== Off-wiki misconduct in Palestine–Israel topic area ==

As ], the Arbitration Committee received private evidence appearing to reflect off-wiki misconduct related to several editors in the ]. The Committee sent a copy of the evidence to the users in question via email, notified them on their talk pages, and gave them an opportunity to respond. Based on the evidence and the responses, the matter has been resolved as follows:
Per <span class="plainlinks"></span> at ]:
<blockquote>1) The Arbitration Committee notes that the conditions put forward by remedies during the '']'' arbitration case were fulfilled to the Committee's satisfaction and that, as a consequence, remedy 4 ("'' no further page moves discussions related to these articles shall be initiated for a period of 2 years.''") is in force until September 18, 2011.
<br/><br/>
2) While the related matter of how to refer to Ireland/Republic of Ireland in other places (such as articles) is not directly covered by the aforementioned remedies, the Committee takes notes of the existence of a ''de facto'' consensus on the matter owing to the stability of the ] and enjoins the community to avoid needlessly rehashing the disputes.

===Follow-up===

The Arbitration Committee has reviewed a significant amount of information (including information that is covered by the ) in relation to the recent use of the Wikimedia interface to send spam emails to a large number of Misplaced Pages administrators. Based on this review, and with prior episodes in mind, the Committee will be requesting that developers give serious consideration to creating either (a) a reasonable throttle on the number of emails that can be sent from any account over a specific period or (b) a captcha process for sending emails, with the developers identifying preferred methods to address this. While the recent spamming was directed at administrators, it is not the first episode of email spamming in the past year, so it is time to consider preventative measures.

At the same time, we regret to advise that {{admin|Thatcher}} has resigned his checkuser and oversight permissions. Thatcher has admirably filled many roles related to the Arbitration Committee over the years, as an outstanding arbitration clerk, a wise and reliable arbitration enforcement administrator, and as a skilled and knowledgeable checkuser and oversighter. He was instrumental in the development of the Audit Subcommittee, and helped to set its parameters as a charter member of the subcommittee. He has been the voice of reason in many discussions, and both the Arbitration Committee and many other areas of the project will miss his well-reasoned input. We thank Thatcher for his many years of dedicated and professional work.

All of the sockpuppet accounts are now blocked indefinitely. As well, the SemBubenny and {{user|Mikkalai}} accounts, which are Altenmann's former usernames, have also been blocked indefinitely.

Altenmann is currently subject to an Arbitration Committee restriction, issued in March 2009 under his former username of {{user|SemBubenny}}, that specifically discusses his role in deletion of phobia-related articles.

2025 Arbitration Committee

The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning members following their election by the community. Their two-year terms formally begin on 1 January 2025:

The one-year terms of these members also begin on 1 January 2025:

Upon meeting the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public personal data and signing its corresponding confidentiality agreement, all incoming members will be subscribed to all Committee-managed email lists, assigned the CheckUser and Oversight permissions for use in office, and given access to the CheckUser and Oversight queues on the VRT system.

We also thank our outgoing colleagues, whose terms end on 31 December 2024:

Outgoing members are eligible to retain the CheckUser and Oversight permissions, to remain active on cases accepted before their term ended, and to remain subscribed to the functionaries' and arbitration clerks' mailing lists following their terms on the Arbitration Committee. To that effect:

  • Stewards are requested to remove the permission(s) noted from the following outgoing members, who have not chosen to retain them, after 31 December 2024:
    CheckUser: Firefly, L235
    Oversight: Firefly, Guerillero, L235, Moneytrees
  • Outgoing members are eligible to remain active on cases opened before their term ended if they wish. That will be noted on the proposed decision talk page of affected case(s).
  • All outgoing members will remain subscribed to the functionaries' mailing list.
  • All outgoing members will be unsubscribed from the clerks-l mailing list, with the exception of Firefly, Guerillero, and Moneytrees, who have chosen to remain subscribed.
