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 Bsmith96 ===
-We have attempted to make edits and changes to The Daily Caller, all of which has been deleted by the Snooganssnoogans. Simple edits, such as new members of the team were denied repeatedly by this user, many times with sarcastic comments. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Daily_Caller&action=history, See 12:16 Sept 20th edit for which he denied an edit of TheDailyCaller as a reputable news source, listing the reason as:(Undid revision 860397583 by Sbjm914 (talk) reputable news orgs dont tend to associate with white supremacists) Looking at his user page and edit history shows a strong history of attacking conservative sites and conservative figures within Wikipedia, as this individual even boasts the complaints against him on his page. We do not believe we can reach a resolution with someone with a clear agenda to harm these pages, rather than offer an unbiased view, as should be the goal of any wiki editor.
-===Statement by Beyond My Ken===
-I see absolutely no discussion of this dispute by Bsmith96 on [[Talk:The Daily Caller]] -- in fact no edits by that editor to the talk page at all, so this is obviously not ripe for arbitration.{{parabr}}Peripherally, it of interest that Bsmith96's edits have been of such a nature that two editors -- Snooganssnoogans and K.e.coffman -- were moved to inquire if Bsmith96 was in some way connected to ''[[The Daily Caller]]'', to which the answer was "No".

-:Also, why does Bsmith96 refer to themselves <s>in the third person above,</s> as "We"?  Is this a role account? [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 23:04, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
