Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2021

This is the central log for all sanctions issued pursuant to an Arbitration Committee contentious topics remedy in 2021 as well as any appeals or modifications made to sanctions issued in 2021.

The required information is the user or page the sanction is being applied to, enforcing administrator, date, nature of sanction, including expiry date (if applicable), basis or context (such as link to AE request), and a diff of the user notification (if applicable).

" All sanctions and page restrictions must be logged by the administrator who applied the sanction or page restriction at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log. Whenever a sanction or page restriction is appealed or modified, the administrator amending it must append a note recording the amendment to the original log entry.

To be valid, sanctions must be clearly and unambiguously labelled as an arbitration enforcement action (such as with "arbitration enforcement", "arb enforcement", "AE" or "WP:AE" in the Wikipedia log entry or the edit summary). If a sanction has been logged as an arbitration enforcement action but has not been clearly labelled as an arbitration enforcement action any uninvolved administrator may amend the sanction (for example, a null edit or reblocking with the same settings) on behalf of the original administrator. Labelling a sanction which has been logged does not make the administrator who added the label the "enforcing administrator" unless there is confusion as to who intended the sanction be arbitration enforcement.

A central log of all page restrictions and sanctions (including blocks, bans, page protections or other restrictions) placed as arbitration enforcement (including contentious topic restrictions) is to be maintained by the Committee and its clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log.

• Mandruss and Objective3000 are cautioned against circumventing edit restrictions, even when they are right on the content, and even when this is done somewhat unwittingly. Although extraordinary circumstances pertaining to the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol are noted in their favour, I still consider it important to enter this in the log. Significantly, I also note that my view has seen some opposition (permanent link to AE report), including from another admin (Awilley), who maintain that this was not, in fact, a violation. As always, I invite further Committee scrutiny into my actions. Sorry for the unusual length of this log entry. El_C 21:51, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

• Per several participants at ARCA (permanent link), I am quoting the second half of my closing summary of the AE report (linked above): Though I am making it a point to acknowledge the especially high-quality work at the AP2 topic area on the part of both editors, and though this closure and log entry isn't intended to serve as a blemish on their respective records, I still strongly feel that the violation itself needs to be formally recorded (underline is my emphasis). Sorry to everyone, especially Mandruss and Objective3000, that it took me this long to figure out the utility of attaching this addendum. I hope it serves to quell any further tensions. If anyone has a suggestion about anything else I could say or do toward that end, please do not hesitate to let me know. El_C 19:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

• Also noting that, per Awilley's suggestion, I have updated my AE closing summary (permanent link) to clarify that this was a unilateral action on my part which did not represent consensus of views among the uninvolved admins who participated. Views, which I also note, were mixed. El_C 00:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

• LotteryGeek is unblocked with an indefinite topic ban on post-1992 American politics, broadly construed. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

• Noting for the log that I have NOTHERE blocked the user. While blatant topic ban violations were reported at AE, the nature of the provocations and fabrications were not even close to being nuanced enough to bother with any sort of AE action. El_C 15:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

• Kidboogaloo is blocked indefinitely from the site per AP2 DS with NOTHERE as a rationale. 11 of 12 edits by the user during the past year were politically-based disruption. [2] EvergreenFir (talk) 22:16, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

• NedFausa is indefinitely topic banned from the AP2 topic area, broadly construed (which also applies to any living persons therein). El_C 17:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

• Note that due to new and disturbing information, I have also proposed to siteban NedFausa, a proposal which they themselves then expressed support of (!). Anyway, it appears almost certain to pass unanimously, so I guess that's that. El_C 20:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

• Noting for the sake of completion that the proposal to siteban NedFausa passed unanimously. An indefinite block for disruption was already in place before this (with everything disabled). I have since re-blocked so as to note the siteban in the block log. Though not an AE matter, I still thought it was worth recording here, at AEL, as well. El_C 04:04, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

• MikaelaArsenault (talk · contribs) has been indefinitely blocked for BLP violations (nominally a fourth occurrence) and editing whilst logged out to evade a previous block limiting them from editing mainspace. For the purposes of arbitration enforcement, I am not considering the indefinite block to be an arbitration enforcement action, if any administrator unblocks the user, I would ask that they reinstate the previous Mainspace partial block which expires on 2021-05-04T01:00:00, this was an arbitration enforcement block. Nick (talk) 21:50, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

• Astral Leap is now subject to an indefinite one-way interaction ban with GizzyCatBella. El_C 14:44, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

• Astral Leap is blocked for one week for violating 3RR on an AN report that concerned the same topic that saw the sanction above having been imposed. El_C 15:20, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

• Just to clarify for the log, seeing as Astral Leap has appealed my block at AN: the block was not only for the 3RR violation itself (per se.), but also for the provocations contained in those same reverts (against Volunteer Marek). A point which I made perfectly clear to Astral Leap prior to them having filed their unblock request. El_C 17:13, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

• Note that I have disabled talk page access even while an appeal involving myself is ongoing (at AN). At this point, I think it's better if the user were to engage their appeal by having WP:UTRS serve as a filter, because they seem to be unwilling or unable to cease from the same disruption that saw the original block imposed.

Motorsports

• Mclarenfan17 (no edits since June) has been editing while logged out, in contravention of their interaction ban with Tvx1. As such, per Tvx1's AE complaint, the sanction is reaffirmed, directing admins to block any IPs belonging to Mclarenfan17 with immediate effect, at least until some form of communication is established. Added Feb 25: archive link to 7 Feb AE complaint and permanent link to Feb 12 one. As well, permanent link to discussion on my talk page with Mclarenfan17/IP, last comment Feb 24. El_C 09:17, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

:*{{Noting that an IP identifying as Mclarenfan17 did engage in some limited discussion on my talk page, but it has since fizzled out, with evasion continuing (on ranges that would result in too much collateral if blocked). As such, semiprotection seems like the way to go here, with an indefinite semi just applied by me to 2021 World Rally Championship, with other related pages likely to follow. El_C 19:06, 18 February 2021 (UTC)}} {{New pages now semiprotected: 2021 Formula One World Championship, 2021 World Rally Championship, 2020 World Rally Championship, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One, Formula One drivers from the United Kingdom, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorsport, 2022 Formula One World Championship, 2007 Formula One World Championship, 2021 FIA Formula 3 Championship, 2021 Arctic Rally, 2021 Formula 2 Championship, 2021 World Rally Championship-3, Draft:2021 Australian Grand Prix — all for an indefinite duration, except for the two talk pages, those were set to expire in one month.

Meanwhile, they continue to edit the topic area via IP hopping on still too wide a range to block, as of Feb 23 (diffdiff), even though they know they shouldn't (I expressly told them so, repeatedly). So, not much confidence on that front (that we can end this whole whack-a-mole), unfortunately. Oh well. Sorry for the length of this! El_C 11:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)}}

• El C, discretionary sanctions are not authorized for this case, so these protections should not be labeled as AE actions, but regular admin actions. The only thing that needs to be logged here is the block of Mclarenfan17 for violating the IBAN remedy. – bradv🍁 13:34, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
