Guide for participants
|
If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.
What this noticeboard is:
- It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
- It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
- It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
- It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
- It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.
Things to remember:
- Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
- Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
- Sign and date your posts with four tildes "
~~~~ ".
- If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot 09:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
- You are correct that there hasn't been a conclusion yet, but the two users who have commented both agree that the current sources aren't good enough, and as a result the section should be taken out. Since you feel so strongly about having it, please write it up in a sandbox, add some reliable sources and ask for feedback before adding it. You have been reverted multiple times by multiple other editors, all due to the sources you have used. Re-adding the section over and over without improving the sources violates a number of policies and guidelines, most importantly the ones on verifiability and neutral point-of-view. Also, please participate in the discussion on WP:DRN by adding a statement and if needed comment on the discussion. Bjelleklang - talk 12:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
