::::::::::::I understand you are bending the rules to explain this to me. I am taking this very seriously, GSoW is a very important project. I care very strongly that I am able to continue to edit and train. So I need understand, there may be sanctions for me and to unknown editors based on the decision of ArbCom. A decision that is made up from three or four detractors giving their "evidence"? This is far-reaching and stressful.

:::::::::::::Lastly - this "evidence" I'm seeing from my detractors keeps saying "The GSoW did this or that" When they don't know who GSoW is? I don't control Wikipedia, so how am I expected to control what edits are put on what page by editors I've never heard of before?

::::::::::::::(Comment from someone who isn't an Arbcom member) They would have to show evidence that the edit is from a GSoW member and that the rest of the GSoW knew about that person breaking Wikipedia's rules and either approved or did nothing.
::::::::::::::How to prove that someone is a GSoW member? They could freely admit it of course. There could, for example have a conversation on the GSoW facebook page saying something like "Date X is wrong and name Y is misspelled, I just fixed it" shortly after a particular Wikipedia editor made those exact changes. The point is that the evidence has to be in the accusation, otherwise it will be discounted as not being supported by evidence.
::::::::::::::Then, of course they would have to show that this person made some sort of bad edits. Off-wiki coordination is allowed if it doesn't harm the encyclopedia. For example, I am part of an informal group who sometimes discuss improving our coverage of [[ARM architecture|ARM microcontrollers]], but we follow the rules.
::::::::::::::Even then the above doesn't prove that "The GSoW" did something wrong, just the individual who made the bad edits. --[[User:Guy Macon Alternate Account|Guy Macon Alternate Account]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon Alternate Account|talk]]) 20:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
