The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

I know you are having various problems with DatBot6, theo's bot is managing at present, no idea how long (done about 15,000 since DatBot stopped, but there are still 100,000 oversized images to work through). Would you prefer me to go for a BRFA to do the reductions? The code works fine in semi-automated mode on my PC. I could easily do a run after RonBot#1 completes its run.

The file File:Touch ID logo.png is just too small. It's so small that the font of the Touch ID logo is distorted. I might need to ask an admin to make the image 400px to make sure the font is not distorted by the decreased screenshot size, alongside a ((non-free no reduce)) template.

The KLF4 image is NOT copyright-protected as it was redrawn. The whole point of copyright is to protect CREATIVE works; a schematic drawing of a protein, even when original, is not creative, as it ONLY represents objective facts -- barely allowing creativity, hence redrawing these facts does not violate any copyright. I recommend to read the pertinent legal literature (which I did). Peteruetz (talk) 12:50, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
