Arbitration enforcement action appeal by Lima Bean Farmer

There is consensus against outright overturning the TBAN imposed by Dreamy Jazz. However, with Dreamy Jazz' consent, the TBAN's scope is modified to post-1992, not post-1932, mirroring the January 2021 amendment to WP:AMPOL. Lima Bean Farmer is encouraged to edit more actively before any subsequent appeal, and reminded that, if they are unsure whether a particular edit or article would be a violation, they can always ask the sanctioning admin or at AN. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:08, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found here. According to the procedures, a "clear and substantial consensus of uninvolved administrators" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action. To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).

This was over two years ago and I deeply regret doing so. The other account was suspended and since then I have not used any other accounts to edit. The only account I’ve used to edit was this one, and I have very carefully edited to not break the topic ban. I feel like I would be a useful editor to help with certain articles that fit my expertise within post-1932 politics, as this is something I have studied extensively. In addition, I have reviewed numerous articles on Wikipedia guidelines regarding contentious and political articles. I feel my editing would be valuable, as it previously was on many other pages. Please lift this ban. Any questions or comments I will be happy to answer, please ping me. Thank you Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 19:04, 1 July 2023 (UTC) User:Seraphimblade, the comments you are referring to are from over 2 years ago. I understand you need to look at the entire case, but please don’t hold a grudge over my comments from 2020. I am apologizing for using the sock and would like to continue editing Wikipedia. I haven’t made many edits over the past 2 1/2 years, being very careful to avoid my topic ban. I will add that I believe my editing is helpful to the project as many of my suggestions and edits, as well as some of the pages I’ve created are still functioning. In addition, many of my additions have been praised by other editors, including those with experience. Please allow me to, after 2 and a half years of having this topic ban, get back to editing a topic I love and have significant knowledge about. Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC) User:Seraphimblade, adding one more section, to add how I would improve editing going forward, I would work more towards creating consensus with fellow, mainly experienced editors to better understand how to edit Wikipedia. Over the past 2 1/2 years I have spent a lot of time reviewing the articles that I used to edit and have noticed certain editing patterns that work best. In addition, I also monitored talk pages and have a better idea on how to have productive conversations. Please keep this in mind Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 22:08, 1 July 2023 (UTC) User:Dreamy Jazz, please let me clarify. The reason I haven’t made that many edits was because I was very careful to avoid anything that could be related to my topic ban. I previously edited war criminal articles and some relating to WWII but I worried that too closely related to US politics. Many of my edits before my ban were also productive, I generally have a history of productive editing. This is all I hope to achieve and will work more with fellow editors to do so. In addition, I have done practice edits outside of Wikipedia about the articles which I would like to edit again. I am not too familiar with many other topics and would like to edit within my expertise again. Thank you Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 06:11, 2 July 2023 (UTC) User:El C can you please explain how this falls short? If you read above, I address the comments that User:Seraphimblade made. I don’t think it’s fair to deny this based on me using and denying a sock puppet over 2 years ago. I deeply regret it, haven’t used one since, and fully understand what a sock puppet is and wouldn’t use one again. I went over 2 1/2 years without using one so while I can’t prove I won’t use one in the future, I would hope you would see this as evidence I don’t intend on using one again, and that I am deeply sorry for using one in the first place Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2023 (UTC) Statement by Dreamy Jazz I have not kept up with this user to know fully whether I would support or oppose this appeal. One concern I have is that there has not been that many edits made since 2020. Based on a quick estimate this user has made less than 500 edits since the topic ban was made indefinite in 2020. This may not be enough edits to prove constructive editing in other topics. However, these edits do seem to have been constructive based on a quick inspection and some of which are made to non-US political articles. I would note that this was made before the conversion to the contentious topics system, so it still is subject to the appeal rules that apply to sanctions less than a year old. If my input is requested, please do ping me so that I see this as I won't be actively watching this.

