The Report on Lengthy Litigation

By Ral315 and David Mestel, 14 April, 2008

The Arbitration Committee opened no new cases this week and closed two cases, leaving just two cases currently open.

Closed cases

  • Betacommand 2: A case involving the actions of Betacommand and others in relation to BetacommandBot, a controversial bot which tags some non-fair-use-compliant images. Betacommand's actions had previously been discussed on a subpage of WP:AN. As a result of the case, Betacommand was instructed to remain civil, refrain from making personal attacks, operate BetacommandBot within the scope of policies, and refrain from "further instances of untoward conduct". Other remedies adopted, urged Betacommand to be more responsive to good-faith questions, advised editors that images and media may be periodically reviewed for compliance with non-free content criteria, and asked the community to re-examine policies regarding image deletion, bot-assisted and otherwise, and consider whether any updating of the bot approvals group's procedures is warranted.

Voting phase

  • Prem Rawat: A case involving the actions of editors on Prem Rawat and related articles. A remedy that would place Rawat-related articles on article probation currently passes, and another, more recently proposed remedy instructing editors with a possible or perceived conflict of interest to comply with Misplaced Pages policies on NPOV and conflict of interest has the support of four arbitrators.
