Thank you very much. I was and am active in the German Wikipedia, so not all is new to me. I like that the english Wikipedia is much more civil than the German! Derflipper (talk) 06:40, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Talk:Scientology edit

Ich verstehe nicht, Ihre Kommentare über die Scientologie-Artikel; Sie sich nicht, weil damit klar ist, wie es ist defekt. Wenn meine deutsche Sprache besser war, würde ich Blick auf die gleichen Artikel über die deutsche Wikipedia um zu sehen die Unterschiede. Inzwischen habe ich eingeladen Ihre Kommentare. Grüße. --Rodhullandemu 22:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Der Artikel über Scientology hat kein Konzept und ist verwirrend. The english scientology article does not flow and is confusing. That's my point. Derflipper (talk) 22:47, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK, the article is meant meant to be a description, and there is a lot of material to be described. How to arrange all of that remains open to discussion. There are already several spin-off articles, and if you would like to suggest how topics can be further moved to such articles, please feel free to do so. Having said that, my experience is that major changes tend to attract unnecessary conflict; it's up to you to make suggestions. Grüße. --Rodhullandemu 22:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Just did that in the article discussion. Check it out. Derflipper (talk) 23:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Scientology edit

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following editors are subjected to bans/topic-bans/restrictions as listed below :

#Editors marked in * have since contacted the Committee.

Any editor who is subject to remedies in this proceeding, or who wishes to edit from an open proxy, is restricted to a single current or future account to edit Scientology-related topics and may not contribute to the topic as anonymous IP editors. Editors topic banned by remedies in this proceeding are prohibited (i) from editing articles related to Scientology or Scientologists, broadly defined, as well as the respective article talk pages and (ii) from participating in any Wikipedia process relating to those articles. Editors topic banned above may apply to have the topic ban lifted after demonstrating their commitment to the goals of Wikipedia and their ability to work constructively with other editors. Applications will be considered no earlier than six months after the close of this case, and additional reviews will be done no more frequently than every six months thereafter.

Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, ban any editor from editing within the Scientology topic. Prior to topic banning the editor, the administrator will leave a message on the editor's talk page, linking to this paragraph, warning the editor that a topic ban is contemplated and outlining the behaviours for which it is contemplated. If the editor fails to heed the warning, the editor may be topic banned, initially, for three months, then with additional topic bans increasing in duration to a maximum of one year. Any editor who, in the judgment of an uninvolved administrator, is (i) focused primarily on Scientology or Scientologists and (ii) clearly engaged in promoting an identifiable agenda may be topic-banned for up to one year.

All IP addresses owned or operated by the Church of Scientology and its associates, broadly interpreted, are to be blocked as if they were open proxies. Any current or future editor who, after this decision is announced, makes substantial edits to any Scientology-related articles or discussions on any page is directed to edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account, unless the user has previously sought and obtained permission from the Arbitration Committee to operate a legitimate second account. They shall edit in accordance to Wikipedia policies and refrain from advocacy, to disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page, and not through a proxy configuration.
