I'm writing to you on behalf of the rest of the committee, after {{redacted}}. |

== Iranian Politics disruption continues == |
|||
Your plain speaking is appreciated, however there have been a couple of occasions that comments made in public risk compromising the faith the community puts in arbitrators to conduct arbitration fairly. Two important traits the community expects us to be are to be (a) discreet and (b) scrupulous/fair. |
|||
The Arbitration Committee has been made aware by the Wikimedia Foundation's disinformation team of continued disruption in the Iranian Politics (IRANPOL) topic area, which was subject to an [[w:en:Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian politics#Final decision|ArbCom case]] last year. Additional measures to address this disruption may be forthcoming in the year ahead from the Arbitration Committee and/or the Wikimedia Foundation. For now, the Arbitration Committee is informing the community of this disruption in the hopes that more editors and administrators may wish to begin working in the IRANPOL topic area. Uninvolved administrators are also reminded that [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#Placing_sanctions_and_page_restrictions|editor restrictions and page restrictions]] are available for use in the topic area.

Mocking another editor (albeit one currently indefinitely blocked on en-wiki) on a Wikipedia criticism site is not compatible with fairness, and candid comments about differences in opinion concerning {{redacted}} and {{redacted}} are not compatible with discretion. |

| ⚫ | |||
Outside the public comments, your recent message to the functionaries list regarding {{redacted}} has caused significant consternation amongst editors there. Whilst you may not have realised {{redacted}}, the tone used in regard to another contributor who is participating in good faith was also not compatible with scrupulous behaviour. |

The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning arbitrators following their [[:en:WP:ACE2022|election]] by the community. The two-year terms of these arbitrators formally begin on 1 January 2023: |

Can you please be really really careful in situations where a public comment (a) may reveal or hint at private committee discussion, or (b) come across as denigrating, mocking or flippantly dismissing another person's concerns, or other ad hominem comments, in all fora, but particularly if made on Wikipediocracy. |

All incoming arbitrators have elected to receive the checkuser and oversight permissions. |

The Committee will make a further announcement about outgoing arbitrators before the 2023 Committee takes office. |