Disruptive contributions may result in blocks. Result of the appeal by Lima Bean Farmer This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above. I found the SPI which led up to the topic ban being extended to indefinite, which itself involved socking to evade a three-month topic ban from the area for disruptive editing [1] (and Lima Bean Farmer, I shouldn't have needed to go digging for those; you should have provided links to all those things in your appeal). In the course of that, I found this comment: [2], where Lima Bean Farmer is asked if they in fact operated the sock, and replies: Euryalus, I know it seems that way....If I say that I am running both accounts, do you think that would help or hurt my case? That's such blatantly dishonest behavior that it blows my mind; LBF was not being asked to provide the answer that serves them best, but the answer which was actually true. Lima Bean Farmer, you clearly thought before that you could be an asset by editing in that topic area, and you quite evidently weren't correct about that. I don't see anything here indicating that you understand what you did that led to your sanctions, or what you would do differently going forward, so I would decline this appeal. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:08, 1 July 2023 (UTC) Decline. In response to Seraphimblade's criticism above that this appeal lacks documentation, the appellant says: please don’t hold a grudge — what? I concur with Seraphimblade's conclusion that, as written, this appeal falls short. El_C 12:33, 2 July 2023 (UTC) @Dreamy Jazz: Given that the CTOP for American politics have been moved up to 1992 from 1932, would you be open to revising LBF's TBAN to match? Perhaps that would assuage their concern and give them more room to edit historical events without fear of stumbling over the TBAN, opening the way for a successful appeal after a few hundred more edits. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:16, 2 July 2023 (UTC) Alright, my inclination then is to modify thusly but not lift the sanction outright. @Seraphimblade and El C: Would that work for y'all? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC) Since that's the way the sanctions are now worded anyway, I don't have any issue with that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:07, 3 July 2023 (UTC) That makes sense to me, especially since Lima Bean Farmer claims an interest in WWII and war criminals, which this modification would open up without fear of violating the sanction (although I skimmed through Lima Bean Farmer's contributions and didn't notice any edits on these topics; I may have missed some but most were on the 2020 elections and Donald Trump's cabinet).

Sanction or remedy to be enforced

WP:ARBEE

Diffs of edits that violate this sanction or remedy, and an explanation how these edits violate it

1. [3] Using outdated Ingush folktales to push nationalistic POV (including the category "Ingush people" to non-Ingush persons) in order to change the ethnicity of well known Chechen historical figures.
2. [4] This user gave undue weight to the very same sources he used in the previous diff to other articles he created previously such as the "Nazran conflict" where the Ingush defeat all three of their neighbors (Chechens, Ossetians and Kabardinians), all based on a folktale with no supporting evidence.
3. [5] He made other articles based on random outdated folktales and then included them in his article "List of wars involving Ingushetia"
4. [6] Changing the name of Chechen names for mountains and replacing them with Ingush name without explanation as to why he did it.

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

This user is well aware that many of the random folktales he uses are outdated, in a similar now deleted article of his he admitted (although only after admins were involved) his mistakes and promised to use more reasonable sources here. Yet he again tried to do the same thing on a different article recently. Again i contacted an admin in their talk page and this user "dropped it". The admin recommended that i could do the WP:AE even if he dropped his case if he has a history of inserting unreliable folktales then promising to do better but then doing it again. I think i demonstrated with the previously now three deleted articles that he has a history of this. I can explain with more detail on why his folkloric sources are outdated and why they shouldn't be relied upon while ignoring important context but since this report shouldn't exceed 500 words i tried to be more short. The deleted articles and recent article talk page has more details.

@Seraphimblade Regarding the 4 month old deleted articles, they were only brought up as this user keeps doing the same as he did there (even though he admitted his mistake only after admins became involved). Wikieditor pushes nationalistic POV by using outdated folktales (note: only the ones that benefit him while he ignores the less complimentary folktales which are in the very same sources he uses.) to claim other people's historical figures or to glorify his nation. Surely this is against Wikipedia's policies and counts as WP:NATIONALIST? Not only does he overly rely on outdated folktales but he also like my 4th diff showed removes Chechen translations without explanations and replaces them with Ingush. The previously deleted articles were only included to demonstrate that he has a history of doing what he did 4-5 days ago in the Aldaman-Gheza article. As for if there should be a discussion on his sources i don't know, this report was more about him cherrypicking and pushing nationalistic POV by using outdated folktales, for example one of his sources like this shows that he cherrypicks outdated folktales when it comes to glorifying his own nation while ignoring parts that speak of folktales about Ingush slave clans, Ingush Semitic ancestry etc.

