Dispute overview I believe I have responded to all the requests for changes to this article in a timely fashion, I had them all completed within 24 hours. As I am the author of the peer reviewed patent I have disclosed this fact, which I believe would properly disclose a potential conflict of interest. That said, somehow I have failed to satisfy the reviewers and am being threatened with being blocked. I would like to have a productive discussion and am certainly open to any feedback that would help to improve the article. Numerous third party sources have been cited, and there are likely many more which could be researched by others. In addition, the mathematics and referenced patents and research are peer reviewed publications that can also be researched and cited. I have worked to respond quickly to any feedback. I don't feel this is being argumentative, I am working diligently to respond in a timely way. I would also note that I have found the reviewer comments on the article to be quite helpful, and it is evolving in a very good way. I would hope we can continue the dialog, and not end it. Although I naturally have a bias, I would still say this article has great potential for supporting academic and applied research in its field. Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have asked the reviewer for further input. How do you think we can help? I believe the article is neutral and has sufficient third party sources and peer reviewed evidence. It would help if any remaining deficiencies could be specifically identified by either a third party or the reviewer. If we can do this, then I would be pleased to agree or make any final edits.

Talk:Ooty#Did Pandyas, Cholas and Cheras ever rule Nilgiris?

Dispute overview Dispute started with user NitinBhargava2016 making edits to various articles with content related to Kannada language and people. Pls refer to User_talk:NitinBhargava2016#Edits_in_various_articles. In the article Ooty, edits notable with the history of the place were accepted with sources. The user contended the line, Nilgiris was ruled by "Tamil kingdoms" on which discussion happened and sources were provided for the same. User reverting content stating the sources are not acceptable without citing any violation/reason and adds content related to Kannada not notable with history of Ooty. Further information at the talk page: Talk:Ooty#Did Pandyas, Cholas and Cheras ever rule Nilgiris? With respect to the content in question, the sources have been quoted in the talk page. Re-producing the same here.
While the road to Ooty and further developments were made by British, the territory was a part of kingdoms who ruled over time (wherein all Kannada kingdoms have been mentioned by the user himself) and mentioned sources clearly say that it was under the control of Cheras, Cholas (Tamil kingdoms) or local chieftains at various times.
My comments pasted above denote facts and in no way indicate a non-W:NPOV. It rather indicates user doesn't have W:NPOV as explained below. User completely twisted the source by deliberately omitting "not" for source 1. NitinBhargava2016 (talk) 09:52, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
User is pasting selected portions of my comments to create a wrong picture. The source citation is in no way a concrete proof of Chera/Chola rule over Nilgiris. Author of that source doesn't affirmatively say that Nilgiris was ruled by Cholas/Cheras/Pandyas at such a point of time in history and such inscriptions of theirs was discovered as a proof. On that yardstick, one can even add Kalabhras, Nolambas, Banas, etc., to that list of Nilgiri rulers as they ruled over large tracts of South India (containing Nilgiris) for long periods. But, no. We don't. Why? Reason is that none of the historical/archaeological artefacts pointing to their rule over Nilgiris has been discovered yet, although they might have ruled, they are unlucky in the form of artefact discovery and proofs. Example : If someone says 'Not even the Mauryas, Vakatakas, Satavahanas, Abhiras or Sakas can be credited with discovering gold in Kolar', it in no way means all these dynasties ruled over Kolar, not sensible at all. Important point : Author of that source, Ravi Sagar, writes for tourism update in India Now magazine of IBEF.org. Neither is he an authority on history, nor an archaeologist or professor or research scholar. Author has not cited any references or valid sources. Wikipedia should maintain its international standards and quality by refusing to accept any such disputed content or claims from tourism writers. NitinBhargava2016 (talk) 16:03, 5 April 2016 (UTC) Have you tried to resolve this previously? Asked for intervention from third user basis which sources were provided. How do you think we can help? Require clarification as to whether sources are reputed and the content that "ruled by Tamil kingdoms" is acceptable as per guidelines. Also, require intervention on whether the content added by the user "A hero stone (Veeragallu) with a Kannada inscription at Vazhaithottam (Bale thota) in the Nilgiri District, dated to 10th century CE has been discovered." is notable and can stay. Summary of dispute by NitinBhargava2016Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
Dispute did not start with my edits to Kannada language or people. It started with user Magentic Manifestations refusing to delete 'various Tamil kingdoms ruled Nilgiris' which was inserted without any citation at all in the sole reference mentioned in the beginning '[1]' as Nilgiris is presently in Tamil Nadu, user's home state! I immediately identified that this could be a possible act of bias/parochialism/chauvinism. I politely notified the user that the sole reference doesn't say a word about rule of Tamil kingdoms over Nilgiris instead of challenging and removing it right away. User thanked and asked me to search for references instead! 1st source - User twisted citation in source by deliberately omitting the negator 'not' in 'not even the dynastic rulers—the Cheras, the Cholas, the Pandiyas, the Rashtrakutas, the Gangas, the Pallavas, the Kadambas and the Hoysalas—can be credited with discovering this jewel in their crown'.' which confirmed my suspicion. 2nd source - "The location of the Nilgiris is unique that it was in the tri-junction of ancient Tamil kingdoms of Cholas, Cheras and the Pandyas. Hence, it was under Cheras, Cholas or local chieftains at various...". Nilgiris is at the tri-junction of Kerala, Karnataka and TN and not that of Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas. Even if it were to be, the tri-junction could well be on the plains off the heights of Nilgiri plateau which is above 2 km MSL. Is this concrete and credible proof for an international encyclopaedia? No! Couldn't find user's quote in any of the versions of 'Madras District Gazetteers: The Nilgiris'. Also, 'South Asia and Multilateral Trade Regime: Disorders for Development' by C. S. Sundaresan states - 'location of the Nilgiris was in the tri junction of the ancient Tamil kingdoms of Cholas, Cheras and the Pandyas, that it attracted a great political significance from the very early stages of its development'. User has twisted it to his liking and misquotes the source as — 'Hence, it was under Cheras, Cholas or local chieftains at various...' and says 'Nilgiris have been under the rule of Cheras, Cholas or Pandyas for centuries' which the source never says directly! Its clear that the user doesn't have W:NPOV. I requested JorisvS for mediation where he clearly supported me -'Wikipedia policy requires that claims can be verified: WP:V. Another core content policy is neutral point of view: W:NPOV. Any content that violates these core policies may be summarily removed. Part of verifiability is that claims made in the article must be claims that the sources also make directly. The burden of evidence is on the editor who adds claims, not the one who challenges/removes them'. User mentions authors as S.K. Sahu and Nilamani Senapati as authors for this source 'Gazetteer of India : Nilgiris' who have commented on Nilgiris in Odisha and not Tamil Nadu. Not sure if they mention Nilgiris of TN also. Also the quote user has given is grammatically incorrect which increases the suspicion that it is not from the source. I give preference for facts and not any language in particular. Being a challenger of un-sourced, biased content, why should I have to go through all this explanation and waste my time? 3rd source - Cholas ruled from south India to Ganges, so they must have ruled Nilgiris also. Hilarious! Cholas ruled India's far south plains, and conquered up to Vengi kingdom of Godavari river delta, not all the way till Ganga in Bengal which were invaded but not conquered. Karnataka was ruled by the mighty Kalyani Chalukyas. All of Karnataka's highlands were thickly forested and inaccessible to southern plains of Kerala and Tamil Nadu except through Kolar which was the only known route. Only the natives of highlands knew the passes and secret routes to the plains and also controlled them thoroughly. Inscriptions of Hoysalas, Gangas, Kadambas, Rashtrakutas, Dannayakas, Vijayanagara emperors, Wodeyars, Mysore Sultans have been discovered which is a concrete proof. But why no such inscription/manuscript/work mentions Chera/Chola/Pandya rule over Nilgiris and the date of their rule? Isn't this sufficient evidence for removing Tamil kingdoms? User asks for the specific wiki policy where in such sources are not acceptable. I request your help for suggesting the same. WP:V, W:NPOV. To conclude, any of the Tamil kingdoms' rule over Nilgiris is only a probability, but definitely not a certainty! If there is any concrete evidence, I will be the happiest person to have the disputed content included right away in the article. I am moving the line 'A hero stone (Veeragallu) with a Kannada inscription at Vazhaithottam (Bale thota) in the Nilgiri District, dated to 10th century CE has been discovered.' to the article on Nilgiris. NitinBhargava2016 (talk) 10:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC) Hi Robert McClenon, I'm not ready to discuss this issue with user as he wants the disputed content to stay and then debate. I can't endlessly argue, I request your mediation and immediate intervention. I being a challenger of un-sourced, biased and parochial content, request you to decide on this issue. User has withdrawn the request without notifying me. Please let me know if anything else needs to be done for re-initiating this DR request here or if a new one needs to be raised. After I receive the confirmation that my request has been opened, I will notify the other user.

