Shortcuts

Use this page to request the committee open an arbitration case. To be accepted, an arbitration request needs 4 net votes to "accept" (or a majority).

Arbitration is a last resort. WP:DR lists the other, escalating processes that should be used before arbitration. The committee will decline premature requests.

Requests may be referred to as "case requests" or "RFARs"; once opened, they become "cases". Before requesting arbitration, read the arbitration guide to case requests. Then click the button below. Complete the instructions quickly; requests incomplete for over an hour may be removed. Consider preparing the request in your userspace.

To request enforcement of an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. To clarify or change an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.

File an arbitration request

This page is for statements, not discussion.

If you must reply to another user's statement, do so in your own section (more information).
Your section must not contain more than 500 words (Word Count Tool; internal gadget). This includes your replies to other users. To request an extension, either make the request in your statement section or email the clerks email list.
Arbitrators or clerks may refactor or delete statements, e.g. off-topic or unproductive remarks, without warning.
Banned users may request arbitration via the committee contact page; don't try to edit this page.
Under no circumstances should you remove requests from this page, or open a case (even for accepted requests), unless you are an arbitrator or clerk.
After a request is filed, the arbitrators will vote on accepting or declining the case. The <0/0/0> tally counts the arbitrators voting accept/decline/recuse.
Declined case requests are logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Declined requests. Accepted case requests are opened as cases, and logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases once closed.

Statement by Khabboos

In the article on Hinduism in Pakistan, I wrote that a mob ransacked a temple at Nowshera in 2005, with this as a reference - '"Mob ransacks temple in Nowshera". http://www.dawn.com/news/145745/mob-ransacks-temple-in-nowshera. DAWN MEDIA GROUP. June 30, 2005. Retrieved 31 January 2014.', which said the same thing, but User:AcidSnow is continuously removing it, so please tell me what to do. He is also stalking me around wikipedia and reverting my edits.

Response to statement by User: AcidSnow : {Mediation and Arbitration are not forum shopping} Khabboos (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Statement by AcidSnow

What? Why did you make a second one? All you are doing is continuing your forum shopping which is not allowed. I don't understand what you are trying to achieve from this. As for reverting your edits and "stacking" you, I have no desire to harm you and I am only removing your disruptive edits. I am not the only one that has done this. Joshua Jonathan has also said what I am doing is okay. Khabboos, it is forum shopping as using Arbitration is getting help from an Admin which falls under Admin shopping.

Statement by Robert McClenon

Isn't this dispute (to the extent that it is clear what the dispute is) within the scope of WP:ARBIP, which places all articles about Pakistan under discretionary sanctions, largely due to disputes such as this one? Shouldn't any conduct issues be taken to arbitration enforcement instead of requesting new arbitration? Robert McClenon (talk) 21:04, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hinduism in Pakistan: Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter <0/6/0/0>

Vote key: (Accept/decline/recuse/other)

Decline Arbitration is supposed to be the absolute last stop in dispute resolution. The committee will only involve itself in prolonged issues that the community has failed to resolve through lesser means. That does not appear to be the case here. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:56, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose this would fall under the discretionary sanctions from the case mentioned above. Any uninvolved admin can step in act as needed, but all parties need to be informed of the sanctions first. (that rule may be changing in the very near future but I believe it is still policy at the moment) Beeblebrox (talk) 01:06, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline, any issues here should be handled by standard dispute resolution, and any conduct problems can be handled by existing discretionary sanctions. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 07:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Decline, this appears to be a content dispute, per above. Worm^TT(talk) 11:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with my colleagues that this dispute is not ripe for arbitration yet and suggest that it be referred to WP:AE. $Salvio$ ^{Let's talk about it!} 11:18, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Decline. T. Canens (talk) 16:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Decline per above. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
