![]() | If you find the instructions below confusing, please email or contact an Arbitration Clerk, ask at the Clerks' Noticeboard, or on the Arbitration talk page. |
In a 10–0 vote on 28 June 2009, the Arbitration Committee resolved that all requests for the amendment of closed cases must be made in this format:
A request for amendment of a closed case must clearly state the following:
- (a) The name of the case to be amended;
- (b) The clause(s) to be modified, referenced by number or section title;
- (c) For each clause in (b), the desired modification; and
- (d) The rationale for the requested amendment, comprising no more than 1000 words.
Any request which does not comply with these criteria will be summarily removed. By following the template below, your request should meet all of these requirements.
Please go to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and amendment and follow the instructions in the red header box at the top of the page in order to file a request for Clarification or Amendment.
