The Committee announced that Mailer Diablo, MBisanz and Tiptoety have been promoted to position as clerks for the committee. Additionally, the {{ArbComOpenTasks}} template that appears at the top of the requests for arbitration page was modified to mention the name of the designated drafting Arbitrator for each open case.
The Arbitration Committee opened one case this week, and closed none, leaving eight cases open.
West Bank - Judea and Samaria: A dispute about editor behavior in discussions about naming conventions for certain Israel- and Palestine-related locations.
Prem Rawat 2: A case concerning the continued behavioral problems on the pages about Prem Rawat, and related articles. A previous case, Prem Rawat, was closed in May of last year.
Date delinking: A case regarding the behavior of editors in the ongoing dispute relating to policy on linking dates in articles. An injunction has been issued prohibiting large-scale linking or delinking of dates until the case is resolved.
MZMcBride: A case brought after administrator MZMcBride deleted numerous "secret pages". This case is reviewing administrator conduct by MZMcBride only, and is not ruling on the appropriateness of the pages themselves. MZMcBride was admonished for his administrator actions in a previous Request for Arbitration. Several motions of varying degrees of admonishment all have majority levels of support, and a motion to desysop MZMcBride has 8-2 support. Before the end of the case, MZMcBride voluntarily resigned his adminship.
