Request for clarification: Ireland article names

List of any users involved or directly affected, and confirmation that all are aware of the request:

Notice has been posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration. Membership as follows:

Statement by your name

The above case proposed four remedies to the dispute over how to refer to the island of Ireland and the state of Ireland on Wikipedia. The first of these were:

The community is asked to open a new discussion for the purpose of obtaining agreement on a mechanism for assessing the consensus or majority view on the appropriate names for Ireland and related articles. The purpose of this discussion shall be to develop reasonably agreed-upon procedures for resolving this issue, without further disputes or rancor as to the fairness of the procedures used. Editors are asked to approach this discussion with an open mind and without emphasis on prior discussions that failed to reach agreement.

That was discussion was opened at a designated centralised location. It was undertaken in good faith but failed to reach a decision. A back-up procedure was as follows (2nd remedy):

If the discussion convened under the terms of Remedy #1 does not result in a reasonable degree of agreement on a procedure within 14 days, then the Arbitration Committee shall designate a panel of three uninvolved administrators to develop and supervise an appropriate procedure.

That back-up procedure was initiated. Over the subsequent months, consensus was unattainable among the participants of the process on the matter of the titles of the Ireland and Republic of Ireland articles. In light of that, a consensus decision was reached to hold a community wide vote on that matter (inspired by the Gdańsk/Danzig vote). That vote took place. The outcome was to have the articles on the state at Republic of Ireland and the articles on the island at Ireland (with a disambiguation page at Ireland (disambiguation)). The result was confirmed by the moderating administrator.

Subsequent to that vote, the outstanding matters related to how to refer to Ireland/Republic of Ireland in other places (e.g. in articles). Agreement was reach on those matters by consensus. The result of that consensus has been added to the Ireland manual of style.

The titles/locations of those articles has been stable since the vote took place (September). The style guidelines have also been stable since their addition (December) and have been upheld on article discussion pages independent of it.

The final remedy related to the binding nature of the process:

Once the procedures discussed in Remedy #1 (and, if necessary, Remedy #2) are implemented, no further page moves discussions related to these articles shall be initiated for a period of 2 years.

Since the result of the vote became there was a substantial drop off in participation in the process and several editors formally withdrew from the process. Owing to this, some say that because of the process became derailed and thus is non-binding/non-completeable. Can we please have confirmation on the following:

  • Have all of the procedures outlined in the request for arbitration have been fulfilled?
  • Are the outcomes of the procedures now binding for the period outlined in Remedy 4?
  • Is the process arising from this request for arbitration now complete?

Clerk notes

Arbitrator views and discussion

  • While I do not think this has been formalized by motion, the committee did examine the result of the procedure as outline and endorsed the conclusion of the panel as satisfactory. Specifically, the procedures have been fulfilled, they are binding per remedy 4, and the committee now considers the matter to be closed. In practice, this means that the two year moratorium on further page move discussions is in force until September 18 2011. — Coren (talk) 20:17, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
