Administrators are not required to enforce these rulings but they are required not to stop those who do. Only Arbitration Committee members and clerks can add new items to this page. If a block is needed, then the administrator who conducts it should record it on the "log of blocks and bans" on the respective case page. Newer requests at top.

Need admin on Forrest Griffin article

I am requesting an admin to enforce the rules on Forrest Griffin. User:Swampfire has repeatedly reverted cited and referenced material on the article despite being warned not to continue to do so. In his opinion, this MMA fighter's victory was not controversial and thus should not be said so in the article. I have shown him four separate sources that all discuss this fight going down as one of the most controversial decisions in MMA. Even his own sources have shown it to be controversial (he tried to use a poll on a site as evidence and it turns out over half of the votes disagreed with the decision.) He claims that unless the President of the UFC says it is controversial then it is not. This is fallacy as something being determined controversial or not is not made by one man, but the public at large. Please prevent him from making bad faith reversions. --Xander756 (talk) 23:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Xander insists on adding the word controversial to the unanimous decision victory of Forrest Griffin. Which for starters is against WP:DUE because it is only a tiny faction that say this. And it is mainly centered around the man that said he would retire if Forrest won. Also I believe it goes against [WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:BLP as well. I have even stated this will removing. And pointed out WP:NN when he states because he has a reference it should be allowed. As Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and not a news site, and should be written in Encyclopedic form and not news journalism form. With that being said it should be unanimous decision and not controversial decision, as i point out here [1] Swampfire (talk) 22:33, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Also I do not feel as this needs to be here as he did not even bother giving other methods a chance.Swampfire (talk) 23:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Homeopathy

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available here. In short, the remedy passed that requires admin enforcement is:

• Discretionary sanctions: Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict (defined as articles which relate to homeopathy, broadly interpreted) if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes

This arbitration case has been closed and the full final decision is available here. In short, the remedies passed were:

• Special enforcement on biographies of living persons: a special enforcement on biography of living persons (BLP) articles is authorised, whereby administrators uninvolved with an article may, for that BLP, "use any and all means at their disposal to ensure that every Wikipedia article is in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the biographies of living persons policy". Administrators are authorised to utilise their protection and blocking tools as necessary to ensure that the article complies with Wikipedia's BLP policy, and are also directed to actively counsel any editors whos actions fail to comply with the BLP policy. Administrators are cautioned not to reverse or modify such actions without clear community consensus to do so; appeals against restrictions put in place may be made to either: the relevant administrators' noticeboard; or, the arbitration committee directly. Before any article-based restrictions are extended to an individual editor, this counselling must take place: restrictions put in place should be logged at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Special enforcement log, with relevant links to attempts to counsel the editor. The full text of this special enforcement is available here.
• Alansohn restricted: Alansohn (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) is subject to an editing restriction for one year, whereby he may be blocked for making any edits judged by an administrator to be be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, for "up to a week in the event of repeated violations".

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Prem Rawat

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Evidence presented did not disclose a history of problematic editing, in terms of basic content policy, by Jossi, and the Committee commended Jossi's self-imposed restriction to edit only talk pages for Prem Rawat related articles. Due to a history of incivility and personal attacks surrounding articles related to the Prem Rawat movement, the preexisting community enforced one-revert rule on Prem Rawat and related articles that commenced March 4, 2008, has been superceeded by Arbitration Committee enforced article probation.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Mantanmoreland

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. Wikipedia's role with respect to serious off-wiki or "real world" controversies and disputes is to provide encyclopedic coverage of such matters from a neutral point of view where they are notable and sufficiently documented in reliable sources. Neither Wikipedia's mainspace article content, nor its administrative and dispute-resolution procedures culminating in Arbitration, are intended or may be used as a vehicle for off-wiki disputes such as those involving the financial markets or legal or regulatory issues. Actions related to the articles involved, including naked short selling, overstock.com, Patrick M. Byrne, the (now-redirected article) Judd Bagley, and Gary Weiss, have been repeatedly disruptive and have had serious implications both on and off wiki. Any current of future editor making substantial edits to these articles is direct ed:

(A) To edit on these from only a single user account, which shall be the user's sole or main account;

(B) To edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration;

(C) To edit in accordance with all Wikipedia policies and to refrain from any form of advocacy concerning any external controversy, dispute, allegation, or proceeding; and

(D) To disclose on the relevant talk pages any circumstances (but not including personal identifying information) that constitute or may reasonably be perceived as constituting a conflict of interest with respect to that page.

Any uninvolved admin may impose reasonable restrictions, after warning, upon involved articles or editors. Knowledgeable and uninvolved editors are urged to review these articles to ensure accuracy, fairness, and adherence to wiki policies. User:Mantanmoreland, under any current or future account, is banned from editing articles related to Gary Weiss, Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com, Naked Short Selling, and other mainspace articles in the area of dispute, broadly construed. He may make suggestions on talk pages, subject to the requirements of remedy 1. User:Mantanmoreland is directed to edit Wikipedia from only a single user account and to advise the Arbitration Committee of any change of username, and to edit only through a conventional ISP and not through any form of proxy configuration.
