Revision as of 01:41, 7 February 2017

This is the central log for all sanctions issued pursuant to an Arbitration Committee contentious topics remedy in 2016 as well as any appeals or modifications made to sanctions issued in 2016.

The required information is the user or page the sanction is being applied to, enforcing administrator, date, nature of sanction, including expiry date (if applicable), basis or context (such as link to AE request), and a diff of the user notification (if applicable).

“

All sanctions and page restrictions must be logged by the administrator who applied the sanction or page restriction at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log. Whenever a sanction or page restriction is appealed or modified, the administrator amending it must append a note recording the amendment to the original log entry.

To be valid, sanctions must be clearly and unambiguously labelled as an arbitration enforcement action (such as with "arbitration enforcement", "arb enforcement", "AE" or "WP:AE" in the Wikipedia log entry or the edit summary). If a sanction has been logged as an arbitration enforcement action but has not been clearly labelled as an arbitration enforcement action any uninvolved administrator may amend the sanction (for example, a null edit or reblocking with the same settings) on behalf of the original administrator. Labelling a sanction which has been logged does not make the administrator who added the label the "enforcing administrator" unless there is confusion as to who intended the sanction be arbitration enforcement.

A central log of all page restrictions and sanctions (including blocks, bans, page protections or other restrictions) placed as arbitration enforcement (including contentious topic restrictions) is to be maintained by the Committee and its clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log.

Anita Sarkeesian: 500/30 restriction- editing prohibited to accounts newer than 30 days and/or with less than 500 edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:59, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Crash Override Network placed under 1RR. This restriction was previously put on the talkpage by Dreadstar, but may have been unintentional due to copy/paste issues and was not logged or discussed. Due to the unusual circumstance of the imposing administrator being deceased, I take ownership and endorse this restriction. I advise against sanctioning editors for any reverts that occurred prior to this logging due to ambiguity. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 00:19, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kashmir conflict and all articles related to the India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir (initially posted here. Modified Sept 2016: 1RR restriction removed and a first revert does not need to be explained on the talk page.):
A 1 RR restriction. Any attempt, even if made in good faith, to do more than one revert in a 24 hour period will lead to an immediate block.

A second revert without discussion restriction. A second revert of any edit, however minor, that is done without an explanation on the talk page will lead to an immediate block.

A civility restriction. Any suggestion that any editor is not editing in good faith will lead to an immediate block.

An ethnicity claim restriction Any attempt to bring the purported or deduced or imagined ethnic or nationality identities of any users will lead to an immediate block. This includes an editor's own stated ethnic identity or nationality. Wikipedia uses reliable sources and the weighting of those sources to decide what to include, what not to include, and how the content should be stated in an article. Please stick to arguments based on those factors.
