Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/HistoryBuffEr and Jayjg

I think that since HistoryBuffEr and Alberuni have reached Wikipedia, the atmosphere has become significantly worse, and this is flowing over to other areas of Wikipedia. Personally I find myself writing talk responses that are too short or even blunt, then stopping myself in midsentence saying hey, this guy isn't HistoryBuffEr, and rewritting. And I see this pattern of lack of patience and disrespect in other Wikipedians. As a result we had a number of aggressive newbies in other areas (User:Melamed, User:CheeseDreams, User:ranamim). They see and they learn. This must be stopped now, the danger is imminent. I suggest that as a temporary injunction, everyone involved in this dispute (me included, of course) would receive a three revert rule parole (and possibly a civility parole).

I strongly second this. After dealing with User:Alberuni for an extended period of time, I found myself beggining to utilize the sort of drivel that he has. I have since terminated any communication with him until he learns to speak courteously, so that I will not be affected by him.--Josiah 16:13, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Frankly, I have borne the brunt of their incivility, and have also been affected negatively as you both describe. I hadn't noticed the pattern, but now that I see it it is troubling. However, I don't understand how these paroles would work? Jayjg 17:03, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Jayjg, do you mean technically or how will they help? Gady 17:36, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Both, actually. Jayjg 17:41, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Well, it was a swallow question I guess. I never saw a prole in action and I don't know if it helps or not. But at least it would send a clear signal that the situation is serious. Gady 17:45, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In the initial complaint a couple of the Arbitrators mentioned injunctions. I'm not sure what they are or how they work, but I'll try to find out more. Jayjg 15:57, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
