Part of Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution

Ultimately, the content of Misplaced Pages is determined by making progress toward a community consensus. However, the size of Misplaced Pages prevents community members from actively following every development. As a result, disputes sometimes arise that could be resolved with additional input from a larger segment of the community.

To request comment on a dispute, link to the page where the discussion should take place. Please add a brief, neutral statement of the issue involved. Do not list arguments for or against any position, or try to assign blame for the dispute. Do not sign entries, just link to the appropriate page.

Place the link in the appropriate section below. Disputes over article content should link to the talk page for the article in question. (If you simply want peer review of an article, then list it at Misplaced Pages:Peer review instead.) If the dispute involves allegations that a user has engaged in serious violations of Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, create a subpage for the dispute. Use the subpage to elaborate on the allegations.

Whatever the nature of the dispute, the first resort should always be to discuss the problem with the other user. Try to resolve the dispute on your own first. For disputes over user conduct, please do not request community comment unless at least two people have contacted the user on his or her talk page (or the talk pages involved in the dispute) and failed to resolve the problem. Do not forget to follow Wikiquette. Items listed on this page may be removed if you fail to try basic methods of dispute resolution.

Article content disputes

Please only list links to talk pages where one or more participants cannot reach consensus and are thus stalling progress on the article.

  • Talk:George W. Bush - (relisted; another request for comment regarding this article is below) Some contributors want to include unflattering, but true, facts about Bush-- in particular, his controversial March 24, 2004 WMD comedy routine and his 1988 "Pussy" comment. Others consider the inclusion of said facts to violate the NPOV.
  • Talk: Traditional Chinese medicine - Dispute over what is vandalism, and how much this article should accomodate persistent vandalism. Comment requested on reverting to a pre-vandalism version.
  • Talk: Holocaust denial - Dispute over whether or not the article is NPOV. Commentary is requested to avert an edit war.
  • Talk:Oil for food - A long edit war. One user insistant that there be a 4:1 ratio of corruption allegations to description of the program itself; two users insistant that as long as the allegations are uninvestigated, that this is completely unreasonable.
The problem is being cared for at the talk page, there is a mediator. (Am I supposed to sign here? Why does no one else?) Get-back-world-respect 19:38, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Talk:Peter Lynds - Dispute about description of Lynds (eg. comparison to Einstein) and whether the allegation about Lynds producing the press release himself should be mentioned.
  • Talk:Subject-object problem - User:24.45.99.191 (Paul Vogel) is edit warring over the inclusion of some content in the first paragraph. Attempts at a compromise have been made and rejected by him. Discussion is proving extremely difficult.
  • Talk:Augusto Pinochet - is a perceived "admission" by Powell of U.S. responsibility for the coup relevant to mention?
  • Talk:Khmer Rouge - Whether people seeking to paint the Communist Party of Kampuchea (which they call the Khmer Rouge) in a bad light are doing so by facts, or just throwing mud.
  • Talk:Cycle - Whether to call the article cycle or cycles. Also, whether a large section of links is appropriate.
  • Talk:Gdansk - What to call the city in English. Input from native English speakers would surely be most appreciated.
  • Talk:Expulsion of Germans after World War II - there is a long drawn out dispute on a lot of pages concerning common German-Polish history. In the moment of writing, the expulsions seem to be in focus. A presense of fellow wikipedians without own emotional ties is strongly urged for!
  • Talk:George W. Bush, also at Talk:John Kerry. Anti-Bush editors are relentlessly making small edits (many anonymously) to keep the article negative POV, especially as compared to Kerry article. Please review articles and comments in Talk for the issues.
Repeated inclusion of "Bushisms" or "fingernail scrapes" are cared for by many users from both sides of the political spectrum, I see no need to worry. Get-back-world-respect 19:38, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Talk:Al Gore - extensive paraphrasing and borrowing from Gore campaign materials.
