{{ivmbox|1=Clerks are instructed to add a new section, entitled "Reliable source consensus-required restriction" to the Enforcement section of the [[WP:ARBPROC|Arbitration Procedures]] with the following text:
<blockquote>The Committee may apply the "Reliable source consensus-required restriction" to specified topic areas. For topic areas with this restriction, when a source that is not an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution is removed from an article, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the [[WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]]. Administrators may enforce this restriction with page protections, topic bans, or blocks; enforcement decisions should consider not merely the severity of the violation but the general disciplinary record of the editor in violation.</blockquote>

[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eastern Europe]] is amended to include the following restriction:
<blockquote>All articles and edits in the topic area of Lithuania history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Lithuania are subject to a "reliable source consensus-required restriction."</blockquote>

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by [[Special:Permalink/1194194627#Motion:_GiantSnowman_restrictions_amended_(January_2024)|motion]] that:
{{ivmbox|1=Remedy 1.2 of the ''GiantSnowman'' case ("GiantSnowman admonished and placed under review") is amended to read as follows:
<blockquote>
1.2) GiantSnowman is admonished for overuse of the rollback and blocking functions, and reminded to [[w:WP:ADMINCOND|"lead by example" and "strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy"]]; to [[w:WP:ADMINACCT|"respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Wikipedia-related conduct and administrative actions and to justify them when needed"]]; to not use admin tools in [[w:WP:INVOLVED|"cases in which they have been involved" including "conflicts with an editor" and "disputes on topics"]]; to [[w:WP:BITE|"treat newcomers with kindness and patience"]]; and to apply these principles in all interactions with all editors.


Oppose: Firefly, Moneytrees
With the exception of obvious vandalism or obvious violations of the policy on biographies of living persons:
* GiantSnowman is prohibited from reverting another editor's contribution without providing an explanation in the edit summary. Default edit summaries provided by MediaWiki or user scripts are not sufficient for the purpose of this restriction. For the avoidance of doubt, use of MediaWiki rollback with an edit summary via a user script such as [[w:User:DannyS712/AjaxRollbackSummary|this one]], or via massRollback.js, is permitted.
* GiantSnowman is prohibited from blocking an editor who has not been recently warned for the conduct in question. For the purposes of this restriction, "recently" is assumed to be within 7 days.

Violations may be reported by any editor to [[w:WP:AE|the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard]]. GiantSnowman may [[w:WP:ARCA|appeal these restrictions directly to the Arbitration Committee]] at any time.
