The Arbitration Committee opened no cases this week and closed one, leaving two open.

Open cases

 * Chabad movement (Week 4): A case opened to examine accusations of biased editing and combat on articles related to Judaism's Chabad movement. Currently in the evidence/workshop phase.
 * MZMcBride II (Week 2): A case opened to look into allegations of misconduct by MZMcBride with regards to BLPs and Thekohser. Currently in the evidence/workshop phase.

Recently closed

 *  Tothwolf: A case opened to examine the behavior of four editors: Tothwolf, JBsupreme, Miami33139, and Theserialcomma. Tothwolf was placed under a civility restriction, while Miami33139 and JBsupreme were both rebuked (both being cautioned to abide by best deletion practices, and the latter to avoid incivility and personal attacks). As this case was active when Stephen Bain's term as an arbitrator expired, he retired from the Arbitration Committee shortly after its conclusion. (Notification for the case, Notification for Bain's retirement).

Amendments

 * Speed of light: An amendment to this case makes exceptions to the topic ban upon Brews ohare so that he can edit and discuss the images in that article with regards to featured article candidacies.

Motions

 * Arbitration/Requests/Case/Eastern European mailing list: A pair of motions amend the topic ban on Radeksz so that he may create a category for and add sources to unreferenced Polish biographies and authorize three users to act as proxies for Piotrus with regards to Lech Wałęsa's Good Article nomination.
 * In lieu of a full case, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion to desysop Craigy144 due to his unresponsiveness to concerns that several of his contributions are copyright violations.

Miscellaneous

 * The BASC allowed an appeal from Green Squares.
