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.

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}}

SA vs. Thadeous Oakley

I simply want him banned from editing pages in my name space. Sure, I can remove and revert anything he does currently, but I want it to where he can not edit anything of mine at all. Shouldn't be too hard to get this done and over with. I'll pretty much accept any arbitrator, but would definitely prefer someone who will run through this quick and try to make it funneh, without damaging either party.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 22:01, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Can I perhaps has arbitration as arbitrator? --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 22:03, 7 June 2009 (BST)

You know, you could just ask me. Or make it clear in your rules (Like Izzy doesn't allow admin's). Still, this is a stupid idea. You are majorly responsible for moving and deleting my comments. How am I suppose to contact you then?--Thadeous Oakley 22:07, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Right. User:MisterGame is aware of the case. Do you want to discuss it between yourselves or want a formal arbitration? If its the second option, than thad must agree and confirm his choice of arbie. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:11, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Go through someone else or pick some else to talk to. Izzy's rules aren't binding in anyway, we can break the rules wihtout them being Vandalism. I want mine binding. You are continuously a pest. I'm going through with this.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 22:18, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Oh that's nice. Said sysop may edit or move, or otherwise mop my comments but I cannot discuss this with said sysop. The only way I am going to agree with this is if you leave any editing from me, malicious or not, alone and leaving it for other sysops.--Thadeous Oakley 22:24, 7 June 2009 (BST)

Y'see, here's the thing. I'd have no problem with you on my page if you'd follow what few rules I have. Your blink template gave me a head ache. For nothign. So I banned blink. That doesn't mean you don't have to sign properly, it means you use a different form of signing on my page.

And I'd have no problem with talking it out with you if you'd listen. Which you have proven in the last hour alone that you don't. You simply go ahead and do what ever you want at a given time. I said that I no longer wanted you on my page, what do you do? You post again. I told you not to shit up the main page? You do it again. I'm going to keep having to clean up your leftovers, but I don't want to deal with your stupidity on my talk page along with it.

Oh, and just so you know, even if you weren't banned, I'd still be able to ignore a comment on my page or simply remove it. The claim of unfairness that I can move your comments and you can't ask me about it stops there.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 22:39, 7 June 2009 (BST)

I offer to arbitrate.-- Adward  15:17, 8 June 2009 (BST)

And as stated, I will practically accept any arbitrator, as this should be a fairly straightforward case. The problem is getting Thadeous to pick.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 15:43, 8 June 2009 (BST)
