"The injunction included in last week's Signpost coverage" -- that's a very cryptic way to describe it. So cryptic, I was compelled to follow the link to understand what this was about. Turns out this refers to the "Preliminary injunction regarding pending changes and biographies of living persons", otherwise known as the latest chapter in the dispute over Pending changes. I suspect that the ArbCom seriously considered taking on this long-running dispute, took one look at the latest go-around, & grabbed the first excuse to drop the matter. (I'll stop here before I add my opinion about Pending changes.) -- llywrch (talk) 06:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you say, briefly, what each arbitration case is basically about? I mean, what is the basic dispute about? Thanks -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:58, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See earlier reply. The regular readers need to come to some agreement on what they don't want (or in this case, want). Compare last year's coverage with this year's coverage - is that what you were after? Ncmvocalist (talk) 06:27, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"how about [...] links to previous reports; or automatically hidden transcluded pages being previous case reports?" -- Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost#Only new info in arbitration reports? -- Jeandré, 2011-06-06t13:16z

Ah thank you for that (I think I was away at the time that was posted); for this week (starting 6 June) where the cases are in week 6, I included a link to week 1. Will look into this suggestion more over the next couple of months (and will at least trial the transclusion suggestion during that time). Ncmvocalist (talk) 06:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
