The last step of Wikipedia:Dispute resolution is Arbitration, (see arbitration for a general overview of the topic). If, and only if, all other steps have failed, and you see no reasonable chance that the matter can be resolved in another manner, you may request that it be decided by the Arbitration Committee.

See Wikipedia:Arbitration policy, Wikipedia:Arbitrators, /Admin enforcement requested

Earlier Steps

Please review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for other avenues you should take before requesting Arbitration. If you do not follow any of these routes, it is highly likely that your request for Arbitration will be rejected.

Current requests for Arbitration

The procedure for accepting requests is described in the Arbitration policy. Be brief - put a quick list of the nature of the complaints. Link to detailed evidence elsewhere if you need to. New requests to the top, please.

The numbers in the ====Comments and votes by arbitrators (0/0/0/0)==== sections correspond to (Accept/Reject/Recuse/Other).



Tim Starling

He has created User:Tim Starling/Password matches, which is not only an invasion of my privacy; but, it is inaccurate since i have changed my password. Lirath Q. Pynnor

Comments and votes by arbitrators (0/3/0/0)

  1. Reject - this was already hashed out on the mailing list and found to be OK by Jimbo and others. Lir - your persistent listing of other users on this page is bordering on trolling. Stop it. -- mav 06:39, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  2. Reject, for the same reasons listed by mav. Also, I'd like to point out that Lir also listed this page on the VFD and it was a landslide there too. →Raul654 06:37, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)
  1. Reject Fred Bauder 11:42, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

172

172 has been reverting me at New Imperialism and he refuses to discuss the matter. I request that the arbitration committee examine this uncooperative behaviour. Lirath Q. Pynnor

I strongly request that User:172 be examined by the arbitration committee, regarding a general tendancy towards edit wars and incivility. Sam [Spade] 04:09, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

See Dialogue below for an interaction. Sam [Spade] 22:19, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I also request that User:172 be examined by the arbitration committee, because of his extensive edit wars with VeryVerily, and Lir.--Plato 22:08, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

A note: 172's proposed solution to the problem at New Imperialism was a poll between the two versions - virtually identical to what Lir did at one point on Saddam Hussein. I'm interested in how Lir distinguishes between the two. Snowspinner 12:52, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your concern. I do not recall ever requesting a poll at Saddam Hussein -- however, we will take your point into consideration. Lirath Q. Pynnor

172 has repeatedly deleted contributions by others in the "Evidence" section. I'm disturbed by his actions in this regard - surely a party in an arbitration case should not be permitted to delete contributions by other parties? The issue is being discussed at [1]. -- ChrisO 19:30, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sam Spade, Lir, and Plato did not follow dispute resolution procedure so they should also be considered defendants. 172 14:05, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Actually, we have -- but you continue to reject mediation. Lirath Q. Pynnor

Evidence

If people could refrain from removing evidence, that'd certainly help. I don't appreciate my job being made more difficult. Thanks. Martin 17:51, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Dialogue

Comments and votes by arbitrators (1(+1)/0/2/0)

  1. Recuse Fred Bauder 12:18, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)
  2. Accept. James F. (talk) 03:23, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  3. Leave hanging while the two existing Lir cases are resolved - the outcome of those two may render arbitration in this case unnecessary. Martin 23:52, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  4. Recuse - Involves Lir which biases me in favor of 172. --mav 09:58, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
