Currently, there are no requests for arbitration.

No cases have recently been closed (view all closed cases).

This noticeboard's primary purpose is to to attract the attention of the clerks to a particular matter by non-clerks. Non-clerks are welcome to comment on this page in the event that the clerks appear to have missed something.

The clerks may be contacted privately, in the event a matter could not be prudently addressed publicly (i.e., on this page), by composing an email to clerks-llists.wikimedia.org; only the clerk team and individual arbitrators have access to emails sent to that list.

A procedural reference for clerks (and arbitrators) is located here.

Pending actions

Clerks and trainees, please coordinate your actions through this section, so that we don't have multiple clerks working on the same cases at the same time. An IRC channel, #wikipedia-en-arbcom-clerks and a mailing list are also available, although the mailing list is low traffic and has a public archive.

To be opened

Cases may be opened by clerks or trainees 24 hours after the fourth net vote to accept has been made.

Motions and temporary injunctions

Motions and temporary injunctions are made by arbitrators on /Proposed decision. Temporary injunctions require 4 net support votes to pass (each "oppose" subtracts a "support"). Other motions have the same majority for passage as the case itself.

To be closed

Cases may be closed by clerks or trainees after the fourth net vote to close, but generally wait at least 24 hours after the first motion to close. In cases where the arbitrators have disagreed and not all the findings or remedies have passed, wait at least 24 hours after the final close vote is cast to give other arbitrators a chance to raise objections.

Reassignment/breaks

Generally, the clerk or trainee who opens a case should follow the progress of the case and be available to answer questions from the parties. If for any reason you need someone to take over one or more of your current cases (too busy, wikibreak, etc.), post a request here.

• You guys are probably aware of this already, but I'm on a partial wiki-break in the sense that I'm not active on wiki because of real life things that must be dealt with (curse of me being a student!). Should I be needed, though, mailing list as well as my talk page are ways to get me. - Penwhale | 20:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • No problem. You're not currently on a case, anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem. Good luck with exams and whatnot. Anthøny 15:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
• My router has died, and I'm currently unavailable, until a replacement arrives. Except (like now) when I can pop into an internet cafe, I'll be completely unavailable. My only case is now closed, so this shouldn't be a problem, but just a heads up. Anthøny 14:25, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Other work

Discussion for all other and miscellaneous issues, that are not covered by the above sections, but are related to a particular case. Please note that general discussion related to the arbitration process and clerking should go to #General discussion, rather than here.

Arbitrator announcements

Arbitrators, please note if you wish to declare yourself active or away/inactive, either generally or for specific cases. The clerks will update the relevant cases as needed. If you are returning, please indicate whether you wish to be: 1) Put back to active on all cases; 2) Left on inactive on all open cases, and only put to active on new cases; or 3) Left to set yourself to active on cases you wish (remember to update the majority on its /Proposed decision).

• I'm away until Apr 19. I will move myself to active or inactive as desired. Thanks. Paul August ☎ 15:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
