An arbitration case regarding [[User:Mzajac]] has now closed. The Arbitration Committee resolved by motion in February to suspend the case, which could be unsuspended if Mzajac requested it within three months. Because Mzajac has not requested that the case be unsuspended, the case has been automatically closed. The motion which has now closed the case is [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Mzajac#Motion to suspend]].

The Arbitration Committee hears appeals from editors who are (a) blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion, or (b) blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions. Examples of reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion include blocks (i) marked as an [[Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Oversight_blocks|Oversight block]], or (ii) based on CheckUser evidence, and where there exists disagreement between checkusers as to the interpretation of the technical evidence. It is expected that blocks marked as a [[Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#CheckUser_blocks|CheckUser block]] are by default appealed on-wiki; however, the Arbitration Committee may hear appeals of such blocks if there are compelling reasons to hear an appeal in private.

Pursuant to remedy 1 of the Conflict of interest management case, the Arbitration Committee is pleased to announce that the VRT queue for reporting conflict-of-interest or paid editing (WP:COIVRT) is fully operational, while the former queue remains accessible to members of the CheckUser team.
