The Arbitration Committee did not open or close any cases this week, leaving three currently open.

An apology

I must apologise to readers for taking my eye somewhat off the ball, and failing to notice until TML kindly brought it to my attention the desysopping of Can't sleep, clown will eat me, in a summary motion, on 18 July, pending his contacting the committee. This was on the basis of his failure to communicate regarding a large number of administrative actions he had taken.

Evidence phase

• SlimVirgin-Lar: A case brought by Thatcher, asking the committee to review the use of checkuser by Lar, in the light of comments by SlimVirgin (here, inter alia), alleging that he misused the tool. Evidence is to be submitted privately to the committee by e-mail.

Voting phase

• Geogre-William M. Connolley: A case involving wheel warring between Geogre and William M. Connolley. William M. Connolley inappropriately extended a block on Giano II, while Geogre inappropriately reversed the block, and reversed page protection on Giano's talk page. The case is currently in the voting phase; proposed remedies include:
  • Four different versions of a remedy modifying or removing remedy 2.2 in IRC. All versions are supported by four to five arbitrators, and opposed by three to four arbitrators.
  • Currently passing is a remedy prohibiting Geogre and Connolley from taking any administrative action with respect to Giano II. There is also injunction in effect prohibiting blocks or unblocks of Giano without the consent of a committee member.

Motion to close

• C68-FM-SV: A case involving disputes between Cla68, FeloniousMonk, SlimVirgin, JzG, and others. The case, which has seen little-to-no public input from arbitrators, is currently subject to a motion to dismiss, with the support of one arbitrator, and the opposition of one.
