 * What does "opener tban blocked 7 November" mean? Typo or internal enwiki jargon? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:36, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Jargon. I'm pretty sure the fully-expanded is "The user who submitted the arbitration request was blocked for violating a topic ban on 7 November" (which may have been unrelated). --Izno (talk) 14:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * As this is a multinational project, I would really appreciate if people refrained from usign slang, jargon, unnecesary abreviations, etc. Why? Well, I could have expressed my last sentence in something like: A vel si sus dejáis de rajar en una froma to chunga de fablar, que no sus entiendi un piho, odo. I bet that you have found the last sentence I at least a bit hard to understand, even if you know Spanish. Well, the same can happen with the English language. So, please, keep it simple if it can be. B25es (talk) 15:53, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've been bold and replaced the problematical word. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 17:21, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I made the report and apologize for the brevity. We were under quite a bit of time pressure especially with the US holiday in the background. It was also my first arbitration report writeup for Signpost. Which is a good time to plug joining the staff if you are interested in matters of writing. We can always use more hands. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:06, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
