Conflict of interest management: Case opened edit
Hello Dennis Brown,
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 20, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
For the Arbitration Committee,

ANI thread that needs attention edit
Hi Dennis Brown, if you have the free time, could you have a look at and respond to Afghan.Records ANI thread? It's been open for over 10 days now, there is a pretty clear consensus in favour of a block and no admin has ever responded to it yet. Thanks in advance! — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:01, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Suspicious IP edit
An IP address "117.193.205.235" keeps editing Virudhunagar Lok Sabha constituency again and again by using "winning candidate" template for a specific candidate instead of normal "candidate" template (election results due in 4 June 2024). Action required. Thank you. SamsonM2 (talk) 10:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- I was just the one time, so I'm hesitant to take drastic actions unless it is a pattern, but I will keep an eye out. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Dennis Brown: please check the page again. The same user (IP slightly different) doing disruptive edit. SamsonM2 (talk) 06:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Blocking isn't an option, given the range, but I've protected it for a week. It's a bit of a borderline case, but the different IPs are getting reverted for various valid reasons, enough to protect it. After the protection expires, if the problem comes back, go to WP:RFPP and request protection be extended, but only after several edits that are problematic.
