Shortcuts

Use this page to request the committee open an arbitration case. To be accepted, an arbitration request needs 4 net votes to "accept" (or a majority).

Arbitration is a last resort. WP:DR lists the other, escalating processes that should be used before arbitration. The committee will decline premature requests.

Requests may be referred to as "case requests" or "RFARs"; once opened, they become "cases". Before requesting arbitration, read the arbitration guide. Then click the button below. Complete the instructions quickly; requests incomplete for over an hour may be removed. Consider preparing the request in your userspace.

To request enforcement of an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. To clarify or change an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.

File an arbitration request

This page is for statements, not discussion.

If you must reply to another user's statement, do so in your own section (more information).
Your section must not contain more than 500 words (Word Count Tool; internal gadget). This includes your replies to other users. To request an extension, either make the request in your statement section or email the clerks email list.
Arbitrators or clerks may refactor or delete statements, eg off-topic or unproductive remarks, without warning.
Banned users may request arbitration via the committee contact page; don't try to edit this page.
Under no circumstances should you remove requests from this page, or open a case (even for accepted requests), unless you are an arbitrator or clerk.
After a request is filed, the arbitrators will vote on accepting or declining the case. The <0/0/0> tally counts the arbitrators voting accept/decline/recuse.
Declined case requests are logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Declined requests. Accepted case requests are opened as cases, and logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases once closed.

Statement by Cossde

I am submitting this request for arbitration due to the on going disruptive editing about Sri Lanka as highlighted by highlighted by Robert McClenon in [6] add Sri Lanka to WP:ARBPAK. There is a clear need to identify Sri Lanka as a contentious topic and authorize administrators engade in Arbitration Enforcement to deal with disruptive editing with sanctions such as topic-bans.

Designating Sri Lanka as a contentious topic: Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter <0/0/0>

Vote key: (Accept/decline/recuse)

As indicated at ARCA, I do not think this should be folded in with any existing cases, but there does seem to be a strong indication that regular dispute resolution has broken down. I will wait further comment from the community but my initial thinking is that we could designate this topic contentious without need for a full case, unless there is indication that certain parties must be removed from this sphere.
