respond calmly to allegations against you. Accusations of misbehaviour posted in this case must be proven with clear evidence (and otherwise not made at all). Editors who conduct themselves inappropriately during a case may be sanctioned by an arbitrator, clerk, or functionary, without further warning, by being banned from further participation in the case, or being blocked altogether. Personal attacks against other users, including arbitrators or the clerks, will be met with sanctions. Behavior during a case may also be considered by the committee in arriving at a final decision.

Knowledge policy (Arbcom doesn't set policy in these findings), the findings of fact are based on the evidence presented, and the remedies are what Arbcom thinks will stop the specific problem happening again.

No reliable sources support this widely circulated internet rumour....(this is the explanation of why there is a disagreement: everyone saw it on Twitter, but there has been no follow up in the established press, so there is a dispute as to whether it can be added to the article)

Hi Bob. No idea what you asked, but no, requests and proposals are quite different. Proposals are things that go into the final decision - principles, findings of fact and remedies. The requests section is for things that apply while the case is going on - like a request to add another party, or

A useful thing that the parties can do is help Arbcom with the part of the finding of fact usually termed "Scope of the dispute" or "focus of the dispute", which is basically what it is that the argument is all about, that is causing people to behave badly. Getting this right forms the basis of the

For editors who haven't been through the arbitration process before—which is not a bad thing or a criticism, believe me—I suggest concentrating primarily on posting the information you believe will be most helpful to the arbitrators in deciding the case fairly and expeditiously. Fine points of the

As a side note, Bob, I am gathering evidence, but there's a lot of material to go through, so I probably won't have anything up for a while. Given the limit on words, and my own tendency towards verbosity, I feel like I have to be very careful to pick out only the best material and explanations.

Well, can you list the specific steps of doing this in point form then? I simply followed Tenmei's example since he had some prior experiences with ArbCom. I would've provided evidence as well, but I don't feel like doing the digging now and I can see other parties are not very enthusiastic about

Arbitration case pages exist to assist the
Arbitration Committee in arriving at a fair, well-informed decision. You are required to act with appropriate decorum during this case. While grievances must often be aired during a case, you are expected to air them without being rude or hostile, and to

I collapsed your text because it was, in my mind, a very general remark that was neither a formal request nor a motion pertaining to this arbitration case. Tenmei's request was clear and precise request concerning the statement made by
Qwyrxian, and so I moved it to the main case talkpage. The

I'm new to arbitration...is it normal to start
Workshopping before Evidence is presented? Or is this not a sequential process (that is, are they supposed to be done simultaneously)? It doesn't matter to me, but I guess I'm just confused about where to proceed first.
