DreamGuy 2: A case involving alleged persistent incivility by
DreamGuy. Kirill Lokshin has proposed a remedy restricting DreamGuy's editing, which has the support of Fred Bauder and James Forrester
The Troubles: A case involving a large number of editors on articles related to
The Troubles. Some editors attempted to withdraw from the case when its scope was widened at the request of an arbitrator to cover the entire area rather than only the behaviour of
Vintagekits, but in accordance with
arbitration policy, these attempts, along with other changes to statements after the case opened, were reverted by the
clerk. Remedies placing a group of editors on probation have the support of three arbitrators.
Attack sites: A case involving disputes over whether the
attack sites section of
WP:NPA should prohibit links from articles in the mainspace to websites which include pages attacking Wikipedia editors. Voting on most remedies is split, but remedies encouraging the community to develop a policy through consensus have a majority.
Artaxerex: A case involving alleged POV-pushing, incivility and sockpuppetry by
Artaxerex. Artaxerex denies the allegations, and alleges that
Shervink and others are focusing on getting him blocked, and that certain editors push an Iranian nationalist POV. Remedies banning Artaxerex and reminding parties of the need to adhere closely to
WP:NPOV have the support of four arbitrators.
Allegations of apartheid: This case concerns the conduct of various editors in connection with a group of articles whose titles include the words "Allegations of apartheid". It has been alleged that these articles were created in violation of
Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point, after several deletion debates concerning
Allegations of Israeli apartheid resulted in that article being kept. Issues have also been raised concerning comments made in deletion discussions and reviews. Several users who have created and edited the "Allegations of apartheid" articles have strongly denied any inappropriate conduct. Voting on most proposals is split, but an amnesty for past actions currently has a majority.
