Location, history, name
As of April 2010, this § contains only location information, essentially names of streets. Has this entry suffered from another "revert war"? 170.63.96.108 (talk) 18:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Since it now only states "Location", I just changed the section title to reflect that. The "history and name" part is important (that's why I came to read the article in the first place, actually) so it would be really nice to find a source for the "since XIV century" claim... 195.23.92.1 (talk) 11:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Human trafficking
Although the "human trafficking" part is good, wouldn't it fit better in Prostitution in the Netherlands and a smaller summary of that in this article. It just doesn't seems specific enough for de wallen, but more for prostitution in general Garion96 15:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I would like to point out that this article has racist overtones and that has no place on Wikipedia. This article is supposed to be about one Red Light District, instead more than half of the article is devoted to heresy about Turks, Morroccans, and a horror story about completely fabricated statistics. Some women are coaxed into it, but many are not. Some "boyfriends" may be Turkish or Morroccan, but most are not, and this kind of racially-biased conjecture has no place in an Encyclopedia. If I posted similar completely false statistics and racially biased commentary in any other part of the site, it would be removed, so I trust the same legitimacy will be given to this particular article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.186.143.4 (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Agreed. A lot of the Wikipedia articles on this subject are currently very POV towards attempting to give the impression that most of the window prostitutes in the Netherlands are controlled by pimps/human trafficking/organised crime gangs even though this claim is disputed by organisations such as the PIC. Indeed the whole point of having prostitution legal and regulated is to try and stamp out the exploitation of prostitutes by pimps. While noone is claiming that the problem has been completely eradicated the police do keep a very close watch on the RLD's and have never been able to establish that exploitation is taking place on the scale that some are claiming. 86.112.87.9 (talk) 22:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

The information from the PIC is as unreliable as all the other 'hearsay evidence' since they have a strong pro-prostitution bias. and will therefore likely downplay indications of forced prostitution and human trafficking.

as for legality weeding out trafficking: the problem is that most women who chose the profession more or less out of their own free will want to work anonymously (to prevent 'getting a reputation'). so the only women willing to work in a highly visible field of prostitution like on the wallen are foreigners and women forced into prostitution: they either don't know have any friends/family in amsterdam or they are so afraid of their loverboy that they are willing to risk being exposed.

rascism? f*ck off. if the statistics say that most loverboys are from a certain country than no amount of screaming niggerman will change that.Selena1981 (talk) 00:06, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

True
Yeah, that's right. But I've read the rules of Wikipedia recently and I discovered I could have broken the 'original research' guideline. What I've done is I researched an internetsite (www.hookers.nl) where prostitution-clients write about their experiences with prostitutes. There's a lot of interesting information there. For instance about the age and nationality of the prostitutes. There's no report where you can find such information!!! By analyzing this site I have gained much more insight into the world of prostitution. I've also used the chatter done by prostitutes and clients on this site (including me). You know, I am a prostitute-client myself. But anyway, if you happen to speak Dutch and you research prostitution, visit www.hookers.nl. You can check things for yourself. I think I'll expand Prostitution in the Netherlands too. I'll be as neutral as possible. --Bruno Junqueira 23:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

i agree that such customer-review websites are a good way of getting an honest opinion from the client's side of things (which is not to say it's 100% reliable concerning forced prostitution, since i think most 'walkers' don't want to see themselves as 'jerk who takes advantage of a woman in need') Selena1981 (talk) 00:06, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

No Original Research
I’ve definitively broken the ‘no original research’-rule. I removed all the data about the ages and nationalities of prostitutes. I researched those myself. I also removed references to certain alleys. I obtained that data from what a prostitute told me.

All the data in my contribution to this article can now be verified. But.... I have to offer some additional notes. The Scharlaken Koord states that out of 439 Dutch window-prostitutes on the Wallen they had contact with in 2001, 380 indicated they were brought into prostitution by a loverboy. That’s not a fabrication created by a fundamentalist Christian organisation. This is confirmed by many other sources. A police officer named Manon Niemeijr has spoken with a lot of window-prostitutes in the ‘Spijkerkwartier’, a red-light district in Arnhem (source: ’Verlicht Kwartier, 40 jaar Arnhemse spijkerbuurt’ by Kees Crone). She confirms most Dutch women behind the windows were introduced into prostitution by a loverboy. And above all, I had the chance to ask two (former) window-prostitutes if this was true (original research!!!). They both confirmed it. But they stressed that most girls get rid of their pimp very early on in their career and only a few are still under the spell of a pimp. --Bruno Junqueira 09:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

yeah. but if you had continued asking questions after you got the answers you wanted ('i started because of my boyfriend [so i'm a victim, not a to-lazy-to-work woman entering prostitution to get a gucchi-handbag], but now i continue because i just like whoring myself so much') you might have gotten a different research-outcome.

the problem is that prostitutes are flooded with 'researchers' and 'writers' and 'journalists' who all claim to be doing research. as a pretext for talking with prostitutes about sex. they are also regularly approached by men claiming to want to order their services and then backing out at the last moment (therefore prostitutes are wary of being used as a free phone-sex substitute) the phenomenon is such that: a: such talk costs you money. prostitutes don't gives interviews for free and they don't spent an hour on the phone discussing sex and whoring without getting paid for their time. b: these prostitutes know damn well that these 'writers' are just horny boys looking for wank-off material, but lacking the ball to outright 'go to a prostitute'. these guys don't want to hear about prostitutes being enslaved, they want to hear about prostitutes who are fond of sex. who have 'made their hobby into their work' c: even if a prostitute wants to be honest there might be cognitive dissonance involved. if she is still under the influence of a loverboy she will claim (and honestly believe) that the guy that is pulling her strings is her boyfriend and not her pimp. and therefore claim to 'be doing the work because i want to, not because i'm forced to do it' Selena1981 (talk) 00:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