Statement by WikiEditor1234567123

Goddard2000 is, in order to find something against me, bringing up 6 months+ old deleted articles of mine, one of which (Battle of the Assa River) I personally told him should be deleted as I understood my mistake. Back then, I was a very inexperienced user that made a lot of grave mistakes, since then I have added information mostly based on reliable sources and not folktales. Further more, this is a very exaggeration that I do nationalist editing because I once added Category:Ingush people in Aldaman Gheza in haste and should have first discussed with him instead. Although I didn't even add the sentences about Ingush ethnicity in the article, because I first wanted to reach consensus with Goddard2000 as can be seen in the talk page. Later, I dropped the ethnicity debate of Aldaman Gheza, not because an admin interfered as Goddard2000 stated, but because I understood that even in that article (which itself is full of folkloric facts masked as historical, such as the battles of Kabardians with Chechens or the participation of Aldaman Gheza in the Battle of Khachara (1667)), ethnicity shouldn't be based of folklore, and lastly, seeing a source mention him as Cheberloy aristocrat. I replaced Chechen translation with Ingush translation in Kazbek, because I thought that Chechen translation wasn't notable enough to be there. Later I told you I could add it back in talk page of an admin if you wanted. WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 08:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

• I am...unimpressed, to say the least, with the prior deleted articles, which do indeed appear to present highly dubious material, probably at least as much legend as fact, as historical events. That said, it was some time ago that those things happened, and the latest iteration looks, at least at the first instance, a lot like a content dispute so far. Has there ever been any community discussion over these sources as to their actual reliability, such as at the reliable sources noticeboard? If not, why is this at AE before even going there? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:32, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

  Just noting that I recommended Goddard2000 take this to AE after they first brought it to my user page, as I have been traveling and could not commit to conducting an investigation myself. Lest the validity of Seraphimblade's suggestion be misunderstood, I would amend it to "why [was] this [brought to an admin] before going [to a centralized discussion board]". _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:17, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Statement by InedibleHulk

It was wrong of me to refer to the Covenant School shooter as a female. I was too trusting of the external sources and not nearly considerate enough of what this might suggest to many transgender editors and readers. I'm not the sort of person who uses a deadname just to be a dick, and wouldn't use one for any reason to refer to a living person. Now, I won't use one to refer to a dead person either, regardless of what the sources say. I don't want any part of this wider culture war or that one article. I also now appreciate how seriously annoying it can be to other editors to be told the same thing (even worded differently) repeatedly, and will stop that, in all discussions. There've been issues with funny, "funny" and confusingly unfunny edit summaries, too; no more in tragic topics. Finally, American politicians, gender controversy and the Florida Panthers are off my menu. With this in mind, I ask for a clear consensus to unban me after three months (on July 13).

Statement by DrewieStewie

I have editing and discussion history, both procedural and side-banter, with InedibleHulk. I also wasn't involved in the discussion leading to this Arbitration Enforcement sanction. Knowing IH, while I didn't condone the behavior resulting in these sanctions, I also thought one year as imposed by HJ Mitchell was excessive, a view shared with several other editors. It was wrong to refer to the shooter by a deadname repeatedly after several warnings, but a year for incivility for an otherwise net-positive long-term editor was a bit much. IH has acknowledged the wrong of his behavior in his request (and frankly never went to the abhorrent extremes RoxyTheDog did at ANI), and these three months should very well be considered time served. It would be a shame and net-loss to discourage his prolific article-space contributions. I'd support lifting a site ban, lifting the block, and imposing no topic bans on him. I am truly convinced IH will avoid on his own volition the behavior leading to this sanction, and I have full trust and confidence in him as an editor. He's clearly learned his lesson. Incident aside, he's helped lighten tensions elsewhere on talk space before with his witty humor, and Wikipedia needs more of that tension eased. DrewieStewie (talk) 21:29, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Statement by Adoring nanny

One thing I hope all editors, but especially IH, take away from this is that if one disagrees with a policy, violating it is not the answer. I don't agree with WP:DEADNAME. But it's a policy, so I make every effort to follow it. That's the way one needs to handle something like that. Adoring nanny (talk) 02:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

I just want to add that the consensus that formed in regards to Hale's name was itself not consistent with the wording of WP:DEADNAME

Refer to any person whose gender might be questioned with the name and gendered words (e.g. pronouns, man/woman/person, waiter/waitress/server) that reflect the person's most recent expressed self-identification as reported in the most recent reliable sources, even if it does not match what is most common in sources.

