About this page

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

Guidance on participation and word limits

Unlike many venues on Wikipedia, ArbCom imposes word limits. Please observe the below notes on complying with word limits.

Motivation. Word limits are imposed to promote clarity and focus on the issues at hand and to ensure that arbitrators are able to fully take in submissions. Arbitrators must read a large volume of information across many matters in the course of their service on the Committee, so submissions that exceed word limits may be disregarded. For the sake of fairness and to discourage gamesmanship (i.e., to disincentivize "asking forgiveness rather than permission"), word limits are actively enforced.
In general. Most submissions to the Arbitration Committee (including statements in arbitration case requests and ARCAs and evidence submissions in arbitration cases) are limited to 500 words, plus 50 diffs. During the evidence phase of an accepted case, named parties are granted an automatic extension to 1000 words plus 100 diffs.
Sectioned discussion. To facilitate review by arbitrators, you should edit only in your own section. Address your submission to arbitrators, not to other participants. If you wish to rebut, clarify, or otherwise refer to another submission for the benefit of arbitrators, you may do so within your own section. (More information.)
Requesting an extension. You may request a word limit extension in your submission itself (using the {{@ArbComClerks}} template) or by emailing clerks-llists.wikimedia.org. In your request, you should briefly (in 1-2 sentences) include (a) why you need additional words and (b) a broad outline of what you hope to discuss in your extended submission. The Committee endeavors to act upon extension requests promptly and aims to offer flexibility where warranted.
- Members of the Committee may also grant extensions when they ask direct questions to facilitate answers to those questions.
Refactoring statements. You should write carefully and concisely from the start. It is impermissible to rewrite a statement to shorten it after a significant amount of time has passed or after anyone has responded to it (see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines § Editing own comments), so it is often advisable to submit a brief initial statement to leave room to respond to other users if the need arises.
Sign submissions. In order for arbitrators and other participants to understand the order of submissions, sign your submission and each addition (using ~~~~).
Word limit violations. Submissions that exceed the word limit will generally be "hatted" (collapsed), and arbitrators may opt not to consider them.
Counting words. Words are counted on the rendered text (not wikitext) of the statement (i.e., the number of words that you would see by copy-pasting the page section containing your statement into a text editor or word count tool). This internal gadget may also be helpful.
Sanctions. Please note that members and clerks of the Committee may impose appropriate sanctions when necessary to promote the effective functioning of the arbitration process.

General guidance

This page is for statements, not discussion.
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 Xtremedood ===
-I was recently topic banned from topics related to religion and Pakistan-India by [[user:JzG]]. JzG left a message here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xtremedood&oldid=753811285#Topic_ban] on my talk page informing me of my ban but providing no judgement based on WP policy. As I have mentioned in the discussion, there are a total of four referenced articles [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=754250493#Apparent_attempts_at_censorship] that the complainant referenced, and I have justified my edits based on sound Wikipedia policy and legitimate reasons (see discussion). None of the editors have even attempted to engage me in dialogue on the matter, even though I have started several discussions on the talk pages of the articles (see discussion). I have also been harassed online and threatened by group(s) who have clear bias. Also, none of the topics referenced have anything to do with Pakistan-India topics and are religious topics. Therefore, I am looking for clarification, based on Wikipedia policy, as to why I have been indefinitely topic banned on this topic and religion. WP policy clearly states that consensus is not based on the tally of votes. I believe that I have been unjustly topic banned due to biased non-NPOV tendencies among certain editors who have misrepresented my edits in the discussion and including some who have historically collaborated to work together to propagate Islamophobic content based on bias, discrimination, fallacies, and factually incorrect materials. Wikipedia should not be the place in which such POV's take precedence over objective analysis of the materials. [[User:Xtremedood|Xtremedood]] ([[User talk:Xtremedood|talk]]) 17:46, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
-=== Statement by JzG ===
-This is in the wrong place, it should be at clarifications and amendments or AE, I think.
-That was my assessment of the consensus at the ANI discussion here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=753809428#Apparent_attempts_at_censorship] - I would remind Xtremedood that not accepting the basis in policy does not mean there isn't one, there was input from a decent number of very experienced Wikipedians. Of course Xtremedood doesn't accept the consensus - hence the need for a topic ban. That's pretty much how it goes. Other uninvolved admins are welcome to review it, I have no dog in this fight and I try to stand back from any such reviews. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 20:17, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
-=== Statement by BU Rob13 ===
-This is a community-implemented topic ban. Even though it overlaps with a discretionary sanctions topic area, this is not an AE action, so this really doesn't belong at any ArbCom-related venue. There's no substantive complaint here about the validity of the ban discussion or its closure, so this should be declined. Per the [[Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Appeals_of_bans_imposed_by_the_community|banning policy]], this editor may appeal to the community after six months. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small><sub>13</sub></small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 21:29, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

-=== Statement by Wiki id2 ===
-Prior attempt at dispute resolution has not been made, due to ad hominem attacks by Tiger7523, has accused TownsHill of "chauvinism" rather than assume good faith as he provided two references, and has threatened me, with blackmail "bias towards a certain country. You will be standing alone if you do that... there are people on Wikipedia that can vouch for me." I assume he means I'm biased because I am a Pakistani person - I myself found this offensive and a crude chauvinistic attack on my personal character. I therefore, believe that the dispute resolution should be done by the experienced editors on the arbitration committee. Also, I haven't been on the arbitration committee before so once I have filed this form please can experience users direct me as to how I can provide further information.
-Please see this link for the edit warring: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistan&diff=754478934&oldid=754475805
-I myself have not looked at the reference as TownsHill has.
-Tiger7523 removed Pakistan being a "regional power" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistan&diff=753704130&oldid=753670950 and stated then that there was nothing in the reference which referred to Pakistan as a regional power.
-TownsHill then provided not one but two references: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pakistan&diff=754182253&oldid=754180913
-Only for Tiger7523 to remove it stating that "Post-1971 the only regional power in the subcontinent is India. Please refrain from making chauvinistic edits."
-I then undid this, stating that he assumed bad faith by accusing TownsHill of "chauvinism" and that there were two references provided. I stated his opinion that "Post-1971 India is the '''only''' regional power" is violation of WP:NOR (no original research)
-Therefore I would like to request this case to be opened. Kind regards, (<font face="Forte">[[User:Wiki id2|<span style="color:red;background:white">Wiki id2</span>]][[User talk:Wiki id2|<span style="color:white;background:red">(talk)</span>]]</font> 22:47, 12 December 2016 (UTC))

-===Statement by [[User:Robert McClenon]]===
-If this is about [[Pakistan]] (or [[India]]), then the topic area has already been considered by a previous ArbCom and [[WP:AC/DS|discretionary sanctions]] are available.  I suggest that the filing party read [[WP:BOOMERANG|the boomerang essay]] and then consider a request to [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]].  I know that the ArbCom already knows not to rehash this.  Why are so many trivial requests being filed in 48 hours? [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 01:51, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
