1) {text of proposed principle}
1) In certain cases a Wikipedia editor will tendentiously focus their attention in an obsessive way. Such users may be banned from editing in the affected area. See Neutral point of view. Efforts to establish a particular point of view sometimes results in violations of Wikipedia:Verifiability as efforts are made to support an eccentric POV.
2) Cited references must relate to particular assertions, merely citing a book within which a person after exhaustive searching might find a source for information is not sufficient. Citations need to to be a specific passage on a specific page of an identified edition.
3) Editors are generally expected to provide appropriate edit summaries for their edits; providing misleading edit summaries, as well as misuse of the minor edit flag, is considered uncivil and bad wikiquette.
1) {text of proposed finding of fact}
1) Rktect ( talk · contribs) has created a large number of articles which contain a great deal of detailed, but unsourced, information regarding ancient weights and measures, see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Rktect/Evidence#Consensus_as_to_unsuitability_for_Wikipedia.2C_based_on_VfD. Many of these have been deleted.
2) Rktect ( talk · contribs) has sometimes inserted unsourced anachronistic material such as this assertion that the mile "Miles and stadia have been intended to be unit divisions of a degree of the Earth's great circle circumference since they were first defined as standards of measure by the rope stretchers of Mesopotamia and Egypt" [1]. These assertions seem related to the theories of Livio Catullo Stecchini.
3) Rktect ( talk · contribs) often cites a laundry list of general references which have no specific relationship with any particular item of information see [3] and a user's comment [4].
4) Rktect ( talk · contribs) has reverted reversions of vandalism by editors he was in a dispute with [5], [6], and has admitted that this was in order to prove a point [7].
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.
1) {text of proposed remedy}
1) Rktect ( talk · contribs) is banned indefinitely from all articles which relate to weights and measures (metrology).
1) {text of proposed enforcement}
1) Should Rktect ( talk · contribs) edit any article which related to weights and measures (metrology) he may be briefly banned, up to one week in the case of repeat offenses.
