UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration

Shortcut:
A/A

While the wiki community attempts to work on the basis of encouragement and cooperation, there are occasions where wiki users find themselves unable to reach accord. In the event of this happening, the Arbitration Team may be called upon to intervene, and attempt to find a reasonable compromise that, while perhaps not satisfying both parties, may at least assist in defusing the situation, thanks to the unbiased third party.

Guidelines for Arbitration Requests

In assisting in Arbitration, we generally suggest that both parties agree to the Arbitration. This is not, by any means, a requirement, but we do require that both parties be represented in proceedings.

Any Arbitration request should provide at least the following:

• The aggrieved parties. Either person vs person, or [list of people] vs [list of people].
• The reason for the arbitration. This should very specifically be without reference to people, as that information has already been provided. It should be a short paragraph indicating the causes of the aggrievement, and why both parties feel it requires arbitration
• Any pages affected by the aggrievement. This should be a simple list of links.

Once the Arbitration commences, the Arbitrator will request statements from all parties involved. Any evidence to back up one's statement should be provided in link form. Each party will then have an opportunity to rebut their opponent's statement. After these two steps, the Arbitrator will then consider the case, and reach a conclusion, and determine the outcome that is required. It's the duty of the Arbitrator to move a case he accepted to a subpage of UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration, and to update the status of the arbitration case in the Arbitration Cases in Progress section.

As a note, by requesting an Arbitration, all parties are thus obliged to accept the outcome of the Arbitration. Not doing will be considered Vandalism, and such vandalism attempts will be treated as if the vandal has already received two warnings.

After the Arbitration is over, it will then be moved to an archive page. As publicly accessible pages, they may be used to establish precedent in further, applicable cases.

Current Arbitrators

For guidelines on how to arbitrate, see Arbitration Guidelines.

The following users have placed their hand up as users who are willing to be contacted to act as an Arbitrator. The role of Arbitrator is not restricted to the Administration Team; any user can be contacted as an Arbitrator (even if not listed below) and use this page for the arbitration, so long as both parties agree to the Arbitrator. Users who wish to place their hand up as an Arbitrator should place their name below on the list, using *{{usr|YourUserPage}}

Also note that not all listed Arbitrators are active on the Wiki.

Arbitration Cases Currently Under Consideration

Administration Notice

Use this header to create new arbitration cases. Once all sides have chosen an arbiter, move the case to a sub-page of UDWiki:Administration/Arbitration and update its status in the Arbitration Cases in Progress section.

Cornholioo vs Michaleson, Good Grief and Poodle of Doom

A merge of three exactly the same cases (see below). It would be extremely helpful if we can handle this in one big case.--Thadeous Oakley 20:40, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Good Grief maintains they have no personal problem with User:Cornholioo and that his persistent ass hattery of our name will invoke the gods of wrath on top of him. As representative of Good Grief I have already denied his claim until he realizes who he really needs to bring an A/A on. --

I'm pretty sure you can't bring groups here. This is between individuals. Cornholioo, you can bring The Colonel to Arbitration but not his entire group. Once again, it would all be helpful if every party keeps the clutter under this header. Would all parties agree to accepting one arbitrator and treat this as a single case?--Thadeous Oakley 20:49, 12 April 2010 (BST)

you can check the archives--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 20:52, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Yes you can bring groups here if you want, you just need to be clear in why you want them here. As I stated before Good Grief currently is in vinetown, as their representative we do not have a problem with cornhole. If he were wise then he would focus on who to bring the arby to, but alas grandma must have said the hot pockets were done so he went to get them from her. --

Right. Good Grief has declined the process, stating they have no issue with corn. Corn seems to have made the case after misreading the colonels signature. That part of the case can immediately be dismissed. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:55, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Okedokey. We might as well strike that case out. Could you archive that case then, Ross? --Thadeous Oakley 20:59, 12 April 2010 (BST)

This is a big fucking mess, eh? Regardless, all cases revolve around a no-contact issue, though it would be most efficient to just prohibit everyone on the wiki talking to Cornholioo and vice versa :/ --Thadeous Oakley 20:58, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I remind you no where does it say you have to be nice, just because he keeps bringing these does not necessarily mean we have to accept them. Someone can simply deny his request and continue to poke him with a stick. --

See my past drama with SA. I have been pushed into arbitration before, you can't deny arbitration, if you do, the case will be ruled upon without your input. Of course, since Cornholioo specified not to pursue the case without you this doesn't matter for you. --Thadeous Oakley 21:03, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Volunteers to arbie all the cases collectively. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:10, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Again, I offer to arbitrate as well. --Thadeous Oakley 21:11, 12 April 2010 (BST)

And since Michealson and Poodle already accepted me below, if they agree with their cases being merged, all I need Cornholio's blessing. So? --Thadeous Oakley 21:14, 12 April 2010 (BST)

