Another hit by Videmus Omnia!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...tration#Ryulong

Already one accept by Kirill.

That an arbitrator is accepting this case, with the prior attempts at resolution being an RfC from five months ago, says a lot. I think this case might actually accomplish something.

Just about to post this :-)

The arbitrators have busy times ahead. Durova MONGO and Ryulong are all on the request page.

I have probably more faith in arbcom than most people on this forum, but I still doubt they will have the balls to step back and say "We need to stop the bullshit here and now", especially not with that clueless Jimbo from cheering on these problem people.

To be honest though, I don't see Ryulong as that big of a problem, even though I opposed his RFA.

Hehe, I thought someone would get to it before me, but I looked around and didn't yet see anything!

And I agree, there are some big cases at the fore. Although MONGO will probably be rejected and this RFAR against Ryulong is of uncertain fate, a lot of attention and spotlight is on the Arbcom atm.

Kirill accepts nearly any case, we have yet to see what the others will say.

I like the hey-lets-arbcom atmosphere of the last few days, if a case gets filed against JzG everything will be perfect.

Damn, and when it was first open I was checking here to see if anyone bothered to post about it (which was an hour ago). I was just now planning on starting the thread myself just to get it out of the way.

I still don't like it that Kirill accepted the case before I had any time to post my statement. But what am I to do?

That's true, and I don't know how a history of bad blocks will compare to a longer history of rampant incivility and misbehavior (a la MONGO).


Well we usually work quick here, although next time I'm sure we will all leave a grace period if you want to start a thread in this forum.

Personally I think you have a good chance of things going unnoticed what with the Durova and MONGO arbcom cases and the elections in December, but a lot of people check the Arbcom board.

Refrain from abusing the tools you should not have been given in the first place.

If you were paying attention, I had that linked to a diff on my talk page for a reason. Kirill Lokoshin accepted the case twenty minutes prior to my posting of my own statement in the case. That is an issue if anything else.

He can change his mind, I believe? Accept on evidence provided, and then decline on subsequent provision of evidence if need be.

That you need to even consider technical defenses is bad for you, bad for ArbCom, good for us. Keep up the good work.

Looks like revenge is a dish best served cold.

Experiment with being WP:CIVIL. Something you weren't in the following quote, found just above that diff...

What a weird block log. Four mistaken blocks?

Heh. Check out this - after Ryulong blocked him, SlimVirgin disapproved his unblock request. Also, he's posted an interesting sample of how Ryulong treats users in the unblock IRC channel.

No shit, Durova Sherlock. I was just making a statement as to why you're in this position at all.

Don't worry, I'm sure you've made Raul very proud.

Oh, I'm paying attention. For this disgraceful behaviour I think you should RFC and then Arb Kirill, so that we can have a perfect circular firing squad, from which Wikipedia would only benefit.

Nothing would be better than if you, JzG, Durova, MONGO, and all of ArbCom were forced to simply write articles for a year or two instead of imagining malfeasant sock-vandals under every bed.

In the meantime, the siege mentality is hilarious to watch from the outside, as the rats turn on each other, left and right. The quasi-resignation and sabbatical of SlimVirgin and Jayjg now seem downright prescient.

what slimvirgin sabbatical? she was editing as recently as today?

sv took a dramatic pause for about a month (around september-october), only interrupted by her use of her "Sunsplash" account.

Why is it that every thread on this forum turns into a SlimVirgin thread?

Because you're not abusive interesting enough.

Let's not change the subject.

Ryulong is at 2 rejects now, one recusal. I can't believe Raul654 actually recused, I always thought conflict of interest was a big turn-on for him...

It has to do with the Jungian fascinations with Little Red Riding Hood.

Ryulong, if this ArbCom every succeeds to bring this to the front, do the following to win:

1) Gather ye friends from yon IRC. Find also prominent Wikipedians of which you have "dirt" on them. Make it clear that you need their support on the RFAR... or else.