POV?
This article doesn't really talk about De Wallen as much as it seems to talk about pimps and human trafficking. Seems to me like these extra things are thrown in here to negatively color what might otherwise be a simple article about a famous place. 65.3.134.219 02:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Heyyy, you are absolutely right!!!! I see this article has been totally revamped with all the negative sides been removed, with some new additions about windows being removed without the background-story of all this. It's fine with me. I'm not too interested in Wikipedia anymore. Lately a (largely) Turkish gang has been rounded up who (also) forced women to work on De Wallen. Also some streets are mentioned: De Trompettersteeg, de Sint Annenstraat and de Sint Annendwarsstraat, de surroundings of de Monnikenstraat and de Oude Kennissteeg - plus de burgwallen (you can find it in articles in Het Parool on www.parool.nl, the specific article is http://archief.parool.nl/artikel?text=seksslaven&SORT=presence&ED=ola&PRD=2y&SEC=%2A&FDOC=9). I believe this kind of (negative) information should be mentioned on wikipedia, but especially which article?Bruno Junqueira 13:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

it's useful to understand WHY the amsterdam city-government would want to close down de wallen. there is an ongoing debate as to whether or not most women 'behind the window' are forced into prostitution. is it a good place for prostitutes, where they can ply their trade without any fear of criminal prosecution? or is it a place filled with degrading sex-slavery, where the police idly stands by? one of the complaints of the latter group is that for far to long it was 'not done' to talk about the idea that prostitution-related crime might not be isolated incidents, but rather something that is a natural result of the fundamentally degrading nature of prostitution. and therefore it is important to establish how big crime in on de wallen: are it isolated incidents or is there a fundamental problem? Selena1981 (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy? about closing down live sex shows
I came to this page to see what sorts of things Amsterdam has to offer, but am really disappointed to see a long article about the sex industry rather than the Red Light District itself. Most of it is irrelevant, and a lot seems uncited and inaccurate. For example - saying Banana Bar and Casa Rosso was shut down: I walked past both today and they were still very active. Does this article just need to be restarted from scratch? 194.171.56.13 (talk) 10:21, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Banana Bar and Casa Rosso are still open and operating as normal, as of 23rd October 2009, I know because I visited both over the weekend. 92.12.18.39 (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

City government actions of 2007/2008
The "zipcode" (actually ZIP code, an acronym for Zone Improvement Program) is an Americanism. I suggest "postal code." Dick Kimball (talk) 14:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Number of windows
How many prostitution-windows is there in De Wallen now in 2010? This article says approximately 300 at the beginning of the article, but then it says 60 further down in the article.. So what is correct? Oppmann (talk) 20:46, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Definitely less than 300 active windows now. Even 60 is probably an over estimate at this stage. There have been big changes in that part of town over the last few years. Most of the remaining windows are in a small area around Oudekerksplein and the narrow lanes (e.g. Sint Annenstraat) nearby.89.242.194.4 (talk) 21:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

There are far more windows than 60. I live in Koestraat in De Wallen and walk through the neighbourhood every day. the website ignatzmice.com though a little out of date has diagramatic plans of the streets that have windows. I can say without fear of being wrong that there are closer to 300 than 60 operating windows in De Wallen. They won't all be open every night, there is a seasonal nature to the trade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.161.209.243 (talk) 12:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

The number of windows may easily be counted on this map. Reim (talk) 14:15, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Removal of sourced information by ip 213.46.146.247 and report by UNODC
You need to stop removing sourced information from the article.

This UNODC report states clearly at page 63 that NL is a top destination for trafficking:http://www.unodc.org/documents/human-trafficking/HT-globalpatterns-en.pdf

The report reads:

"With reference to the citation index, ten countries in the Trafficking Database score very high as reported destinations for trafficked victims. Five of these countries are in Western Europe (in alphabetical order): Belgium, Germany, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. Among Asian countries that score very high are Israel and Turkey (Western Asia and Turkey); Japan (Eastern Asia); Thailand (South-Eastern Asia). The other very highly reported destination country is the United States (North America)"2A02:2F0A:505F:FFFF:0:0:BC19:9F0F (talk) 20:44, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

You need to see the earlier talk topics above referencing problems with POV and racism in this article, which is unacceptable and not informative about the historic geographical area of the Wallen. As discussed earlier information more generally suited to the Prostitution in Netherlands article or not referring to the Wallen specifically should be moved. 213.46.146.247 (talk) 08:48, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * NL isn't just a "potential destination" or a "destination" for trafficking as you have written (nearly all countries are), but it is a top destination: the UNODC report classifies countries as scorring "very high"; "high"; "medium"; "low"; and "very low" as destinations. And NL is classified as "very high" - so I'm sorry, but you'll have to get used to it, and you need to stop attempting to slant the article by misrepresenting facts. 188.25.159.151 (talk) 13:32, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Section "Abuses and Human trafficking"
Section "Abuses and Human trafficking" reads:

 * "It was suggested that 75% of Amsterdam's prostitutes are from Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia, according to an alleged former prostitute who produced a report about the sex trade.[17] However the author of the report, Patricia Perquin, was later revealed as journalist Valérie Lempereur who was not a sex worker and was employed as a publisher in Belgium during the time period she claimed to have worked in the RLD."

This is not correct. This report was made by former prostitute Karina Schaapman. The woman who falsely claimed to have been a prostitute is not the author of this report quoted here; she is another woman named Patricia Perquin - that was an entirely different case.2A02:2F0A:507F:FFFF:0:0:BC1A:B65E (talk) 08:33, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

University of Amsterdam
Perhaps it should be mentioned that some of the faculties and other buildings of the University of Amsterdam are also located in "De Wallen". For instance, the buildings on the "oudemanhuispoort" en "oude turfmarkt". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.32.157 (talk) 16:56, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Prostitution to Sex Work
I noticed someone attempt to change the words "prostitution" to "sex work" on here and the revisions were taken down. It's important to stray from the word prostitution because it stigmatizes what sex work is. The term "prostitute" is filled with harmful bias that takes significance away from sex work and demonizes sex workers. These revisions should be re-implemented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emmabenyosef (talk • contribs) 18:10, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Past Tense and Claims of Closure
Why is the district referred to in the past tense throughout the article, and stated to have been "closed down" in 2020?

The district is very much still active, despite having been closed temporarily during the Covid-19 pandemic for safety reasons. The district has not been permanently closed down, and there are no plans I can find to make moves above and beyond increasing policing. Neither of the sources cited for the statement that it was closed down in 2020 mention any plans to do so beyond the temporary closures due to the pandemic, either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.7.180.105 (talk) 19:20, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Ahmed F. Mehalba

Ahmed Fathy Mehalba was a United States Department of Defense civilian translator/ interrogator who was accused of lying to government agents and removing classified documents from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

Childhood and emigration to United States
Born in Egypt, Mehalba emigrated to the United States and became a naturalized citizen. Mehalba received a medical discharge from the Army in May 2001 and was later hired a San Diego defense contractor, Titan Corporation, to be an Arabic-English translator at Guantanamo Bay.

Arrest and conviction
In 2003, Mehalba was assigned as a civilian interpreter/ interrogator at Guantanamo. He was arrested on September 29, 2003, at Boston Logan Airport. Mehalba had flown into Logan through Italy from Cairo, Egypt. On a routine admission through U.S. customs, Mehalba presented a U.S. passport and a US military identification card. When asked about some computer CDs, he said that they contained only music and videos he had made while in Egypt. One CD was labeled secret. Mehalba told inspectors that he did not have any official U.S. government documents.

