Notice of Arbitration Committee Decision

This article was the subject of a recent Arbitration Committee case and decision. The complete text of the decision can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Derek Smart.

The Arbitration Committee imposed the following remedies:

• Limitation on reverts by single-purpose accounts: For a period of six months, ending September 2, 2007, no single-purpose account may revert any edit made to the Derek Smart article. Any single-purpose account which performs such a revert may be kindly informed of this restriction and given the opportunity either to lay out their concerns on the article's discussion page or to e-mail the volunteers who deal with requests from article subjects. Any editor so informed who continues to revert the article may be blocked at the discretion of any administrator. All blocks to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Derek Smart#Log of blocks and bans.
  • Editors are encouraged to use judgment and discretion in enforcement of this remedy, rather than implementing it in a mechanical fashion. The Committee would prefer that Wikipedians who have already had significant involvement in the development of the article leave enforcement of this remedy to their peers.
  • Although the decision mentions certain editors identified as single-purpose accounts, identification of which accounts are SPAs at a given time is often a matter of administrator discretion.
• Article cleanup: This article is urgently referred to the Wikipedia editing community at large for cleanup, evaluation of sources, and adherence to NPOV.
• BLP policy compliance: Any user may fully apply the principles and practices of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to Derek Smart. This may include deletion of the article and its history as well as its talk pages and archives and the project pages and talk pages of this Arbitration proceeding. (Please consult with the Arbitration Committee Clerks before editing or deleting any arbitration pages). Newyorkbrad 00:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

"Smart has worked with various publishers over the years, including industry powerhouse Take 2 Interactive, which released his first game Battlecruiser 3000AD in 2006 and which was listed in their SEC filing when they went public in 1997." I'm pretty sure the 2006 should actually by 1996. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.55.160 (talk) 23:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
