Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/DreamGuy/Proposed decision

all proposed

After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.

• Only items that receive a majority "support" vote will be passed.
• Items that receive a majority "oppose" vote will be formally rejected.
• Items that do not receive a majority "support" or "oppose" vote will be open to possible amendment by any Arbitrator if he so chooses. After the amendment process is complete, the item will be voted on one last time.

Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.

On this case, [N] Arbitrators is/are recused and [N] is/are inactive, so [N] votes are a majority.

For all items

Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.

Motions and requests by the parties

Place those on the discussion page.

Proposed temporary injunctions

Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")

Original research

2) DreamGuy makes the obvious connection between the otherkin subculture and Therianthropy subculture and clinical lycanthropy [1] [2] [3]; however this contention is unsourced and at variance with DSM-IV, see User:Vashti/Otherkin/Medical perspectives and rant another rant.

3) DreamGuy, Hipocrite, Friday and Gabrielsimon (editing as Gavin the Chosen and as Gimmiet (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) have engaged in edit wars regarding links between clinical lycanthropy, a psychiatric condition, and otherkin and therianthropy, subcultural passtimes [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. [12] (At this point SlimVirgin reverted to pre-3RR version [13]) [14], Bryan Derksen, [15], Friday, another tack (now as Gimmiet), reverted by Friday, see Talk:Clinical_lycanthropy#unlinking see also.

Discussion by Arbitrators

Motion to close

Four net "support" votes needed to close case (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")
24 hours from the first motion is normally the fastest a case will close.

1. The evidence for this case is scant and utterly unpersausive; it is also 100% content-dispute related. →Raul654 16:06, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
2. Concur with Raul654 on this one. There's not enough of a case to do anything here. Kelly Martin (talk) 18:04, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
3. Vote to close — nothing to see here, move along ... ➥the Epopt 05:36, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
4. Close, as per Raul654. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 05:47, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
5. Close, then. James F. (talk) 11:54, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

1. Oppose, until we take a closer look, see User:Vashti/Otherkin/Medical perspectives and DSM_cautionary_statement Fred Bauder 18:44, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
