{{notice|Create your own section to provide evidence in, and do not edit anyone else's section. Keep your evidence to a maximum of 1000 words and 100 diffs. Evidence longer than this will be refactored or removed entirely.}}
Anyone, whether directly involved or not, may add evidence to this page. Create your own section and do not edit in anybody else's section. Please limit your main evidence to a maximum 1000 words and 100 diffs and keep responses to other evidence as short as possible. A short, concise presentation will be more effective; posting evidence longer than 1000 words will not help you make your point. Over-long evidence that is not exceptionally easy to understand (like tables) will be trimmed to size or, in extreme cases, simply removed by the Clerks without warning - this could result in your important points being lost, so don't let it happen. Stay focused on the issues raised in the initial statements and on diffs which illustrate relevant behavior.
It is extremely important that you use the prescribed format. Submitted evidence should include a link to the actual page diff in question, or to a short page section; links to the page itself are insufficient. Never link to a page history, an editor's contributions, or a log for all actions of an editor (as those will have changed by the time people click on your links), although a link to a log for a specific article or a specific block log can be useful. Please make sure any page section links are permanent. See simple diff and link guide.
This page is not for general discussion - for that, see the talk page. If you think another editor's evidence is a misrepresentation of the facts, cite the evidence and explain how it is incorrect within your own section. Please do not try to re-factor the page or remove evidence presented by others. If something is put in the wrong place, leave it for the Arbitrators or Clerks to move.
Arbitrators may analyze evidence and other assertions at /Workshop. /Workshop provides for comment by parties and others as well as Arbitrators. After arriving at proposed principles, findings of fact or remedies, Arbitrators vote at /Proposed decision. Only Arbitrators (and clerks, when clarification on votes is needed) may edit the proposed decision page.

Evidence presented by Supreme Deliciousness
=Arab Cowboy not listening to 3O=
3O supported the use of "Arab" in lead [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=299423808&oldid=299422630][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=299909115&oldid=299908784] I did that and brought back trigger words that had previously been deleted by Arab Cowboy (was originally in the article) and other fixes with sources. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=299900516&oldid=299898043]
Arab Cowboy does not listen, removes the "Arab" in the first lead and continues to change trigger words that were originally from the beginning in the article and which the removal of had not been agreed, also the removal of other sourced texts. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=299900516&oldid=299898043] 3O reverts it, since he supports that version: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=299901100&oldid=299900516] I ad more background info (everything sourced): [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=299903052&oldid=299901100]
Arab Cowboy not only reverts the recently added sourced texts, but also claims it is not supported by the evidence, and also reverts everything else that the 3O supported like the use of "Arab" in the lead: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=299903988&oldid=299903052] and also straight out lies: ”Nationality needs to be in "lead" as agreed in Discussion page”
=Arab Cowboy not following mediation process with Diaa abdelmoneim =
Diaa had let me (and later AC) to ad things freely for a period of times,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=300402395&oldid=300401917]==>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=300434207&oldid=300364321] and tells AC to not alter anything I write [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=300405052&oldid=300403922]and then AC went against the mediation process and deleted some things I had added, I brought them back: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=301586920&oldid=301583401]
When Arab Cowboy did not like the outcome of the mediation he started editing the article against agreements at the talkpage. He did not just ad things but he removed and changed massive things that had not been agreed upon at the talkpage. The mediation was almost over and Diaa asked for adding of reffs: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=304106122&oldid=304103272] Here Arab Cowboy asks for one day to ad the reffs and Diaa gives him one day to ad them [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=304121188&oldid=304120670] The very next day he did these massive changes to the article: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=304283056&oldid=304193933][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=304287326&oldid=304287050] and also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=304978391&oldid=304977615]==>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=304942427&oldid=304193933] which caused the mediation to collapse.
Diaa came back: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=304950480&oldid=304949833] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_3#Conflicts] "I find what AC did with changing everything without even respecting my input shows much disrespect to my instructions, which was part of my decision to abstain from any mediation for a while." "I told you to add reffs before I remove all unreffed stuff to clear things. You added more than reffs." Diaa gave me some time to edit the article to fix and bring back texts that Arab Cowboy had removed and changed without approval at the mediation,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=304961034&oldid=304960342] two hours later Arab Cowboy once again started changing the things that I had just fixed with mediator Diaas permission [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=304985474&oldid=304972152] This is what caused Diaa to leave.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADiaa_abdelmoneim&diff=305035292&oldid=305031989]

