New case: Longevity; Biophys topic ban likely to stay in place
The Arbitration Committee opened one case this week, leaving a total of one case open.
New case
Longevity
On the petition of John J. Bulten (talk · contribs), the Committee accepted a case on Longevity on 22 November. The filer named 18 editors, including himself, as parties. The case centres on the alleged uncivil and disruptive behaviour of Ryoung122 (talk · contribs) within the sphere of articles related to longevity (such as Longevity myths, Longevity claims, and List of the verified oldest people) as well as the creation and deletion of biographies and lists relating to centenarians. Issues include gross incivility, POV-pushing, deliberate use of unverified information, and breaches of WP:COI, WP:OWN and WP:CANVASS. Thus far only four editors, including the petitioner, have submitted evidence.
Closed case
Russavia-Biophys
In a request for amendment filed 7 November, Biophys (talk · contribs) sought to be freed from his topic ban six months after it was imposed, in exchange for a 1RR restriction. The five Arbs who have commented so far have indicated they were inclined to revisit the matter again in three months, leaving it unchanged for now.
