Proposed finding of fact and remedy in arbitration case

Due to your use of the name "Eschoir" I have proposed a finding of fact, Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Free_Republic/Proposed_decision#Eschoir, and a remedy, Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Free_Republic/Proposed_decision#Eschoir_2. This is not based on an analysis of your editing, but on use of a provocative name. You may participate in the case and contest the finding and remedy if you wish. Fred Bauder 20:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to participate but I am inexperienced in the ways of Wiki defense. Eschoir 21:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

You put your objection on the wrong page, but it is welcome. You can put it on the talk page or make a statement on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration/Free_Republic, or on the /Evidence or /Workshop pages. Fred Bauder 21:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.Eschoir 22:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for modifying your Proposal of Fact. I have no problem with your current formulation.

Is it the screen name you have a problem with? Would a different screen name be your preferred remedy? Eschoir 02:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Come September, I will have used this screen name for ten years. I felt it would be disingenuous not to use it. Eschoir 02:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Request

Please do not post again on User talk:DeanHinnen. There is no reason to further inflame the situation. Thank you. Newyorkbrad 20:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Edits made to Free Republic Evidence

I removed your edits to my section. Feel free to add or edit your own personal section of evidence as you see fit (including referencing mine). I removed it because 1) its contrary to wiki policy to edit others evidence sections, 2) I personally don't want to discuss the details of the his case in mine section as its not relevant (only the question of identity is relevant). Dman727 17:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Eschoir 17:48, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Free Republic

This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The indefinite community ban of User:BryanFromPalatine for tendentious editing, personal attacks, block evasion and disruption is endorsed. The ban also applies to User:DeanHinnen and all other proxies or sockpuppets of BryanFromPalatine. User:Fairness And Accuracy For All is banned from Misplaced Pages for one year. The articles Free Republic and Democratic Underground are placed on article probation. It is expected that these articles will be improved to conform with Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view, and that information contained in them will be supported by verifiable information from reliable sources. Either article may be reviewed on the motion of any arbitrator, or upon acceptance by the Arbitration Committee of a motion made by any user, and users whose editing is disruptive may be banned or their editing restricted as the result of a review. This notice is given by a clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 00:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Good Job

I think your recent edits to the FR article are really good. --BenBurch 16:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

News Time

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter Issue 012 – April 2007
Beatles News On Friday 30th March, a deranged fan was held after attempting to force his way into Paul McCartney's mansion. See here for more details. Apple Corps continues to make news, after the recent settlement with Apple Computer over the use of the Apple trademark. On April 10th, the company announced that long-time chief executive Neil Aspinall had stepped down and had been replaced by American Jeff Jones. It was also announced that another long term dispute, this time with EMI over royalties, had been amicably settled prior to Aspinall's departure. Project News The article "Jeff Jones (music industry executive)" suddenly becomes of top importance in the Apple sphere of Beatledom. User:Kingboyk has created a stub on the man, but the article needs urgent beefing up (including basic biographical data such as date and place of birth) and, if possible, a photograph of the new Apple chief executive. Mimi Smith promises to have the last word over John yet again; her article is currently a Featured Article Candidate. Brian Epstein is a current GA candidate. See the Status board for more article news. 2 new articles have been listed in the Project Log since 1 March: Tony Barrow and Jeff Jones (music industry executive). With the debate over "the Beatles" vs "The Beatles" continuing to cause ill feeling and a number of resignations from the project from advocates on both sides, Kingboyk attempted to diffuse the situation by blanking the Project Policy page and tagging it as {{historical}}. Although this unilateral action hasn't been reverted as of the time of writing, the reaction was mixed, with two members rejoining the project and others stating their disagreement. With the issue still not resolved, the page was sent to Miscellany for Deletion, for the wider community (and WikiProject The Beatles members) to consider the issue. Member News The membership list has been trimmed, with inactive members listed seperately to help gauge the status of the project. If you've been incorrectly listed as inactive, please don't be offended - just move yourself back to the main list.	From the Editors This has been a tumultuous month for the project yet again.

Free Republic

Hello Eschoir, I just wanted to remind you to mind the 3RR, which you technically violated on the Free Republic article (, , , ) If you persist in reverting before consensus has been formed through discussion, you may be blocked, or banned from the article, as Free Republic is on probation. Please keep a cool head, and thanks for understanding, Prodego 02:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. FreedomAintFree 02:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Prodego: Thanks for the advice. I disagree. The 3rr prohibits the reversion of a single editor's work. "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor" The Freepers are guilty of violation of the 3R by proxy. So far, Fredomaintfree (a Bryan sockpuppet) has reverted me , I reverted him, he reverted me, I reverted him, and then proxy RWR (second editor) reverted me, I reverted him, then third editor reverted me, I replied with new content.

No attempt by the freepers has been made to discuss changes. "When in doubt, do not revert; instead, engage in dispute resolution or ask for administrative assistance."

Check your facts. Thank you for your watchfulness.Eschoir 02:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Wow. Unsigned! Welcome back Bryan!Eschoir 02:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I understand your concerns, sockpuppetry has been a continual problem at this article. The WP:3RR does not require the same editor to be reverted, only the same content. I will try to make sure that this is resolved, I recommend you bring this up on the talk page, and if there is support and no grounded objection after a day or so, add it. In this way consensus is formed and conflict is averted. Prodego 02:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I read the 3R rule differently, insofar as the word "editor" is singular. I appreciate your input. Eschoir 03:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Please follow up on the case I filed. Thanks.64.145.158.163 21:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Pedophilia and Homosexuality

Greetings! Please take a look at those articles. Left-wingers and Nambla members are blatantly trying to censor them. Peer-reviewed, scientific studies have found a clear link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
