The headline is extremely misleading. ArbCom did not "narrowly reject" the request for arbitration: it requires a net four votes in support of a request to open a new case and the first request was declined after it actually failed to get to more arbitrators voting to accept than to decline after ten days. Furthermore, the few support votes were in favour of a motion, rather than a full case. --Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
- I did not realise that anything more than a simple majority was required, so yes, I agree, the subtitle is indeed wrong, and it is also wrong if, as you say, opening a case was never really the question. Nonetheless, I wouldn't characterise it as "extremely misleading", becuase it is, in essence, vaguely correct, Arbitrators declined to arbitrate, but not unanimously. You can still change it if you wish, though. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 16:07, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
I think the article text is misleading - La goutte de pluie was recalled before I submitted the RFAR. — Kudu ~I/O~ 20:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
I think the graph is slightly misleading (kidding ;)). The horizontal axis is the date, right? I suggest you add the month number and "Date" below, moving "Page views for case pages" above the graph. I also suggest separate lines for the different cases, but keep the legend as it is with the circles. -- Jeandré, 2011-09-23t12:40z
