Opabinia regalis resignation
In light of the voting phase of the arbcom election starting soon, I've decided to make official what has been de facto true for a while now and resign from the committee. Obviously I have been overtaken by real-life commitments and haven't had the time to contribute as I'd hoped this year, and I don't see that changing in the short time left in my term. Apologies and appreciation to those who picked up more work than they signed up for in my absence. I will also be giving up CU/OS, since I don't have time to do those jobs either. For everyone running in this year's election, good luck, and best wishes to the 2024 committee! Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:42, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Suspension of Beeblebrox
The Arbitration Committee has determined that Beeblebrox (talk · contribs) has repeatedly failed to [p]reserve in appropriate confidence the contents of private correspondence sent to the Committee and the Committee's internal discussions and deliberations
by making disclosures on off-wiki forums. These failures followed a previous formal warning issued to Beeblebrox in September 2021 by the Arbitration Committee concerning his conduct in off-wiki forums. Therefore, in accordance with Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy § Conduct of arbitrators, Beeblebrox is suspended from Arbitration Committee membership for a period of six months from this date. During this period, Beeblebrox's CheckUser and Oversight permissions and his access to applicable mailing lists (including the functionaries' mailing list) are revoked. Following this period, Beeblebrox may request reinstatement of his permissions or mailing list access by applying to the Arbitration Committee. Beeblebrox may also regain access via election to the committee.
