About this page

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

Guidance on participation and word limits

Unlike many venues on Wikipedia, ArbCom imposes word limits. Please observe the below notes on complying with word limits.

Motivation. Word limits are imposed to promote clarity and focus on the issues at hand and to ensure that arbitrators are able to fully take in submissions. Arbitrators must read a large volume of information across many matters in the course of their service on the Committee, so submissions that exceed word limits may be disregarded. For the sake of fairness and to discourage gamesmanship (i.e., to disincentivize "asking forgiveness rather than permission"), word limits are actively enforced.
In general. Most submissions to the Arbitration Committee (including statements in arbitration case requests and ARCAs and evidence submissions in arbitration cases) are limited to 500 words, plus 50 diffs. During the evidence phase of an accepted case, named parties are granted an automatic extension to 1000 words plus 100 diffs.
Sectioned discussion. To facilitate review by arbitrators, you should edit only in your own section. Address your submission to arbitrators, not to other participants. If you wish to rebut, clarify, or otherwise refer to another submission for the benefit of arbitrators, you may do so within your own section. (More information.)
Requesting an extension. You may request a word limit extension in your submission itself (using the {{@ArbComClerks}} template) or by emailing clerks-llists.wikimedia.org. In your request, you should briefly (in 1-2 sentences) include (a) why you need additional words and (b) a broad outline of what you hope to discuss in your extended submission. The Committee endeavors to act upon extension requests promptly and aims to offer flexibility where warranted.
- Members of the Committee may also grant extensions when they ask direct questions to facilitate answers to those questions.
Refactoring statements. You should write carefully and concisely from the start. It is impermissible to rewrite a statement to shorten it after a significant amount of time has passed or after anyone has responded to it (see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines § Editing own comments), so it is often advisable to submit a brief initial statement to leave room to respond to other users if the need arises.
Sign submissions. In order for arbitrators and other participants to understand the order of submissions, sign your submission and each addition (using ~~~~).
Word limit violations. Submissions that exceed the word limit will generally be "hatted" (collapsed), and arbitrators may opt not to consider them.
Counting words. Words are counted on the rendered text (not wikitext) of the statement (i.e., the number of words that you would see by copy-pasting the page section containing your statement into a text editor or word count tool). This internal gadget may also be helpful.
Sanctions. Please note that members and clerks of the Committee may impose appropriate sanctions when necessary to promote the effective functioning of the arbitration process.

General guidance

This page is for statements, not discussion.
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 Arglebargle79 ===
-If you look at the [[United States presidential election, 2020|2020 presidential election page]] you will notice that it's not particularly good. The simple fact is, is that at this point in time, the campaign is all about [[Donald Trump|President Trump]], who like it or not, already has a campaign committee which is raising money and paying for rallies indistingishable from those he had last year.
-For some reason Callmemirela and one or two others are horrified by this and keep deleting my good faith edits to improve the damn thing. Two candidates on the Republican side are on the "interested section" for the Republicans and one of them was joking. The other was one what might call, very minor and barely qualifies as notable.
-There is a picture of Trump, but is in the wrong place, and so is the paragraph on incumbency which should be in the Republican section. I tried to change this but [[User talk:Callmemirela|Callmemirela]] keeps on reverting my edits. I've tried to reason with him/her, but....
-=== Statement by Callmemirela ===
-Thank you for the note [[User:Amortias|Amortias]]. As for this case, I don't know why it's here. Firstly, this is a content dispute. It doesn't belong here. Secondly, Arglebargle79 has not attempted enough to resolve this issue. This includes going to the talk page extensively to come up with a solution or understand why it's being opposed, requesting RfC, going to a resolution board, seeking third opinions, etc. The only efforts they've done is readding their edits after editors opposed to them and continually (very little of it though and also weirdly) arguing their case on the talk page. They haven't bothered to reach a consensus at all. Thirdly, I am not the only party here. Other editors should be included. They have been told by numerous editors to also stop it. I don't know I'm being singled out. Also, this user seems to think that it's being opposed because we aren't fans of Trump. I wouldn't let my views and judgment come in the way of my editing. All in all, this is a content dispute and does not belong here. It belongs on the talk page. I have told ArgleBargle79 this ''plenty'' of times. Open up a discussion and, if you don't agree, go to RfC and not arbitration.

-=== Statement by Beyond My Ken ===
-This is clearly a content dispute, and on those grounds I urge the Committee not to take it as a case.  Even if there were behavioral issues (and what content dispute doesn't come connected with behavioral issues?), they certainly hasn't come to fruition. [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 00:21, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
-=== Statement by Davey2010 ===
-This should be declined as per the above - It's a content dispute and therefore should be discussed at the relevant noticeboards, Also apologies for piling on but I figured it might help in some way ?, Thanks, –[[User:Davey2010|<span style="color: blue;">'''Davey'''</span><span style="color: orange;">'''2010'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Davey2010|<span style="color: navy;">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 01:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
-===Statement by Softlavender===
-{{U|Arglebargle79}}, your edit history is not extensive, so you are excused for misunderstanding, but despite its title, the '''Arbitration Committee''' does not arbitrate content disputes -- only longterm and as-yet-unresolved (despite many efforts) ''behavioral'' problems. Go back to the article's talk page, and continue to voice your concerns in a polite and collaborative way. Politics is a contentious area, so you have my sympathies, but Callmemirela is an experienced editor and I'm sure they will help you navigate the ins and outs of content-dispute resolution (and the different options available for that) if you ask. Remember that Wikipedia operates on consensus and policy, not on personal preferences, so your own preferences may not win the day even after content-dispute resolution is pursued. I hope that helps. [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 01:50, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
-=== Statement by {Non-party} ===
-Other editors are free to make relevant comments on this request as necessary. Comments here should address why or why not the Committee should accept the case request or provide additional information.

-*{{replyto|Arglebargle79|Callmemirela}} Have asked around for contrary views, but a quick review supports Callmemirela's argument re this being a) a content dispute, which is not a matter for Arbcom; and b) something that would need to go through several other stages of dispute resolution before it ended up here. Arglebargle79, if you disagree you're very welcome to add to your statement explaining why this request meets the preconditions for Arbcom consideration. Otherwise, suggest you withdraw it and try (perhaps) an RfC. -- [[User:Euryalus|Euryalus]] ([[User talk:Euryalus|talk]]) 23:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

-*The [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution policy]] outlines that Arbitration is the last resort measure. Typically content issues are able to be resolved through mediation or community consensus building. At this point I would say it's a standard procedural decline and I would recommend the filing party to thoroughly read [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration]] if they believe they will need to come back here if DR does not succeed.