Evidence presented by Nefer Tweety
I had been following the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_2#RfC debate] on Asmahan and decided to contribute only when there was an RfC. As soon as I tried to voice my opinion, I was called a sock-puppet by Supreme Deliciousness and HelloAnnyong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_2#Sockpuppetry_Allegations , just because my opinion was not in agreement with their agenda, even though I am an independent editor and I am not anyone’s puppet. Sock Puppetry Investigations have proven that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Arab_Cowboy&diff=prev&oldid=303348920#Arab_Cowboy SD and HA’s accusations were false].
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=next&oldid=301822582#Repeated_false_Accusations_and_Insults_by_User_Supreme_Deliciousness_.28SD.29 SD and HA have continued to call me a puppet] even after the SPI decisions, which I have found insulting - similar to calling an innocent man a thief without evidence, and after court proves otherwise. I have continued to contribute to certain articles after it became clear that Supreme Deliciousness had an agenda of making Egyptian articles look Syrian, see for example: Soad Hosny, Anwar Wagdi, Tamer Hosny, Farid al-Atrash, Omar Sharif, etc.
I am determined to protect Egyptian articles from SD's agenda. I do not have time to follow the articles on a continuous basis but will check from time to time. I disagree with Arab Cowboy's hot temper, and advice him to keep a cool head in the face of SD's forays into Egyptian articles.

=Edit warring is a persistent problem with Arab Cowboy=
Note: AC's edit wars involve numerous articles but almost exclusively involve Supreme Deliciousness concerning the emphasis of Egyptian or Syrian in biographies. Examples include:
- [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:98.194.124.102&diff=prev&oldid=292356692 blocked for edit warring] at Farid al-Atrash on May 26.

- This [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:CactusWriter&diff=prev&oldid=313062272 recent "wikilawyer" response] indicates Arab Cowboy takes little responsibility for edit warring and considers the blocks "biased" and/or trivial.
=Arab Cowboy pushes POV -- emphasizing "Egyptian" at the expense of "Syrian"=
Some examples from edit wars include:

=Supreme Deliciousness and Arab Cowboy do not get along=
Despite efforts and advice by mediators, administrators and editors, there does not appear any way that these two editors will become cooperative with one another. I agree with User:Al Ameer son's statement at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Asmahan that it seems impossible now. The history of any article mentioned in the diffs will show persistent warring over minor details -- the kind of details from which other editors would find mutual understanding or simply back away. Both editor's talk pages and edit summaries show they bait each other. Both editors have a problem with POV pushing. In my opinion, a workable solution will require banning the editors from any interaction on their talk pages, limit their editing on any Egypt-Syria cross-over article, and admonishments on POV pushing.

Since I am mentioned in SD's response (that has been moved [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Asmahan/Evidence here]), I am replying in hope of clarifying the situation: SD states "Nsaum75 was clearly POV pushing trying to make it look like Golan is part of Israel."([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Druze&diff=294889671&oldid=294830817]) My edit summary states: "While it is a disputed territory between Syria and Israel, the international community currently recognizes that the Golan Heights is under Israeli control." Control can be interpreted several ways, but since their military occupies the land area, then the area is under Israeli military control.
=NPOV concerns regarding Supreme Deliciousness=
In regards to SD's statement "what I believe is my neutral opinions about Israel at talkpages", as well as comments made by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Asmahan/Evidence#Supreme_Deliciousness_pushes_an_anti-Israel_POV_and_politicizes_non-political_articles CactusWriter] - I have been concerned about SD's motives at a number of political and non-political articles that happen to mention Israel, after he made this addition to his userpage [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Supreme_Deliciousness&oldid=297616808]. It was removed by Xeno([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Supreme_Deliciousness&diff=next&oldid=297616808]) per WP:SOAP, but the information presented on the page and in the userbox has made it very difficult to accept certain edits by SD as being done in Good Faith. Furthermore, when an admin closed an RfC regarding what terminology should be used to describe the Golan Heights, SD protested their actions partly because of the admin's religion.

