Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Axon

Please do not edit this page directly unless you wish to become a participant in this case; editing this page implicitly authorizes the other participants to enter a complaint against you which may be considered by the Arbitrators as may your behavior. Comments are very welcome on the Talk page, and will be read, in full. Evidence, no matter who can provide it, is very welcome at /Evidence. Evidence is more useful than comments.

Arbitrators will be working on a proposed decision at /Proposed decision.

User:Axon, respondent

Statement of complaint

• User Axon has been very persistent in adding POV to article Open gaming. This has been going on for months, and no end is in sight.
• User Axon has repeatedly edited comments of other wikipedians on the Talk:Open gaming page, deleting anyone's comments he does not like, and re-arranging other people's comments to put his own scurrilous (and irrelevant) allegations at the top of the page. It has been pointed out to him that this is not appropriate, but he has vowed to continue doing so. This is not the first Talk page on which he has taken upon himself the role of censor -- he did the same thing during a Request For Deletion last year (that page was deleted, so I have no wiki link to demonstrate the history of vandalism).
• Attempts to discuss the matter have been ignored. A community survey has been ignored. A request for mediation has been ignored. Arbitration appears to be the only remaining recourse. I am sorry: I would not take this step if there were any other option left, but his persistence has proven that this is not simply a mistake or a misunderstanding -- this is deliberate, premeditated vandalism, and it needs to stop. -- Bblackmoor 06:20, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Evidence has been added to the /Evidence page. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. -- Bblackmoor 14:45, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