Hi Robert McClenon, there has been more than adequate discussion at the talk page. I do not see any point in discussing the issue with the other user any further as it doesn't seem to bear any result, is inconclusive and is still at square one from where we had started. Could you please help me take this case to another volunteer at the earliest as I am unaware of the process? Thanks,—NitinBhargava2016 (talk) 03:54, 7 April 2016 (UTC) First statement by volunteer moderatorI am, as requested, accepting this case for moderated discussion. Here are the ground rules. Be civil and concise. Civility is required (not nice-to-have) in Wikipedia, and especially in dispute resolution. Overly long posts (and some of the above posts are too long) are not helpful to identifying the issues. (I am aware that some editors think that if they write at greater length, it will be clearer or more forceful. That is a good-faith error.) Do not reply to other editors. Address your comments to the moderator (or to the community, which is the same concept). Comment on content, not on contributors. (The purpose of moderated discussion is to improve the article, not to improve or challenge other editors.) Do not engage in back-and-forth discussion; it often gets nowhere. Do not edit the talk page while moderated discussion is in progress. It is also best not to discuss on the talk page, because comments on the talk page may be ignored here. Every editor should check on the status of this case at least every 48 hours, and should reply to questions within 48 hours. I will check every 24 hours. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2016 (UTC) Please summarize, in one paragraph for each editor, what the issue or disagreement is, and what part of the article is affected. First statements by editors
Hi Robert McClenon, precisely and concisely, the dispute is regarding the line – 'various Tamil kingdoms ruled Nilgiris' in Ooty article's history section. There is conclusive proof for Chola rule over Nilgiris but not for Cheras and Pandyas which the term 'Tamil kingdoms' includes. Hence, better to replace various Tamil kingdoms with Cholas for now until reliable proof for Chera and Pandya rule are presented. For details, please refer above sections of this issue discussion as well as Ooty article's talk page. Thanks,—NitinBhargava2016 (talk) 16:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Dispute overview I am having an edit skirmish with a user who insists that the page Anarcho-capitalism belongs in the "Schools of thought" category of the Anarchism sidebar; I do not. This is a long-running dispute which needs to be resolved. I believe it violates considerations of undue weight, as stated in my comments on the Talk page. It seems clear to me that the person who is arguing for its continued inclusion is doing so for purely ideological reasons (and I won't deny having the opposite ideological stance), and s/he has repeatedly refused or failed to provide sufficiently strong arguments as well as intentionally misrepresenting my arguments. What should be the next step for a conclusive resolution as to whether or not this topic belongs on this sidebar? Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have sought consensus on the Talk page. How do you think we can help? We need a final resolution as to whether or not Anarcho-capitalism belongs in the "schools of thought" section of the Anarchism sidebar. Note that the ideological war between the yea and nay sides extends far beyond Wikipedia. I would like to see "Capitalism" (and possibly several other scarcely-relevant topics, particularly "Nationalism") removed from the "Schools of thought" section. They are mentioned in other places and, as fringe ideologies, that seems more like where they belong.

Dispute overview We are discussing about whether South Vietnam should be stated in the infobox as a belligerent or not.

Summary of dispute by Tnguyen4321Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
Why Ia Drang (or rather Why Chu Pong)? The NVA was staging an attack of the Pleime camp in the Chu Pong bases. The ARVN intended to destroy the three NVA 32nd, 33rd, and 66th Regiments with B-52 strike at the moment they regroup in assembly areas by December 1965. When the NVA decided for an earlier attack on 19 October with only the two 32nd and 33rd Regiments, the ARVN II Corps Command employed a delay tactic in repulsing the attack regiments back to Chu Pong where they rejoined the 66th Regiment to stage for a second attack of the camp. The ARVN II Corps Command requested the help of the 1st Air Cavalry Division in luring the enemy troops back to Chu Pong where they became suitable targets for B-52 strikes that went into action for 5 consecutive days from 15 to 20 November. The exploitation phase was assumed by the ARVN Airborne Brigade. This joint ARVN-US operation is narrated by BG McChristian, J2/MACV in "Intelligence Aspect of Plei Me/Chu Pong campaign (20 October to 20 November)" http://www.generalhieu.com/pleime_intel_J2-2.htm. Therefore, the two belligerents in this conflict are the NVA and the ARVN. The US only participated in an assisting role to the ARVN.

