Shortcuts

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. 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, eg 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.

Confirmation that other steps in dispute resolution have been tried

I have tried to solve is issue in very polite manner. Admins can see the discussion pages, linked below.

Statement by امین اکبر

In my opinion constituencies, page titles should be as per the official name of the Election Commission of Pakistan. While another user is redirecting the old page to a new constituency which was created after delimitation without consulting or notifying other concerned editors. I and other users agreed to remove the area name from the title and keep it just numbers, but Mr. Saad Ali Khan want to impose his own wish on all pages. See the discussion Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pakistani politics to understand the matter.

Statement by Saad Ali Khan Pakistan

Hello FIrst of all, I updated constituency pages as of 2022 Delimitations. When I saw talk pages of constituencies there was no one to talk to and when I completed updating constituency pages. person named ameen akbar came out and started to argue. He is just making this a so-called dispute. If you see his contributions he has done nothing to improve Pakistani pages on Wikipedia. If you visit and see Urdu version of Wikipedia where he is admin, everyone can see Urdu Wikipedia is in worst condition and don't have quality content. It takes months for just review new article.

He is just making false blame that I am imposing my wish on Wikipedia. I even told him and others that my intention is just to update Pakistani pages on Wikipedia like Indian, American and other countries etc but he is still arguing and misguiding people. Constituency pages names are same as named by ECP (Please visit PP-1 Attock-I) but he still argues and showing this as dispute among others. Because of people like him, Pakistani pages are outdated and lack quality data.

Statement by Robert McClenon (Naming Dispute)

It isn't clear from reading this case request whether there is a conduct dispute at all. When I first saw that the case involved Pakistan, which is a contentious topic, I had two questions. First, is another Pakistan case needed to review the restrictions and enforcement regime? Second, is Arbitration Enforcement needed because of disruptive editing in a contentious area? The answers are no, and no.

This appears to be a situation where an editor knows that he wants assistance, and doesn't have a clue where to get assistance, and knows that there is an ArbCom. The filing party started an RFC on the naming of constituencies about a week ago. The best course of action at this point is to let the RFC run for the remainder of the 30 days, and to advise the filing editor to be patient. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:24, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
