The
Arbitration Committee opened two cases this week, and closed four cases. One requested case was not accepted, following the desysopping of an involved administrator.
Certified.Gangsta-Ideogram: A case involving the actions of
Certified.Gangsta and
Ideogram, both of whom
Durova and others alleged to have been involved in edit-warring on
Taiwan-related articles.
Ideogram, who had also been accused of improper behaviour on the
community noticeboard, denied the allegations. Certified.Gangsta presented evidence, in which he alleged that Ideogram has engaged in canvassing, wikistalking, and orchestrating an anti-Certified.Gangsta campaign. He also denies Durova's allegiations. As a result of the case, both parties were placed on revert parole, and Ideogram was admonished to "fully adhere to all Wikipedia policies".
Betacommand: A case involving the actions of
Betacommand. Some of Betacommand's blocks were questioned, and his bot-related actions led to his removal from the
bot approvals group. Betacommand noted that he makes numerous username-related blocks, and that most of his blocks were appropriate. Whether Betacommand used his administrative account for bot-related activity, whether he is unique in doing so, and whether such an action should be allowed or not, were also questioned. As a result of the case, Betacommand was desysopped.
Mudaliar-Venki123: A case involving the actions of
Mudaliar and
Venki123 on a series of articles. As a result of the case, both parties were banned for one year.

Piotrus: A case involving administrator
Piotrus (
talk·contribs) and other editors on Eastern Europe related articles. Multiple parties accuse others of edit warring, incivility, unethical behavior and biased editing. (An earlier arbitration case,
Piotrus-Ghirla, was dismissed
without prejudice in part due to inactivity of
Ghirlandajo (
talk·contribs), who was listed a party in the new case.)
TingMing: A case involving the actions of
TingMing (
talk·contribs).
Ideogram (
talk·contribs) alleges that he has engaged in "controversial edits", edit warring, incivility, and possibly sockpuppetry. TinMing denies the allegations, and alleges incivility on the part of Ideogram.
Transnistria: A case involving the actions of
MariusM (
talk·contribs) and
William Mauco (
talk·contribs) on

Tobias Conradi (
talk·contribs) who, while acknowledged as a productive contributor, has been called incivil on various occasions.
Zeq-Zero0000: A case involving the actions of
Zeq (
talk·contribs) and
Zero0000 (
talk·contribs). Zero alleges that Zeq has engaged in POV-pushing, while Zeq alleges that Zero has misused administrative tools in blocking him, the case in particular involving the question of whether probations, article bans, etc. can be enforced by involved admins.
Falun Gong: A case regarding the conduct of various editors on the
Falun Gong article.
Olaf Stephanos and
Asdfg12345 allege that
Samuel Luo has edit-warred in removing pro-Falun Gong material from the article, while Luo,
Tomananda and others allege that Stephanos, Asdfg and others have edit-warred (including page blanking) in removing anti-Falun Gong material. If passed,
Falun Gong would be placed on
article probation,
Mcconn placed on revert parole, and Samual Luo and Tomananda banned from editing the articles or their talk pages.