Dispute overview This has been going on for a month and we still can't come to an agreement. It started over where Deadpool as the highest grossing R-rated film of 2016 should go. HENDAWG229 thought it should go in the first week of release. I disagreed and said the 3rd week adds to it's overall total at number 1 and putting it at the 3rd week would account for it's previous two weeks at number 1. He removed it over and over again and We got into this huge edit war about it, until he ended up being blocked by UltraExactZZ, (Who wold later become the admin that tried to lead us to an agreement) After he was blocked he waited a couple of days before editing again. Once he did he removed my milestone (without notifying me) and changed it to Deadpool became the second highest grossing R-rated film of all-time ($355.1 million) behind The Passion of the Christ ($370.7 million). I told him not to mess with my edits before we reach a resolution over it. He reported me for harassment to the Arbitration. They denied his case and locked the article for a whole week with his edit still on the charts. After that our admin got more involved with us, trying to get us to come to an agreement(Which he has done a very good job at doing) so the article wouldn't be locked again. I told HENDAWG229 I would be posting a chart of highest grossing films by rating of 2016, after the thread was unlocked. Once I did he posted that I needed to come to a consensus, which I think is pointless because we don't have enough users to form a consensus. I have tried to keep the milestone (and basically any edit I have made to the article) to the page, but the user keeps or has tried to find ways to remove my edits from the charts. This is my last resort. I don't know how else to do in trying to get the user to come to an agreement with me or let me keep my contributes to the article. Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have tried to compromise with said user. Telling him that adding a chart at the bottom of the page would be end the whole dispute over where the Deadpool milestone should go on the chart and add other rated films by rating (Which I wanted to do to begin with, but got caught up in the whole arguing about Deadpool) He refused and now wants it removed How do you think we can help? I think having us come to an agreement or removing the notes and the highest grossing films of 2016 and ratings all together is the only way to stop it. I have a feeling If I tried something new he would only complain and it and try to have it removed, So i can't really think of anything else that will stop the online dispute and arguing.

Dispute overview New Zealand's "Superdiversity Stocktake: Impact on Business, Government and on New Zealand". I want to add criticism of the report. Other editors claim 1. the links I provided are "not notable" (not enough secondary coverage) 2."article is about concept not about New Zealand" 3. the article doesn't discuss conclusions of the report (so critique is out). I have linked to New Zealand's TV One Q&A to add credibility to my source who is blogger and retired Reserve Bank of New Zealand analyst Michael Reddell (Croaking Cassandra). He links to a publication by a Wellington economics consultancy (Tailrisk Economics). This is a minority opinion compared to Chen's : "banks, companies, the Human Rights Commission, and the Ministry of Education" Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have suggested adding the claims made in the Superdiversity Stocktake with (brief) criticism. How do you think we can help? clarify what constitutes "notable' criticism and the role of secondary coverage (where public interest may be limited)? Summary of dispute by Cordless LarryPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
Yonk wishes to add criticism of a report issued in New Zealand called the "Superdiversity Stocktake", which is mentioned in the article as an example of the use of the social science concept of superdiversity. My perspective is that we need to see some secondary coverage of this debate, but also that the article is really about the concept of superdiversity and is not the place to go into arguments about the impact of immigration on New Zealand. I'm not sure why this case has been opened, though. Yonk started an RfC on the article's talk page on 29 March, only to remove it today. I suggest reinstating the RfC and letting it run its course.

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute
Users involved Dispute overview There is a long-running dispute over how this person should be characterized, and what kind of content should be predominant in the article. Me, and a number of others believe he should be characterized first and foremost by his professional and academic work, and secondly by his involvement in the subcommunities he is a part of. Because this individual has doctoral degrees in philosophy and theology, publishes research primarily in philosophy and theology, and teaches philosophy at a university, I believe it is appropriate to characterize him as a philosopher. I am concerned my interlocutor's emphasis on this person as a "Christian apologist" suggests an undue emphasis on the tinge and language of religious biography. I believe insisting on religious overtones over everything else in the biography is not appropriate for a broader audience. I am not against referring to this individual's religious work, even in the lede. I just want the biography not to read with a narrow set of predominantly religious concerns. Have you tried to resolve this previously? Extensive discussion on the talk page. How do you think we can help?

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute

Dispute overview The issue is whether the word "Aghet" (Catastrophe), used as a proper name, should be in the article lead as a name that Armenians use as an alternative name for the Armenian Genocide. There is an alternative Armenian name, "Medz Yeghern", already in the lead and Aghet would be used alongside it as a further alternative name. However, despite Numerous sources being presented showing Aghet is a name for the Armenian Genocide, including some stating that Aghet is the most common Armenian name used, Diranakir has on three occasions deleted Aghet from the lead. On the talk page the two editors opposing the insertion, Diranakir and Armen Ohanian, have based their argument for exclusion on what I see as "I don't like It" grounds. They have presented a mix of their personal I don't like it opinions together with a few web-based sources (opinion pieces published in online Armenian media) that express an opposition to the use of "Aghet". Diranakir and Armen Ohanian appear to want the article to obey the opinion of those few sources. I don't see any progress being made in the talk page. Both Diranakir and Armen Ohanian don't appear to be actually disputing that Aghet is a term for the Armenian Genocide that is used by Armenians. They just don't want it there (in the lead or anywhere in the article) because they don't like the word. Have you tried to resolve this previously? On the talk page I have provided 12 references (all printed books) that explicitly refer to Aghet as being a name used for the Armenian Genocide, and have provided quotations from those sources. I have also provided some web only sources, but have not gone into those in detail, preferring to look for academic sources in published books. How do you think we can help? Have some third party voices explain to Diranakir and Armen Ohanian that personally disliking something is not a reason to exclude that something. And that sources which express dislike for the use of the word "Aghet" cannot be used as a reason to exclude that word from the article because they actually indicate that the term exists, is used, and is notable.

