Partial recusal
Hello - I'm just wondering how an Arb can recuse from part of a case. Surely if the conduct of person B is in question, and B's action was in response to what person A did, B cannot fairly be judged by someone who says "I'm not going to evaluate the actions of person A"? How can an Arb only look at some, not all, of the issues in a case? Has partial recusal happened before, as far as you know, and in what circumstances? I'm trying and failing to imagine a real-life example of where a decision-maker would be, and (importantly) would be seen to be, sufficiently objective to take a decision after recusing on part of the discussion because of an actual or perceived inability to be sufficiently objective on that issue.

 * I agree it is unclear; I intended to post on the case talk page clarifying this last night, but real life has gotten in the way over the past day or so. I'll comment there later today. L Faraone  00:14, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅. To answer your other question: recusing on a part of a case has happened before. For example, if I had a long-running animosity with Example, and, say, the WP:ARBSCI case was in front of us today with them as a party, depending on the circumstances of the case it might be acceptable to participate in the case but abstain from deciding on their actions. However, if Example's actions were inexplicably linked with the entire case, participation might suffer from the issues you described. L Faraone  21:24, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Unprotection
Could you please unprotect Wreck-It Ralph? It's been two years since protection, so let's try again without protection. Pickuptha&#39;Musket (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Jason Adelman - unblock
Hello I recently saw your message to tokyogirl saying my username is blocked. I attempted to submit an appeal as I have been on Wikipedia for over a decade and the reason why I think they blocked me (if they did) was because there was an alert saying I needed to source my credits so my business manager did so but I guess this was against your rules. This was unnentional and we were trying to keep my page from being deleted. If my account is blocked can you help me unblock? I have sent all my sources verifying I have starred in movies had recurring roles in network hit shows,, started in a hit video and my engagement tonkarina Smirnoff shouldn't affect me as this was recent however I have been a member over a decade before the engagement. Please help me.. I would just like to get my page back up as I had substantial roles and can source them. Robot19332 (talk) 13:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * your account has never been blocked, as far as I can tell. L Faraone  01:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Unblocked!
Thanks for unblocking my account! I have two questions: 1. Does the unblock notice have to stay on either my user page or talk page, or both? 2. I can not actually edit my user pages (perhaps because of Gwen Gale having blocked my ability to edit them back in 2009). Could you help me with that? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks again.

 * The restrictions were logged at Editing restrictions, and do not need to be kept on your user or user talk pages. I've also unprotected your user page. L Faraone  01:08, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I still can't edit my user pages. The only buttons that show at the top of the page are 'read', 'view source', and 'view history'.

 * , the page is unprotected. I see that your userpage was also full-protected, which I also removed. If there are any other pages of yours which are still protected, please provide the full page name. L Faraone  16:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't find my user page, only the talk page. If that was deleted, how do recreate it?

 * Your user page is a redirect to your userpage. You can edit it from this link. L Faraone  17:31, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm...  I was able to add content to the page at that link, and save it; but, when I click on 'User page' I still get my 'Talk' page instead. Is there an way to fix that?

 * You needed to from the page. L Faraone  18:24, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all the help, which is much appreciated.
