=== Amendment ===
* Currently, the article [[Syrian civil war]] is under the arbitration remedies of the ARBPIA, despite that the Syrian conflict has no direct affiliation with the general Arab-Israeli conflict. The ARBPIA was enforced by administrator [[User:Jake Wartenberg]] on March 2013 [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Syrian_civil_war&diff=546807090&oldid=546806384] in order to control constant edit-warring on the Syrian civil war page with the most suitable tool, chosen by him to be ARBPIA. Jake was later requested to amend the issue of enforcing ARBPIA on Syrian civil war and using instead a new 1RR took for the Syrian civil war articles, answering that Arbcom is the correct target for such request [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jake_Wartenberg#Syria_Infobox_issue].
* A new arbitration 1RR tool is proposed to be created to deal with [[Syrian civil war]] articles in order reduce edit-warring, and stabilize a large number of pages, to keep order and refrain from confusion because of current use of ARBPIA for the Syrian civil war article (ARBPIA to be replaced with Syrian civil war 1RR restriction).

==== 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[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jake_Wartenberg#Syria_Infobox_issue] and enforcement[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Syrian_civil_war&diff=546807090&oldid=546806384]). The enforcement of ARBPIA was made simply because it is the most convenient 1RR tool available and not because of an affiliation with the Arab-Israeli conflict. 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 [http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/03/20133262278258896.html]), 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.~~~~