Users involved Dispute overview I'm writing the Draft:Natalia Toreeva, about the artist, the art group "School of Sidlin", and the time of repression at time of 1970s, which brought art to its high point. But I received 4th time of rejection, since it is not notable and need more rel. sources. I also do my contributions to another wiki pages related to the art and artists I knew at that time. Many of them already dead, and people are asking to write about that time of Art in USSR. But how I can contribute to other pages, if this draft can't be approved. One prev. editor sent question to Teahouse editors to look into it, and someone wrote that if the artist was part of the Art movement in USSR and now immigrated to USA it could automatically look as notability. I also looked in another examples, for ex. A. Belkin artist, it is very small input and was accepted. I understand, may be editing or grammar is needed to be improved, but reject the article for the same reason, looks the editors don't have enough knowledge in the art of USSR. And after the falling of USSR, this art is now under new beginning in Russia. And reject these kind of article is a big hole in understanding this art on the West. Have you tried to resolve this previously? I added more sources for info, added pics, and tried to talk with each person who rejected the article, but looks the same repetition answer from another prev. editors. How do you think we can help? If I compare with another example (A. Belkin) article, or other artists, whom I knew in St. Petersburg, and their articles were accepted, I tried to follow the same structure, but looks my article is longer than those. So you might want to reduce, or editing the article itself, but the content of the article about the artist and that time, is important part in the art history of USSR, so to reject the article is a big mistake, specif you ask my contrib. to Unofficial art of Russia article.

Dispute overview User HistoryofIran added Perisan spelling on the article about the monument in Azerbaijan. He explained his act as the Shirvanshas were Persiaized in the 11th century and had Persian identity even at the period when the palace was formed. I explained him on a talkpage that the building of the palace was built in 15th century during the lates dynasty of the Shirvanshahs, Derbendids, and there is no any sources claiming that Derbendids were Persians because the population of the region were Turkicizated after the conquest of the region by the Seljuq Turks and this process was continued in subsequent centuries during the migration of Turkic groups during the Mongol conquests in the 13th century. Have you tried to resolve this previously? I asked users to show any source claiming that the founders of the palace (Derbendids) were Persians. They still didn't show such source (only sources about Persianisation of Shirvenshahs in the 11 century which cannot be related to the latest Dynasty due to ethnic processes in the region). How do you think we can help? I think third persons who have experience in resolving such disputes may gave fairly decission and prevent further edit wars.

Dispute overview I proposed to add a mention of a study on SIDS concerning the effect of fan use on the risk. One study has been done on this issue, so the link is not considered established. However, several high-quality secondary sources discuss the fact that the study was done. I believe it makes sense for the wiki article to refer to the fact that this study was done, in some form or another. I am NOT advocating that the wiki article assert that fans reduce SIDS use, which I think would be an improper dependence on primary sources in a medical article. Several editors have objected, although now some editors are also agreeing that it is appropriate to mention the study in some way. To me it seems that the main objections are: 1) If we mention this study, then some parents might think that by using a fan, they can ignore other SIDS recommendations. To me, this objection is a violation of WP:MEDMOS. Specifically, we should not "emphasize or de-emphasize verifiable facts so that readers will make the 'right' choice in the real world." (In this case, the verifiable fact was that one limited study was done, which found a beneficial effect from fans.) 2) We should not mention the study, because it does not appear in the AAP policy statements on SIDS. To me, this seems to be in disagreement with WP:MEDMOS, specifically, the directive that we are writing for a general audience, instead of an audience of patients and practitioners, which are the audience of the AAP guidelines. In particular, some members of a general audience (e.g., scientists, people without babies, etc.) will be interested in the state of research on connections with SIDS, even if they are not solid enough for clinical recommendations. The fact that several high-quality secondary sources mention the study on fans should suffice to justify its inclusion. If we restrict the article to only include items from the AAP policy directives, we are writing for a limited audience. Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have tried hard to have a comprehensive and productive discussion on the talk page. I have tried to engage constructively with all objections raised there. (On a separate note, Jytdog has said that he is now WP:SHUNing me, so I'm not sure whether or not he will participate.) How do you think we can help? Despite my (and presumably, others') efforts, the discussion on the talk page as been quite unfocused. It seems like it should be possible to reach consensus on some basic questions, such as: should the wiki article only discuss AAP policy proposals on SIDS? When is it not appropriate to include verifiable facts which are discussed in high-quality secondary sources? And hopefully, this would start the process of drafting something we can all agree on.

There was a discussion that was already underway when I came across it, 28 comments were already listed and so I thought a fresh voice might help. There are a number of parts of the Wikipedia SIDS article that aren't up-to-date or well written. But this was a discussion that appeared to centre around the relative merits of making use of a study that had looked at whether fans might alter risk. SIDS is a diagnosis that is made post-mortem and our understanding of some of the risks has been changing over time. There have been attempts at systematic review of the available evidence, with one of the most prominent examples of this published by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2011. There are aspects of SIDS that are more straightforward to analyse, so there are some recommendations that have some weight of evidence behind them. We should not be giving undue prominence to research that is flawed or where there is sufficient doubt about the validity of the findings.

Users involved Dispute overview Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon retired from the House of Lords under House of Lords Reform Act 2014 on 31 March 2016. According to the Act, the retirement took effect at the beginning of the date (i.e. on midnight). Therefore, he was not a member of the House of Lords at any point of his retirement date, which is merely a technicality, because the beginning of a date is the same moment as the end of the preceding date. I originally put 30 March as his term end date on infobox, because this was the last day, when he was a member of the House of Lords. 15zulu disagreed with me on which date should be given as the term end date. He thinks that it should be 31 March, because this is the official retirement date. Thus, we have a disagreement on whether to use the resignation date or the last day when a person actually held the mentioned position as a term end date in an infobox. Often these are the same day, but when a resignation takes effect on midnight, these can be different. Have you tried to resolve this previously? First, we discussed the issue on 15zulu's user talk. Then he added the topic on WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom talk. How do you think we can help? You might give us information on practices or opinions on which date should be used as the end date for a term of office in an infobox. Summary of dispute by 15zuluAll sources give one date, 31 March 2016. The current discussion at the project page has Cassandro and me stating that we should use the date as reported by sources and only one user, Editor FIN, saying we should use a date that's not in any sources regarding Armstrong-Jones. Editor FIN has also failed to provide any examples on Wikipedia or elsewhere where the end of term is before the retirement date, instead arguing that it's my burden to prove. Since he wants a date which is different than all the sources, than it's his burden to convince other that we should use this other date. 15zulu (talk) 22:26, 19 April 2016 (UTC) Summary of dispute by CassandroPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.

