Proposed removal of Diptanshu Das

Discussions are archived for review purposes. Please start a new discussion to discuss the topic further.

Result

Diptanshu has now resigned from the board of WikiJournal of Medicine and the WikiJournal Council. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 16:16, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Background

I am proposing for the removal of Diptanshu Das (User:Diptanshu Das) from the WikiJournal of Medicine (WJM) editorial board member position under ARTICLE VI section 3.

There are several reasons why I am making this proposal. It began when there was a disagreement arising from Wikimania, in which there was disagreement over tasks involved, workload and points of view. In the off-wiki mailing list, he began criticizing and making insulting statements towards an editor from WikiJournal of Humanities (WJH), not realizing that his comments were actually pointed towards a member from WJM who shares the same first name. Understanding that his emails were rude, nonetheless he sent it anyways because it was "meant to be" and that his response "was meant to be firm and harsh". At that time I already expressed my concerns that his conduct is unbecoming of an editorial board member and others believed that his tone in the emails were inappropriate. He defended his actions due to lack of time. As a result of Diptanshu's harassment, both individuals involved in the name mix-up quit their respective boards over his actions.[2][3]

The editors-in-chief from WJM, WJH and WikiJournal of Science (WJS) issued a formal warning to Diptanshu for his behaviour. However, on today, he requested the individuals he harassed to apologize to him for getting him into the mess in the first place. He also expressed that he considered removing himself from the board but decided against it. It demonstrated his battleground mentality and failure to drop the stick. His incivility and lack of assuming good faith leads me to believe that he has already violated the Code of conduct's Harassment and discrimination policy numerous times. He is a net-negative for the group and since it is unlikely for him to remove himself from the board, I am putting forth a motion to call for his removal due to lack of confidence.

Voting procedure

This vote includes removal from the WikiJournal Council (Eligibility for voting) and the Editorial board of WikiJMed (Eligibility for voting). Even if not fulfilling any of these, your comment is still appreciated. The Bylaws do not specify a given duration that this vote needs to take, but if we are clearly in agreement, I think it is reasonable to have it going for a total of 4 days as per Section 6. General decisions, that is, until August 13. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 16:26, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

• comment I realize I don't have a vote due to this being the boards issue, however its possible he may have had a 'personal issue' he may have been dealing w/ which may have affected his judgment here....--Ozzie10aaaa (discuss • contribs) 12:07, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
• comment I want to express my appreciation for the time and energy you have taken in responding. I know this takes time out of your busy schedules, but like me, you spoke up for good reason. As seen here, in situations of harassment, bystanders are important. I was the first person to speak up about Diptanshu’s inappropriate response in the email chain, but certainly not the only one.

I choose to not vote in this situation, but I felt it was appropriate to comment.

Diptanshu, I am not responsible for your inappropriate behavior. I just called you out on it. Prior contributions do not matter when it comes to inappropriate behavior. It always is a net negative for the team. Jackiekoerner (discuss • contribs) 15:32, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Jackie, you are definitely not responsible for my inappropriate behaviour. I have already admitted that my reaction was disproportionate and misplaced. But I do not consider the ground that triggered me, to be invalid. Any discussion on that part got shadowed by the intensity of people's reactions. You did not assume good faith, something that somebody else pointed out to be a requisite. I would suggest you to take a softer and friendlier tone when you wish some change to happen. I would also insist you to aspire for positive change by setting the best alternative path to follow. I would urge you to realise that not being satisfied with any positive developments that you get from others is actually counter-productive. I would urge you to try to become a better person than you are today. I would also insist you to improve upon your sense of humility, if you could.

Regarding my value in a team, my team-mates would be in the best position to comment upon. I do not think that we have teamed up, and so I do not consider you eligible to comment. But a humble suggestion to you, if you ever participate in a team, your team-mates will have attributes that are good and attributes that are bad. Try to augment the good and try to redirect the bad to alternatives that are less hazardous than the existing bad. That is how to make value addition to a team. I would hope that over time you come to realise it. Believe me that there is enough good around that if augmented will hardly leave you a scope to stay bothered about the bad. I can only hope the best for you. As regards me, rest assured that I will leave the world a better place than I was born in. Diptanshu 💬 18:53, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Jackie, prior contributions do not matter. Future contributions do. Not everyone can foresee the future. Not everyone can steer the future toward a yet better one. If possible, try to grow that capacity and you will change the future for good. Diptanshu 💬 19:21, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Statement of Diptanshu Das

I have now removed myself based on the unanimous vote so far. However, I do consider the entire proposal to be misplaced and the most of the voters (barring a few) not to have the right to participate. Nevertheless, they enjoy the benefit of doubt since the eligibility criteria have not been defined. I would insist the EiC to take care of the matter.

I also consider the vote misplaced since it does not provide slightest ease to the people who were at pain. Since the vote does not decide my status on the WikiJournal Council, something that was the concerning matter. Furthermore, even removal from the WikiJournal Council does not resolve anything because it does not bar me from participating in WikiJournal related affairs as a participant need not be a member of the Council to be able to contribute. When I said that the position does not matter to me, this is what I meant. I do not need a position to contribute to what I love. So, I would urge the EiCs to clearly define the principles including that of discrimination. You can feel free to ban me if you think that helps. Diptanshu 💬 17:35, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Discrimination

I still consider my allegation of discrimination to be valid. I would need a clear proof that discrimination has not occurred. I do feel that discrimination has clearly occurred. If people can find time to participate in a substanceless debate on apparently ethical issues and let the discussion and trudge on, the only explanation I have for non-participation in productive and constructive activities is discriminatory behaviour. I would keep WikiJMed members out of the list. I would also leave out the relatively new members of the other groups who are otherwise not very active. I would leave out others who have communicated directly with me or have expressed lack of availability of time. But I hold my accusation valid against all the other members of the boards of WikiJSci and WikiJSci who have shown recent activity.

