Motion to close
The Troubles: A case involving a large number of editors on articles related to
The Troubles. Some editors attempted to withdraw from the case when its scope was widened at the request of an arbitrator to cover the entire area rather than only the behaviour of
Vintagekits, but in accordance with
arbitration policy, these attempts, along with other changes to statements after the case opened, were reverted by the
clerk. If closed, any editors joining in the edit-warring on the articles in question would be liable to be placed on probation, and the indefinite ban of
Vintagekits would be lifted.
THF-DavidShankBone: A case involving alleged POV editing by
THF relating to
Michael Moore, and alleged harassment by

Allegations of apartheid: This case concerns the conduct of various editors in connection with a group of articles whose titles include the words "Allegations of apartheid". It has been alleged that these articles were created in violation of

Several users who have created and edited the "Allegations of apartheid" articles have strongly denied any inappropriate conduct. Voting on most proposals is split, but an amnesty for past actions currently has a majority, and a motion to dismiss the case has the support of five arbitrators.
