The Arbitration Committee closed one case this week and opened none, leaving one case open.

Open cases

 * Transcendental Meditation movement (Week 13): The case was opened to deal with circumstances surrounding articles related to the eponymous movement, similar to the circumstances at issue in Scientology pages a year ago. The case is being voted upon.

Recently closed

 * Russavia-Biophys: The case was accepted to expedite a complicated Arbitration enforcement issue concerning Russavia and Biophys. As a result of the case, Russavia is barred from commenting on or unnecessarily interacting with editors who were the subject of the EEML case, and Biophys is topic-banned from articles related to the former Soviet Union, with a 1RR restriction in place after that ban expires. Three other editors received six-month topic bans from the former Soviet Union topic area.

Motions

 * The Committee passed a motion to ban A Nobody from Wikipedia until such time as he submits to the Arbitration case held in abeyance for him. A Nobody had previously been editing under IPs and other usernames in an attempt to evade the case.