In January 2005, Mehalba pleaded guilty to lying to governments agents and removing classified documents. Mehalba was sentenced to 20 months in prison, with credit for 17 months, time served. He was released in March 2005.

Talk:Temperature coefficient

Please expand the section on thermometers, include some explanation of linear or volume expansion. Another couple of paragraphs should be plenty.--Homunq 15:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC) Leave the information as it is indexed now. This makes it easier to find when looking for "PTC Thermal Cutout" etc152.72.151.71 (talk) 21:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a list of temperature coefficients, see: Electrical resistivities of the elements (data page); and Electrical resistivity and conductivity. Charlieb000 (talk) 11:36, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

re: Mergeto temperature coefficient
I think there needs to be a distinction between PTC Devices (a class of electronics devices) and the PTC Effect (physics). In electronics, PTC resistors (sometimes also known as Posistors) are most often used for self-resetting, over-current protection where they can be used to replace disposable fuses. They can also be used as in constant current circuits and self-heated thermostats (or should that be self-thermostatically controlled heaters?). I think it is important not to loose the distinction of how PTC is used in the electronics field. When referring to one of these components it is common to refer to it simply as a PTC, so I think PTC is likely to appear as a search term. It would be confusing if a search for PTC resulted in a physics article on temperature coefficient. --Noah (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * That's why the dab page PTC exists, so that when someone searches for PTC they can either select the device or the coefficient. Wizard191 (talk) 21:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Merge completed
I have merged three related articles into this one. Please consider expanding and referencing this article, rather than undoing the merge, should you feel that the merge introduced incorrect or unreferenced material. Thanks. Protonk (talk) 19:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It might have been better to leave the electrical resistance and magnetic effects in separate articles (despite the similarity of their names). Better IMO to have just the maths here with links to separate articles for different physical parameters. - Rod57 (talk)

NTC vs. PTC
The article currently states: "Materials with a negative temperature coefficient have been used in floor heating since 1971. The negative temperature coefficient avoids excessive local heating beneath carpets, bean bag chairs, mattresses etc., which can damage wooden floors, and may infrequently cause fires." I think the author meant positive temp coefficient resistive heaters? A negative temperature coefficient resistive heater would have a lower resistance with increasing temperature. If connected to a constant voltage source, this would exhibit thermal runaway. For example, driving the heater increases it's temperature, which lowers the resistance, which allows more current to flow, which causes the heater to dissipate more power since Power=Current*Voltage. Perhaps the author meant that these heaters exhibit a positive temperature coefficient with respect to their conductance (not resistance?)? If so, the article should likely be corrected as it is non-standard to refer to a heaters conductance temperature coefficient. Typically, the tempco of the resistance is listed in the datasheet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.156.192.18 (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Temperature coefficient is a function of applied voltage
According to this source, resistance TC is a function of voltage -- a relationship that is claimed to be an important consideration in some circuit designs. If that's correct, it seems worthy of at least a brief mention in the article. Lambtron  talk  20:28, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Sport compact

Sport compact is a United States marketing classification for a high-performance version of a compact or a subcompact car. There is no precise definition, and the description is applied to various models for promotional purposes.

Cars began to be marketed as sport compacts in the mid-1980s to describe the option packages on American-built coupes. Since then, it has also been used for standalone sports car models and cars imported from Europe and Asia.

The European equivalent is a hot hatch. However, sport compacts are not limited to hatchback body styles.

Characteristics
A sports compact should "fulfill the multiple duties of a family car, plaything, and daily driver". Many sports compacts have coupe, sedan, or hatchback body styles built on mass-production platforms. Other common (but not essential) characteristics include front-wheel or all-wheel drive, a four-cylinder internal-combustion engine, suspension tuned for handling, and bodywork designed to improve aerodynamics or allow for larger wheels.

"Econosport" is a rarely used term for a sports version of a small economy car.

History

An early sport compact was the 1968 Ford Capri, a European coupe built on the platform of the second-generation Ford Cortina sedans.

The early American-built sport compact models contained optional performance or sporting packages for mass-produced compact coupes in the 1980s. Examples include the 1986 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, the 1986 Ford EXP Sport Coupe, the 1987 Renault Alliance GTA, and the 1988 Plymouth Sundance. These models achieved moderate sales. Sport compact models gained greater prominence by the mid-1990s, sold in significant numbers in models such as the 1993 Ford Probe (based on the Mazda MX-6 platform), and the 1995 Chevrolet Cavalier/Pontiac Sunfire badge-engineered twins.

Sports compacts of the 2000s include the 2001-2003 Ford ZX2, the 2004-2007 Saturn Ion Red Line, the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS, and the 2003-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4.

European hot hatches are considered 'sport compact' cars in the North American market. Examples include the 1976-present Volkswagen Golf GTI and the 2000-present Mini Cooper. Similarly, most Japanese hot hatches and sports coupes are classified as 'sport compact' cars when sold in North America, for example, the 1984-present Honda Civic Si, 2007-2013 Mazdaspeed3, and the 2012-present Toyota 86.

Sport compact cars are often used in motorsport events because they are relatively lightweight. They are used to compete in various types of motorsport, including autocross, rallying, rallycross, touring car racing, drifting, and drag racing.

From 2005 through 2012, the International Sport Compact Auto Racing Series was an American stock car racing series for sports compacts that mostly raced on paved oval racetracks.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Regarding Ted Kennedy

Case Opened on 15:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Case Closed on 22:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Please do not edit this page directly unless you wish to become a participant in this request. (All participants are subject to Arbitration Committee decisions, and the ArbCom will consider each participant's role in the dispute.) Comments are very welcome on the Talk page, and will be read, in full. Evidence, no matter who can provide it, is very welcome at /Evidence. Evidence is more useful than comments.

Arbitrators will be working on evidence and suggesting proposed decisions at /Workshop and voting on proposed decisions at /Proposed decision.

Nominal defendant

 * and other anonymous addresses

Statement by party 1
Please limit your statement to 500 words Either a single anonymous editor, using multiple IP addresses but primarily 24.147.97.230, or multiple anonymous editors, have been engaged in an extended edit war on the Ted Kennedy page, and now also the Rosemary Kennedy page.

A complete list of addresses in use is found at Requests for comment/24.147.97.230.

There are two issues, content issues and conduct issues. I am not asking the ArbCom to resolve the content issues. However, the conduct issues make it impossible to resolve the content issues. The page has been under page protection twice in the past two months to stop the edit wars and revert wars.

The content issues are whether particular sections that are negative to Ted Kennedy and to Joseph Kennedy Sr. should be included. The majority of signed-in editors think that these sections are non-encyclopedic and should not be included. The anonymous editors have insisted on continuing to add (revert) the same sections. They have accused the other editors of failing to negotiate in good faith.

