Wikipedia talk:Arbitration policy/Proposals/Evidence scope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do feel this aspect of arbitration policy needs to be clarified, and am therefore supporting the pitching of this proposal (even if I'm not necessarily supporting the idea behind the proposal). -- Grunt   ҈  18:40, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)

[edit] rewording ...

Evidence and brief arguments may be added to the case pages by the named litigants, interested third parties, and the Arbitrators themselves. Such evidence must come from easily verifiable sources; primarily in the form of Wikipedia edits ("diffs"), log entries for MediaWiki actions or web server access, posts to the official mailing lists, or other Wikimedia sources. The Arbitrators reserve the right to disregard certain items of evidence or certain lines of argument.

The last sentence implies a bias, may I suggest; The Arbitrators reserve the right to disregard items of evidence or certain lines of argument that are ouside of this scope. -- Dbroadwell 04:07, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
