The Arbitration Committee hears block or ban appeals by email in some cases. These situations include users (a) blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion, or (b) blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions. Examples of reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion include blocks (i) marked as an Oversight block, or (ii) based on CheckUser evidence, and where there exists disagreement between checkusers as to the interpretation of the technical evidence. It is expected that blocks marked as a CheckUser block are by default appealed on-wiki; however, the Arbitration Committee may hear appeals of such blocks if there are compelling reasons to hear an appeal in private.

You can email the Arbitration Committee through Misplaced Pages if you have registered a email address or directly to arbcom-enwikimedia.org if you have not registered an email address or been blocked from sending emails. Please read Misplaced Pages:Appealing a block before doing so.

Users who do not fall into these categories should appeal by using an {{unblock}} template on their talk page or via the Unblock Ticket Request System.
