The Arbitration Committee did not open any new cases this week, and closed one case, leaving six cases currently open.
Closed case
- Anonimu: A case involving revert warring and incivility by Anonimu. As a result of the case, Anonimu's community ban was confirmed, and he was concurrently banned for a year.
Evidence phase
- Dbachmann: A case involving alleged misconduct on the part of administrator Dbachmann and editing by other editors on several race-related articles.
Voting phase
- RodentofDeath: A case involving alleged personal attacks and policy violations by RodentofDeath on articles including Angeles City. Remedies banning RodentofDeath for one year, and reminding Susanbryce not to use Wikipedia for purposes of advocacy, have the support of two arbitrators.
- Physchim62: A case revolving around a block of fellow administrator Hesperian by Physchim62. Other users assert that Physchim62 has misused his administrative tools in the past. A remedy noting that Physchim62 has resigned his administrative privileges "under controversial circumstances," so that he could not seek resysopping without a new RfA, has the support of four arbitrators.
- Episodes and characters: A case involving alleged misconduct with regard to the notability of episodes and characters from television series. Remedies admonishing TTN and urging the parties to collaborate on the issue have the support of four arbitrators, but are opposed by arbitrator UninvitedCompany.
- Matthew Hoffman: A case involving a controversial block of MatthewHoffman as a sockpuppet by a vanished user. Arbitrator UninvitedCompany has proposed a remedy calling for Hoffman's block log to be annotated to show that the blocks were unjustified, which has support from four other arbitrators, but is opposed by Fred Bauder. Another remedy, proposed by Bauder and supported by three other arbitrators but opposed by two, cautions the vanished user to avoid taking significant administrative action where he has strong opinions, while a remedy desysopping him stands at five to one. More recently, a motion to suspend the case for 30 days to allow for community input at an RfC has obtained the support of five arbitrators.