I would also need them to prove on-wiki that discrimination has not occurred. This is a serious allegation and I think that it would rather be hard to prove that such a thing has not occurred. Diptanshu 💬 17:35, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

It's not that difficult. If someone issues a call for action, people will decide whether or not to participate based on their own priorities, and on their own available time. If someone behaves inappropriately, and then issues a call for action, people might in addition consider whether they really want to cooperate directly with that person, given their recent inappropriate behaviour. Even that latter reasoning would not be discrimination, in the sense that it would not be prejudicial or unjust treatment based on a person's membership in a certain category of human beings. It is contributors to a volunteer project freely deciding with whom to cooperate, based on that person's concrete behaviour.

As for why people with little time to begin with have joined this discussion of an ethical issue: I can only speak for myself, but suspect that the case is similar for the others who joined in. If I see someone being harassed, I feel obligated to help. This is a stronger obligation than the free decision to spend or not spend time on a volunteer project; it would be ethically wrong not to help, so I do it, even though I really would rather spend the time on something else. When you sent around your demands for apologies to the two editors who left because of your previous actions, that was such a case. Markus Pössel (discuss • contribs) 20:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

This statement well expresses my own position. Thank you. --Florian (Elmidae) (talk · contribs) 13:10, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Markus Pössel, I beg to disagree. Firstly, you (or most of the others) did not know me prior to my communication. So, you are not expected to have any idea about what sort of person I am. Naturally, you all had no reason to have an apathy toward me. But I found something that was unsupportable, and reacted. My reaction was not soft and unfortunately disproportionate. That was my mistake that I admitted subsequently. But that does not render the basis of my reaction invalid. In fact, all through the series of emails there was not a single criticism whether my reaction had any basis and whether that basis needed to be dealt with. Did you or the others pick up the offensive tone in my reaction? You did not. Had you done so you would have reacted outright. Jackie did and as a matter of fact, it was a false alarm. It was this false alarm that got everyone started. The false alarm was about the supposed harassment and discrimination. Now these are serious allegations and it is no wonder that it made everybody discriminate me from others. I clarified that that there was no harassment or discrimination and provided the supporting points and also apologised mentioning that my reaction was misplaced and disproportionate. But people awoke on the alarm of the harassment word and started noting things after they became awake and not after my actions. They could not pick up the sincerity in my tone and they could not bother to look into the basis. Meanwhile, although my apology was genuine, I also held the basis of my reaction to be valid, and so what came along was not something equivalent to unconditional surrender. So, people assumed that my subsequent actions were unacceptable as well. Jackie had raised a false alarm (although duly) and she could surely show humility by apologising, but she did not. Kai (Alexis)'s initial action followed by her further reaction were the basis of my getting offended, but she too did not apologise for having offending me. I did not ask for these earlier, but when I had already been labelled a villian, I had no inhibition to ask for them. Once you get a label, its hard to undo and a strange bias sets in. There was something fundamentally wrong that was going on and I protested. My protest and apology did not seem to go hand in hand and people were aware of only half the facts. So, things worsened further and nobody assumed good faith. In fact, when Andrew lodged this proposal, he did not even have his facts correct.

Coming to the issue of discrimination, I feel that had I not been labelled a menace, people would have acted otherwise. And, as explained, it was not exclusively due to my actions. Anyway, people voluntarily choose whom to show solidarity to. Were the whites in solidarity with the blacks (sometime back in the past)? They were not because they considered the blacks to be uncivil menace. This is exactly the label I had. We now refer to this as racial discrimination because the discrimination is based on racism. Here too discrimination exists, although for a different cause. Indeed whether people choose to work along is a matter of choice, but the basis here amounts to discrimination. People do not like to work along others who are accused or identified as guilty irrespective of their actual guilt. That is exactly the case here and I belong to that minority. Please prove me wrong.

Board member re-elections

As per the bylaws of WikiJMed "Editorial Board Members shall serve four-year terms. There is no limit to the number of terms any individual Editorial Board Member may serve." [4]
In the editorial board of WikiJMed [5], there are 3 members whose current term ends on January 1, 2019: Mikael Häggström (myself), Gwinyai Masukume (Assistant editor-in-chief) and Lisa Kipersztok.
I think an appropriate first step in a re-election is for the person to actively apply for it. I therefore now add myself below, and advise the other two to do the same if interested in continuing at the positions. I am sure many participants know us pretty well already, but just in case, we can re-introduce ourselves too, preferably by the template as per below. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 18:09, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Also, as per the bylaws, Eligible voters for Editorial Board Member elections are:
(a) Current Editorial Board Members.
(b) Peer reviewers of Wiki.J.Med. who have completed at least one peer review.
(c) Editors with at least 30 edits to Wiki.J.Med. pages.
(d) Not an individual voting for herself/himself.

On the other hand sometimes you should watch that this doesn't run out of hand, but until now we haven't had any problems like that so I am reassured. Also a less positive aspect is your refraining from much on-wiki editing. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
