Closed cases

- Commodore Sloat-Biophys: A case wherein Biophys alleged that Commodore Sloat has been incivil and has edit-warred, while Sloat denied the allegations and alleged that Biophys has not been cooperative in the dispute. As a result of the case, the parties were instructed to refrain from interacting with or commenting about each other in any way.
- Alkivar: A case involving alleged misuse of administrative tools by Alkivar, including protection of a page in a dispute in which he was allegedly involved, an indefinite block of Equazcion, and a banner on his userpage stating that "comments left by anonymous editors may be removed without warning". As a result of the case, remedies were enacted desysopping Alkivar and forbidding him from reapplying through RfA, and banning Burntsauce as a meatpuppet of JB196.

Voting phase
