*request administrative action against editorsan editor violating a remedy (not merely a principle) or an injunction in an Arbitration Committee decision, or a [[WP:AC/CT|contentious topic restriction]] imposed by an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]],

*request contentious topic restrictions against a [[Wikipedia:AC/CT#Awareness of contentious topics|previously alerted]] editorseditor who engageengages in misconduct in a topic area designated as a contentious topic,

*request [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics#Page_restrictions|page restrictions]] (e.g. revert restrictions) on pages that are being disrupted in topic areas designated as contentious topics, or

*[[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Procedures#Standard_provision:_appeals_and_modifications|appeal arbitration enforcement actions]] (including contentious topic restrictions) to uninvolved administrators.

For all other problems, including content disagreements or the enforcement of community-imposed sanctions, please use the other fora described in the [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution process]]. To appeal Arbitration Committee decisions, please use [[WP:ARCA|the clarification and amendment noticeboard]].

'''Only [[WP:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] users may file enforcement requests here;'''; requests filed by IPs or accounts less than four days old or with lessfewer than 10 edits will be removed. All users are welcome to comment on requests except where doing so would violate an active restriction (such as an [[WP:ECR|extended-confirmed restriction]]). If you make an enforcement request or comment on a request, your own conduct may be examined as well, and you may be sanctioned for it. '''Enforcement requests and statements in response to them may not exceed ''500 words and 20 diffs''''', except by permission of a reviewing administrator. [http://wordcounttools.com/ (Word Count Tool)] Statements must be made in separate sections. Non-compliant contributions may be removed or shortened by administrators. Disruptive contributions such as [[WP:NPA|personal attacks]], or groundless or [[WP:VEXBYSTERANG|vexatious]] complaints, may result in blocks or other sanctions.

[[File:Symbol information vote.svg|frameless|15px|link=|alt=]] {{emu|'''The scope of a discussion is limited to the conduct of two parties''': the filer and the user being reported.}} If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.

To make an enforcement request, click on the link above this box and supply all required information. Incomplete requests may be ignored. Requests reporting diffs older than one week may be declined as stale. To appeal a contentious topic restriction or other enforcement decision, please create a new section and use the template {{tl|Arbitration enforcement appeal}}.

Thank you for participating in this area. AE works best if there are a variety of admins bringing their expertise to each case. There is no expectation to comment on every case, and the Arbitration Committee (ArbCom) thanks all admins for whatever time they can give.

:* If you participate on this page you should be prepared to mete out potentially long term bans and you should expect reactive behavior from those banned.

:*Administrators who consistently make questionable enforcement administrative actions, or whose actions are consistently overturned by community or Arbitration Committee discussions may be asked to cease performing such activities or be formally restricted from taking such activities.

A couple of reminders:

:* The enforcement measures in arbitration cases should be construed liberally in order to protect Wikipedia and keep it running efficiently. Not all enforcement requests will show behavior restricted by ArbCom. It may, however, violate other Wikipedia policies and guidelines which you may use administrative discretion to deal with.

:* More than one side in a dispute may have Arbitration Committee conduct rulings applicable to them.

* Before commenting, please familiarise yourself with the referenced ArbCom case. Please also read all the evidence (including diffs) presented in the AE request.

:* Once an issue is resolved, enclose it between {{tl|hat}} and {{tl|hab}} tags, after which a bot should archive it in 7 days.

:* When a request widens to include editors beyond the initial request, these editors must be notified and the notifications recorded in the same way as for the initial editor against whom sanctions were requested. Where some part of the outcome is clear, a partial close may be implemented and noted underas ''"Result concerning X''".

:* You can use the templates {{tl|uw-aeblock}} (for blocks) or {{tl|AE sanction}} (for other contentious topic restrictions) to give notice of sanctions on user talk pages.

Closing a thread:

* Please consider [[WP:ARCA|referring the case to ARCA]] if the outcome is a recommendation to do so or the issue regards administrator conduct.

* Please log sanctions in the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log|Arbitration enforcement log]].

Thanks again for helping. If you have any questions, please post on the [[WT:AE|talk page]].
