Please use this page <u>only</u> to:

Enforcement requests against users may be brought if a user is likely to be acting in breach of the remedies in a closed arbitration case, or a passed temporary injunction (for open cases).

*request administrative action against editors violating a remedy (not merely a principle) or an injunction in an Arbitration Committee decision, or a [[WP:AC/DS|discretionary sanction]] imposed by an administrator,

*request discretionary sanctions against [[Wikipedia:AC/DS#Awareness and alerts|previously alerted]] editors who engage in misconduct in a [[Wikipedia:AC/DS#Current areas of conflict|topic area subject to discretionary sanctions]], or

*[[Wikipedia:AC/DS#Appeals and modifications|appeal discretionary sanctions]] 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]].

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. 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 [[vexatious]] complaints, may result in blocks or other sanctions.

Enforcement is not "dispute resolution". '''ArbCom decisions''' are the last stop of [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. ArbCom has already decided that the actions and behaviors in the remedies are not constructive to our purpose of building an encyclopedia and has ruled they should not recur. The question here is whether or not that prohibition was breached.

To make an enforcement request, click on the link above this box and supply all required information. To appeal a discretionary sanction or other enforcement decision, please create a new section and use the template {{tl|Arbitration enforcement appeal}}.

'''Requesting enforcement:'''

;{{hat|Information for administrators processing requests}}

Enforcement requests and statements in response to them may not exceed 500 words and 20 diffs, except by permission of a reviewing administrator. Statements must be made in separate sections. Non-compliant contributions may be removed or shortened by administrators. Disruptive contributions may result in blocks.

Anyone requesting enforcement who comes with [[unclean hands]] runs the risk of their request being summarily denied or [[WP:Don't shoot yourself in the foot|being sanctioned themself]].

At the discretion of the administrator processing the request, editors who repeatedly file substantially meritless requests may be sanctioned for disrupting the Arbitration Enforcement process; editors who file clearly groundless, [[frivolous]], [[vexatious]], or bad-faith requests may be similarly sanctioned, '''even for a first offense'''.

Arbitration Enforcement is ''not'' the place for anything other than enforcement of a closed Arbitration Committee ruling. It is '''not''' for:

:* ''Content disputes'', unless (very rarely) there is a content dispute prohibition in place. Use [[WP:3O|Third opinion]], [[WP:DRN|Dispute resolution noticeboard]], [[WP:Mediation Committee|formal mediation]], or [[WP:Requests for comment|Requests for comment]] for content issues.

:* ''Conduct not covered by the ruling''. A [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment|Request for amendment]] may be filed if the existing sanctions are inadequate, or help may be requested at the [[WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|administrators' incident noticeboard]].

:* ''Proposed decisions'' (other than passed temporary injunctions). A proposed decision is '''not''' enforceable until the case is formally closed. Bad behavior on arbitration case pages should be reported on the [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee/Clerks|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] and you should consider noting the behavior on the /Evidence page of the case, and in some cases requesting a temporary injunction until the case is completed.

:* ''Community or administrator decisions'', breach of these should be raised at the [[WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|administrators' incident noticeboard]] or in exceptional cases, cited as evidence in a [[WP:RFAR|request for arbitration]].

'''Conduct on this page:'''

Most editors under Arbitration Committee sanctions are neither trolls nor vandals and should be treated with the same respect as any other editor. We should still [[WP:Assume good faith|assume good faith]]. Arbitration Committee decisions are designed to be coercive, not punitive. Messages posted here that egregiously violate Wikipedia's [[WP:Civility|civility]] or [[WP:No personal attacks|personal attacks]] policies will be redacted and may be deleted.

;Using this page

'''To submit a request for enforcement''', use the link in the box above.

Please be aware that as a user requesting arbitration enforcement, it is ''your responsibility'' to supply all information required for administrators to determine whether enforcement is required. Your request may otherwise be declined without further action.

;Appeals

Arbitration decisions may provide that appeals against sanctions imposed under the decision are to be appealed to this noticeboard or to another community forum. For such appeals the template {{tl|Arbitration enforcement appeal}} may be used.

;Information for administrators

:* 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.

:* In March 2010, the [[WP:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]] passed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case&diff=prev&oldid=349939789 a motion] which stated that administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except:

:* Once an issue is resolved, enclose it between {{tl|hat}} and {{tl|hab}} tags, after which a bot should archive it in 3 days.

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