In order to remain listed at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User conduct, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this user and have failed. This must involve the same dispute with a single user, not different disputes or multiple users. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with ~~~~. If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 21:03, 3 November 2010 (UTC)), the page will be deleted.

Statement of the dispute

Generally; is Communicat editing disruptively and/or unable to get along with the wider community, and separately, are elements of the community unreasonably excluding alternate non-western viewpoints or sources from World War II related history articles.

Desired outcome

It is desired that the community review the two major issues (behavior, and content) and that a community consensus be developed for ways to proceed forwards along those two

Description

Communicat is active in Misplaced Pages generally in two major and one minor area related to modern history - World War II, and the History of South Africa, with a lesser focus on Cold War studies. Broadly speaking, Communicat has introduced a more eastern-oriented point of view and sources.

The current dispute is focused on behavioral and content issues related to Aftermath of World War II.

There are two general competing and not necessarily exclusive claims made.

That Communicat continues to insert unsourced or poorly sourced materials, promote fringe points of view, and disrupt the article; advanced by Nick-D (talk · contribs) and Edward321 (talk · contribs)
That there exists a cabal of editors working to keep the standard western history viewpoint exclusively in the articles to the exclusion of other viewpoints; advanced by Communicat (talk · contribs) - or alternately, that personal conflicts with Communicat are causing this alternate viewpoint to be needlessly excluded or not fairly considered; advanced by Petri Krohn (talk · contribs)

My apologies if the above do not adequately summarize or are somewhat biased; the editors can of course expound further below.

There has been considerable prior dispute history:

No endorsements after 48 hours. Allegations against me are thus considered dismissed forthwith. I trust they will not be resurrected again without justification. Communicat (talk) 13:13, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