2) Find a loyal administrator, but do not let him get involved on your RFAR! You will need him to watchlist the ArbCom case and block any "trolls" or IPs or young accounts trying to bring evidence against you. Allow, of course, them to bring evidence against your accuser, VO, whether the evidence be true or not.

3) Make it clear that you only blocked VO for a day. Blocking someone for an hour, 75 minutes, or a week is really no big deal. People get blocked and banned all the time and no one should be angry at the blocking admin for blocking especially if it was a mistake.

4) Spin this case against your accuser. Point out his flaws. Ignore your own. Note his Conflict of Interest by your blocking him months ago. He's obviously out for vengeance and has no legitimate grievance against you.

5) Never say you're sorry. Make him say he's sorry. Talk calmly like a telemarketer or IT person. Eventually VO will say something uncivil. No need to block, but if the Arbs don't seem to notice, point it out in evidence or on the workshop. Never attack your enemy directly. Make him attack you and he will be judged as vicious by others.

6) When this is over, your accuser will be angry and upset. Go to his talk page and kindly say something like "I hope we can put this drama behind us, move forward, and do what we came here to do... write an encyclopedia!" This can for now end if VO does nothing or archives a week or more later. But if he archives within a week, he is being uncivil! How dare he remove a "good faith" attempt at reconciliation! Unarchive the comment and make clear that is uncivil, that he does not own his talk page, and that he should be ashamed of himself as he is an administrator and should know better! Get one of your admin friends to block him if he persists. Remember, he is a vicious anti-Ryulong monster and he must be stopped! Encourage via IRC those weirdoes that put Wikilove templates on everyone's talk page to go put one on VO's talk page and let those weirdoes tell him that being angry with you is uncivil and we should all be happy all the time and never be sad on WP. If he reacts negatively to this, it is like kicking a puppy and uninvolved admins will likely block him. So subjected to abuse, he will eventually lose everything.

7) Thus, your accuser can either drop his grievances against you or commit WP seppuku.

And that is how the Cabalists destroy their enemies via ArbCom. My super secret evidence has discovered this!

The Joy

We will document no War of Attrition before its time.

why is it that you have a 0.100 batting average when it comes to sleuthing?

Hello PUNK.... It's aways a pleasure to stick a harppon in you bloated ego.

Any rate, I wonder how long the world and blue water internet will tolerated you
and your punkass ways.

You are a despicable excuse for a human and in fact you are with out
soul or ethics


Don't think I will ever leave until wikipeida is destroyed and
you and your buddy Gamiail are bought to task to answer
for you crimes against the internet and human quest for truth.


BTW I have hundreds of socks and 10 buds and we are getting ready
to diminish and bring negative attention to Whikipeida and its cretin Admins,
like your self. I will start to bring attention to wikipeida and it's abuses to the local newspaper
and show to world that wikipeida is a waste of life and a danger to the the internet at large.

I have a web domain which I will begin to blog all things Negative about wiki as my way
to hasten the destruction of Wikipeided and the outing of those whos lifes will be ruied
by the shear fact of being associated with the evil which wikipeida is ...

This in the end will impact wikipeida's foundation fund raising and encourage
those, who have been "WRONGED" by wikipedia to sue.

Nasty days are ahead for you and your JIMBO cultists.

CHEERS as JGZ would say.

In these classic wars of attrition, there may even be a few early casualties as the combatants stumble their way to the front lines of battle.

Gary Moreland has read "The Joy of Arbcom" manual summarised above, but it just isn't doing the jedi mindtrick this time.

I have a feeling JzG will take my "advice" in his upcoming RFC. But JzG does not even do Number 6 by going to user talk pages and asking for peace and love. He just says "FU" and "banned means banned!" and away you go. I mean, you should at least pretend to be nice to your enemies. Mantanmoreland isn't really following the advice either. The closest I've seen of this is MONGO going to Cla68's talk page and begging him to stop his campaign for the good of the wiki.

I believe Ryulong did go to VO's talkpage and followed my "advice" (or perhaps I saw what he did and then I wrote down my "advice"). And he got off without even slap on the wrist. Pity.
