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.

Cornholioo vs Good_Grief

Annoying me on my page. I have told them further messages of them on my page are unwelcome, after which they continued: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACornholioo&diff=1690416&oldid=1690411 --Cornholioo 20:09, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Is anybody noticing a pattern with the recent arbie cases? Infrastructure 20:10, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Objection! This user is not part of said group and is in no way afflicted with The Colonel!--^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 20:12, 12 April 2010 (BST)

Whilst I know of Michaelson he is in no way affiliated with Good Grief as such he cannot be brought here under those statements. Further more as Good Grief currently is assaulting Spanish Inquisition I do not see how it is possible that they can be trolling you on the wiki. --

I think I don't need to explain much more. --Cornholioo 20:12, 12 April 2010 (BST)

As leader of Good Grief I find this to be a sham, in no way shape or form does Good Grief currently have a problem with Cornholioo, as such I request Cornholioo get his facts straight next time before requesting an arbitration. Do to the flaws in his request here I deny that Good Grief has a problem with him. --

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)
