In the first week since the new Arbitration Committee took office, three cases were closed.

A case involving voters on webcomic deletion requests was closed on Wednesday. As a result, all parties were "cautioned to remain civil", and Aaron Brenneman was also admonished to respect consensus. The dispute centered around these deletion requests, which often resulted in incivility and tension between parties in favor of keeping the articles and those wishing to delete them.

A case brought against AndriyK was closed on Friday. As a result, AndriyK was banned for one month for deliberately creating irreversible page moves. He was also banned from unilaterally making page moves, or changing articles, regarding Ukrainian names. Ghirlandajo was warned regarding incivility and personal attacks. Finally, Andrew Alexander, MaryMaidan and AndriyK were warned regarding copyright violations. The dispute involved the usage of Ukrainian names and places, as opposed to other spellings.

A case brought against Gibraltarian was closed on Monday. As a result, the Arbitration Committee did not take any action in support of, or against, an indefinite block placed against Gibraltarian in mid-December 2005. Gibraltarian was placed on personal attack parole, probation, and general probation. If he is unblocked, which the Arbitration Committee suggested should not be done in the absence of a promise to obey the remedies imposed in this case, then these remedies would apply. Gibraltarian was accused of editing with an aggressive point of view, making personal attacks against other users, and using numerous sockpuppets to continue editing after his block.
