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 in Progress

Poodle of Doom versus DanceDanceRevolution

Personally, I'm only here on a limited basis. I'm just trying to get by, and do my thing. I made a goof of some sort, and attempted to remedy it. I'd appreciate not being antagonized. I can tolerate some comments made in jest. However, I'd prefer that the provocation stop. I know that this will never be a reality, due to an inability to enforce any sort of mandate on such a thing. I am, however, seeking arbitration, as I doubt it will stop through my asking. I refuse to consent to it, and I am hoping something can be worked out via our mutual aggreement with an arbitrator. -Poodle of DoomT*C 00:41, 24 September 2011 (BST)

I volunteer to arbitrate.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 00:56, 24 September 2011 (BST)

I'm not attempting to be difficult, or make this process in any way ineffctive, however I'd ask one simple thing. Could I ask that you provide a few examples of times in recent history in which you arbitrated? I'm not looking for anything in particular, and relevance to this request is not necessary. -Poodle of DoomT*C 01:02, 24 September 2011 (BST)
I'm curious, why does his IT BEGINS warrant harrasment in your opinion? Because from here it seems pretty harmless. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 01:04, 24 September 2011 (BST)
It's a reference to the mass deletions that I set up on my way out the door the last time. DDR created a group with the same Acronym as mine at the time, and turned the redirect to the group into a disambugious page. Basically, I asked about this, and if I could still use the page, as there were minor differences between the acronym my group used, and his. Basically, it was EVIL for my group, and E.V.I.L for his. None the less, when I couldn't use it soley for my puposes, I decided to leave for a while and take some time of. In the mean time, I took the (over)500 pages of my group, and placed them up for speedy deletion, which is what they're playing at. That said, there's been some mocking in the past. But I digress, I may or may not of earned the one I just referenced. I'm not exactly remembering how that one came about. None the less, on my way out, DDR was one of a few who I had a problem with. But at this point, I'm getting off topic. -Poodle of DoomT*C 02:26, 24 September 2011 (BST)
Not really, it's about your guy's personal history then it's relevant.--Karekmaps 2.0?! 01:41, 25 September 2011 (BST)
Bearing in mind how few arbitration cases there actually are, I have two with: Corn v Mis and ZL v Bobbobo.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 01:16, 24 September 2011 (BST)
With all due respect intended, I'd like to hold off on officially accepting, or denying you for the moment. I'd like to weigh in on other options for the time being. -Poodle of DoomT*C 03:01, 24 September 2011 (BST)

I have an even better idea! How about you get over it? -- Cat Pic.png Thadeous Oakley Talk 06:56, 24 September 2011 (BST)

Uncalled for, and unconstructive. Great. -Poodle of DoomT*C 06:58, 24 September 2011 (BST)

I'll do it. --Hey Sweden! 07:06, 24 September 2011 (BST)

I appreciate the offer, but I respectfully decline. Thanks for the offer. -Poodle of DoomT*C 16:04, 24 September 2011 (BST)

As I think that you both are schmucks, I consider myself perfectly neutral for these arbies. -- Spiderzed 19:04, 24 September 2011 (BST)

As much as I'd like to decline, I'd like to ask you the same general question as I have Yonnua. Could I ask that you provide a few examples of times in recent history in which you arbitrated? I'm not looking for anything in particular, and relevance to this request is not necessary. -Poodle of DoomT*C 04:10, 26 September 2011 (BST)

I've caught myself up on the history of this and, actually, am willing to throw my hat in since it seems like I'm the most neutral either of you will get here. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 01:40, 25 September 2011 (BST)

Same as above, could I ask that you provide a few examples of times in recent history in which you arbitrated? I'm not looking for anything in particular, and relevance to this request is not necessary. -Poodle of DoomT*C 04:10, 26 September 2011 (BST)
