Statement by Zapatancas
I, User:Zapatancas, first posted this request on April 3, ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_arbitration&diff=46771892&oldid=46729256 here]) and SqueakBox deleted it some hours later ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_arbitration&diff=46799500&oldid=46797412 here]).
User SqueakBox has harassed me since May 2005. His harassment has consisted in:
- Personal attacks and insults against me ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas_Archive&diff=18900583&oldid=18820093 example]).
- Throwing false accusations that I had created sockpuppets to vandalize his user page or about my behavior towards other users or towards him. An example can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas&diff=39741287&oldid=39217409 here].
- Vandalizing my user page inserting false accusations ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Zapatancas&oldid=18900713 here]).
- Destroying my efforts and making it almost impossible for me to work on the Wikipedia and in deteriorating the quality of articles on which I have worked. (For example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=46506952&oldid=46434723 here] he has mixed the spelling of the article. It was demonstrated in an RfC that, in the present circumstances, the article had to use American spelling (an explanation given on the time can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero%2FArchive_2&diff=27334578&oldid=27247833 here]). SqueakBox accepted the decision [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas&diff=35412842&oldid=34764681 here]). The article has used American English consistently for year.
I have no much time to spend on the Wikipedia so I have concentrated 98% of my efforts on the articles about José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (that is, that article and others related to it such as Zapatero's early years (1960-2000), Zapatero's years as an opposition leader, Zapatero and the Local and Regional Elections of 2003, Zapatero and the 2004 General Election, Zapatero's foreign policy and Zapatero's domestic policy). That has allowed SqueakBox to disguise his aggressive behavior towards me like a "normal" dispute between users in relation to a specific article. That is not the case.
The case is that this problem has nothing to do with content. A look at Talk:José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and at the archived talk shows immediately that SqueakBox’s interest in the articles content is minimum. He rarely refers to the information present in the articles. He reserves the talk page mostly for general statements such as “this article is not neutral”, “this article is very bad”, “this article is a disgrace”, “this article is a piece of cr**p”, “this article needs to be cleaned up”, “the English of the article is very bad”, “Zapatancas vandalized my user page” or “there is a troll here,” referring to me, of course. Furthermore, he has never contributed anything new to the article and has rarely improved its format or its wording, as far as I remember.
That this conflict has nothing to do with content is proved by SqueakBox’s recent statement in the mediation process by which he claimed that there were not pending issues ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_mediation%2FJos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=43066659&oldid=42908131 here]), but he has insulted me from then ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ARequests_for_mediation%2FJos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=44961084&oldid=43065647 example]).
To defend himself, SqueakBox will claim that I have vandalized his user page. It is completely false and he has no evidence. I have never been blocked. He will claim that I have said he suffers a mental disease. I have said I believe he suffers from a mental disorder because I think his behavior is only explained with that. I have never intended to offend him, only to explain the unfair abuse I have suffered.
- Attempts to solve the problem through direct dialog have been constant since May, as can be seen in Talk:José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Talk:José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero/Archive 3, Talk:José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero/Archive 2 and Talk:José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero/Archive 1, and the personal pages of SqueakBox and Zapatancas.
- An RfC was started in October 2005 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Politics&diff=prev&oldid=26625810 here]), to decide the spelling of the article José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The discussions can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero/Archive_2#International_spelling here].
- Administrator Katefan0 protected the article in November ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&oldid=29181018 here]), and tried to start a mediated process to solve the conflict as can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero_Archive_3&diff=prev&oldid=29181147 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=prev&oldid=29490167 here]; but SqueakBox disappeared after having taken part in an edit war until that day (as can be seen in this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=prev&oldid=29708523 Katefan0’s comment]).
- A mediation process was tried (Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero), recently with no result. (as Zapatancas refused to give it a go)
- SqueakBox has claimed three times that he wants to forget old problems and start again ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas_Archive&diff=15356270&oldid=13660164 here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas_Archive&diff=19656091&oldid=19653930 here in Spanish] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas&diff=35412842&oldid=34764681 here]). He has always ended up repeating his attacks against me until now. Zapatancas 16:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

This concerns the behaviour of {{Vandal|Zapatancas}}, who is still amking absurd anf false accusations of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&curid=273972&diff=47778180&oldid=47658794 vandalism], who vandalised my user page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=13507824 here]