The first content issue was the inclusion of an external link to an attack web site from the Ted Kennedy page. Multiple anonymous IP addresses added the link, no more than three addresses in a 24-hour period, which appears to be gaming the system. The page was then protected by an admin. After some search for a mediator, Kelly Martin agreed to try to mediate. This resulted in her conclusion that there was a consensus against inclusion of the link.

The anonymous editors have now tried to add the link to the web site for Rosemary Kennedy, who was only a victim and should not be the subject of having her family ridiculed. Claims that there was a consensus against the inclusion of the link are being rejected.

There were two more revert wars over the inclusion of material of little encyclopedic value. Editors who think that these paragraphs should not be included have been willing to have quickpolls on their relevance. However, the anonymous editors have altered the polls, and have accused their opponents (incorrectly) of POV pushing and disregard for consensus.

Since discussion is not working, and requests for other methods of discussion are not working, I request arbitration as a last resort.

ArbCom actions requested by party 1
I am requesting, as an interim measure, that the ArbCom issue a temporary injunction against anonymous edits to the Ted Kennedy and Rosemary Kennedy articles until this matter is arbitrated.

When the ArbCom accepts this case, I request that the principles cited include a statement that disputes should be resolved by consensus, but that consensus does not mean unanimous consent. (These anonymous editors are arguing, based on competing dictionary definitions, that consensus does mean unanimity, and so are demanding a liberum veto.) I also request that a statement be made that, in an encyclopedia, which is a compendium of knowledge, editorial judgment is required as to what is appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia.

Statement by party 2
Please limit your statement to 500 words

Hello, I'm not sure exactly what User:Robert McClenon is really looking for here. This user has filed FOUR RFCs to have users blocked in 30 days, the same 30 days of his new membership. I am the target of one of these RFCs. This is an average of one per week. As to my conduct, my conduct is proper. The issues I have involve a group of editors who delete and revert material on pages related to Kennedys. They are extreme POV pushers and refuse to negociate. As to User:Robert McClenon, If he can give a specific and exact description of what his is looking to come to an agreement on I would be willing to participate. It is a bit of a surprise as this user wrote this today, "I have no interest in mediation with any anonymous editor.

Jesuati

The Jesuati (Jesuates) were a religious order founded by Giovanni Colombini of Siena in 1360. The order was initially called Clerici apostolici Sancti Hieronymi (from Latin: Apostolic Clerics of Saint Jerome) because of a special veneration for St. Jerome and the apostolic life the founders led. The order was abolished by Pope Clement IX on 6 December 1668.

History
Colombini had been a prosperous merchant and a senator in his native city, but, coming under ecstatic religious influences, abandoned secular affairs and his wife and daughter (after making provision for them), and with a friend of like temperament, Francesco Miani, gave himself to a life of apostolic poverty, penitential discipline, hospital service and public preaching.

The name Jesuati was given to Colombini and his disciples from the habit of calling loudly on the name of Jesus at the beginning and end of their ecstatic sermons. The senate banished Colombini from Siena for "imparting foolish ideas to the young men of the city", and he continued his mission in Arezzo and other places, only to be honourably recalled home on the outbreak of the bubonic plague. Howard Eves writes that the order was then "dedicated to nursing and burying the victims of the rampant bubonic plague."

Colombini went out to meet Urban V on his return from Avignon to Rome in 1367, and craved his sanction for the new order and a distinctive habit. Before this was granted, Colombini had to clear the movement of a suspicion that it was connected with the heretical sect of Fraticelli. He died on 31 July 1367, soon after papal approval had been given. The guidance of the new order, whose members (all lay brothers) gave themselves entirely to works of mercy, devolved upon Miani.

Suppression of the Order
Their rule of life, originally a compound of Benedictine and Franciscan elements, was later modified on Augustinian lines, but traces of the early penitential idea persisted, e.g. the wearing of sandals and a daily flagellation. Paul V in 1606 arranged for a small proportion of clerical members. Later in the 17th century the Jesuati became known as the Aquavitae Fathers, possibly because of the alcohol they administered as medical treatment of the sick they cared for.

The order was abolished by Pope Clement IX in 1668, perhaps because abuses had crept in. Amir Alexander wrote that it was likely in reaction to its support of the practitioners of the method of indivisibles, including Bonaventura Cavalieri and his students: this method was fiercely opposed by the rival, and more powerful, order of the Jesuits who viewed it as a religious threat.

Mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri was a member from the age of fifteen until his death. Other illustrious members included Stefano degli Angeli and the poet Bianco da Siena.

The female branch of the order, the Jesuati sisters, founded by Caterina Colombini (d. 1387) in Siena, and thence widely dispersed, survived the male branch by 200 years, existing until 1872 in small communities in Italy.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Regarding Ted Kennedy

The original request:

Involved parties

 * Party 1 (requesting arbitration): Robert McClenon
 * Party 2 (against whom arbitration is requested): 24.147.97.230 and other addresses.

Statement by party 1

Hello, I'm not sure exactly what User:Robert McClenon is really looking for here. This user has filed FOUR RFCs to have users blocked in 30 days, the same 30 days of his new membership. I am the target of one of these RFCs. This is an average of one per week. As to my conduct, my conduct is proper. The issues I have involve a group of editors who delete and revert material on pages related to Kennedys. They are extreme POV pushers and refuse to negociate.

Robert McClenon 22:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)" 24.147.97.230 02:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Interested third parties
I urge ArbCom to deal with this matter. This editor's conduct has not been proper in any way, shape, or form. This IP address initially started editing here by inserting a promotional link for the fatboy.cc anti-Kennedy website and now is intent on inserting large chunks of material derived from that website. S/he has unleashed an army of sockpuppets to start a revert war to insert two large, POV sections of dubious encyclopedic value. A large consensus of editors of numerous political persuasions opposes the insertion of the material in its current form. Instead of seeking a compromise or an alternative way to insert some of the same facts in the article (as many of those editors have repeatedly stated they were open to) this editor insists that everyone who disagrees with the insertion of those two sections is a pro-Kennedy partisan, a vandal, a POV warrior, etc., etc. This editor is essentially a one issue POV war and this sort of anti-wiki behavior should be stopped now. Gamaliel 04:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

