I m not sure just what an arbitration appeal involves I would assume that you file an WP RFAR and see if they accept The arbitration that we had some months ago was requested by you not me although I supported its acceptance I am fine with the resolution reached in the case and feel that your ban from political articles serves wikipedia well and I will not support lifting it You ve indicated that you wish to work with just the facts and leave biases out of your editing and I think that s a good sign I believe that Fred said something about your demonstrating these habits in non political articles before considering allowing you to edit political articles again and you should probably do so before requesting an appeal
