  Arbitration

  • Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community.
  • The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.

HBC AIV Helperbot5 & global locks

Hi, would it at all be possible for the bot to remove reports where the user has been globally locked? It would definitely save us time, as global locks make local blocks redundant and those reports are having to be removed manually. I notice this has been requested before several years ago, but I feel like the number of cross-wiki LTA's since then has increased significantly and with that, the number of global locks/blocks being handed out. Thanks, Sro23 (talk) 01:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what went wrong there; to me, it looks like a perfectly normal block (not a rangeblock, and not with talk page access disabled). Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
