:::To my knowledge, there are no discretionary sanctions currently available for "Jewish and Middle East topics" outside the Israel-Palestine disputes. If you want to raise this with ArbCom, you could do so on the amendments/clarifications page, though I can't speak for how anyone (including myself) would react, or if nothing else has worked and there is reason to do it you could request a case.

Yes, topic bans cover talk pages. The better question is if they cover user talk pages, and more specifically, your own user talk page. (There is a discussion ongoing on the latter question here ] ] (]) 20:46, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

I have been glancing at this rather messy case. You cite, in a comment, a principle from a previous case which states


<small>(You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for NYC-area events by adding or removing your name from ].)</small>
"Abuse of sockpuppet accounts, such as editing the same article from more than one account, is prohibited. A registered user's editing the same article from the user's registered account and from IP addresses has the same ill-effects as editing from a main and a sockpuppet account, and therefore is also prohibited."


--] via ] (]) 17:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
This is plumb wrong, after the first sentence. Specifically WP:SOCK says "There is no policy against editing while logged out." Even the first part, while reflecting policy literally does not reflect the spirit - which is clearly that abuse occurs when the socking creates or is designed to create an illusion of support.

:There's no point in reviewing the facts of a case from six years ago, but in that case the editor was creating confusion by editing the same article from his registered account and from IPs. In my view then and now, doing this deliberately or as a pattern is improper. Of course, it is understood that occasionally one may make a logged-out edit without realizing it; and it may also be acceptable for an editor in good standing to edit from a registered account for some purposes and from an IP for others. If your position is that it's okay for the same user to deliberately edit the same article from a registered account and from IPs as a matter of practice, I disagree with you. ] (]) 13:45, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Brad. You mentioned here an occasion when you had forgotten to check a user's edit-filter log. If you'd like that to never happen again, you may want to import this script, which shows edits disallowed by filters right in the ordinary contribs list. Most convenient!
