Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia:Resolving disputes contains the official policy on dispute resolution for English Wikipedia. Arbitration is generally the last step, when a dispute cannot be resolved by any other means including informal or formal mediation, or by asking the community its opinion on the matter.

This page is focused on discussing the requests for arbitration process itself (specifically, the information on the project page attached to this talkpage). Requesting that a case be taken up here isn't likely to help you, but those of us in the dispute resolution community would be happy to assist.

[edit] sockpuppets of long term blocked users based on arbitration rulings

Wouldn't it make more sense to store checkuser data on long-term blocked users? After all logs expire after a month. -- Cat ^chi? 20:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I think there may be privacy implications, although I suspect it's done unofficially anyway.--Domitius 21:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I do not believe privacy is an issue. The ips and other info will not be published to public. All info will still be for arbitrators' "eyes only" -- Cat ^chi? 09:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool Cat, do you have a specific incident in mind? Many of the checkusers do keep records, but they may not always have the foresight to keep the right records in the right case. Thatcher131 14:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes and no. I had difficulties on a very old case that resurfaced a wile back ago. Checkuser data wasn't available so a second arbitration case had to be started for the (new) individual. But that specific thing isn't important right now.

My concern is future and current disputes. Personal logs of any checkuser can disappear for simple reasons such as virus infections and stuff. A centralized location where all en.wiki checkusers can access (such as a private mailing list or some hidden archive) is what I have in mind. I think it would be beneficial to have such a thing.

There is a CheckUser mailing list already, I believe. This comment should probably be moved to Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser, though, since it doesn't deal explicitly with arbitration and we have some non-Arbitrators that serve as CheckUsers. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll copy paste there now. -- Cat ^chi? 16:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
