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 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

WanYao vs. White Cell Team 06

This is pretty simple. White Cell Team 06 is listed in at least thirty-six (36) different suburbs (the proof) At one point, this group also had a large number of "broken" links on many suburb pages -- which I don't know if they've been fixed, and I have not checked yet. Meaning the number could be highter than 36. Also, last I checked, this group is not even listed on the Stats page (i.e. less than 10 members)! Yet they claim to be in at least 36 different suburbs?

I've already asked the group to fix this, via their Talk page. My request was brushed off, and no action has been taken.

I want this group to pick a reasonable number of suburbs (like 1-2, 3 or 4 at very outside) to list themselves in. Or, if they are a mobile group with no home base? Well... then... like many other mobile groups with no home base, they aren't listed anywhere... --WanYao 06:31, 27 September 2008 (BST)

Just remove them, i doubt they'll notice.--xoxo 06:36, 27 September 2008 (BST)
Thought about it... it might be easier to do that... But, they have a right to be listed... somewhere... We just need to figure out where the heck that is... And they don't seem to want to cooperate... at least, so far, that's been the case. Hmmmmmmnnn... --WanYao 07:08, 27 September 2008 (BST)
Under 10 members, i think 4 suburbs is very generous. Just delete them all and leave a talk page note saying that can restore up to 4 burbs of their choice. Fuck i'm starting to think maybe we should just remove those lists...--xoxo 07:11, 27 September 2008 (BST)
That's what I'm doing... 36 unbroken links found... one broken link found... Wanna help find their broken links, J3D? And gimme a count of how many you deleted, to back up this case if it needs to be re-opened. --WanYao 07:22, 27 September 2008 (BST)

WITHDRAWN -- I have simply removed all occurrances I could find (37 so far) of the group in the listings. And left a message on their talk page asking them (again) to re-list themselves in suburbs where they actually are operating. Hopefully, this will work itself out... but, if it doesn't, I shall re-open or re-submit this case. Thanks. --WanYao 07:34, 27 September 2008 (BST)
