It was brought to my attention that Ruy Lopez twice reverted the
article on Joseph Stalin without discussing said reverts on the talk
page.  According to remedy #4 of the aforementioned arbcom case
"Gzornenplatz, Shorne, and VeryVerily, and Ruy Lopez are required to
discuss all reverts on the relavant talk page, with the goal of
finding mutually acceptable compromises."  This he did not do.

The enforcement section states that: 
1) If Gzornenplatz, Shorne, or VeryVerily should revert a page more
than once per day, an administrator may ban him for up to 24 hours.

2) If Gzornenplatz, Shorne, or VeryVerily should revert a page without
discussing it on the relevant talk page, an administrator may ban him
for up to 24 hours.

This is an impossible situation. If there is no option for
enforcement, then remedy #4 cannot apply to Ruy Lopez.  I am concerned
about what I think is a serious oversight on the part of the
Arbitration Committee.  I blocked Ruy Lopez for 24 hours based on my
interpretation of arbcom's intent.  If I should not have done this I
apologize in advance and will unblock Ruy post-haste.  I felt it
necessary to bring this matter to the community's attention as quickly
and publicly as possible.
