====SageRad==== |
|||
2) {{userlinks|SageRad}} joined Wikipedia in May 2014 but did not start actively editing until May 2015. He has made approximately 1,600 edits (as of 30 Sep 2015), [https://tools.wmflabs.org/dewkin/SageRad@enwiki breakdown by namespace]. His most edited articles are {{la|Glyphosate}} and {{la|Polychlorinated biphenyl}}. Many edits to non-GMO articles also include content related to the GMO series of articles (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Housatonic_River&diff=prev&oldid=682780630 PCBs in Housatonic River], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lenox,_Massachusetts&diff=prev&oldid=682778299 PCBs in Lenox, Massachusetts], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crop_desiccation&diff=prev&oldid=666042885 glyphosate in Crop desiccation]. |
|||
SageRad [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:David_Gorski&diff=663526098&oldid=663525158 provided evidence] that he is engaged in off-wiki anti-GMO advocacy. Based on the dispute he linked, he made inappropriate edits to {{la|David Gorski}}, a [[WP:BLP]] (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Gorski&type=revision&diff=663023838&oldid=663019580]). |
|||
SageRad [[WP:ABF|assumes bad faith]] on the part of those promoting the dominant scientific view in respect of GMOs and glyphosate, for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ASageRad&type=revision&diff=683188209&oldid=682167537 stating on his user page] that: " as of late, there has been such a horrible level of vitriol and emotionally abusive dialogue, and lack of ethics and integrity on the part of an apparent gang of editors whose edits appear to be remarkably aligned with the interests of the chemical industry, that it's become clear to me that there is heavy POV pushing in the chemical industry area and Wikipedia does not currently have integrity in the articles in those areas due to being effectively captured by the chemical posse." This is an example of the "shill gambit", a tendency among advocates of certain points of view to falsely assume that all contrary views are (a) homogeneous and (b) motivated by conflicts of interest. SageRad has provided no evidence to back the implicit claim of conflict of interest. This extends to comments such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kevin_Folta&diff=682293181&oldid=682292308], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kevin_Folta&diff=681189566&oldid=681189292]. |

====Jytdog==== |
|||
3) {{userlinks|Jytdog}} joined Wikipedia in January 2008 and has made approximately 55,000 edits (as of 30 Sep 2015), [https://tools.wmflabs.org/dewkin/Jytdog@enwiki breakdown by namespace]. His most-edited articles are mainly related to GMOs, including [[Genetically modified food controversies]], [[Monsanto]], [[Glyphosate]], [[Genetically modified food]], [[Genetically modified crops]], [[Genetically modified organism]]. These edits support the mainstream view of GMOs. Some (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_food_controversies&diff=679481825&oldid=679480987], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_food&diff=prev&oldid=678655155]) include [[Framing effect (psychology)|framing]] language. Some (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glyphosate&diff=prev&oldid=678922338], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glyphosate&diff=prev&oldid=678922518], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glyphosate&diff=prev&oldid=678942448]) reduce the prominence of claimed health effects. However, some edits (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_organism&diff=prev&oldid=680910529], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_bird&diff=prev&oldid=679349377]) remove positive material. |
|||
Before Jytdog's edits, the article on Monsanto was strongly slanted towards an anti-GMO perspective ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monsanto&oldid=501519429#Genetically_modified_organisms permalink]). |
|||
Jytdog has been the initiator or subject of a significant number of discussions at the "drama boards": [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Jytdog&prefix=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27+noticeboard&fulltext=Search&fulltext=Search search of AN and sub-pages]. He has a clean block log and the discussions, initiated both by and against Jytdog, are typically closed as lacking merit (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive885#Jytdog_needs_administrator_intervention.2C_please.3F], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive882#User:Jytdog], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive270#Request_review_of_closure_of_ANI_against_Jytdog]), other than in the matter of civility, in which he is may be found wanting (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive879#Jytdog:_Protracted_uncivility_and_harrassment], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive895#Would_like_Jytdog_to_leave_me_alone]). Jytdog could be fairly characterised as argumentative and assertive to the point of being perceived as aggressive. The cast of characters in these disputes includes, but is not restricted to, the parties in this case. His edit summaries can be combative (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_food_controversies&diff=prev&oldid=679480756], which was a replay of an earlier edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_food_controversies&diff=prev&oldid=679480584] which was self-reverted in order to make the combative summary more explicit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genetically_modified_food_controversies&diff=prev&oldid=679480689]). |
|||
Jytdog frequently reverts edits which have an unfavourable slant towards GMOs and the related companies and individuals (e.g. {[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=S%C3%A9ralini_affair&diff=prev&oldid=679784116], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=S%C3%A9ralini_affair&diff=prev&oldid=679785023], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=S%C3%A9ralini_affair&diff=prev&oldid=679785619] 3 revert set}, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=S%C3%A9ralini_affair&diff=prev&oldid=678726970], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pharming_(genetics)&diff=prev&oldid=678287995]). Many of these reverts (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pharming_(genetics)&diff=prev&oldid=678287995]) are unambiguously correct. |

Purpose of the workshop: The case Workshop exists so that parties to the case, other interested members of the community, and members of the Arbitration Committee can post possible components of the final decision for review and comment by others. Components proposed here may be general principles of site policy and procedure, findings of fact about the dispute, remedies to resolve the dispute, and arrangements for remedy enforcement. These are the four types of proposals that can be included in committee final decisions. There are also sections for analysis of /Evidence, and for general discussion of the case. Any user may edit this workshop page; please sign all posts and proposals. Arbitrators will place components they wish to propose be adopted into the final decision on the /Proposed decision page. Only Arbitrators and clerks may edit that page, for voting, clarification as well as implementation purposes.
Behaviour on this page: Arbitration case pages exist to assist the Arbitration Committee in arriving at fair, well-informed decisions. You are required to act with appropriate decorum during this case. While grievances must often be aired during a case, you are expected to air them without being rude or hostile, and to respond calmly to allegations against you. Accusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all). Editors who conduct themselves inappropriately during a case may be sanctioned by an arbitrator or clerk, without further warning, by being banned from further participation in the case, or being blocked altogether. Behavior during a case may be considered by the committee in arriving at a final decision.

