My block unblock On the current arb case there is a proposed decision dealing with myself at Wikipedia Arbitration Requests Case Eastern European mailing list Proposed decision Russavia It appears that several arbs have asked for another proposal to be put forward which I have done at Wikipedia Arbitration Requests Case Eastern European mailing list Workshop Editing restrictions proposal I don t know if they are aware of this proposal or not I have another issue that being my indef block which was put on myself for a perceived legal threat This has been mentioned at Wikipedia talk Arbitration Requests Case Eastern European mailing list Proposed decision On Russavia and it has also been mentioned there and on the proposed decision case page that WP NLT should be dealt with as per that policy I have dealt with on the PD talk page and also on my talk page at User talk Russavia Alleged legal threats issued by myself and unblock request as per WP NLT It should be mentioned that my indef block was not as a result of any arbcom enforcement nor as a result of a community supported ban but as a result of the perceived legal threat The indef ban was lifted so that I could participate in the Arbcom proceedings but at that stage WP NLT had not been dealt with to the satisfication of the blocking admin Anyway I would like to seek some clarification from you at the clerk for this case as to what I would need to do in order to have the indef block officially lifted so to speak so that I can return to editing within the confines of the topic ban handed down by Sandstein Your advice is appreciated Dialogue Given the Committee didn t pass that temporary injunction I d suggest that you are still under the restrictions set down as part of the unblock to participate in the RfAr When the case closes I expect the Committee will deal with your blocking unblocking in some way in the final decision depending on what the final decision is in this regard there are an infinite number of possibilities you we can re evaluate the best course of action at that point The only way to have the conditions on the unblock lifted before the final decision would be to appeal to the Community and get consensus to overturn the block I doubt that this would be successful given the parallel arbitration proceedings as most Wikipedians will likely say just see what ArbCom decides then play it from there My 0 02 Regards Thanks for your reply Daniel its appreciated As you can understand I am in a state of purgatory at the moment not really knowing what may come and whether the committee will indeed address this as several arbs have already stated their opinion that cases of WP NLT should be addressed by the community Given that WP DIGWUREN took some 3 months to reach a conclusion and other cases can take longer I would hate for this case to take that long only for committee to turn my indef block back to the community As I am a content creation driven editor you can probably understand that this is less like purgatory and more like hell Do you think it may be possible to seek clarification from the Committee if the issue of my indef block for WP NLT will be dealt with by them or not If not I would expect this would free me up to take the issue to the community via an avenue such as WP AN in order to allow me to continue editing under the confines of the topic ban imposed by another admin with that perhaps being addressed by Arbcom the topic ban Sorry for being a pain in the arse but hopefully you understand my predicament and hence why I think it would need clarification from the Committee as to whether it will or won t be addressed As you are the clerk might you be so kind as to seek clarification for me if you don t mind of course Also my apologies for bringing this to your talk page as I am totally new to Arbcom proceedings hoping this will be my one and only involvement in one I am somewhat bamboozled at to where to ask for clarification on the case pages it is a dog s breakfast that is for sure Dialogue Not at all no need to apologise I will certainly pursue a line of inquisition with the Committee about what they recommend you do and what their intended course of action is on the issue if you haven t heard back from me by Monday please ping me again the weekend is normally rather busy for me so if it s not sorted and I haven t got an answer from the relevant Committee members by then I ll probably be unable to progress the issue though Friday night Saturday Sunday
