Discussion on who and who should not be included in this list started all the way back in May 2015. Capitals00 and D4iNa4, were requested several times to engage, however, they did not effectively engage throughout this period. When consensus was finally reached in mid-January over-here {{diff2|700602654}} it seemed to have been established. However, shortly after both D4iNa4 and Capitals00 began a campaign of edit-warring and reverts. [[User:Xtremedood|Xtremedood]] ([[User talk:Xtremedood|talk]]) 01:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC) |

:Consensus is at talk page, clearly against Xtremedood and his obsession to keep enforcing his personal views is so prevalent, that it is really wasting our time. [[User:D4iNa4|D4iNa4]] ([[User talk:D4iNa4|talk]]) 11:35, 5 March 2016 (UTC) |

=== Statement by Rhododendrites === |
|||
My initial reaction to being notified is that this does not seem to me a situation that requires ArbCom. It's a content dispute: are particular sources good enough to include certain names in the [[List of converts to Hinduism from Islam]]. Both sides have edit warred and participation in discussion has been inconsistent, but it's not intractable and there are several steps I think it could go through before ArbCom, certainly. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 01:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC) |
|||
Let me be clearer about where, specifically, the current dispute is. |
|||
#I got involved last June, when Xtremedood was involved in a dispute with Delibzr (and OccultZone sock). Xtremedood wanted to remove several names that OZ wanted to add. |
|||
#I looked at the contested entries and sources, fixed/added some things, and, following discussion on the talk page, came to the conclusion that about 1/3 of the contested names were rightly removed, a few were clearly appropriate to include, and others had sourcing issues but should be discussed before removing. |
|||
#Several months later, in November, Xtremedood removed the latter group. D4iNa4 promptly reverted and they edit warred for a couple weeks. |
|||
#Xtremedood went to DRN in December. D4iNa4 did not participate. |
|||
#Also in December, I started the section [[Talk:List_of_converts_to_Hinduism_from_Islam#Starting over, and breaking it down|"Starting over, and breaking it down"]], creating separate threads to summarize issues and discuss each controversial name. |
|||
#In January, after DRN closed with no action, FreeatlastChitchat again removed the names. |
|||
#Based on my previous evaluations, I added summaries to each of the talk page subsections and, based on that, restored a couple of the names. It was at this point that I feel there was some weak sense of consensus -- not that discussion was closed, but that the names in the list were justified and that if others were to be re-added, better sources were needed. |
|||
#On February 17 D4iNa4 [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_converts_to_Hinduism_from_Islam&diff=705441248&oldid=705397088 restored] three of the names ''with additional sources''. The additional sources were challenged on the talk page by FreeatlastChitchat and defended by D4iNa4 and Capitals00. I have not yet formed an opinion about the sources myself, but would probably default to inclusion without a compelling argument as to their unreliability. |
|||
So there's a disagreement about sources that hasn't even really gone anywhere since it started a few weeks ago. A few reasons were given for why they're not reliable, there were responses, and that's about the end of it. |
|||
In general I appreciate Xtremedood's frustration at D4iNa4's not-so-enthusiastic approach to discussing subjects he/she is willing to edit war over, but D4iNa4 ''did'' add sources recently and hasn't been entirely uncommunicative. So, again, I don't think ArbCom is in order, but for crying out loud stop edit warring and use the talk page. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 02:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC) |

This is not an ArbCom issue at this point. No other venues have been utilized yet. Edit-warring should be dealt with at [[WP:ANEW]]. Tag-teaming behavior and/or lack of following consensus should be dealt with at ANI. Content disputes or establishing/builiding consensus should be dealt with via some form of [[WP:DR]]. ArbCom should only be involved when all of those many other avenues have been used and exhausted. As a stop-gap measure the article could be placed under full protection for as long as it takes for some form of official [[WP:DR]] to be implemented and completed for each of the disputed items.

|||
Addendum: {{re|Xtremedood}} [[WP:DISCUSSFAIL]] is an excellent protocol to follow when another editor fails to engage in article talk-page discussions but continues to revert or edit-war, etc. Make sure you follow it closely and to the letter, though.

It appears that the persons identified in this list are or were either in India or in Pakistan. If so, [[WP:ARBIPA]] is already in effect and [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]] is a proper venue. ArbCom should decline because they already provided an alternative means of sanctions years ago.

