Arbitration motions regarding ARBPIA5 topic bans

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by a series of motions that:

Iskandar323 (talk · contribs) has violated their topic ban. ([1][2][3]). Iskandar323 was previously warned by Tamzin on 21 February ([4]) and blocked for 2 weeks by ScottishFinnishRadish ([5]) on 26 November for violating their topic ban.

Since their topic ban in WP:ARBPIA5, Iskandar323 has been engaged in consistently non-neutral editing around the history of Judaism ([6][7][8][9][10][11][12]). This is a continuation of the misconduct that led to the original topic ban.

Iskandar323 is indefinitely banned from the English Wikipedia. This ban may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.


Levivich (talk · contribs) has violated their topic ban. ([13][14])

Levivich is warned for violating their topic ban imposed in Palestine-Israel articles 5.


Violations of restrictions directly imposed by the Arbitration Committee on a specific editor may be reported directly to the Committee via Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment (AR/CA). Unless there are privacy concerns or other factors that are unsuitable for public discussion, emails sent to the Committee about violations will not be acted upon and may be discarded without a response by the Committee. As a general principle, good-faith reports will be directed to AR/CA, and other reports will be ignored.

Based on an explicit finding that a topic ban from the Arab-Israeli conflict has been insufficient to prevent disruption, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may extend an existing topic ban to include other topics related to Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs. They should cite at least one diff pertinent to each area into which the ban is extended.
