Hello, this is to let everyone know that I have submitted an appeal to the GGTF case. It has been very difficult to try to respond to the accusations in this arbitration case, because I don't understand them. Everyone who has looked at the diffs has found nothing. Kevin Gorman called them "flimsy". Even Wikipediocracy, which has no particular love for me, could find nothing. After having had time to go through some of the histories, I found that half of the diffs were from someone who wrote a program specifically to collect diffs of my edits in order to sift through them and who was able to use the program to discover IP addresses as well. The other half of the diffs were added to the case by one of the arbitrators after the evidence phase of the case had closed and included edits made by Jimmy Wales and one of the admins--not even my edits. I don't want to say a lot about this on a public mailing list, but at this point it is pretty obvious that this is a false conviction. I understand I was eligible to appeal this after one year, however I have waited more than two years. My initial inquiry to the WMF was on 11/17/16. I was assigned a member of the WMF staff and told I could expect to hear something in mid-January. Since then, I have made three followup queries, asking for an update to the expected timeline, but have been unable to get any response at all. At this point, there is no reason to believe the non-response is not deliberate.
