Wikipedia:Arbitration policy/Procedure for changing this policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was at one point a proposal here; it is now at /Old proposal.

Arbitration policy is the jurisdiction of Jimbo Wales and the Arbitration Committee; see e.g. the arbitration policy ratification vote, which states that the "Arbitration Policy may be tweaked as the Committee gains experience and learns better ways of doing things". Jimbo Wales has also suggested that Arbitration Policy is not open to amendment by the community.

Several attempts have been made to instigate community interest in amendment of Arbitration policy; see e.g.

• Wikipedia:Arbitration policy/Proposed amendment and its failed ratification vote
• Wikipedia:Arbitration policy/Proposed amendment revote which, despite its name, was not entirely the same as the original proposed amendment

A restriction of one hundred community votes was implemented in both votes, but not met by either.
