Editing Arbitration (section)

== What counts as evidence ==

Difference between revisions is all that counts as evidence.  People have to wade through Wikipedia to find differences that look incriminating.  They can quote out of context, ignore what the very next revision is, and so forth.  As in most cases the person who is being questioned is banned, they cannot counter these arguments.  In many cases they are also newbies and don't know how to do it.  On top of that, the people trying to justify the ban are often administrators, who can simply delete all of the revisions that would hurt their case.

Nonetheless, they keep up this evidence, no matter how falsified and misleading.  Combined with false [[sock puppet]] claims, they are able to claim that various things said by someone else are by them, and so forth.
