topic area, he may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion of the Arbitration Committee.
8.2) The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
8.3) Subject to the usual exceptions, The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is prohibited from making any more than one revert on any one page in any 48-hour period. This applies for all pages on the English Wikipedia, except The Devil's Advocate's own user space. This restriction may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
8.4) Subject to the usual exceptions, The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely prohibited from editing any administrative or conduct noticeboard (including, not not limited to; AN, AN/I, AN/EW, and AE), except for threads regarding situations that he was directly involved in when they were started. This restriction may be appealed to the Committee only after 12 months have elapsed from the closing of this case.
8.5) The Devil's Advocate ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is strongly warned that should future misconduct occur in any topic area, he may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion of the Arbitration Committee. Further, the committee strongly suggests that The Devil's Advocate refrains from editing contentious topic areas in the future.
9) TheRedPenOfDoom ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground and advised to better conduct themselves.
10.1) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic ban preventing Tutelary ( talk · contribs) from editing under the Gamergate general sanctions. This ban is converted to an Arbitration Committee-imposed ban. Tutelary ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
12) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic bans preventing ArmyLine ( talk · contribs), DungeonSiegeAddict510 ( talk · contribs), and Xander756 ( talk · contribs) from editing under the Gamergate general sanctions. The topic bans for these three editors are converted to indefinite restrictions per the standard topic ban.
13) The Arbitration Committee endorses the community-imposed topic ban preventing Titanium Dragon ( talk · contribs) from editing under BLP enforcement. This ban is converted to an Arbitration Committee-imposed ban. Titanium Dragon is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
14.1) Loganmac ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
15) Willhesucceed ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is indefinitely restricted per the standard topic ban.
18) The Arbitration Committee urges that knowledgeable and non-conflicted users not previously involved in editing GamerGate-related articles, especially GamerGate-related biographies of living people, should carefully review them for adherence to Wikipedia policies and address any perceived or discovered deficiencies. This is not a finding that the articles are or are not satisfactory in their present form, but an urging that independent members of the community examine the matter in light of the case.

Haven't seen you around recently stealing my reverts. Remember that every day you don't make at least 10 vandalism reverts, the developers kill a server kitty. Please think of the server kitties!
In seriousness, you're a great vandal hunter and someone I admire. Feel free to give it some time, but I expect fast accurate Huggle reverts soon! If it helps, deliveries of shiny things can be arranged. :)

You might want to remove one of the two versions of your comment. And, FWIW, I've done a hell of a lot than that myself, particularly if I hit the save button more than once accidentally. John Carter ( talk) 22:49, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
I know I can be a pain in the butt sometimes and we haven't had the more amicable encounters in the past. But thank you for discussing on Talk:Cleavage (breasts) and showing collegiality. So here's a kitten.
