The Frame up
Cberlet, Nobs et. al. case
At Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Nobs01 and others/Proposed decision#External activities of users: might you consider rewording? I think I understand what you are saying, but it is (rather atypically) worded in such a way that I can't be sure.
You wrote: "The policies of Wikipedia apply on Wikipedia;…" (OK, so far pretty much a tautology) "…use in external activities of such tactics as 'links & ties',…" (now you're beginning to lose me, in what sense are "links and ties" a "tactic", maybe there is a verb missing, doing something with links and ties?) "…or guilt by association may be properly reported in a[n] article concerning them,…" (I'm getting lost in the passive voice, who may report what in an article concerning whom?) "…but do not justify their use by any party on Wikipedia…" (the use of what? The referent of their is very unclear) "which requires actual verification of information by a reliable source, Wikipedia:Cite sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:No original research." (OK, you seem to be saying again that use of things in Wikipedia requires that Wikipedia policies be followed. But in between, where you presumably were stating the substance of the matter, you completely lost me.) -- Jmabel Talk 02:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
