[WikiEN-l] Qualifications for referrals to arbitration

[Brian Corr]

Don't blame Cimon Avaro for not doing his homework on this one.

Earlier today I quoted the following from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration :

"Currently, the arbitrators accept referrals from Jimbo Wales only, which 
they decide to arbitrate on based on the voting procedure described at 
wikipedia:arbitration policy."

Meanwhile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_policy says:

"The arbitration committee accepts requests for arbitration from anyone; 
however, in most cases, the arbitration committee will only hear cases 
referred to them by the Mediation Committee or directly from Jimmy Wales."

There needs to be some harmonizing of these two pages, methinks.
