GizzyCatBella quickly deleted this statement from talk;"They refuse to stop editing Wikipedia, is evidence that they're completely" invested in the topic in question.
--You would think that recusing oneself from editing during an enforcement action (ANI or arbitration) would be a matter of stated policy and process.Please consider abstaining from a wide variety of topics
Without alleging any wrongdoing on your part;
If you care about perception (how you are perceived), or the platform, please consider abstaining from editing a wide variety of topics especially those which have generated outside perceptions of wrongdoing. Let the arbitration committee do its work while maintaining the moral high ground by recusing yourself from topics of sensitivity.
--The Wikipedia culture is so toxic folks just cannot back down from a fight, backing down is an admission of guilt
--The issue at stake is "conflict of interest" not "diffs" (he said she said), the arbitration committee refused to acknowledge conflict of interest in the form of narrative framing..they are missing the keystone-point of the problem at hand
So here is a constructive open letter.. to our readers, the Arbitration Committee, and the press
Dear Members of the Arbitration Committee of Wikipedia,
I am writing to urge you to consider implementing a policy requiring editors involved in pending Arbitration proceedings or controversies to recuse themselves. As you are well aware, the arbitration committee is responsible for resolving disputes between editors, as well as enforcing Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In order to ensure a fair and impartial process, it is crucial to address potential conflicts of interest or bias among editors involved in disputes.
Firstly, conflicts of interest can arise when an editor has a personal stake in the outcome of a dispute. For instance, an editor who works for a company may have a bias towards their employer's interests in editing an article about that company. This can lead to edits that are not neutral or unbiased, and can undermine the credibility of the information presented on Wikipedia.
Secondly, editors who are involved in disputes may have pre-existing biases or animosity towards one of the parties involved. This could be based on personal relationships, political or ideological views, or other factors. As a result, their editing may be biased towards one side of the dispute, rather than being based on impartial analysis of the facts.
Lastly, even if an editor is not actually biased or conflicted, their involvement in a dispute may create an appearance of impropriety. This can damage Wikipedia's credibility and reputation as a reliable source of information. Recusal can help to avoid this perception.
In light of these concerns, I believe that it is important for the arbitration committee to require editors involved in controversies to recuse themselves. Doing so can help to ensure that disputes are resolved fairly and impartially, while also maintaining Wikipedia's reputation as a reliable source of information. I urge you to consider this policy as part of your ongoing efforts to enforce Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