::[[User:Callanec]] - I agree that either [[WP:Mediation|mediation]] or [[meditation]] might be appropriate. Meditation should be in accordance with the editor's own selected spiritual tradition and might help one to see the value of collaborative editing.

Arbitrator workflow motions | 1 December 2024 |
About this page Use this page to request the committee open an arbitration case. To be accepted, an arbitration request needs 4 net votes to "accept" (or a majority). Arbitration is a last resort. WP:DR lists the other, escalating processes that should be used before arbitration. The committee will decline premature requests. Requests may be referred to as "case requests" or "RFARs"; once opened, they become "cases". Before requesting arbitration, read the arbitration guide to case requests. Then click the button below. Complete the instructions quickly; requests incomplete for over an hour may be removed. Consider preparing the request in your userspace. To request enforcement of an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. To clarify or change an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.
Guidance on participation and word limits Unlike many venues on Wikipedia, ArbCom imposes word limits. Please observe the below notes on complying with word limits.

- [3] - Survey in which the majority agree that Bangladesh should be included in the results section as a victor.
- [4] - Discussion which concluded the wording.
- [5], [6], examples of revisions by Capitals00 after consensus was reached.
- [7] - Request for mediation between disagreement between Capitals00 and I, which was declined due to Capitals00 not responding.
- [8] - Follow-up on Capitals00 not responding to mediation.
- [9] - Report of Capitals00 at the Edit-Warring noticeboard, where I was told to take this to arbitration by the deciding admin. Xtremedood (talk) 02:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Xtremedood
Consensus, way back in July 2015, was that Bangladesh should be included in the results section, see here [10]. Continued disputes surrounding the wording were solved in early December, 2015, over here [11]. Revisions, contrary to consensus and disruptive edits by Capitals00 began in mid-to-late December 2015, as seen here [12], with non-effective rationale for its revision. A third opinion, was requested by me, between the dispute between Capitals00 and I. However, for some reason, user Ghatus commented and the third opinion was not made (due to third opinions being reserved for disputes between 2 users). The response may be seen over here [13]. A suggestion that mediation should occur was made by the third opinion poster. I then requested mediation here [14], however, it was rejected due to Capitals00 not responding. I then reported Capitals00 to the edit-warring noticeboard, however it was declined, this time due to it not breaking the 3rr. However, a suggestion of arbitration was made over here [15]. I am now seeking arbitration, as to whether or not Bangladesh should be included in the results section of the article. Xtremedood (talk) 02:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by Capitals00
Statement by Ghatus
Everyone is requested to visit the Talk Page of the mentioned article. The consensus is against Xtremedood by 4 to 2 and all the three sources are against Xtremedood. He has provided no WP:RS and all other 3 WP:RSs are against his demand. See this : [16] & [17]. Ghatus (talk) 04:07, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by uninvolved Softlavender
@Xtremedood: You've misread the suggestion by Ymblanter, who wrote "Declined I see disruption and team-tagging reverts in the article. No signle editor overstepped 3RR strictly speaking. This means arbitration enforcement is your next stop, not here." [18] (underscoring mine) Arbitration Enforcement is thataway. If I were you I would immediately withdraw both of these ArbCom Request filings before they boomerang on you. Softlavender (talk) 03:11, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Statement by {Non-party}

Vote key: (Accept/decline/recuse/other)
- Please explain why you didn't try WP:AE first? --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 03:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline. Try WP:AE or WP:RFC. Gamaliel (talk) 22:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline WP:AE is down the hall and to the left ;) I think this is the second recent example of mixing up a case request with an AE request; maybe we need to improve the instructions. Opabinia regalis (talk) 22:29, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline per Gamaliel. Kirill Lokshin (talk) 01:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline conduct issues can be dealt with by making a request at WP:AE under the WP:ARBIPA discretionary sanctions as long as the editors involved are "aware". Disputes over content can be dealt with by following dispute resolution and starting an RFC. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:39, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline AE is the appropriate place for this; I agree with Opabinia regalis that we probably need clearer instructions of how to ask for intervention in problems like this. DGG ( talk ) 06:10, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Decline should be at WP:AE. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:30, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
