Shortcuts

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

This page is for statements, not discussion.

If you must reply to another user's statement, do so in your own section (more information).
Your section must not contain more than 500 words (Word Count Tool; internal gadget). This includes your replies to other users. To request an extension, either make the request in your statement section or email the clerks email list.
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 Wikieditor662

It started when Graham87 suggested I was a sockpuppet and told me that I deserve to be banned in #Composer is a common word under User talk:Wikieditor662. This was despite sufficient evidence (it was because I redirected the word "composers" to a timeline of composers, and linked the word on a bunch of composers' articles, and if I recall correctly I stopped after being told not to do this. He also said my edits seemed weird for a newcomer) which I believe to be a violation of the Wikipedia:Assume good faith and later I was told also Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers. In dispute resolution, where usedtobecool explained why there was no point in calling me a sockpuppet if he wasn't sure, and Graham87 admitted that he has become less kind to newcomers because of his past experiences. Softlavender then commented calling me a "timesink" because I sometimes question the more experienced members (although I usually do what they say) and because some of my edits were undiscussed, reverted, and seemed to be too advanced to a newcomer -- all of which I don't believe count as sufficient evidence and again violate the previously mentioned policies. Thank you. Wikieditor662 (talk) 21:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
