The
Arbitration Committee closed one case this week and did not open any cases, leaving four currently open.
Closed case
CAMERA lobbying: A case involving lobbying by pro-Israel group
Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) on Middle East-related articles. The main remedy imposed by the Commitee confirms the sanctions imposed by administrators (an indefinite ban of
Gni, a one-year ban of
Zeq, and a one-year ban on Arab-Israeli topics for
Dajudem). Other remedies provide a general amnesty for other editors who may have been involved in the lobbying group, urge community members to forward evidence about all forms of external group-lobbying to the Committee, and admonish
Hypnosadist to "maintain an appropriate level of professionalism at all times, and to avoid misrepresenting Wikipedia policy to other editors."
Giovanni33: A case involving the accusation of sockpuppetry by
Giovanni33. Giovanni33 and
Rafaelsfingers, who has been labeled as a sockpuppet of Giovanni33 by some, have denied the charges.
Voting phase
Homeopathy: A dispute involving a number of editors over the
Homeopathy article. Remedies with the support of five to seven arbitrators include banning
DanaUllman for one year, the creation of a "Sourcing Adjudication Board" regarding the inappropriate use of citations, and emphasizing the Committee's ability to issue subsequent sanctions in the case, based on reports of "inappropriate conduct" as judged by the Sourcing Adjudication Board. Another remedy, with the support of five arbitrators, allows uninvolved administrators to impose sanctions on editors involved in Homeopathy-related articles, for various reasons.
Motion to close
Footnoted quotes: A case involving the use of quotes in footnotes, and general concerns with the
biographies of living persons policy. Currently, one arbitrator supports closing the case, with none opposing. Remedies supported by eight arbitrators encourage more enforcement of the BLP policy, and impose a one-year restriction banning
Alansohn from making any edits judged to be "uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith". The latter remedy allows his blocking, without warning, should he violate it.
