Exhibit 1041 ยท Arbitration record
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/COVID-19 (resolved by motion)
The community COVID-19 general sanctions are hereby rescinded and are replaced by standard discretionary sanctions, which are authorized for all edits about, and all articles related to, COVID-19, broadly construed.
The Committee accepted a case request about COVID-19 articles and resolved it the same day by motion, passed 8 to 1 with 1 abstention, replacing community general sanctions with standard discretionary sanctions (later redesignated a contentious topic on 14 December 2022, 10 to 0). The decision page contains remedies only: no principles and no findings of fact. Statements in the request disagreed with each other on whether the biomedical sourcing guideline was applied too strictly or correctly; the Committee made no ruling on that.
