The Report on Lengthy Litigation

The Arbitration Committee closed one case last week, leaving two cases currently open.

Closed case

  • Yorkshirian: A case involving perceived incivility from Yorkshirian. As a result of the case, Yorkshirian was banned for one year.

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 two to three arbitrators, and opposed by one to two arbitrators.
    • A remedy suspending Geogre's administrative privileges for two weeks is supported by two arbitrators, and opposed by two.
    • Currently passing is a remedy prohibiting Geogre and Connolley from taking any administrative action with respect to Giano II.

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.
