Arbitration motion regarding Pbsouthwood
The Committee resolves by motion:
Given Pbsouthwood(talk · contribs)'s absence from editing, the case is accepted and suspended for a period of three months, Pbsouthwood is temporarily blocked from the Article namespace, and is temporarily desysopped.
Should Pbsouthwood return to the English Wikipedia during this time and request that this case be resumed, the Arbitration Committee shall unsuspend the case by motion and it will proceed through the normal arbitration process. Such a request may be made by email to arbcom-en[画像:@]wikimedia.org or at the clerks' noticeboard. Pbsouthwood will remain temporarily blocked and desysopped for the duration of the case.
If such a request is not made within three months of this motion, this case shall be automatically closed, and Pbsouthwood shall remain blocked from the Article namespace and desysopped. Pbsouthwood may regain the administrative tools only via a successful request for adminship or administrator election. The block can be appealed at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment.