Evidence presented by Arab Cowboy
I assert that I am not engaged in any edit wars with any users other than Supreme Deliciousness. Supreme Deliciousness has been the initiator and instigator of all edit wars through his pushing of a Syrian personal agenda into Egyptian and other articles. Except for no more than a couple of instances, my position has been EXCLUSIVELY defensive in nature. Supreme Deliciousness's violation of Egyptian articles and bios (where he does not belong) is the cause of this whole situation. By contrast, Supreme Deliciousness has been in conflict with numerous other editors due to his pushing of his personal agenda.
=Supreme Deliciousness’s violation of Egyptian bios and other articles - pushing of POV and personal agenda=
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soad_Hosny&action=historysubmit&diff=312210331&oldid=311874932 Here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tamer_Hosny&action=historysubmit&diff=309986385&oldid=309745713 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anwar_Wagdi&action=historysubmit&diff=311970536&oldid=311878236 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Omar_Sharif&action=historysubmit&diff=296579061&oldid=296571295 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stephan_Rosti&action=historysubmit&diff=296983699&oldid=296729675 here],
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baba_ghanoush&action=historysubmit&diff=294163846&oldid=294163052 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#Article_editing here], at least. For bios, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Omar_Sharif#Summary_and_moving_forward admin Sancho has set the WP rule on claiming descent], addressing Supreme Deliciousness, "SD, avoid original research. Even the leap from "Sharif's parents were Lebanese", to "Sharif is of Lebanese descent" is going too far in an article about a living person." Yet, Supreme Deliciousness has ignored this rule and admin directive and has kept pushing his Syrian agenda into these bios.
=Supreme Deliciousness is still pushing Syrian agenda in Egyptian articles through edit warring at foreign language WP=
[http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B7%D8%B1%D8%B4&action=historysubmit&diff=4212527&oldid=4211615 Here], [http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Omar_Sharif&action=historysubmit&diff=45993877&oldid=45991111 here], etc.
=A fake “3O mediation” - an act of deception by Supreme Deliciousness=
HelloAnnyong was brought in by Supreme Deliciousness. HelloAnnyong’s act was not a mediation by any means. HelloAnnyong agreed with and supported Supreme Deliciousness almost 100% of the time, example [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=306447079&oldid=306440941 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=304394822&oldid=304392848 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=299901100&oldid=299900516 here]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_1#SD.27s_Misquotation_of_the_Source_and_HelloAnnyong.27s_Complicity HelloAnnyong even supported Supreme Deliciousness when Supreme Deliciousness was misquoting the sources].
HelloAnnyong supported Supreme Deliciousness’s proposal to neutralize Asmahan’s nationality, just because they did not want to call her Egyptian, [http://www.alquds.co.uk/index.asp?fname=2008\05\05-23\21m25.htm&storytitle= as she was]. I proposed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AAsmahan&diff=299423808&oldid=299422630#Compromise_Solution_Proposed_by_Arab_Cowboy to refer to Asmahan as “Syrian-Egyptian”], although her Syrian nationality was never proven except by association to her father. This proposal was rejected by both Supreme Deliciousness and (therefore, of course) by HelloAnnyong, although after a lot more haggling and further mediation with Diaa Abdelmoneim, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_3#Preferred_Lead my proposal was found to be the most logical] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asmahan was adopted in the lead of the article].
=Collapse of Diaa Abdelmoneim’s mediation effort - another act of deception by Supreme Deliciousness=
Diaa’s mediation effort collapsed because (1) Supreme Deliciousness had been sneaking edits past Diaa during a no-edit period. Those specific additions, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=304187036&oldid=304124449 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=301586920&oldid=301583401 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=301552678&oldid=301552169 here], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&diff=301555899&oldid=301552725 here], at least, by Supreme Deliciousness [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_3#Refraining_from_editing_for_2_days_.28lengthened_for_5_days.29 were made AFTER the 24-hour free edit periods dictated by Diaa], and (2) I had alerted Diaa to those sneak edits made by Supreme Deliciousness, but Diaa did not act on my alerts because he was busy with other articles. Subsequently, I took Diaa’s inaction as authorization to freely edit the article myself, and acted accordingly. Diaa has concurred that Supreme Deliciousness’s edits had been snuck past him [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Arab_Cowboy#To_Diaa here].
=Collapse of Al-Ameer son’s mediation effort - another act of deception by Supreme Deliciousness=
Ameer’s mediation effort was for the most part successful, but at its conclusion, Supreme Deliciousness filed a plagiarism report against the article, only reporting edits made by myself as CV violations, although his own edits had been equally so – [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asmahan/Archive_3#End_of_the_war he had been constantly nagging that as little as single words were not close enough to the sources], and as soon as they were close enough to his liking, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CactusWriter/Archive4#More_plagarism_in_Asmahan_article he filed a plagiarism report]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=309611242&oldid=309600541 Admin Cactus reverted the whole article back to 11 July] as a result, and all mediation efforts and our 3 months' work was destroyed]. And, after laborious efforts by myself to rebuild the article without CVs, Supreme Deliciousness claimed that the article was not close enough to the sources anymore, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=312396616&oldid=312396165 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=312396165&oldid=312395857 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=312395857&oldid=312230826 here], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asmahan&action=historysubmit&diff=311666388&oldid=311666100 here] (please see his edit summaries) and he filed this request for arbitration. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CactusWriter/Archive4#Response_to_your_message_to_Arab_Cowby Cactus has told Supreme Deliciousness the following]: “I find you equally culpable because of antagonizing POV-pushing edits. Edits like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Omar_Sharif&diff=prev&oldid=296045035 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soad_Hosny&diff=prev&oldid=296823632 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anwar_Wagdi&diff=prev&oldid=297033059 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anwar_Wagdi&diff=prev&oldid=297117185 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E2%80%98Alawi&diff=prev&oldid=304691098 this], to just name a few, suggest you may have an an agenda. Persisting in constant reversions suggests intractability and antagonizing behavior. I haven't determined whether you are actually anti-Egyptian or just determined to add the word Syrian into every article whether its appropriate, but I do note that you seem to be in edit wars on most every article in which you are involved.”
=Religiously offensive username - another act of deception by Supreme Deliciousness=
Supreme Deliciousness requested the username “Supreme Allah”, which is clearly offensive to both Muslims and others. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Changing_username&diff=prev&oldid=302929995#Supreme_Deliciousness_.E2.86.92_Supreme_Allah His request was refused], in spite of Supreme Deliciousness’s [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:EVula&diff=prev&oldid=302931035#Excuse_me_but begging and pleading]. However, in another act of deception, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=304091111#Religiously_offensive.2C_deceptive_user_name_used_by_User:Supreme_Deliciousness Supreme Deliciousness still snuck in his chosen, unapproved username] “Supreme Allah” by using the format: Supreme Deliciouness|Supreme Allah, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anti-Israel_lobby_in_the_United_States#Survey here].
=Supreme Deliciousness’s engagement in edit wars=
Supreme Deliciousness has been edit warring with numerous other editors, and most lately myself. See for example: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#3rr here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#Please_do_not_start_edit_wars here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#There_is_a_conspiracy_against_me here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#ArbCom here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive_1#June_2009 here],

