The
Arbitration Committee opened one new case this week, and closed two cases, leaving five currently open.
Closed cases
Waterboarding: A case involving a dispute between a large number of editors on
Waterboarding, relating to the question as to whether the technique should be described as torture. As a result of the case, the article was placed on article probation and a "general restriction" imposed.
Matthew Hoffman: A case involving controversial blocks of
MatthewHoffman by
Vanished user. As a result of the case, Vanished user was "provisionally" desysopped for six months, and Matthew Hoffman's block log was annotated to reflect the arbitrators' view that the blocks were unjustified.
Episodes and characters 2: A case involving alleged continuing disruption of articles concerning television series episodes and characters, following on from a
prior case. An
injunction has been enacted halting certain editing activities on these articles until the case is resolved. Kirill Lokshin has proposed remedies prohibiting
TTN from requesting merges, redirections or deletions of these articles, and instructing all parties to "cease engaging in editorial conflict and to work collaboratively to develop a generally accepted and applicable approach to the articles in question".
Ehud Lesar: A case involving a dispute involving
Ehud Lesar, with alleged sockpuppetry on his part and alleged harassment by
Fedayee,
Eupator and others. Sam Blacketer has proposed a remedy, with the support of Kirill Lokshin, finding that there is insufficient evidence of sockpuppetry and overturning the block.
Highways 2: A case involving editing by
NE2 on articles relating to
WikiProject U.S. Roads, allegedly against consensus of other editors involved with that wikiproject. A remedy has been proposed counselling editors to consider contributing outside of disputed articles.