...you could go and ask him? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:17, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I would like to talk to poodle before Thad becomes arbite--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:19, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Actually, I was waiting for him. He's online, but yeah, I'll ask. --Thadeous Oakley 21:20, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Denied. Ik had al ongeveer 10 keer aangegeven dat ik niet publiekelijk over mijn idealen in debat ga. Vanwegen dit conflict twijfel ik aan je neutraliteit. --Cornholioo 21:22, 12 April 2010 (BST)

User:Misanthropy then?--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:23, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Slechte reden :P. Jouw idealen (en mijn mening hierover) staan hier volledig buiten. Het gaat over dat jij niet wilt dat de betreffende personen contact met je opnemen, en daarover, en alleen daarover, zal ik oordelen. Mijn mening doet er verder niet aan toe.--Thadeous Oakley 21:27, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Goed dan. I Accept. --Cornholioo 21:37, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I Deny Thad. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:39, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Since I have only a vague idea of what the two of you just talked about,... I refuse Thad as arbitrator... and furthermore, refuse to have the arbitrations joined. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 21:42, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I agree with Poodle, this man speaks sense--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:42, 12 April 2010 (BST)

You want to handle the cases individually? Lol, you people give me a headache.--Thadeous Oakley 21:46, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Oh, and for the record translation.: "Bad reason :P. Your ideals (and my opinion about it) are completely unrelated. This is about you not wanting the persons mentioned to stop contacting you, and about that, and only that, will I rule. My opinion does not matter beyond that." --Thadeous Oakley 21:46, 12 April 2010 (BST)

You suggested that they be joined, so don't try to pin that on me. And second of all, the only reason why I refused you as arbitrator is because I don't know what you said myself. I had a vague idea,... but not the whole thing. That said, I can't be sure that any bias was or wasn't occuring there. And if it's all the same,... I'll drop my case similarly to Devorac's latest,... and wait for the result of Michaleson's before proceeding with my own. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 21:52, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I'm not pinning anything on you. It's just that these cases revolve around the same thing so I thought it would be easier to merge them. Of course, if you don't want that than that's you free choice and I respect that. And sorry about the Dutch, I guess that did look a bit shady, the reason he denied me at first was because he thought I was biased because of his "ideals". I convinced him that I wasn't biased that's all. No secret conspiracy between two fellow countrymen or anything in that direction, I assume that's you meant. --Thadeous Oakley 21:57, 12 April 2010 (BST)

I quote you: "You want to handle the cases individually? Lol, you people give me a headache.--Thadeous Oakley 21:46, 12 April 2010 (BST)",... I don't know what you meant by that I guess. That said, the non-english was shady... But I trust your translations... I just don't feel confortable with your nominations now. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 22:11, 12 April 2010 (BST)

So two separate cases. These comments can be posted on both separate pages when they are created.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:48, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Actually,... I'd like to nominate Ross if the two cases stay joined.... Before you we go any farther,... please allow me to to contact Michaleson. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 22:11, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Denied. I don't know if there's any way to solve stuff like this quickly, but these kids are making fun of this. Not only of me but also of the arbitration of this wiki. I hope there can be delt this, severely. --Cornholioo 20:29, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Rosslessness told you how to deal with stuff like this. ;) —Aichon— 20:42, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Cornholioo vs Poodle of Doom

This guy keeps annoying me on my talk page. This is an example: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACornholioo&diff=1690318&oldid=1690313

He has been doing this before, so I'd like to have him banned from my talk page for some time. Thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cornholioo (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

Sorry for not signing. I sign it now, posted it about 15 minutes ago. --Cornholioo 18:58, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

I offer to arbitrate. --Thadeous Oakley 19:11, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Heres what you do. Post a message on the top of your talk page saying that poodles comments are unwelcome and that all such messages will be deleted. Inform him directly of this on his talk page. That's a fair warning. If he continues, then you use VB for "harrassment" or arbitration to get a restraining order. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:16, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Here you go. Formal request granted. No need for arbitration. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 19:38, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Simples. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 19:39, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Cycle to recently concluded arbies? -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 19:43, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Very mature of you son, to, even now, continue your swearing. --Cornholioo 19:58, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Sore winner much? You got what you want. Leave the guy alone. —Aichon— 20:01, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Huh? Where swears? 20:01, 12 April 2010 (BST)

His page. Also see the comment below this one. But ok I'll leave him. --Cornholioo 20:05, 12 April 2010 (BST)

The comment below was in response to your persistant antigonization,... thus proving the need for arbitration after there was none. Second of all... it's my user page. I'll post whatever I want, when I want to,... and I'll have no guff from you. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 20:16, 12 April 2010 (BST)

You know what,... on second thought,.... Screw you asshole. I accept Thad. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 20:04, 12 April 2010 (BST) I'm going to wait on Michalson's case first me thinks, before proceeding with my own.... -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 21:55, 12 April 2010 (BST)
