Arbitration report

The Report on Lengthy Litigation

Contribute —

The Arbitration Committee closed one case this week, leaving three currently open.

C68-FM-SV: A case, lasting over four months, involving disputes among Cla68, FeloniousMonk, SlimVirgin, JzG, and others. As a result of the case, FeloniousMonk was desysopped. Also, a number of principles and findings of fact were enacted, and the parties were instructed to review and abide by them, giving a number of prohibited courses of conduct by way of example.

Piotrus 2: A second case involving alleged edit warring and other misconduct by Piotrus and other editors. Piotrus denies the allegations against him, and has suggested that the case may be a deliberate attempt to drive him from the site.

Sarah Palin protection wheel war: A case involving allegations of wheel-warring on the Sarah Palin article, over a dispute as to the merits of page protection being applied in respect of it.

SlimVirgin-Lar: A case brought by Thatcher, asking the committee to review the use of checkuser by Lar, in the light of comments by SlimVirgin (here, inter alia), alleging that he misused the tool. Evidence is to be submitted privately to the committee by e-mail, and voting will presumably occur privately as well.