In this case, taking reliable source A, the retirement date of an individual, and combining it with reliable source B, the House of Lords Reform Act 2014, to conclude C that the last date of actual service of that individual is the day before the retirement date is exactly what that policy prohibits. To use that date as the retirement date or, indeed, even as the last day of service, requires a reliable source which directly says that. (I would also, as a lawyer, add that this kind of synthesis is particularly dangerous — though it would be prohibited even if absolutely safe — because there are often wrinkles or subtleties in laws which make the application of them unclear or uncertain even if they appear to be clear and certain on their face or on first blush. This particular law may be less subtle than others, but the general principle is the same.) There's thus no legitimate dispute here and nothing to discuss here.

Dispute overview The issue is emerged after a brief edit war. Some unregistered editor kept adding the information about some past technical issue of Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. To put it short, for some users the "sleep" function of these devices was not functioning properly. This issue was resolved with a routine software update in the February 2016. I think, that this and such information has a non-encyclopedic nature and should not be included into Wikipedia. Some other editor insists it should. My opinion is based on WP:IINFO and WP:UNDUE Wikipedia policies, other editor is yet to have to provide his rationale. This issue is still unresolved, and I do not want to participate in the edit war, so I temporarily ceased my Wikipedia activity. Have you tried to resolve this previously?

(The dmy format is also the default in the various referencing tools.) Have you tried to resolve this previously? The user then reverted this edit, claiming that the subject of the article is American. I pointed out that the second paragraph of WP:MOSNUM agrees with me on this, and that the dmy format is also the first listed in MOS:DATEFORMAT. Additionally, the subject of the article also holds Italian citizenship. I waited a day, and with no response reverted the References section once again to conform. This user reverted today without justification.
How do you think we can help? 1. Can we inform this user that databases (Wikidata) and external APIs may be expecting the reference dates to be listed in a expected and sortable format? 2. Do we need to modify the citation interfaces to suit the preference of this single user? I am going to continue to use the interface which prefills dmy in the accessdate parameter. 3.

List of state leaders

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute

Dispute overview There is a dispute going on between I and Zoltan Bukovszky over the necessity of the inclusion of acting state leaders on articles such as List of state leaders in 2006, 2007, et al. serving concurring during the tenure of an incapacitated president. Both I and GoodDay would like to remove these state leaders from inclusion as we believe that since there had not been vacancy at the time their inclusion is merely trivial as the de jure president had always been, for example Fidel Castro or José Ramos-Horta, etc. regardless of their temporary incapacity. Zoltan wholly disagrees with this assertion and remains strongly of the view that acting state leaders serving concurrently should indeed be included fully (equally bulleted below the de jure president temporarily incapacitated). I soon came up with a compromise of a footnote, i.e. giving mention to these leaders albeit in a footnote neatly tucked away if a reader was interested. Zoltan then proceeded to dismiss this option as a compromise. We are now stuck. I, for one, believe there to be a major consistency flaw, e.g. both Ronald Reagan and Hugo Chávez were widely perceived to have been incapacitated during their incapacities in 1981 and 2012–13 respectively—yet neither had used Acting presidents unlike Castro and Ramos-Horta. The impression that this may give to readers may or may not be worthy of note—although it remains my view that this is an excessive use of WP:WEIGHT to display these acting de facto leaders on par with the actual de jure president that has become merely incapacitated (not suspended) on a temporary basis. Have you tried to resolve this previously? A compromise option, i.e. including the acting de facto state leaders serving concurrently in a footnote, has been endorsed both by myself and GoodDay. Zoltan duly dismisses this option as a credible compromise. How do you think we can help? A thorough review of the compromise option could perhaps prove to be a good idea. Contrary to Zoltan's viewpoint that the footnote option is a "deletion of relevant information", the footnote does actually give a greater background and/or insight to the (constitutional, etc.) situation at hand than the current status quo that is without any such footnote. Summary of dispute by Zoltan BukovszkyPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
- These articles are about state leaders, so if someone served as acting president or acting prime minister, then they should naturally be listed in the article. - Footnotes can be used to explain the background and reasons of the incumbent's leave of absence, if necessary. - As per our previous discussion Neve-selbert wants to include an acting president when the substantive president is undergoing an impeachment process, but not when they are incapacitated for medical reasons. This distinction is irrelevant because both causes lead to the same end result: office holder on leave of absence, and their powers temporarily exercised by the acting leader. On the other hand GoodDay only wants to include acting leaders where there is no substantive office holder - which to me appears inconsistent (sometimes the acting leader became the next substantive office holder upon the previous incumbent's death, resignation or impeachment). - Wikipedia editors shouldn't try to overwrite history based on what should have happened. If Reagan and Chavez did not have acting presidents then none should be invented for them, but if Castro and Ramos-Horta had acting presidents during their incapacity, then those should be included. - Deleting or hiding acting leaders in a footnote would bereave the article of people who actually led their countries, sometimes for quite a considerable time (in the case of Raúl Castro, Phoumi Vongvichit and Gerald Cash it was several years).

Moderating Volunteer's First StatementThis dispute already has obviously been extensively discussed on a talk page, and I think what is missing is what each party's definition of "incapacitated" because I think it may be at the root of the problem. Would each side please state their definition of "incapacitated"? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 14:12, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
I do like the idea of a footnote, but the problem is that we can't get all parties involved to agree. I will confirm that all parties have been sufficiently notified (ZBukov), and if so we should probably begin considering options that everyone would agree with (assuming all editors appear).

Dispute overview Stevietheman has repeatedly removed a direct quotation with regard to the Lil Wayne/ Dr Boyce Watkins controversy. First Stevietheman has argued that citations require notability and then that the citation violated [Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons biographies]. Stevietheman seems to be confused about rules for citations. Direct quotations from primary sources do not require notability nor do they require secondary sources. Stevietheman has also violated the three revert rule in an attempt to dominate the dispute. I have made attempts to talk on the page and on his talk page with no response.
I have tried updating my edits to remove any potential bias and requested advice on how to incorporate the quotation. I have also tried to inform Stevietheman of the rules. How do you think we can help? Perhaps multiple third parties should attempt to find a way of inserting the quotation in an unbiased manner that reflects the nature of Dr. Boyce Watkins quote. This quotation provides relevant biographical information and other quotations by Dr. Boyce WAtkins help imbibe readers with a sense as to who Dr. Boyce Watkins is.

