http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Arbitration_Committee Is this policy for all Wikipedias or only for English one? I think, where is an English project bias here, example in "Requests" section (not all local committes have so many members as English Arbitration). -- Alexander Sigachov

I agree. I think that all that can validly be given here is a list of the existing arbitration committees, and how to contact them. While there may be a need for an arbitration committee for meta, the en:wp committee should not be viewed as automatically having authority on meta. Ec

yes ! and overall, that seems to work :-) ... is not there a more and more noisy rumor of people wanting a new steward election by the way ? ... Ant (stepping deep in it, and tip toe-ing away silently)

The page is, at present, a copy-paste of [[en:Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee]]. It came into existence because people were asking "what is this arbcom thing", it being mentioned in describing several high-level privileges (CheckUser, Oversight).
