1.1) RK is banned from editing Wikipedia for four months. In the time he is banned, he will be required to do 'community service' work on Wikibooks on topics exclusively related to biology.
Community service is a very valid remedy in the real world. Why not here? A better proposed remedy would have added community service as an option RK could choose instead of a total hard ban.
*That* is just the type of thing that would have been appropriate for (using your own words) somebody who obviously cares a great deal about the project.
I agree with this, and with extending an olive branch to users who are interested in regaining the community's goodwill. It was the tone of 'requiring' such a remedy, not the 'community service' bit, that got my goat.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, then all your problems start to look like nails. The ArbCom needs more tools.
Like the ability to queue edits made by a given user/ip for review (only to non-Talk pages), rather than having them immediately made live, for a period of time...