Dispute overview Editor believes that quotations from primary source materials from living people also need secondary source materials. I have posted a source with a video of Dr Boyce watkins making a statement directly related to the appropriate topic of the wikipedia section. The citation was appropriate, verifieable, and reliable. The editor seems to want to dominate the page in an attempt to exert some sort of control. He has fabricated his own rules and insisted that they must be followed Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have tried to explain the rules to stevietheman. I have also made edits that could have been perceived as problematic. How do you think we can help? I believe if primary citations from reliable and verifieable sources require secondary sources as well this rule needs to be made explicit. Otherwise a third party should find the best way to enter the quotation and explain as best as possible that Stevietheman is not entitled to create his own rules. Summary of dispute by SteviethemanThis is a WP:BLP and therefore we have to be especially careful. The editor wanting to add a quote from a video is selectively pulling a quote they think has context but also appears to be an attempt to place the subject in an unflattering light, to paint the subject a particular way. They believe just because the subject said something in a primary source that it can be added, just because it relates to other content. The problem is that they are subjectively deciding the context of its inclusion. If what Watkins said here is so noteworthy, it would have been covered in secondary sources somewhere, like the other similar content was, showing its contextual relation. When did this quote from the subject's uploaded video become newsworthy? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:00, 23 April 2016 (UTC) Re: "The editor seems to want to dominate the page in an attempt to exert some sort of control. He has fabricated his own rules and insisted that they must be followed." No such thing has occurred. I have referred to the policies/guidelines of this site in my disagreement with the inclusion of this material. But if you want to talk about exerting control, the IP editor wanting to decide the newsworthiness of something on their own is a problem, and also there's an issue where even in the middle of our discussing this, the IP editor kept reverting back to their version. The proper approach would be to rollback to the previous version and keep it there until we had reached some form of resolution. That and WP:BLP requirements are why I kept reverting back.

Dispute overview I am having an edit skirmish with a user who insists that the page Anarcho-capitalism belongs in the "Schools of thought" category of the Anarchism sidebar; I do not. This is a long-running dispute which needs to be resolved. I believe it violates considerations of undue weight, as stated in my comments on the Talk page. It seems clear to me that the person who is arguing for its continued inclusion is doing so for purely ideological reasons (and I won't deny having the opposite ideological stance), and s/he has repeatedly refused or failed to provide sufficiently strong arguments as well as intentionally misrepresenting my arguments. What should be the next step for a conclusive resolution as to whether or not this topic belongs on this sidebar? Have you tried to resolve this previously? I have sought consensus on the Talk page. How do you think we can help? We need a final resolution as to whether or not Anarcho-capitalism belongs in the "schools of thought" section of the Anarchism sidebar. Note that the ideological war between the yea and nay sides extends far beyond Wikipedia. I would like to see "Capitalism" (and possibly several other scarcely-relevant topics, particularly "Nationalism") removed from the "Schools of thought" section. They are mentioned in other places and, as fringe ideologies, that seems more like where they belong. Summary of dispute by Knight of BAAWAPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
This edit-war against anarchocapitalism has been ongoing for at least a decade. In that time, it has been decided on the anarchism talk page and the template talk page time and again to be inclusive in spite of the feelings of those who do not like capitalism. And this time is more of the same, which is just hatred. In fact, 24.197.253.43 called the inclusion of anarchocapitalism on the template page "vandalism". Should you think I am misquoting him, I assure you that I am not. To wit: "I do not apologize for the reversion war with User:Knight of BAAWA as I consider the inclusion of "Anarcho-capitalism" to be vandalism. S/he clearly has an ideological axe to grind and their claims of neutrality are laughable." And we have the usual from Eduen with scarce-quotes, and other sundry who are just lumping in with hate instead of trying to make the template better. This is simply yet another bad-faith edit on the part of those who have an ideological axe to grind against anarchocapitalism. Period. Nothing more. Wikipedia is supposed to be inclusive and objective, yet time and again those with an ideological axe to grind against anarchocapitalism refuse to accept that, preferring instead to exclude due to their own biases. Now I'm not saying that I'm not biased: I am. However, I hold to the inclusive idea of Wikipedia. Otherwise, for instance, on the christianity page there'd be edit wars with the protestants vs the catholics or jws or some other sect trying to remove mention of one or the other. You can see where this leads: chaos for Wikipedia. Far better to be inclusive. Further, it seems those who do not like anarchocapitalism do not understand what "fringe" means on Wikipedia. They think "fringe" means "minority position", when it means something much different. Quoting from "What Fringe is Not", we find "WP:FRINGE has nothing to do with politics or opinions. (For example, a small political party may be a fringe party, but it is not appropriate to cite FRINGE when discussing such parties.) Politics and opinions may be on 'the fringe' of public perception, but the matter of our FRINGE guideline deals directly with what can be proven or demonstrated using the scientific method by academics, scholars, and scientists. Political opinions about recent history, future predictions, social opinion, and popular culture cannot be fringe because the basis of the opinion is not scientific or academic." and "WP:FRINGE is most often abused in political and social articles where better policies such as WP:NPOV or WP:UNDUE are appropriate. Citing WP:FRINGE in discussions and edit summaries is often done by POV pushers in an attempt to demonize viewpoints which contradict their own." We can see that fringe is being attempted, and was abused already by Iterrexconsul, whereupon I had to quote him the entirety of What Fringe Is Not on his talk page to get him to understand. So let us embrace inclusivity and objectivity. I do hope the other editors will agree that this is a good thing. - Knight of BAAWA (talk) 22:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC) Summary of dispute by InterrexconsulThe editor Knight of BAAWA has continuously fought for the inclusion of "Anarcho-Capitalism" on the template for the side bar for Anarchism, specifically under the "Schools of Thought" section. However, the vast preponderance of scholars contend that, despite the name, anarcho-capitalism is not a form of anarchism. The greatest objections most scholars have to it being considered anarchism is the fact that it not only condones, but encourages the concept of private property, which one of anarchism's central tenets is to oppose. The key issue at hand is that of all groups of people, there is only one informed group that would define anarcho-capitalism as an anarchist school of thought, that is its own adherents (which Knight of BAAWA has clearly show he/she is one, frequently calling all who disagree "haters"). Every other reputable source that has more than a passing knowledge of anarchism, both adherents and independent scholars, instead label it as being a type of libertarianism. I would contend that the relationship between Anarcho-Capitalism and Anarchism is the same as that of National Socialism and Socialism. While they both share perhaps a vague concept of the role of government (Ancaps and anarchists saying none, National Socialists and Socialists saying centralized), the only other similarity is in the name, and in fact once examined at any depth they are revealed to be in fact very very different indeed. So, I would propose that Anarcho-Capitalism not be included as a school of thought of anarchism. However, I do believe the debate as to its nature is relevant and can be included in the sidebar under “issues”.