If taken to ArbCom, Gamaliel needs to be a party to this. He/She is one of the most POV editors at the Kennedy Site and has co-written an RFC against me. 24.147.97.230 15:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * For the record, I did not write the RFC, though I did sign it, as did four other editors to date, and I agree with what Robert McClenon wrote. Also, if I am drafted into this proceeding, so should the rest of the ten or so editors who have participated in forming the consensus against 24.147's POV edits in that article. Gamaliel 16:12, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

comment from third party (Robert McClenon RFA v 24.147.97.230): FuelWagon
My involvment in this article was to post a reply to an article RFC some time ago regarding whether or not the article should include the "fatboy.cc" link. My comment at the time was something to the effect that the website seemed one step above juvenile bathroom humor, its only claim to fame is several pictures of Kennedy's naked stomach and a picture with a roadmap superimposed over his nose. This site is equivalent to finding a comment about someone scribbled on a bathroom wall with anatomically correct sketches included. I consider the site to be an embarrassment to be listed on wikipedia. And to use policy-language: it is unencyclopedic and non-notable. a number of editors agreed and the consensus seemed to be drop it. several anon IP editors voted to keep the link, but user jpgordon pointed out that most of these anon votes are from IP addresses that made only 1 edit, which would indicate ballot stuffing by one of the editors engaged in the dispute or the strangest voting dynamic I've seen on wikipedia. Despite consensus to drop it, 24.147.97.230 continues to push to have the fatboy.cc website listed. The ballot stuffing incident and the insistence to include a grout-writing URL despite consensus to drop it (at least among the registered users) is enough of a red-flag that good faith can no longer be assumed and that processes for dispute resolution that require good-faith (RFC's and mediation) will not work. FuelWagon 00:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

RE: ballot stuffing. In any wikipedia poll, I could find a website or mailing list or blog that supports my position and spam them saying "hey people, wikipedia is trying to suppress your point of view. Your vote is needed now!" or some equally partisan bit of propaganda, give them a URL to a wikipedia talk page with the poll in question, and then sit back and watch the votes tally up. I could do that, but I wouldn't. To me, polls are among editors who are actually doing the work, making the contributions, and investing the time to make the article better. i.e. polls are a way for editors to resolve disputes amongst themselves. The idea of getting outside, non-contributers to vote in a poll simply to force the result a certain way is not what I would call a good-faith attempt to resolve a dispute between editors who are actually working and contributing to an article. FuelWagon 14:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Previous Dispute Resolution
There have been three previous article Requests for Comments to try to resolve these content and conduct issues.

There was one previous attempt at mediation (via a non-MedCom procedure), by Kelly Martin. She concluded that there was a consensus against adding the "fatboy.cc" link to the Ted Kennedy site. However, the advocates of adding the link dispute the claim of consensus.

Please understand that I, the "anon" initiated this previous attempt at mediation and contacted Kelly Martin24.147.97.230 02:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Since a previous RFM has not resulted in a truce, I have no reason to believe that mediation will have any effect again.

A Request for Comments was posted about the conduct of the anonymous editors. Their response was to post a Request for Comments about my conduct. This does not seem to provide any evidence that they are willing to try to change their conduct.

Again, please understand the user Robert McClenon has posted the above mentioned RFC...as he has done to 3 other users in 30 days, his first 30 days at Wikipedia24.147.97.230 02:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This arbitration request is premature. The last step of dispute resolution should be a request for arbitration.  User:Robert_McClenon has, to date, refused to engage in mediation with User:24.147.97.230,. An attempt at mediation should always be made before it reaches this stage.--Agiantman 21:33, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Response to claim of premature arbitration request:
 * Mediation, as noted above and below, has been attempted. I see no reason to delay arbitration simply to permit another round of mediation, which I expect will not result in a compromise, to delay arbitration.
 * The above statement that the RfAr is premature is being filed by someone who is not a first, second, or third party to this proceeding at this time. I have stated that I am willing to go to mediation with Agiantman, but not with 24.147.97.230.  Robert McClenon 22:44, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Confirmation of Parties' Awareness

 * 1) Party 1 Robert McClenon 01:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Party 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:24.147.97.230&diff=21539886&oldid=21536212

Statement by involved third party
I was invited to mediate a dispute on this article related to the inclusion of a specific external link. However, I concluded that the dispute was not mediatable as there was no middle ground that the parties would consider acceptable. The parties were (understandably) unwilling to submit to third-party arbitration of the acceptability of the link. At that point, I listed the issue on RFC and a reasonably civil discussion ensued, in which a number of editors (all save one posting from anonymous addresses) argued in support of the link, and a number of established Wikipedians argued against inclusion of the link. At the point where it appeared to me that the discussion had terminated, I offered my opinion as to the apparent consensus of the Wikipedia community regarding the issue. At the time the lead anon advocating for this link (the only one with any significant edit history) appeared to accept that conclusion. I have not, however, continued to monitor the article after the point at which the dispute seemed to be resolved, nor have I monitored the editing of any of the parties on other related or unrelated articles.

It is my impression that the flock of anons are not sockpuppets of the lead anon, but instead distinct likeminded individuals acting at his direction or urging: this appears to be a "grassroots" effort to influence Wikipedia consensus rather than a single individual trying to appear to be more than one person. Kelly Martin 18:58, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Statement by jpgordon
I urge Arbcom to involve themselves in this case. Though it may seem like a simple content dispute, the intransigence of the "fatboy anon", which has led to Ted Kennedy being protected for much of the last several months, is a classic case of a user with no grasp whatsoever of Wikipedia principles of cooperation, NPOV, and simple honesty. The RFC on the anon makes it clear that he is willing to call in non-Wikipedians (I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that they are not outright sockpuppets) to stack the deck to make it appear that he has the support that in reality is almost completely missing; he simply refuses to accept that consensus is overwhelmingly against him, and instead insists on inserting exactly the same text that he has been trying to insert for months. Please help. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:58, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Expansion on statement
As the first party to this RfAr, I see an issue of whether Wikipedia can develop quality NPOV articles on controversial politicians and similar public figures. There is a consensus (in Wikipedia terms, which does not mean unanimity) on whether particular text should be included in full (that it should not) or abridged (that it should). The user in question then repeatedly refers to the removal of sections that are considered non-encyclopedic as vandalism. He then requests page protection against "vandalism", which has resulted in the article being page-protected at least three times, each time for more than a week. Robert McClenon 15:35, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

KHMX

KHMX (96.5 MHz, "Mix 96.5") is an American commercial hot adult contemporary radio station in Houston, Texas. It is owned by Audacy, Inc. and serves the Greater Houston metropolitan area. The KHMX studios are located in Houston's Greenway Plaza district, while the station transmitter is located in the Houston suburb of Missouri City. In addition to a standard analog transmission, KHMX broadcasts using HD Radio technology, and is available online via Audacy.

Early years
KXYZ-FM first signed on February 1, 1948, under the ownership of Shamrock Broadcasting. As typical of FM radio stations in the mid-20th century, KXYZ-FM was a simulcast of its AM parent, KXYZ. The station would stay on the air for five years and six months before being silent for about eight years, resuming operations in 1961, again as a simulcast of KXYZ's beautiful music format.