Here are Hale's last known messages.[7] I am not going to quote the actual messages here, because doing so would itself violate the policy. But in the messages themselves, Hale uses both male and female names, and the last message with any name uses both. By the plain wording of the policy, Hale was using both names, and this is Hale's most recent expressed self-identification. Therefore, either would be OK. That's not the consensus that formed among the editors, and IH should have respected that consensus (much as one still respects a legal ruling that misapplies the law). I still see it as a mitigating factor. Adoring nanny (talk) 19:31, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Statement by Locke Cole

I have a few thoughts:

1. I think it's important to recognize that InedibleHulk was correct with regard to the sources conflicting on the gender of the shooter in the 2023 Nashville school shooting. It's a stretch to say that the consensus gender in use in the article, should somehow be used as a stick on the talk page where the matter would (obviously) be discussed (and where there was some disagreement still).
2. I believe the process that resulted in a one year block was comically shortlived: the initial filing was made at 16:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC), and HJ Mitchell enacted the block by 21:36, 13 April 2023 (UTC), a duration of 1 day, 4 hours and 43 minutes. As there was no immediate danger to the project and this was clearly not a case of vandalism or bad faith, it defies logic to not leave the matter open longer so editors could provide dissenting views.
3. WP:DEADNAME applies to article-space as it is part of our Manual of Style. It does not apply to talk pages, and even if we were to want to stretch it into that, it certainly doesn't apply in situations where our sources are conflicting on the gender identity of the subject under discussion (and where reasonable editors may disagree and be voicing dissent).

Ultimately I think this block was made in error and should be removed with all haste so that InedibleHulk can return to editing and contributing to articles. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Statement by Thebiguglyalien

Speaking as an uninvolved editor who happened to watch this while it was unfolding but chose not to comment at the time. I do believe that some level of disruption took place and that sanctions were (and still are) appropriate. But a one year block was probably beyond the minimum necessary sanctioning to prevent disruption, and even then I believe InedibleHulk has demonstrated his understanding of the issue and his intention to fix it. I would support an unblock with these conditions:

• A topic ban on GENSEX
• A topic ban on American politics, broadly construed to include crime and gun control in the United States
• A probational civility restriction in which any incivility, whether it be in a talk page or an edit summary, is subject to a block

This is contingent on the fact that there was genuine confusion about this particular GENSEX subject in both the sources and the article's talk page, and I do not believe that InedibleHulk was intentionally deadnaming or trying to push a transphobic POV. The topic ban is purely because he was unable to respect consensus in this area. If he were to attempt to push a transphobic POV, then I would not support any unblock, now or in the future. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Result of the appeal by InedibleHulk

This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.

• A few comments:
  • I disagree with the commenters above who think the site ban was extreme or out of process. AE enforcement provisions are designed specifically so strong measures can be implemented quickly in contentious topics once the editor knows it is a contentious topic. Had Harry wanted to, he could have unilaterally imposed this without any discussion at all.
  • I do think this would have been more accurately characterized as a GENSEX-related ban than a gun control-related ban, but in the end, this doesn't really matter.
  • I would definitely not be willing to support an unblock without a GENSEX topic ban. This was cemented when IH made a GENSEX-related comment on their talk page (which I removed) while he was indef blocked. Also, this was not a one off. I think I would be willing to consider an unblock with such a ban in place, indefinitely.
  • I don't think a gun control-related topic ban is needed, but I don't object (and I'd suggest IH not object) if others feel it is needed.
  • IH seems to finally grok what the problem was when he says "...not nearly considerate enough of what this might suggest to many transgender editors and readers."