Basically most of the general sources on anarchism do not include this strange combination of words called "anarcho-capitalism" as a form of anarchism and as a matter of fact don´t even mention it. The few works that mention it tend to say that it is a part of right wing politics and radical economic liberalism and, as such, contrary to one of the main characteristics of anarchism which has always been and continues to be, anti-capitalism. Even though we have different editors who remove that thing from this template, as can be seen by anyone in the page of edits of the talk section, user Knight of BAAWA keeps bringing it back and it is a sort of personal crusade of his to do this. This happens even though everyone tells him more or less the same thing. Mainly that anarcho-capitalism is not included in general sources as part of anarchism and that it is such a minoritarian position historically and geographically that it does not deserve inclusion within "anarchists schools of thought" even thogh that does not mean that the wikipedia article "anarchocapitalism" should be deleted. I don´t think it should be deleted since it does have a significant literature but mainly one located very clearly within US economic liberal and right wing problematics and agendas. As such political agendas historically considered by anarchism as enemies to fight againts even to the point of resorting to high levels of violence as this very anti-capitalist large anarchist political action shows.--Eduen (talk) 06:54, 14 April 2016 (UTC) Summary of dispute by N-HHPer Eduen and Interrexconsul. There's a clear dispute about classifying Anarcho-capitalism (and similarly National Anarchism) as a form of anarchism in authoritative sources, and even among anarcho-capitalist writers themselves, and hence WP should not classify it that way definitively, while nonetheless acknowledging the connection. It's quite a simple problem in that respect, but the debate is being made additionally difficult by one editor repeatedly insisting it has to be simply and definitively classified that way regardless, merely on their say-so, and constantly berating anyone who questions that on an objective basis as a "hater". Even compromise proposals are simply vetoed and any changes edit-warred out.

First statement by volunteerI have read the discussion and surrounding context. It appears that this dispute and discussion boils down to whether placing anarcho-capitalism as a school of thought in the infobox represents due weight or undue weight and whether anarcho-capitalism is an anarchic viewpoint at all, according to the general scholarship. I believe that a closer examination at the outside viewpoints relating to these issues may help in formulating a solution. Can the parties present specific, prominent sources which either discuss or convey a viewpoint on anarcho-capitalism and its relation to anarchism? Esquivalience t 01:44, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Dispute overview This person's death was made public on Jan. 5th, 2016. The death was stated as having happened "a few days before Christmas" (see http://www.tmz.com/2016/01/05/riley-martin-dead-howard-stern-show/ ). Shortly afterwards, an anonymous IP added "Dec. 22 2015" as the date of death to Martin's page, with no source. Numerous websites published the story without a date of death specified. 21 hours later, the New York Daily News published "Dec 22" as the date of death, and attributed the source of the info as a statement from Howard Stern - however, the statement that the article linked to did not specify a date of death, nor had Stern announced a date of death. Legacy.com subsequently published Dec 22 as the date of death, but as Legacy gets all of its info from newspapers (they state this themselves on their website), I believe they are a tertiary source, and got this particular bit of info from the NYDN.
Have you tried to resolve this previously? None, other than engaging the other editor in a discussion; however, since he has resorted to profanity, and calling me a "jerk", I believe that is probably a dead end at this point. How do you think we can help? I'm hoping that Legacy.com is first established as being a tertiary source, that draws its info from newspapers, and as such, should not be used as a source, and instead the newspaper in question can be considered. After that step, useful discussion as to whether the NYDN date of death is reliable can ensue.

Dispute overview Some episodes of show have aired online, but not yet on terrestrial platforms. One user insists that information from said episodes should not be added to the page until the episode airs on terrestrial television, claiming the show was primarily created for same. The other user notes that (a) the program has widely aired and is available to millions of viewers, so there is no reason to reject the information, and (b) other programs that air online have their information added regardless of whether they have had terrestrial airings. Have you tried to resolve this previously? We've debated it back and forth, but seem to be at an impasse. How do you think we can help? I feel Kiraroshi1976 may be more willing to listen if he feels that other editors have a consensus that disagrees with his. And, while I doubt you'd convince me that I am wrong if the consensus goes against me, because I do feel I have the right of things (I wouldn't be debating it otherwise), I'd still recognise that there was no point continuing the debate and drop the matter. Summary of dispute by Kiraroshi1976Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
The episode has not aired on television. The article does not include online viewing. It only states Fox, ITV, and Global. It has not even aired on Fox or Global yet. I realize that there could be online versions of an episode, but that should be covered in the Broadcast section once the episode airs. There is no official online network for the series. If there was, I would not have an issue.- Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 04:46, 25 April 2016 (UTC) Summary of dispute by User: 86.160.202.23Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.

