This page lists requests by the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] that it feels need to be enforced by [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]]. Administrators are not required to enforce these rulings but they are required not to stop those who do. ''Only Arbitration Committee members and clerks can add new items to this page.'' If a block is needed, then the administrator who conducts it should record it on the "log of blocks and bans" on the respective case page. ''Newer requests at top.''

This page contains only active parts of a decision. For the full ruling, please see the respective decision page.

==[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Abtract-Collectonian|Abtract and Collectonian]]==

{{userlinks|Abtract}} shall not interact with, or comment in any way (directly or indirectly) about, Collectonian, on any page in Wikipedia; harass or wikistalk Collectonian such as by editing pages that Collectonian has recently edited; or make uncivil comments about or personal attacks upon any user.

These restrictions imposed upon Abtract shall be interpreted in a reasonable fashion so as to allow Abtract to continue with appropriate editing while preventing any further harassment of Collectonian. Any attempts to "game the system" or "wikilawyer" the details of the restrictions are unwelcome. Should Abtract violate the restrictions imposed upon him, he may be blocked for an appropriate period of time by any uninvolved administrator, with any blocks to be logged [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Abtract-Collectonian#Log of blocks and bans|here]]. Collectonian is urged to continue to avoid any unnecessary interaction with Abtract.

== Arbitration Committee motions for discretionary sanctions ==

The Arbitration Committee has rendered decisions passing two motions to apply discretionary sanctions remedies to three prior cases. Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the areas of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.

The areas of conflicts have been defined as "articles which relate to pseudoscience, broadly interpreted" for the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Martinphi-ScienceApologist|Martinphi-ScienceApologist]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Pseudoscience|Pseudoscience]] cases, and as "articles which relate to Eastern Europe, broadly interpreted" for the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Digwuren|Digwuren]] case.

The final text of the motions can be found at the case pages linked above.

== [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes|Footnoted quotes]] ==

This arbitration case has been closed and the full final decision is available [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes|here]]. In short, the remedies passed were:

*[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes#Special enforcement on biographies of living persons|Special enforcement on biographies of living persons]]: a special enforcement on [[WP:BLP|biography of living persons]] (BLP) articles is authorised, whereby administrators uninvolved with an article may, for that BLP, "''use any and all means at their disposal to ensure that every Wikipedia article is in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the biographies of living persons policy''". Administrators are authorised to utilise their [[WP:PROTECT|protection]] and [[WP:BLOCK|blocking]] tools as necessary to ensure that the article complies with Wikipedia's BLP policy, and are also directed to actively counsel any editors whos actions fail to comply with the BLP policy. Administrators are cautioned not to reverse or modify such actions without clear community consensus to do so; appeals against restrictions put in place may be made to either: the relevant administrators' noticeboard; or, the arbitration committee directly. Before any article-based restrictions are extended to an individual editor, this counselling must take place: restrictions put in place should be logged at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Special enforcement log]], with relevant links to attempts to counsel the editor. The full text of this special enforcement is available [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes#Special enforcement on biographies of living persons|'''here''']].

*[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes#Alansohn restricted|Alansohn restricted]]: {{userlinks|Alansohn}} is subject to an editing restriction for one year, whereby he may be blocked for making any edits judged by an administrator to be be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, for "up to a week in the event of repeated violations".

== [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Mantanmoreland|Mantanmoreland]] ==

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Wikipedia's role with respect to serious off-wiki or "real world" controversies and disputes is to provide encyclopedic coverage of such matters from a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] where they are [[WP:N|notable]] and sufficiently documented in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. Neither Wikipedia's mainspace article content, nor its administrative and dispute-resolution procedures culminating in Arbitration, are intended or may be used as a vehicle for off-wiki disputes such as those involving the financial markets or legal or regulatory issues. Actions related to the articles involved, including [[naked short selling]], [[overstock.com]], [[Patrick M. Byrne]], the (now-redirected article) <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Judd_Bagley&redirect=no Judd Bagley]</span>, and [[Gary Weiss]], have been repeatedly disruptive and have had serious implications both on and off wiki. Any current of future editor making substantial edits to these articles is direct ed:

:(A) To edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account;

:(B) To edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration;

:(C) To edit in accordance with all Wikipedia policies and to refrain from any form of [[WP:SOAP|advocacy]] concerning any external controversy, dispute, allegation, or proceeding; and

:(D) To disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page.

