Amendment

• Currently, the article Syrian civil war is under the arbitration remedies of the ARBPIA, despite the fact that the conflict has no direct relation with the general Arab-Israeli conflict. The ARBPIA was enforced by administrator User:Jake Wartenberg on March 2013 [1] in order to control constant edit-warring on the page with the most suitable tool, chosen by him to be ARBPIA. Jake was requested to amend the issue of enforcing ARBPIA on Syrian civil war, answering that Arbcom is the correct target for such request [2].
• A new arbitration 1RR tool is proposed to be created to deal with Syrian civil war articles in order to keep order and refrain from immediate association and confusion with Arab-Israeli conflict articles (ARBPIA).

Statement by Greyshark09

The ARBPIA 1RR restriction was enforced in Syrian civil war article in order to prevent constant edit-warring. The 1RR restriction was made by admin Jake Wartenberg on March 24, 2013 as an answer to editors' request to limit edit-warring on that page (request[3] and enforcement[4]). The enforcement with ARBPIA was made not because of Israeli involvement, but simply because it is the most convenient 1RR tool available. However, there might be a serious flaw in using the "Arab-Israeli arbitration enforcement" tool on Syrian civil war articles: first of all Israeli involvement is so far very limited in that conflict and hence Israel is not present in the infobox yet; secondly, even if considering Israeli involvement, the context is clearly not a part of the Arab-Israeli conflict (conflict between Israel and Arab League), but actually part of the Israel-Iran proxy conflict (Iran is not an Arab country and of course is not part of the Arab League). Considering that Syria is suspended from the Arab League (see [5]), thus the "Arab-Israeli arbitration enforcement" on Syrian conflict is completely irrelevant. I suggest creating a new arbitration tool named "Syrian conflict arbitration enforcement" for 1RR enforcing on Syrian civil war related articles instead of ARBPIA to resolve this issue.Greyshark09 (talk) 13:43, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
