Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests
Wikipedia:Resolving disputes contains the official policy on dispute resolution for English Wikipedia. Arbitration is generally the last step for user conduct-related disputes that cannot be resolved through discussion on noticeboards or by asking the community its opinion on the matter.
This page is the central location for discussing the various requests for arbitration processes. Requesting that a case be taken up here isn't likely to help you, but editors active in the dispute resolution community should be able to assist. |

ARCA template[edit]
I've just filed a request for clarification, using the built-in process at WP:ARCA. The {{Arbitration clarification request}} template tells you to remove certain lines if the request does not concern a specific case, but if you don't give a title paramater, it puts code in the section header, and if you create a title but remove the other two parameters, it auto-generates them anyway, meaning you have to remove them again after posting, as I just did. Seems like this could use some tweaking to make it more user-friendly. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Why 500 edits to edit the talk page?[edit]
When was it decided that the number of edits needed to edit the talk page should be the same as to edit the article? It doesn't make any sense.

- Here's the log. Sean.hoyland (talk) 13:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
The logs don't provide an answer to the question. Where is the discussion where the decision was reached to only allow extended confirmed users to participate on talk pages about the Arab-Israeli conflict? Joe vom Titan (talk) 16:47, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- [1] is where, and that is an Arbitration motion, not an AE thread. (Despite what the log says, I can't find anywhere the protection was discussed on AE in the timeframe provided; it was likely done ad hoc as a discretionary sanction.) It should be noted that motion only became a thing because the talk page was practically unusable. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:59, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
