Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Fringe science was amended following this request for clarification. ScienceApologist has been banned from the site for three months; his previously instated topic ban for six months restarts upon the expiry of this new site ban.

The Arbitration Committee opened no cases this week, and closed one, leaving five cases open.

Evidence phase

  • West Bank - Judea and Samaria: A dispute about editor behavior in discussions about naming conventions for certain Israel- and Palestine-related locations.
  • MZMcBride: A case brought after administrator MZMcBride deleted numerous "secret pages". This case is reviewing administrator conduct by MZMcBride only, and is not ruling on the appropriateness of the pages themselves. MZMcBride was admonished for his administrator actions in a previous Request for Arbitration.
  • Prem Rawat 2: A case concerning the continued behavioral problems on the pages about Prem Rawat, and related articles. A previous case, Prem Rawat, was closed in May of last year.
  • Date delinking: A case regarding the behavior of editors in the ongoing dispute relating to policy on linking dates in articles. An injunction has been issued prohibiting large-scale linking or delinking of dates until the case is resolved.

Voting

Closed

  • Ayn Rand: A case about editorial behavior, such as alleged POV-pushing and bad faith, in relation to the Ayn Rand article. The Arbitration Committee accepted the case as they found that all other avenues of dispute resolution had failed to resolve the dispute. The remedies for the case topic banned several editors from Ayn Rand and related articles, and fully banned TheJazzFan from the site for one year.
