Scuro (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is placed under mentorship for a period of one year. Scuro shall find a mentor of his choice, and shall inform the Committee once the mentor has been selected; if no mentor is found within one month of the closure of this case (that is, by 15 August 2009), the Committee will appoint a mentor. The terms of the mentorship must cover guidance on Wikipedia's sourcing and citation guidelines and observation of and assistance with effective communication on talk pages, but otherwise Scuro and the mentor are free to decide on the terms. Once an agreement on the terms is reached, Scuro or the mentor shall advise the Committee of the terms by email. Until said mentor is in place and the terms are approved by Scuro, the mentor and the Committee, Scuro is topic banned from editing articles and talk pages defined in "Topic area" above, broadly construed.

• The situation on Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related pages including Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Collaboration of the Week (MCOTW) is at present much the same as it was this spring, before arbitration. Scuro talks (and sometimes lectures) about collaboration, true consensus building, a new start/beginning, NPOV, undue weight, the ball is in your court, be willing to come to the table, etc., but in a way that most other editors see as delaying tactics or otherwise not constructive. When he talks about "majority opinion" and "minority opinion", it is plain that he feels that he represents the majority while most other editors belong to a minority or fringe. Scuro has knowledge and views which I believe should be heard but his methods of communicating are not conducive to the kinds of cooperation needed to write an encyclopedia. I would like to see him learn from a very good and patient mentor; without that, the situation is again intolerable. Since Scuro states that the mentor (he calls it "mediator") should only be concerned with citations, the requested amendment is necessary. Quote: "By the way I've followed all of my obligations with regards to arbitration, and the mediator was specifically for citations only."

• I am aware that Literaturegeek has filed a request regarding another remedy in the same case. That one and mine may be combined, if that is agreeable to the Committee and other parties.