In 1968, KXYZ and KXYZ-FM were acquired by ABC; the new ownership subsequently changed KXYZ-FM's format to automated progressive rock, branded as "Love $100,000 watts$ FM". "Love" was formulated by ABC Radio for its FM stations around the U.S., including WABC-FM in New York City, KABC-FM in Los Angeles, WLS-FM in Chicago, KGO-FM in San Francisco, WXYZ-FM in Detroit and KQV-FM in Pittsburgh. All seven FM stations switch call signs to distinguish from their AM counterparts on switched to KAUM in January 1971. When the national "Love" format was discontinued later in 1971, the progressive rock music continued, but with local disc jockeys, changing its moniker to "KAUM $96 1/2$ FM". In the late 1970s, KAUM shifted from album-oriented rock (AOR) to Top 40 hits to compete against KRBE and KILT.

From July 24, 1980, through late 1986, the station operated as KSRR, first as "97 Star FM", and then again as "97 Rock." It had an album-oriented rock format, using the infamous slogan "Kick Ass Rock 'N' Roll!", and a logo similar to WABB in Mobile. The new station featured morning radio host and KEGL Dallas alum James Smith "Moby" Carney and Matthew, with Hannah Storm as sports announcer. The station competed against the album rock format of KLOL and for a short period, KILT-FM.

In mid-1985, due to the merger of ABC Radio and Capital Cities Communications, KSRR was spun off to Malrite Communications in order to meet the FCC's ownership limits at the time. On October 15, 1986, the station changed call letters to KKHT, and the AOR format was replaced by a Top 40 format known as "Hit 96.5 KKHT". By mid-1987, heavy competition from Top 40 powerhouses KKBQ-FM and KRBE prompted the station to morph to adult contemporary. The station rebranded as "96.5 KKHT". In late 1988, Emmis Broadcasting bought the station.

On February 10, 1989, at 6 p.m., the station flipped to a new rhythmic contemporary format, with a focus on dance-oriented music, branded as "Energy 96.5". The station adopted the new KNRJ call letters on September 4. This format was a competitive response to two other local stations, KKBQ and KRBE, whose Top 40 formats reflected the increasing presence of dance club-oriented tracks (catering to a then-lucrative target audience drawn to the flourishing night club scenes along Richmond Avenue and inner Westheimer Road). These competitors featured late-night, weekend live broadcasts from local dance clubs (e.g., Club 6400, The Ocean Club), where in-house DJs drew heavily from libraries of imported and small-label, extended-length modern tracks (which otherwise were seldom heard on most commercial stations). By early 1990, KNRJ had partnered with the Tower Theater's Decadance to host its own weekend, late-night live broadcast.

In May 1990, Nationwide Communications bought the station. The station's ratings during this time were low and the new owners wanted to improve the numbers. In the station's latter months, KNRJ began adding more new wave music tracks to improve ratings.

Mix 96.5
On June 25, 1990, at 7:15 a.m., in the middle of "Tonight" by New Kids on the Block, DJ Jeff Scott, in a bit, abruptly cut off the song and announced his discontent for the format, with he and some fellow DJs playing brief music clips to complain about before being heard throwing the tapes away. After that, KNRJ flipped to an alternative rock format. The station kicked off with "I Eat Cannibals" by Toto Coelo, starting off a "Top 100 Best Alternative Songs of All Time" countdown. The Alternative 96.5 re-brand was a transitional format, lasting roughly five weeks, and was promoted while a forthcoming format was under preparation. A weekly playlist, under a makeshift Alternative 96.5 letterhead, was distributed to local retail and media outlets.

Then, on July 18, KNRJ began stunting with a 48-hour ticking clock countdown sequence. A series of disjointed song samples were eventually interspersed into the sequence within the last 12 hours, most famously the opening to the song "Let It Whip" by The Dazz Band played first normally, then again in reverse. After the countdown concluded at 7 a.m. on July 20, a fictitious "teacher" conducted a "roll call" calling out the names of program directors from competing radio stations, asking the "class" to start their tape recorders and take notes as this "lecture" was to begin. At that moment, KNRJ's call letters switched to KHMX as the station changed formats to hot adult contemporary, branded as "Mix 96.5." The first two songs on "Mix" were Steve Winwood's "Roll With It" and Taylor Dayne's "I'll Be Your Shelter".

General Manager Clancy Woods and Nationwide National Program Director Guy Zapoleon used the roll out at KHMX to launch other new Hot AC stations, branded as the "Mix" format. The Mix brand tagline, "More Music, More Variety, A Better Mix", was commercially successful. The formula for the "Mix" format was replicated through the 1990s and early 2000s in several other radio markets across North America and in cities as far away as Sydney, Australia by KHMX consultant Alan Burns. Around the same time, research expert John Parikhal, who also worked with KHMX, was helping PD Greg Strassell of Steve Dodge's American Radio Systems in Boston launch another Mix station known as "Mix 98.5", WBMX. WBMX was more of a Rhythmic AC and an early example of today's MOViN' format. Another Mix station was launched a few months earlier in the Summer of 1989 at WOMX in Orlando by Nationwide Communications GM Rick Weinkoff and PD Brian Thomas, with help from Guy Zapoleon.

Nationwide sold all of its radio stations, including KHMX, to Jacor in October 1997. After a series of mergers, Clear Channel Communications acquired KHMX in early 1999. KHMX was broadcast nationwide on XM Satellite Radio from 2001 to the end of 2003, when a unique-to-XM Mix channel debuted.

On December 15, 2008, Clear Channel and CBS Radio announced a multi-station swap: KHMX and sister station KLOL would go to CBS Radio, while CBS Radio-owned stations WQSR in Baltimore, KBKS in Seattle, KLTH and KXJM in Portland, Oregon and KQJK in Sacramento would go to Clear Channel. The sale was approved on March 31, 2009, and was consummated on April 1. After the sale of the station to CBS in 2009, KHMX tweaked its sound to include more Top 40/CHR currents.

On February 2, 2017, CBS Radio announced it would merge with Entercom. The merger was approved on November 9, 2017, and was consummated on November 17.

Morning shows
During its tenure as "Mix", the station has rotated through several morning shows, including Roula & Ryan (now on KRBE) from 2003-2005, Sam Malone (formerly of KRBE) 2005-2007, Maria Todd (also formerly of KRBE) 2009-2011, The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show 2011-2012, Atom Smasher (also a KRBE alum) 2013-2015, and Dave, Mahoney & DK (formerly of sister KXTE/Las Vegas) 2015-2016.

Dave, Mahoney & DK were let go from the station in December 2016. On April 5, 2017, it was announced that "The Morning Mix" would become the new morning show on KHMX consisting of former KKHH host Sarah Pepper, along with afternoon host Lauren Kelly and Geoff Sheen, formerly of KTKR in San Antonio, which began on April 10, 2017. Lauren Kelly, however, left the station in 2019. Mornings are currently hosted by Pepper and Jessie Watt.