Proposed temporary injunctions
1) Anyone can feel free to change the heading of this, of course, if it actually is as incompetent as I think it probably is. But there is at present a discussion involving at least one of the parties of the case, as well as other editors who have filed comments, at Talk:Vani Hari and WP:ANI#SageRad and, for all I know, other related discussions as well. Any chance of getting some sort of temporary stop to them so that those involved don't have to divide the amount of time they might give to the case? John Carter (talk) 21:50, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment by Arbitrators:
- Comment by parties:
1) While I would agree with John Carter on temporary injunctions regarding any conversations related to this topic and involving the named parties - such discussions need to be part of this case - we're going to have to decide A) scope of this case, and B) what to do when parties not involved in this case continue to make edits that are relevant. Regarding A), it could be argued that Vani Hari, Tyrone Hayes, etc. are out of scope as they are broader than "Genetically modified organisms" would suggest. Alternatively, perhaps the title "Genetically modified organisms and food safety" would be a better fit for this case, which (I would argue) brings those pages in scope. Regarding B), other than the rather draconian suggestion of locking all related pages until this case is decided, which I would not support, I have no suggestions. I merely will point out the high likelihood than involved parties will "go at it" again if uninvolved parties make edits. Jtrevor99 (talk) 22:06, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment by others:
Discretionary sanctions
1) Standard discretionary sanctions are authorised for all pages relating to genetically modified organisms and agricultural biotechnology, broadly interpreted, for as long as this arbitration case remains open. Any uninvolved administrator may levy restrictions as an arbitration enforcement action on users editing in this topic area, after an initial warning.

- Proposed, as a way to keep things under control during the case. The plethora of disputes that have erupted during the time before the case was opened indicate that this is needed. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:08, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- I very much support the better phrased version here, and offer Tryptofish my thanks for doing a better job than I did. John Carter (talk) 22:12, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. My wording is merely copied verbatim from previous decisions. I think your proposal above was aimed, instead, at closing redundant discussions at other noticeboards, but I think that they are already being closed. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:15, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

SageRad
2) SageRad (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) joined Wikipedia in May 2014 but did not start actively editing until May 2015. He has made approximately 1,600 edits (as of 30 Sep 2015), breakdown by namespace. His most edited articles are Glyphosate (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Polychlorinated biphenyl (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Many edits to non-GMO articles also include content related to the GMO series of articles (e.g. PCBs in Housatonic River, PCBs in Lenox, Massachusetts, glyphosate in Crop desiccation.
SageRad provided evidence that he is engaged in off-wiki anti-GMO advocacy. Based on the dispute he linked, he made inappropriate edits to David Gorski (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), a WP:BLP (e.g. [1]).
SageRad assumes bad faith on the part of those promoting the dominant scientific view in respect of GMOs and glyphosate, for example stating on his user page that: " as of late, there has been such a horrible level of vitriol and emotionally abusive dialogue, and lack of ethics and integrity on the part of an apparent gang of editors whose edits appear to be remarkably aligned with the interests of the chemical industry, that it's become clear to me that there is heavy POV pushing in the chemical industry area and Wikipedia does not currently have integrity in the articles in those areas due to being effectively captured by the chemical posse." This is an example of the "shill gambit", a tendency among advocates of certain points of view to falsely assume that all contrary views are (a) homogeneous and (b) motivated by conflicts of interest. SageRad has provided no evidence to back the implicit claim of conflict of interest. This extends to comments such as [2], [3].

Jytdog
3) Jytdog (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) joined Wikipedia in January 2008 and has made approximately 55,000 edits (as of 30 Sep 2015), breakdown by namespace. His most-edited articles are mainly related to GMOs, including Genetically modified food controversies, Monsanto, Glyphosate, Genetically modified food, Genetically modified crops, Genetically modified organism. These edits support the mainstream view of GMOs. Some (e.g. [4], [5]) include framing language. Some (e.g. [6], [7], [8]) reduce the prominence of claimed health effects. However, some edits (e.g. [9], [10]) remove positive material.
Before Jytdog's edits, the article on Monsanto was strongly slanted towards an anti-GMO perspective (permalink).
Jytdog has been the initiator or subject of a significant number of discussions at the "drama boards": search of AN and sub-pages. He has a clean block log and the discussions, initiated both by and against Jytdog, are typically closed as lacking merit (e.g. [11], [12], [13]), other than in the matter of civility, in which he is may be found wanting (e.g. [14], [15]). Jytdog could be fairly characterised as argumentative and assertive to the point of being perceived as aggressive. The cast of characters in these disputes includes, but is not restricted to, the parties in this case. His edit summaries can be combative (e.g. [16], which was a replay of an earlier edit [17] which was self-reverted in order to make the combative summary more explicit [18]).
Jytdog frequently reverts edits which have an unfavourable slant towards GMOs and the related companies and individuals (e.g. {[19], [20], [21] 3 revert set}, [22], [23]). Many of these reverts (e.g. [24]) are unambiguously correct.