Any uninvolved admin may impose reasonable restrictions, after warning, upon involved articles or editors. Knowledgeable and uninvolved editors are urged to review these articles to ensure accuracy, fairness, and adherence to wiki policies. [[User:Mantanmoreland]], under any current or future account, is banned from editing articles related to Gary Weiss, Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com, Naked Short Selling, and other mainspace articles in the area of dispute, broadly construed. He may make suggestions on talk pages, subject to the requirements of remedy 1. [[User:Mantanmoreland]] is directed to edit Wikipedia from only a single user account and to advise the Arbitration Committee of any change of username, and to edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration.

==[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Waterboarding|Waterboarding]]==

This Arbitration case has closed, and the final decision may be reviewed through the above link. Further to the relevant findings of fact, [[Waterboarding]] and all closely-related pages are subject to [[Wikipedia:General sanctions#Types of sanctions|article probation]] ([[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Waterboarding#Article probation|full remedy]]); editors working on [[Waterboarding]], or closely related pages, may be subject to an editing restriction at the discretion of any uninvolved administrator, whereby any edits by that editor which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, may result in a block. ([[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Waterboarding#General restriction|full remedy]]).

Should any user subject to an editing restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be briefly blocked, up to a week in the event of repeated violations. After 5 blocks, the maximum block length shall increase to one year ([[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Enforcement by block|full enforcement]]). Before such restrictions are enacted on an editor, he or she must be issued with a warning containing a link to the decision.

In light of continued disputes, remedy 4 adopted in [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Free Republic]] is amended by adding:

:"Additionally, any uninvolved administrator may impose a reasonable editing restriction (for example, 1RR) or page ban upon any editor who repeatedly engages in disruptive or uncivil editing of [[Free Republic]] or any closely related page. Prior to imposing such a ban or restriction, a warning should be given on the affected user's talkpage. All bans and restrictions shall be logged at [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Free Republic#Log of blocks and bans]]."

:All editors, particularly including [[WP:SPA|single purpose accounts]] and editors who have or may reasonably be perceived as having a [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]], are strongly urged to edit [[Free Republic]] and related articles only in conformity with all Wikipedia policies and with this committee's prior decision. If the enhanced administrator authority provided in this ruling does not improve the situation on this article after 30 days, a request for a more formal Arbitration Committee review may be submitted.

==Ban on editors involved in [[Bogdanov Affair]]==

All user accounts used by participants in the external controversy (involving the Bogdanov Affari) are banned from Wikipedia pending resolution of this matter. The criteria for determining external involvement shall be a review of their edit history, it being presumed that if the vast majority of their edits were to the [[Bogdanov Affair]] and related pages such as this arbitration that they are not Wikipedia editors but persons involved in the external dispute. This group includes: {{Vandal|YBM}}, {{Vandal|XAL}}, {{Vandal|ProfesseurYIN}}, {{Vandal|Igor B.|Igor_B.}}, {{Vandal|CatherineV}}, {{Vandal|82.123.187.53}}. {{Vandal|Laurence67}}, {{Vandal|EE Guy|EE_Guy}}, {{Vandal|82.123.46.149}}, {{Vandal|82.123.57.232}}, {{Vandal|Luis A.|Luis_A.}} and all others who meet the criteria. {{User|Rbj}}, a regular Wikipedia editor, and {{User|Ze miguel|Ze_miguel}}, a new editor who has edited other areas, are banned from editing [[Bogdanov Affair]], pending resolution of this matter.

A less restrictive injunction [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Regarding The Bogdanov Affair/Proposed decision#Ban on editing Bogdanov Affair]] is under consideration and may replace the total bans. [[User:Fred Bauder|Fred Bauder]] 19:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

==AI==

* [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/AI]]

* AI (under any username) is banned from Wikipedia pending the final resolution of all legal disputes with Wikipedia. Any edits AI attempts to make until this time, under any account or IP, should be immediately reverted.

* AI is instructed to use only this account, and no anonymous IPs. What editing constitutes AI's is up to any sysop to decide. If AI violates this, any sysop is authorised to ban them for up to a month for one-off offences, and up to a year for repeat offences.

* Further, AI is banned from refactoring dialogue on talk pages, or rearranging any talk page, including material which constitutes "personal comments" or personal attacks (this applies to all talk pages except AI's own user talk page), and also banned from editing any article related to the Church of Scientology. If AI violates either of these, any sysop is authorised to ban them for up to 24 hours for one-off offences, and up to a week per violation for repeat offences.

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The remedies that have been adopted are as follows;

*Should {{userlinks|Alden Jones}} resume editing Wikipedia, he shall be assigned a volunteer mentor, who will be asked to assist him in understanding and following policy and community practice to a sufficient level that additional sanctions will not be necessary.

*{{userlinks|Alden Jones}} is limited to one revert per page per week, with the exception of simple vandalism; and is required to discuss all content reverts on the relevant talk page. Should he violate this restriction, he may be blocked by any administrator as provided in the enforcement ruling below.