First statement by volunteer moderatorI am opening this case for moderated discussion here. Here are a few ground rules. First, every participant is expected to check on the status of this case at least every 48 hours, and to respond to all questions by the moderator within 48 hours. I will check at least every 24 hours. Be civil and concise. Civility is required everywhere in Wikipedia and especially in dispute resolution. Overly lengthy posts do not help clarify the issues. Comment on content, not on contributors. Any comments that are either uncivil or about contributors (rather than content) may be hatted. Do not engage in threaded or back-and-forth discussion. Comments should be made to the moderator and the community, not to other participants, because back-and-forth discussion tends to go on and on without result. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC) I see that the main issue appears to be whether episodes that have been broadcast via certain media but not others should be mentioned. Is that the only issue, or are there others? Why should or should not these episodes be included? How does a viewpoint relate to the guideline on spoilers? Are there any other issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC) First statements by editorsThat appears to be the only issue remaining. I believe the other editor now acknowledges NowTV is a valid, legitimate and authorised broadcaster for the programme online (and if I have that wrong, he can correct me). I feel that once the episodes have been made publicly available, they can and should be included, just like other shows that air online; he/she seems to feel it only counts once it has been broadcast on terrestrial television, despite it being available on multiple platforms. Spoilers should be irrelevant to the discussion, because of Wikipedia:Spoiler ("It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot"), but that was never raised as an issue anyway. It was only a disagreement about what constituted an episode having "aired." 86.160.202.101 (talk) 23:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC) Second statement by moderatorOne editor has stated their position, and agrees that the only issue has to do with whether to include segments that have been broadcast by one medium and not another. I am still waiting (for the next 24 hours) for a statement from User:Kiraroshi1976. Do they have anything to say about the scope of this case, or about their reasoning for excluding certain episodes? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:09, 30 April 2016 (UTC) Second statements by editorsNow that a sufficient source for Online programming was supplied, I have no problems. I updated the page to reflect the Online programming based on the source. Those episodes can be updated to a small summary. I believe the issue is now closed. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 04:48, 30 April 2016 (UTC) Third statements by editorsIn that case, I too consider it closed. 86.160.202.103 (talk) 16:22, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Dispute overview 1.1.What is a groat? There is a lack of an explicit definition of the word 2.2. I included Matt Lunker talk page where we had "extensive discussion of the matter"; I placed it on his page because he was the one who took exception to my contribution. Please note, that I made three "good-faith attempts" to tailor the definition to accommodate his concerns, and every time an adverse determination was made, the article was reverted back to the previous version. 3.3 Maybe I was not clear, every time I try to meet his criteria, he shoots me down, as far as he is concerned if you want more information, one should click on the groat wiki-link; Before Wikipedia or even the internet was introduced to the general public, I found that articles employed a type of Socratic method, namely before discussing a matter in depth, one would define the terms that would be used through out the article. I understand, why a wiki-link would be used if one wanted more information. But if it over-used, it promotes a form of intellectual laziness, where a person does not take the time to develop their ideas so it can become more accessible. Now for a person who is just beginning to understand the subject matter, it is like asking some to look up a word they do not understand, and then find out it is explain in terms of other words they do not understand (sort of like a nested loop). I was under the impression that Wikipedia mission, is to make knowledge accessible to all, but it is hard to do if the other party decides the matter is closed.

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute
Users involved Dispute overview There is a local urban legend that the film "Mad Max" was partly filmed at the "Stockton Beach Tin City". A local newspaper did an investigative journalism piece two years ago, and concluded that this was not the case, and that it is a myth. The main internet Mad Max fansite has also chimed in stating that these scenes were filmed at "Avalon Beach" in Melbourne. Despite this, the user AussieLegend has continuously refused to include these contrary claims in the Wikipedia page, insisting that the myth be presented as fact. This has been ongoing for two years. Can we please be allowed to include both sides of the story to provide a NPOV?
Two years of edits and Talk Page comments by myself (as an anonymous editor), my boyfriend (as an anonymous editor), local historian Graeme Steinbeck, and the user "DESiegel". We have pointed out that the evidence in support of the claim is thin (local tourist company claims, a retracted statement from a politician, and a caption from a photo site), while the newspaper investigation is rigorous.
Provide guidance to include both sides of the story. Also, remove two incorrect references that have been provided in support of the claim: one is from a book (but on reading actually claims that Mad Max II - a different film - was filmed at Broken Hill, many hundreds of miles away), the other is a parliamentary claim from a politician about the film being made there, but in the Newcastle Herald article, he apologised for "misleading parliament" and retracted it.

Summary of dispute by JimMarlorHere is the report from the local newspaper: http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac;jsessionid=B718982E12D3E1FDB2EA30DB6F80FE49?sy=afr&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=1month&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=brs&cls=18878&clsPage=1&docID=NCH131207K97A252G9NF
Here is the fansite citing that these scenes were filmed on Avalon Beach and that the film was made entirely in Melbourne Victoria: http://www.madmaxmovies.com/making/madmax/
.
Meanwhile, the following references in support of the claim are dubious:
* Australia, Explore (1 January 2010). Holiday in New South Wales EBook: Does not include the claim. It is talking about a different film and city entirely.
* NSW Parliamentary Hansard: This claim was rescinded in an interview with the MP in the newspaper article linked above.
.
The rest of the references are not rigorous enough to justify a single point of view, and just repeat the urban legend with no primary sources:
* "Tin City Sand Dune Adventure Tour" - a promotional claim from the defunct website of a cruise company.
* "Tin City Dweller" - single caption from a defunct photo site.
.
Let's include both sides of the story. A rigorous newspaper article should be at least as weighty as a caption from a photo site or a claim from a local cruise operator. Summary of dispute by AussieLegendJimMarlor has grossly misrepresented the duration of this matter. In November 2013 Wikitout began disruptively editing Stockton Beach. He was subsequently indef-blocked but resorted to serial sockpuppetry in order to continue disrupting Wikipedia. After he was blocked he approached an editor at a local newspaper that resulted in an opinion piece sourced to a blocked editor and the owner of a self acknowledged fansite, neither of which are reliable sources. An editor subsequently tried to use the puff piece as a source for a claim that filming did not occur. It was added and removed once in January 2014 and discussed over a period of less than 3 hours. Then there was nothing more until yesterday when a series of related IPs tried to use the unreliable opinion piece and the fansite as references to oppose the claims in the article. DESiegel isn't even involved in the current discussion and hasn't edited the article or talk page since January 2014. JimMarlor's attempt to involve him appears to be canvassing. Using IPs, JimMarlor has posted on the article's talk page as 3 different people, "Blake", "Jim" and "John Page". He has indicated that he is willing to edit-war,[5] and that he has created at least 20 accounts with which to do so.[6][7] Accordingly, I have opened an SPI report that may be seen here. My summary of the current dispute is that Blake/Jim/John Page/JimMarlor is unwilling to accept that NSW state parliament Hansard,[8] and a news article from The Newcastle Herald,[9] are reliable sources,[10] while claiming that a poorly sourced opinion piece (which was most definitely not "investigative journalism"!) and a fansite are acceptable sources. JimMarlor relies far too much on unreliable sources. For example, the "local historian" that he mentions above was Wikitout. One of his most ridiculous claims was that a wind turbine on Kooragang Island had been removed in 2013.[11] This is a photo of the wind turbine that I took on 17 February 2014 on Kooragang Island, 2.5 months after Wikitout had said it had been removed with the edit summary, "Look out the window dopey". --AussieLegend (✉) 12:57, 6 May 2016 (UTC) Talk:Stockton Beach discussionPlease keep discussion to a minimum before being opened by a volunteer.