I think I've criticized/threatened IH with a block before about something else. I don't think this makes me involved, but I'm willing to defer to IH; if he thinks I'm involved, I'll move this to the involved section. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC) (per comments IH made on his talk page, it's up to me, so I'll leave this here and won't consider myself "involved". --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:51, 9 July 2023 (UTC))

I'm neutral on expanding the topic ban to include AMPOL. I support whatever everyone else does. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

• I don't see gun control as the particular issue here; it was more incidental that the article in question had a relation to that. I don't see a restriction in that area as being necessary, at least not unless someone can present evidence that InedibleHulk caused disruption specifically related to that topic. GENSEX was the crux of the matter here, and I would also not be willing to consider an unblock without a topic ban from that area replacing it. That said, I do see at least some indication that InedibleHulk was willing to think about what the issues were and hear feedback on it, and so the block may no longer be necessary to prevent disruption. So at this point I'm willing to give another chance (if and only if the GENSEX topic ban is imposed along with it), with the clear understanding, though, that any violation of the topic ban or other return to disruption will very likely lead to reinstatement of the block, and that third chances are a lot harder to get than second ones. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 19:15, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
  • While I didn't myself see the need for an AP2 sanction, I also have no objection to that if that's the consensus here. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:24, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
• I agree with Floquenbeam and Seraphimblade that any unblock without in indef GENSEX topic ban is a non-starter; and that gun-control topic-ban is likely unneeded. Some partial page blocks may need to be restored though since, due to system limitations, they were over-ridden by the most recent AE site-wide block (pinging EvergreenFir to weigh in on that part).

That said, I am concerned to see that over the last three-ish years InedibleHulk has been indeffed twice; been unblocked after a civility block with a "Please remain civil EH or I fear the next block may be indef." message; and, that they violated their previous (3 month AP-32) topic-ban multiple times resulting in several partial and site-wide blocks. Given that, I wonder whether we aren't just setting up another rinse-repeat cycle by shortening a 1-year AE block after 3ish month? Abecedare (talk) 20:04, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm (cautiously) happy to take IH at their word that they are "years wiser now" and support an unblock with, at least, a GENSEX topic-ban. I haven't examined their recent contribution in the AP2 area to know whether a topic-ban from American politics is needed or not. But if IH themselves plan to stay away from the topic, as they say in their appeal, and Courcelles believes that such a topic-ban is necessary, then an "unblock with indef GENSEX and AP2 topic-bans" would be the fastest way forward. Abecedare (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

See this for IH's clarification about what areas they plan to sat away from in any case (TLDR: American politicians). Abecedare (talk) 13:40, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

• Topic bans would likely be necessary on both GENSEX and AP2. Gun control could be left off as gun control within the US is absolutely within AP2. I would find GENSEX alone insufficient to support this appeal. Courcelles (talk) 20:16, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Sanction or remedy to be enforced

WP:ARBCOVIDDS

Diffs of edits that violate this sanction or remedy, and an explanation how these edits violate it

1. July 5 Somewhat hostile, but in my opinion does not yet violate WP:NPA
2. July 5 Again hostile, and focused on me. Again does not reach the WP:NPA threshold.
3. July 5 more hostility
4. July 6 again
5. July 6 Calling me "willfully ignorant" violates WP:NPA.
6. July 8 After I request amelioration of the personal attack, the user continues the hostility to me.
7. July 9 I ask if the user is refusing to strike. The response is further denunciation of me, and banning of me from the user's talk page.

Diffs of previous relevant sanctions, if any

1. April 5, 2018 User was apparently topic banned from an article called the "ark encounter" article. I have no idea what that is about.

If contentious topics restrictions are requested, supply evidence that the user is aware of them (see WP:CTOP#Awareness of contentious topics)

1. I alerted the user after the original attack, but before the final response
2. external link showing repeated participation by the user at this page

Additional comments by editor filing complaint

I understand and accept that many see me as a controversial user. I further accept that this will sometimes lead to a personal attack. In such cases, my habit is to go to the user's talk page. Usually, a mutually satisfactory resolution can be found.

I don't like the fact that I am filing this complaint based, essentially, on a single interaction. What drove me to it was the continuing and unrelenting hostility. My experience is that users tend to become more reasonable when I raise an issue on their talk page. Here the opposite occurred. Even if, as the user repeatedly stated, I ought to be banned, some sort of reasonable discussion of the matter ought to be possible, leading to a resolution that works for both parties. In this case, by banning me from their talk page, the user shut down such discussion.

Due both to my own status and to the brevity of the interaction that led up to this complaint, I request that any sanction the admins impose be limited in scope and/or duration.

I would greatly prefer to be resolving this one-on-one with the user. However, that is no longer possible.
