The ban is not infinite. Will Beback is free to appeal the ban after six
months. I recall having positive interactions with Will Beback in the
past, however, the English Wikipedia community is more than capable of
taking care of itself. Thanks.

We appear to have a problem with Arbcom. We have an

in a vote of 8 to 4 he is block indefinitely for issues related to a
specific religious movement.
The foundation is spending large sums in an attempt to attract productive
editors to the project. Arbcoms actions seem counterproductive to these
efforts. Is it time that we look at rearranging how arbcom works? Issues
that have a significant effect on Wikipedia should not be left to a group
of 12 but should go to the community for consensus.
