Create your own section to provide evidence in, and do not edit anyone else's section. Keep your evidence to a maximum of 1000 words and 100 diffs. Evidence longer than this will be refactored or removed entirely. |
Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Create your own section and do not edit in anybody else's section. Please limit your main evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs and keep responses to other evidence as short as possible. A short, concise presentation will be more effective; posting evidence longer than 1000 words will not help you make your point. Over-long evidence that is not exceptionally easy to understand (like tables) will be trimmed to size or, in extreme cases, simply removed by the Clerks without warning - this could result in your important points being lost, so don't let it happen. Stay focused on the issues raised in the initial statements and on diffs which illustrate relevant behavior.
It is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff in question, or to a short page section; links to the page itself are insufficient. Never link to a page history, an editor's contributions, or a log for all actions of an editor (as those will have changed by the time people click on your links), although a link to a log for a specific article or a specific block log can be useful. Please make sure any page section links are permanent. See simple diff and link guide.
This page is not for general discussion - for that, see the talk page. If you think another editor's evidence is a misrepresentation of the facts, cite the evidence and explain how it is incorrect within your own section. Please do not try to re-factor the page or remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, leave it for the Arbitrators or Clerks to move.
Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as Arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators (and clerks, when clarification on votes is needed) may edit the proposed decision page.

It's worth pointing out that ChildofMidnight's response to the RfC was not particularly constructive, which is part of why we are here. He first ignored it and indeed took a somewhat jokey stance on the whole matter, asking another editor "to post something nice about me at my RfC. Prefereably with a picture of cute puppies or snuggly children or something." He also (again) referred to one of the editors participating in the RfC as one of the "abusive trolls, drama mongers, and stalking harassers" on Wikipedia. The following interaction was further evidence of not taking the matter seriously (while still calling for the outright banning of 7 editors). [1] [2] Sticking this poem (written by a now indefinite blocked editor) on his user talk page also demonstrated some contempt for the RfC, and all of this happened before ChildofMidnight even bothered to make a statement. The response, when it finally came, showed that ChildofMidnight saw nothing wrong with his behavior, and indeed it was a textbook example of the kind of problems that had been detailed in the RfC. Finally, after the RfC was summarized in a perfectly fair and admirable manner by Nihonjoe, ChildofMidnight dismissed the close as "incompetent, unconstructive, biased and unhelpful" which suggests he basically does not view anything about the RfC as legitimate, a point which was recently reinforced when he referred to it as "that RfC bullshit."
The following is not exhaustive, but it shows that the behavior documented in the RfC has continued since it closed in late January.
While I had some hope for awhile that ChildofMidnight was going to stick to article contributions and the like after the RfC (either just to stay out of trouble or as a tacit acknowledgment that some of the concerns were valid, protestations to the contrary not withstanding), it's become quite apparent that the problems are continuing and that we need a remedy to address them. -- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
This submission is limited to my interaction with ChildofMidnight in relation to my block of him, in response to a WP:AE request, for his violation of his Obama topic ban in September 2009. The following list is not exhaustive.
Within minutes of the edits cited above, ChildofMidnight deplores the perceived lack of civil interaction on the part of others, lecturing them about good conduct. This list, too, is not exhaustive.
Just another illustrative example of CoM's mode of operation, which happened to concern myself.
In November, CoM came to my talkpage to complain about a block of mine (in a matter unrelated to him) which was being reviewed at AE at the time, accusing me of "abusive" and "disruptive" actions, and repeatedly claiming there was allegedly a "consensus" to that effect on the AE thread:
A simple comparison with what was actually said in the AE thread shows these claims were pure fabrication: while a few people cautiously argued in favour of a milder block, not a single uninvolved person had in fact suggested I had acted improperly in imposing one.
CoM continued to reiterate these accusations even after being told off my page [19] [20].

Place argument and diffs which support your assertion; for example, your first assertion might be "So-and-so engages in edit warring", which should be the title of this section. Here you would show specific edits to specific articles which show So-and-so engaging in edit warring.
Place argument and diffs which support the second assertion; for example, your second assertion might be "So-and-so makes personal attacks", which should be the title of this section. Here you would show specific edits where So-and-so made personal attacks.