=Supreme Deliciousness at least as guilty of offenses he's accusing me of=
Supreme Deliciousness has taken his complaints to administrators who have responded by telling him that he was practicing the same behavior of which he has been complaining.

=Supreme Deliciousness's provoking behavior against me=
Supreme Deliciousness has used my contributions page, undoing every change that I had made to Wikipedia, even on pages where he had previously shown no interest, and inviting other users to intensify the edit wars against me on all of those pages.''' Please see: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hertz1888/Archive_3#Help_me.21 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:George/Archive_1#Help_me.21 and here], just to name a couple.

=Relevant SPI=
I should like to draw attention to
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Supreme_Deliciousness/Archive#Report_date_November_2_2009.2C_08:59_.28UTC.29 which demonstrates that:
- The dispute between these editors is carrying on across Wikipedias. I do not know how much communication there is with similar committees on other Wikipedias, but Arbcom may which to raise this issue with ones in the French and Arabic projects.
- Arab Cowboy's persistence in defending his creation of the report strikes me as tendentious editing in itself.--Peter cohen (talk) 14:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
=General observation on SD=
As a general observation, my perception is that Supreme Deliciousness has calmed down somewhat since first joining Wikipedia and that while there is still room for improvement, he is headed the right way.--Peter cohen (talk) 14:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
