The history of ArbCom.

Conception

On October 1, 2003, RK threw a temper tantrum on the wiki and on the WikiEn-1 mailing list. This was apparently the result of a misunderstanding. In a fit of rage, RK vandalized the userpages of MyRedDice ([1], [2]), Angela ([3]), and Louis Kyu Won Ryu ([4]). When Eloquence commanded RK to stop, RK vandalized Eloquence's user page as well. Eloquence wasn't amused and blocked RK's account.

The story doesn't end there, however. The incidence led to an argument about bans, and Eloquence suggested a Wikiquette committee. Jimbo Wales liked Eloquence's idea and started a discussion about it. During the discussion, Alex756 suggested two different approaches to resolving conflicts: mediation and arbitration. On October 3, 2003, Jimbo Wales asked for volunteers for a Mediation Committee (MedCom) and an Arbitration Committee (ArbCom). On October 7th, Alex756 published Wikipedia:Mediation_and_Arbitration_(proposal) at the request of another user.

Meanwhile, EntmootsOfTrolls (aka 142) hijacked Eloquence's "User:Mediator" idea: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-October/007403.html.
