Sounds like we need to have a notable search engine that includes only
approved and allowed sources, that would be nice to have.

From the information provided to this list, it is reasonable to
assume that other wikipedians, besides this one, have been dealt with
by other arbcomcs, besides the pt.wiki arbcom, by their real names,
like Virgilio A. P. Machado, NOT their user names,
Look up English Arbcom history. There have been several cases there. But
real people at Arbitration (whatever community) are best not publicized - we
aim not to harm real people.
A number of big cases included users under their real names, some smaller
