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.
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, five new Arbitrators are assumed recused (Morven, Smoddy, Filiocht, Mackensen, SimonP) and two have explicitely unrecused themselves (Dmcdevit, Charles Matthews), and 8 are active (Fred, Epopt, Jdforrester, Jayjg, Theresa, Neutrality, Mindspillage, Raul654), so 6 votes is a majority.
Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.
Place those on /Workshop.

2) Given the large and diverse body of Wikipedia administrators, controversial articles which are the subject of sustained and intractable edit wars may be protected but continue to be edited by administrators.

A template shall be created and used showing that status and a page created listing articles in this status. It may be briefly unprotected from time to time to test whether it remains the focus of edit warriors. Protection may be extended to the talk page if necessary.
2) When Wikipedia:Semi-protection policy is implemented Winter Soldier Investigation, shall, instead of the above, be semi-protected. If necessary, the semi-protection may be extended to associated articles by any administrator, or by request to the Arbitration Committee.
3) TDC ( talk · contribs) (using whatever account or IP address) is banned for one year from editing Winter Soldier Investigation.
3.1) Anonymous Earthlink editor 165.247.xxx (using whatever account or IP address) is banned for one year from editing Winter Soldier Investigation.
