Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Avala/Proposed decision: Difference between revisions

all proposed

Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or vote to abstain.

• Only items that receive a majority yay vote will be enacted.
• Items that receive a majority nay vote will be formally rejected.
• Items that do not receive a majority yay or nay 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.
• Items that receive a majority abstentions will need to go through an amendment process and be re-voted on once.

Conditional votes for, against, or to abstain should be explained by the arbitrator in parenthesis after his time-stamped signature. For example, an arbitrator can state that he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were enacted.

Proposed findings of fact

1) User Avala created a template, Template:NAM, which because of the large number of countries involves was quite large and would reasonably, if accepted by the Wikipedia community, be added to about 100 articles. Avala's initiative was contested by User Snowspinner who first blanked the template [1] and then listed it as a candidate for deletion [2]. See [3] where although the page was severely criticized there was failure to achieve a consensus to delete the page.

Yea:

Abstain:

2) It is probable that to User Avala, who has a Serbian background, the Non-Aligned Movement which was founded by Tito has more significance than is usually accorded it by Wikipedia editors.