*{{userlinks|Boodlesthecat}} is banned from Wikipedia for a period of one year.

*{{userlinks|Deacon of Pndapetzim}} is admonished to avoid edit-warring.

*{{userlinks|Greg park avenue}} is banned from Wikipedia for a period of one year.

*{{userlinks|Irpen}} is urged to avoid interacting directly with or commenting about {{userlinks|Piotrus}} under any circumstances, except for any necessary commentary in the course of bona fide dispute resolution.

*{{userlinks|Irpen}} is limited to one revert per page per week, with the exception of simple vandalism; and is required to discuss all content reverts on the relevant talk page. Should he violate this restriction, he may be blocked by any administrator as provided in the enforcement ruling below.

*{{userlinks|Lokyz}} is admonished to avoid edit-warring.

*Should {{userlinks|Lokyz}} make any comment deemed by an administrator to have been incivil, a personal attack, or an assumption of bad faith, he may be blocked by any administrator as provided in the enforcement ruling below.

*{{userlinks|Piotrus}} is urged to avoid interacting directly with or commenting about {{userlinks|Irpen}} under any circumstances, except for any necessary commentary in the course of bona fide dispute resolution.

*{{userlinks|Piotrus}} is cautioned to avoid using his administrator powers or status in situations in which his involvement in an editing dispute is apparent.

*{{userlinks|Piotrus}} is admonished to avoid edit-warring.

*{{userlinks|Poeticbent}} shall be assigned one or more volunteer mentors, who will be asked to assist him in understanding and following policy and community practice to a sufficient level that additional sanctions will not be necessary.

*{{userlinks|Relata_refero}} is admonished to avoid edit-warring.

*Editors are reminded that when editing in subject areas of bitter and long-standing real-world conflict, it is all the more important to comply with Wikipedia policies such as [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] of all editors including those on the other side of the real-world disputes, writing with a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]], remaining [[WP:CIVIL|civil]] and [[WP:NPA|avoiding personal attacks]], utilizing [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] for contentious or disputed assertions, and resorting to [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] where necessary. Wikipedia cannot solve any of the national, ethnic, historical, or cultural disputes that exists among the nations and peoples of Eastern Europe or any other real-world conflict. What Wikipedia can do is aspire to provide neutral, encyclopedic coverage about the areas of dispute and the peoples involved in it, which may lead to a broader understanding of the issues and the positions of all parties to the conflict. The contributions of all good-faith editors on these articles who contribute with this goal in mind are appreciated.

*Editors who find it difficult to edit a particular article or topic from a neutral point of view and adhere to other Wikipedia policies are counseled that they may sometimes need or wish to step away temporarily from that article or subject area. Sometimes, editors in this position may best devote some of their knowledge, interest, and effort to creating or editing other articles that may relate to the same broad subject-matter as the dispute, but are less immediately contentious. For example, an editor whose ethnicity, cultural heritage, or personal interests relate to Group X and who finds himself or herself caught up in edit-warring on an article about a recent war between Group X and Group Y, may wish to disengage from that article for a time and instead focus on a different aspect of the history, civilization, and cultural heritage of Group X.

*Administrators who utilize the #wikipedia-en-admins IRC channel (or other IRC channels in which Wikipedia-related matters are discussed) are reminded that while the #admins channel has legitimate purposes, they should bear in mind whenever using it:

:(A) That discussing an issue on IRC necessarily excludes those editors who do not use IRC from the discussion (and excludes almost all non-administrators from the discussion if it takes place in #wikipedia-en-admins), and therefore, such IRC discussion is never the equivalent of on-wiki discussion or dispute resolution;

:(B) That the practice of off-wiki "block-shopping" is strongly deprecated, and that except where there is an urgent situation and no reasonable administrator could disagree with an immediate block (e.g., ongoing blatant or pagemove vandalism or ongoing serious BLP violations), the appropriate response for an administrator asked on IRC to block an editor is to refer the requester to the appropriate on-wiki noticeboard; and

:(C) That even though the relationship between the "wikipedia" IRC channels and Wikipedia remains ambiguous, any incidents of personal attacks or crass behavior in #wikipedia-en-admins are unwelcome and reflect adversely on all users of the channel.

*Following the conclusion of this case, the Committee will open a general request for comments regarding the arbitration enforcement process, particularly where general sanctions are concerned. Having received such comments, the Committee will consider instituting suitable reforms to the enforcement process.

*Following the conclusion of this case, the Committee will convene a community discussion for the purpose of developing proposed reforms to the content dispute resolution process.

*Following the conclusion of this case, the Committee will publish guides to presenting evidence and using the workshop page.