S/he has accused me of being SquealingPig, an idea that began [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=13273934 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=13274135 here]. His or her false characterisation of me as having a mental problem in his or her statement is a clear sign of his or continuous hostility towards me as are the accussations that SquealingPig first made that I am SquealingPig, ie the harrassment of SquealingPig continues in the current behaviour of Zapatancas. S/he made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=28497627 a death threat] and repeatedly vandalised my user page and talk page using all 3 accounts, Zapatancas, SquealingPig and SquealingPigAttacksAgain. S/he has accused me of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=13274447 having affairs] and of having [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Zapatancas&oldid=19651534 a psychiatric problem] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=28656940 here] etc. S/he refuses to debate the issues on Zapatero. I went to mediation because s/he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=34516046 demanded] that I sort mediation (s/he didn't actualy set upm the mediation him or her self, s/he said it wass my responsibility and if I didn't sort s/he would take me staright to arbitrationto. S/he then unilaterally rejected mediation when s/he discovered it wasn't another forum where s/he could humiliate me, ie that I wouldn't be forced to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=prev&oldid=44210340 "apologise"] to him or her, having earlier stated his or her [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=41451344 reluctance] to rake over the past S/he is now claiming *[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero&diff=46506952&oldid=46434723 this] edit is blatant vandalism and was made only to destroy his or her works.

He was then blocked and has now been permanently blocked.

The fact that I have also extensively edited Javier Solana, José María Aznar, Rodrigo Rato and a vast number of Latin American politicians puts the lie to this claim, something SquealinPig and thus Zapatancas realised [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Javier_Solana&diff=prev&oldid=13274809 here].

To summarise, on May 5th my user page gets vandalised by SqwuelaingPig whose first edit was to the Zapatero talk page very angry at me [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jos%C3%A9_Luis_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Zapatero/Archive_2&diff=prev&oldid=13271374 here], then on May 10 Zapatancas vandalises both my user page and my user talk page. Now he accuses me of being insane and of having concocted the whole episode, a theme begun by SquealingPig [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=13273934 here] and then unashamedly taken up by Zapatancas. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SqueakBox&diff=prev&oldid=28497414 Here] s/he accuses my wife of two-timing me, ie dragging a non-user and their repuatation inoto a public forum solely in order to harrass me. S/he has refused to engage in discussion on the Zapatero talk page. This taking me to arbcom is clearly part of his or her attempt to erase me from wikipedia, as promised. My offence seems to be not allowing Zapatancas to forget his sockpuppet outbursts, or perhaps it was editing in a way s/he didn't like in the first place that caused this hatred of me. Nor am I the only one who thinks this of Zapatancas. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABoothy443%2FArchive_3&diff=13515208&oldid=13508212 Boothy443's similar comments], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AZapatancas_Archive&diff=13599640&oldid=13560879 ClockworkSoul's comments].

Zapatancas rejected mediation unilaterally without giving it a go.
I was chased away by Zapatancas' continued harrassment.
By attacks he means reminding him of his sockpuppet accounts and his behaviour while using them, that is not a persobnnal attack, SqueakBox 04:48, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

=Temporary injunction (none)=
=Final decision=
All numbering based on /Proposed decision (vote counts and comments are there as well)
Principles
=No personal attacks=
1) Personal attacks by editors on other editors are prohibited. See Wikipedia:No personal attacks.
:Passed 5 to 0 at 17:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
=Edit warring is harmful=
2) Edit warring is harmful. When disagreements arise, users are expected to discuss their differences rationally rather than reverting ad infinitum. The three-revert rule should not be construed as an entitlement or inalienable right to three reverts, nor does it endorse reverts as an editing technique.
:Passed 5 to 0 at 17:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
=Harassment=
3) Engaging in a pattern of disruptive and unproductive talk page comments, reverts, misuse of userspace for attacks, and other such abuses for the intent of harassing other editors is unacceptable.
:''Passed x to x at 17:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
=Optional styles=
4) When either of two styles are acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. For example, with respect to English spelling as opposed to American spelling it would be acceptable to change from American spelling to English spelling if the article concerned an English subject. Revert warring over optional styles is unacceptable; if the article is colour rather than color, it would be wrong to switch simply to change styles as both are acceptable.

Findings of fact
=SqueakBox makes personal attacks=
1) SqueakBox has engaged in many severe personal attacks against other editors, particularly against Zapatancas.

3) SqueakBox and Zapatancas have engaged in a sustained edit war for many months on many articles related to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
