Arbitration motions regarding Tinucherian

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by two motions that:

1) For repeated and egregious breaches of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on paid-contribution disclosures and conflicts of interest, Tinucherian (talk · contribs) is desysopped. Tinucherian may regain the administrative tools at any time via a successful request for adminship.

2d) Tinucherian (talk · contribs) is admonished for repeatedly editing in a manner inconsistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on paid-contribution disclosures and conflicts of interest. The question of whether administrative action is needed for violation of WP:COI and WP:UPE is left to normal community processes.