HD radio
KHMX signed on HD Radio operations in 2006. 96.5 HD2 first carried a rhythmic contemporary – dance music format, known as "Energy 96.5." Energy 96.5 was the moniker KHMX used prior to becoming "Mix" in 1990. After the sale of the station to CBS in April 2009, KHMX 96.5 HD2 and KKHH 95.7 HD2 swapped formats, with KHMX-HD2 becoming smooth jazz "The Wave", while KKHH-HD2 taking on the dance format and "Energy 95.7" moniker. "The Wave" would eventually evolve into a Smooth AC (a hybrid of Smooth Jazz and R&B music) format with an emphasis on Smooth Jazz.

In December 2016, "The Wave" moved to KHMX-HD3. After a brief run with an album adult alternative (AAA) format as "Third Rock Radio", and nearly a year of airing a message redirecting Smooth Jazz listeners to KHMX HD-3, the HD-2 re-launched as Hard Rock-formatted "HarD Rock Radio 96-5 HD-2" on November 20, 2017.

The HD subchannels have since been turned off.

Polycrates of Ephesus

Polycrates of Ephesus (Πολυκράτης; fl. c. 130 – 196) was an Early Christian bishop at Ephesus. Polycrates convened a synod to establish Quartodecimanism as the official position on Easter. His letter was written between 186-195 AD.

Quartodeciman controversy
When Pope Victor wanted to set an official practice of Easter on the whole Christian world, to celebrate Easter on Sunday, Polycrates writing in the name of the entire Asian church, argued that the apostles taught to celebrate the Passover (Holy Communion) on the 14th day of Nisan. In his letter, he appeals to the authority of Polycarp of Smyrna, Thraseas of Eumenia, Sagaris, Papirius and Melito, all of whom were Quartodecimans.

Despite Polycrates convening a synod in Ephesus to declare Quartodecimanism official, later the tradition died out, because Nicea declared Easter to be celebrated on a Sunday.

Nicolae (novel)

Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist is the third book in the Left Behind series. It was written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins in 1997 and was published on Wednesday, October 1, of that year. It takes place 18–21 months into the Great Tribulation.

Plot
The members of the Tribulation Force have discovered that their pastor, Bruce Barnes, has been killed during the bombing of a hospital in World War III. Rayford Steele is quickly called to meet Global Community Supreme Potentate and Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia in Dallas, Texas to fly him to New Babylon, Iraq. Meanwhile, Cameron "Buck" Williams and Chloe Steele go to New Hope Village Church to inform Loretta about Bruce. Chloe is in downtown Chicago, Illinois, when it is bombed by the Global Community. Buck is eventually able to rescue her after she crashed her Range Rover into a tree. Rayford hears about this and sends Amanda White back to Chicago to help them and to keep her safe because Nicolae was dropping bombs on major cities and he says to her, "If your flight doesn't leave before mine, board my flight", because Ray is piloting the flight that Nicolae is on. On the flight back to New Babylon, Rayford learns much about Nicolae's secret plans through a secret intercom device installed by his former boss at Pan-Continental Airlines, Earl Halliday. Rayford eventually arrives back in New Babylon.

Having heard from his friend Chaim Rosenzweig about Tsion Ben-Judah's loss of his wife and children to murder, Buck goes to Israel with charter pilot Ken Ritz. He is led by the two witnesses, Eli and Moishe in Jerusalem, to a boat near the Sea of Galilee. After proving that he is who he says he is, Buck is taken to the shelter where Tsion is hiding for his protection. Tsion has been accused of murdering his family, although he did not do so. Buck and Tsion are given a worn-out bus to drive to Egypt to meet Ritz for the escape to the United States. They meet many obstacles along the way, but are supernaturally protected and arrive in Chicago safely. During this time, Rayford meets with his friend Hattie Durham, and tries to discourage her from having an abortion of her baby that she conceived with Carpathia.

Because both Buck and Tsion are international fugitives, Rayford flies back to Chicago for the funeral service for Bruce. The service mainly consists of an evangelical message and predictions of what is to come, all outlined by Rayford himself. Rayford then returns to New Babylon to be joined by his wife later.

The stateside Tribulation Force meets Hattie Durham on her journey to see her relatives. After this, Amanda flies to New Babylon to join Rayford. Buck is driving to see Tsion at the hideout where he is when the worldwide earthquake predicted at the funeral begins. The sun goes dark, the moon turns blood-red, and meteors fall from the sky. A quarter of the world's population dies. Buck finds Tsion alive but trapped in the shelter. Condor 216 first officer Mac McCullum flies Carpathia and Rayford to Baghdad International Airport just as Global Community headquarters collapses. As the book ends, only Buck, Tsion, and Rayford are accounted for and safe among the Tribulation Force. Loretta is confirmed dead, while Chloe and Amanda are missing.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Regarding Ted Kennedy/Evidence

Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Please make a header for your evidence and sign your comments with your name.

When placing evidence here, please be considerate of the arbitrators and be concise. Long, rambling, or stream-of-conciousness rants are not helpful.

As such, it is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff; links to the page itself are not sufficient. For example, to cite the edit by Mennonot to the article Anomalous phenomenon adding a link to Hundredth Monkey use this form:.

This page is not for general discussion - for that, see talk page.

Please make a section for your evidence and add evidence only in your own section. Please limit your evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs, a much shorter, concise presentation is more likely to be effective. Please focus on the issues raised in the complaint and answer and on diffs which illustrate behavior which relates to the issues.

If you disagree with some evidence you see here, please cite the evidence in your own section and provide counter-evidence, or an explanation of why the evidence is misleading. Do not edit within the evidence section of any other user.

Be aware that the Arbitrators may at times rework this page to try to make it more coherent. If you are a participant in the case or a third party, please don't try to refactor the page, let the Arbitrators do it. If you object to evidence which is inserted by other participants or third parties please cite the evidence and voice your objections within your own section of the page. It is especially important to not remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, please leave it for the arbitrators to move.

The Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies voting by Arbitrators takes place at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators may edit /Proposed decision.

Summary of content issues

Judgment by editors in encyclopedias
In the development of an encyclopedia, decisions as to what material is appropriate for inclusion in any particular article within the encyclopedia requires judgment by the editors.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:

 * Comment by others:

Consensus
It is the policy of Wikipedia that issues as to content should normally be determined by editorial consensus. Although one dictionary definition of consensus is unanimous agreement, that is not the usage of the term in Wikipedia. Consensus has never been understood in Wikipedia to mandate unanimous agreement.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by others:

No personal attacks
Personal attacks by editors against other editors are not permitted in Wikipedia. Insulting or hostile edit summaries may be personal attacks.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:

 * Comment by others:

Vandalism
Unwarranted allegations of vandalism are personal attacks. Deletion of material that is the subject of a content dispute as to relevance is not vandalism.

