Use this page to request the committee open an arbitration case. To be accepted, an arbitration request needs 4 net votes to "accept" (or a majority).

Arbitration is a last resort. WP:DR lists the other, escalating processes that should be used before arbitration. The committee will decline premature requests.

Requests may be referred to as "case requests" or "RFARs"; once opened, they become "cases". Before requesting arbitration, read the arbitration guide to case requests. Then click the button below. Complete the instructions quickly; requests incomplete for over an hour may be removed. Consider preparing the request in your userspace.

To request enforcement of an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. To clarify or change an existing arbitration ruling, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.

File an arbitration request

This page is for statements, not discussion.

If you must reply to another user's statement, do so in your own section (more information).
Your section must not contain more than 500 words (Word Count Tool; internal gadget). This includes your replies to other users. To request an extension, either make the request in your statement section or email the clerks email list.
Arbitrators or clerks may refactor or delete statements, e.g. off-topic or unproductive remarks, without warning.
Banned users may request arbitration via the committee contact page; don't try to edit this page.
Under no circumstances should you remove requests from this page, or open a case (even for accepted requests), unless you are an arbitrator or clerk.
After a request is filed, the arbitrators will vote on accepting or declining the case. The <0/0/0> tally counts the arbitrators voting accept/decline/recuse.
Declined case requests are logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Declined requests. Accepted case requests are opened as cases, and logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases once closed.

-=== Statement by Cossde ===
-This page as seen weeks of [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]] and possible [[WP:NAT]] editing, with controversial content been added with single sources that are most cases primary sources that have clear conflict of intrests and even been labled "pro-rebal". Some other sources with [[WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS]], that makes the content appear [[WP:OR]]. Request for more citations per [[WP:EXCEPTIONAL]] and [[WP:CHALLENGE]] have been refused. Hence I am requesting arbitration to settle this matter by establishing the quality, type and style of citations needed for this artcile.

-===Statement by Robert McClenon (Cossde request)===
-[[User:Cossde]] - '''''You''''' requested that ArbCom declare [[Sri Lanka]] to be a [[WP:CTOPIC|contentious topic]], and, in response to your request, which I supported, ArbCom declared [[Sri Lanka]] to be a [[WP:CTOPIC|contentious topic]].  Maybe you didn't know that this means that the special procedure of [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]] is used to deal with [[WP:DE|disruptive editing]] in [[WP:CTOPIC|contentious topic]] areas.  Since [[User:Petextrodon]] was a party to your Arbitration Request, they have notice of that the procedures are in effect.  It appears that [[User:Tame Rhino]] has not been notified of the [[WP:CTOPIC|contentious topic]].  I advise you to notify [[User:Tame Rhino]] of [[WP:CTOPIC|contentious topics]], and file a request at [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]] for action against [[User:Petextrodon]].  I have not reviewed the recent history and do not have an opinion at this time on the dispute, but those are the next steps that you should take.  This request will probably be archived and dismissed by ArbCom shortly, because ArbCom does not need to be involved further; the administrators at [[WP:AE|Arbitration Enforcement]] can hear your report.
