Publish private emails without permission again like you did at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions and you'll find yourself blocked, for a very considerable period of time. Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 13:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

How typical of your arrogance. Based on which Wikipedia policy would this block occur? 08:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Tennis expert (talk)

It would occur based on this principle from the Arbitration Committee. Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 08:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

As a former arbitration clerk, I would have thought you were aware that past arbitration decisions are of no precedential value. Try again. Cite the policy if you can. Tennis expert (talk) 08:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Nah, that's good enough. The Arbitration Committee have said that emails shouldn't be published without permission from the sender (there's also a copyright issue involved as the person that sent the email still holds the copyright) so I'm more than happy to act on the basis of that. Ryan Postlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 10:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Given your response, you clearly know virtually nothing about copyright law or about Wikipedia arbitration. But lack of knowledge certainly hasn't stopped you from acting rashly in the past. Tennis expert (talk) 23:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

In the recent second Macedonia case, to which I was a party, a user was admonished for having posted an email from another user. That demonstrates pretty clearly that the committee is still actively enforcing this rule, whether you agree with it or not, and whether it's clearly written as policy or not (incidentally, the best wording I've found is here). I'm afraid your assertion that Ryan's been rash is contradicted by the facts. It's really just basic netiquette not to post private correspondence without permission, anyway.

Arbitration motion regarding Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Date delinking

Per a motion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment:

Having considered all the requests for amendment and requests for clarification submitted following the decision in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Date delinking, the Arbitration Committee decides as follows:

(1) All remedies in the decision providing that a specified user is topic-banned from editing or discussing "style and editing guidelines" (or similar wording) are modified by replacing these words with the words "style and editing guidelines relating to the linking or unlinking of dates";

(2) All remedies in the decision providing that a specified user is "prohibited from reversion of changes which are principally stylistic, except where all style elements are prescribed in the applicable style guideline" are modified by replacing these words with the words "prohibited from reverting the linking or unlinking of dates";

(3) All editors whose restrictions are being narrowed are reminded to abide by all applicable policies and guidelines in their editing, so that further controversies such as the one that led to the arbitration case will not arise, and any disagreements concerning style guidelines can be addressed in a civil and efficient fashion;

(4) Any party who believes the Date delinking decision should be further amended may file a new request for amendment. To allow time to evaluate the effect of the amendments already made, editors are asked to wait at least 30 days after this motion is passed before submitting any further amendment requests.

citation not needed

Regarding your March 16, 2009 edit to Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority, where you added a "citation needed" tag... let me quote one of the citations provided from that very same sentence:

“ Capital Metro created StarTran to harmonize federal law requiring Capital Metro to continue collective bargaining, see Fed. Transit Act, 49 U.S.C. § 5300 et seq., with Texas law that prohibits governmental entities from entering collective bargaining agreements, see Tex. Code Ann. § 617.003 (Vernon 2004). ”

In other words, there already is a citation for the "Texas law prohibits collective bargaining by public employees" bit, despite your tagging to the contrary. As such, I've removed the "citation needed" tag TerraFrost (talk) 18:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
