If you decide to withdraw this request BEFORE you file it at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case please edit the page and add {{Db-self}} to the top of the page. Once you file your request for arbitration, the Arbitration Committee will vote on whether to accept your request and open a case or decline to open a case. While you can ask for your request to be withdrawn after you have filed it, this decision will be made by the Arbitration Committee.
This is an arbitration case request has been filed at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case. The Arbitration Committee is currently deciding whether or not to open a case.
The purpose of this page is to assist the Arbitration Committee to decide whether a case should or should not be opened. Statements on this page should succinctly address why or why not the Committee should open this case in accordance with the arbitration policy.
This page is for statements, not discussion. If you must reply to another person's statement, do so in your own section (see also this part of the arbitration guide).
Please fully compose your statement before posting it to this page. The case requests page receives a significant number of views and edits, so your statement might be read and replied to before you finalise it.
Statements (including responses to other statements and arbitrators) must be shorter than 500 words as rendered in the browser (Word Count Tool). Extensions may be requested from the Arbitration Committee.
Arbitrators or clerks may summarily remove, refactor, collapse ("hat") or move inappropriate material, including off-topic or unproductive discussions, without warning or notice.
Only arbitrators and clerks may remove requests from this page. Do not remove a request unless you are one.
The <0/0/0> tally corresponds to arbitrators' votes to accept/decline/recuse respectively.
If a case request achieves a majority of arbitrators voting to accept, it may not be opened straight away. There are a number of administrative and logistical decisions which need to be made before a case can be opened, please be patient and wait for an arbitrator or clerk to officially open the case.