Sockpuppets
The use of sockpuppets, while not normally prohibited, is discouraged. The use of sockpuppets to create the appearance of consensus is strongly discouraged.

 * I am not convinced that the multiple IPs represent sockpuppets. I suspect, rather, that they are meatpuppets: people mobilized to act on behalf of another through an external forum.  Kelly Martin 22:31, 17 October 2005 (UTC) (recused on this case)
 * Why is any suspicion necessary? Just see Requests for comment/24.147.97.230, where the anon explicitly invites his friends (none of whom ahve ever edited Wikipedia before) to come in and vote on his RFC. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 15:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Meatpuppets
The Arbitration Committee has ruled in the past that it is not always necessary to determine whether accounts or IP addresses with no editorial history in Wikipedia that appear to be sockpuppets are in fact sockpuppets or are persons recruited to maintain the appearance of consensus or to game the system. Such accounts or IP addresses, known as meatpuppets, are sometimes treated in the same way as actual sockpuppets.

Gaming the system
The use of sockpuppets to "game the system" to evade Wikipedia policy, such as the 3RR rule, is not permitted.

 * Comment by others:

Anonymous editing
Wikipedia has a tradition of allowing "anonymous" editing from IP addresses, but also has a tradition of encouraging editors to create user accounts. In some situations, such as determining consensus, user accounts are given more weight than IP addresses.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by others:

Habitually disruptive editors
The ArbCom has the duty when necessary to identify habitually disruptive editors, such as those who engage in personal attacks and show disrespect for consensus, and to take measures to minimize their impact on Wikipedia.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:

 * Comment by others:

Need to re-open cases involving multiple editors
Some arbitration cases involving user conduct violations with respect to particular articles or topics may not initially identify all of the disruptive editors against whom action must be taken. In such cases, the ArbCom may have a duty to re-open the case after it is closed in order to include additional editors.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:

 * Comment by others:

Bans and anonymous editors
Bans, either for a period of time or indefinitely, are a remedy for habitually disruptive behavior by editors with user accounts. Bans are not an appropriate remedy for abusive behavior from IP addresses. In cases of habitually disruptive behavior by anonymous editors, the ArbCom has the duty to devise some other appropriate remedy.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:

 * Comment by others:

Prohibitions against anonymous editing of certain articles
The ArbCom may impose a prohibition against anonymous editing of articles that have been repeatedly disrupted by anonymous editors. This prohibition may be imposed for a period of time or indefinitely.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:
 * This action has not, to the best of my knowledge, been previously taken. Acceptance of this statement of principle would create the precedent.  I researched previous ArbCom rulings and did not find any case involving a pattern of disruptive and abusive behavior by anons, and so did not find any case where a reasonable remedy had been devised.

 * I looked for one and I think there's one somewhere but I couldn't find a precedent for this. Jtkiefer T  07:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I think a better choice than this might be certain editors are required to log in to edit certain articles and they may be blocked if it is found that they are puposefully (purposefully should be included since people do many times accidentally get logged out) editing while logged out to hide their edits.

Evading 3RR
During content disputes concerning the Ted Kennedy and Rosemary Kennedy articles, the ArbCom finds that there was a pattern of the use of multiple anonymous IP addresses to evade the 3RR rule.

 * This is quite probably false, given that the multiple anon IPs are probably meatpuppets instead of sockpuppets. Kelly Martin 17:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC) (recused)
 * What information is this based upon? All we know for fact is that the anon IP recruited meatpuppets who used named accounts; where's the evaluation of other anon IPs that seem to be socks? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 19:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Evading 3RR on 22 September
During a content dispute on 22 September, in particular, the ArbCom finds that there was a pattern of the use either of sockpuppets or of meatpuppets to evade the 3RR rule.

 * The use of meatpuppets to "evade" 3RR is not prohibited by policy. Kelly Martin 19:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC) (recused)

Specific sockpuppets
The ArbCom finds in particular that the users Labgal and FishingGuy99 were used as sockpuppets on 22 September, based on the fact that the timing of the use of these two accounts, previously used only once, is such that it would have been unlikely that meatpuppets could have been requested to comment so quickly.

Anonymous editing of articles on the Kennedy family forbidden
Anonymous editing of articles on Ted Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy, and any other members of the Kennedy family is prohibited indefinitely.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:
 * Absolutely not, as per jpgordon and 69.117.6.210, and also because anonymous editors are not second-class citizens. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 13:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I think this is not a good idea; it punishes the entire class of anonymous editors because of the bad actions of a single editor. It's killing a fly with a hand grenade. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I believe this specific proposal to be overblown - if it were applied, it would mean that even minor "formatting" edits (which I frequently do on various articles) would be outlawed - definitely NOT a good idea! I believe a better idea would be to simply place the Kennedy pages on patrol - and any anonymous IP that triggers an uproar would be blocked accordingly. --69.117.6.210 21:58, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems like a really bad idea, because it would not only be difficult to enforce since it would mean having to revert every single IP address edit to the article and it would also treat logged out editors unfairly just for not having an account which is against the wikipedia philosophy.

Anonymous reverts on the Kennedy family restricted
All anonymous reverts to articles on Ted Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy, and any other members of the Kennedy family are limited to two reverts in 24 hours. For enforcement of this rule, all anonymous edits shall be considered to be made by the same user.
 * Comment by Arbitrators:
 * No; this treats all anonymous editors as second-class citizens; a more narrow remedy is needed. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 13:34, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Possible Re-Opening of Case
The ArbCom may re-open this case at any time in order to consider remedies against any additional identified editors or anonymous editors.

 * Comment by Arbitrators:

 * Comment by parties:
 * Due to the large number of anonymous users who were involved in this episode, and the difficulty of determining whether they were sockpuppets (violating 3RR) or meatpuppets (not violating 3RR), it may not be feasible to frame all of the remedies at this time. It may be necessary to re-open this case in the future to add other editors.  Robert McClenon 21:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Administrative blocks
Any administrator may block any IP address for a period of time from which edits are being made anonymously to the Kennedy articles. Such a block should normally be initially for 24 hours.

List of Olympic medalists in gymnastics (women)

This is the complete list of women's Olympic medalists in gymnastics.

All-around, team
Note: The International Gymnastics Federation recommended to the IOC that the medals of the Chinese team be stripped, and awarded to the fourth-placed United States team, as it was revealed that Dong Fangxiao was underage (14, with age limit >16) at the time. The IOC upheld the FIG decision in April 2010.
