Scott Baio
Closed as declined. The other editor has declined to participate in discussion, and moderated discussion is voluntary. The other editor cites behavioral problems. Questions about policy may be asked at various forums such as the Teahouse (and should be asked accurately and neutrally). Either editor may report conduct issues by another editor at WP:ANI, preferably after reading the boomerang essay, and taking care not to throw a stick at a kangaroo that isn't there.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview There is a section regarding the political beliefs of Baio that's referenced topics that allows one to misconstrue Scott's beliefs, options and actions as representative of an entire political party, and done so in a way that "others" a group of people. Per Neutral Politics and Criticism, I requested that these topics be moved to a "Criticisms of..." sub article. I do not feel that there has been constructive discussion of this move, and would like an independent eye to look it over for input and advice on making this move. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Scott_Baio&action=edit§ion=10 How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I would like a review of the discussed topics for fit under Neutral Politics, and Criticism... particularly when the topics conflate the actions or beliefs of an individual as representative of an entire political party. One reviewed, I would like suggestions on how to address this issue, particularly if moving to a "Criticism of..." sub article is inappropriate.

. The article content is not totally at issue per se, but rather how it beyond the scope of the section related to political beliefs and should be re-located. Where it sits now, and in its context would imply that Scott's personal opinion is representative of a given political ideology, which is editorializing rather than describing. 2601:205:C003:6300:D820:FACB:5F9C:4338 (talk) 02:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

2024 Russian presidential election
Very limited discussion so far, which has been aggressive at best, combative at worst. Before you can file at the DRN there must have been extensive Good Faithed effort to resolve this dispute yourself. At this point, I would recommend extended (longer than 3 or 4 messages) discussion trying to find a compromise, or a WP:3O or maaaaaaybe an WP:RFC But at this point- a DRN is premature.

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview I have tried to add a line in the lead stating that prominent Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been banned from running in the election, possibly due to political motivations. This was the case in the 2018 election, and was noted in the lead of that election's article (Navalny has been in the news a bit recently, but was already banned from running in any elections since 2017 until after 2028). Mr Savva keeps removing this content however, and when I took it to the talk page the user was very reluctant and slow to reply to the first message and carried on editing the article regardless, and now some days later have started removing the content without replying to the talk page discussion at all (they have only made one short entry on that list some time ago, and only made that after I sent them a message on their talk page asking them to participate in the debate). I've repeatedly reminded them to engage in the talk page debate, but they just insist in edit summaries that because the information is already in the body of the article (disqualified candidates) section then it can't be in the lead. But surley the lead should summarise important points in the article? How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk:2024_Russian_presidential_election#Mr_Savva - I have attempted an extensive discussion over the last week and outlined my points in quite a lot of detail but the other user has stopped engaging in the debate, [3] - I tried to encourage them to reply to the talk page as they were starting to ignore it
Since the user is not complying by not participating in the talk page discussion, I just wanted some input to advise whether the inclusion of this content is allowed and to confirm whether it is wrong to prohibit the inclusion of a mention in the lead because "it is already in the main body of the article". I would have thought the purpose of the lead is to summarise important points in the main body.

Closed. This is not an article content dispute. The filing unregistered editor has been ranting about this article and its subject for two years, and has been warned and blocked.

One editor has been hovering and removing every reference to her activism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Binksternet ) . They have engaged on open attacks on the transgender community themselves and posts constant threats and attacks on my talk page.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview For the past several years, I and another editor have been arguing over what the Jefferson Starship band article (and related articles) should focus on and include. I contend that the article should contain information about the Jefferson Starship band that was formed in 1974, with emphasis on its founding members, its contributions to music history—particularly its hit-making years, and then a segue into the post-1992 use of the band name for a variety of configurations and projects to the present. The Jefferson Starship article should contain some information about Jefferson Airplane but not be overdone with details of Jefferson Airplane which disbanded several years before the Jefferson Starship band began and is thoroughly covered in the Jefferson Airplane article. The other editor insists that a copious history of Jefferson Airplane must be included with emphasis on Paul Kantner's and Grace Slick's involvement. I do believe that edit warring has taken place over that time span. I think we have had consensus on only one occasion.
How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I'm hoping to get objective opinions about the dispute and at least allow for getting both arguments stated so that the reader can decide.

Music (2021 film)
Closed. There are at least two problems with this filing. First, the filing lists eight editors including the filer, and DRN normally does not work well with large numbers of editors. Second, it isn't clear what the filing editor wants to discuss. Only two of the other seven editors have responded, and neither of them seems to want to take part in moderated discussion. Discussion at the article talk page is continuing, except that it, like the comments here, sometimes becomes combative. The filing party originally started an RFC, but the RFC was poorly focused, and was then withdrawn. The filing editor is advised to register an account (but they probably won't do that). Any editor who wants assistance in composing a neutrally worded RFC that asks one or more questions may file a new case request here, specifically stating that they want assistance in composing an RFC. Do not edit war. Do not argue over what national variety of English to use. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:31, 27 February 2021 (UTC) |

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved
Dispute overview Firstly, there appears to still be disagreement over balance/NPOV in the article, especially with regards to its links to autism and the autistic community. Secondly, there appears to be a moderate disagreement over where to actually locate the "Portrayal of Autism" section, as to if it should be before or after, or a subset of, the reception section. Thirdly, and partially related to the first point, Ssilvers in particular seems to strongly disagree on the inclusion of Jensen's petition. It may also be worth raising (to help get a more definitive answer and avoid the dispute becoming an issue again) that there was/is some disagreement over if spellings compliant with only US English, or spellings which comply with UK/CAN/AUS English, should be used. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? After the RfC and talk page discussions proved largely unfruitful, I am hoping perhaps a more formal moderated discussion may help to open up constructive communication, and confidently determine some consensus's as well as help avoid tensions escalating further. If no resolution is possible, or this request is unsuitable, advice from a moderator on which avenues for content disputes (and/or if deemed necessary, conduct disputes) would be useful as I am less experienced in navigating these.

The IP (188.220.86.46) who is shopping for yet another forum showed up a few months ago on the Music (2021 film) article and immediately began edit warring. As other editors resisted the IP editors' changes, they started an RfC and now are using this additional noticeboard forum to continue their disruptive campaign (mostly successful due to their persistence) to bloat the article with a series of huge quotefarms about how the film is offensive to autistic people. This is true, but it could be said in a sentence or two. Now they have added a poorly-referenced section on how the film supposedly uses blackface, which was suggested by some internet trolls.

Summary of dispute by Tailskin2021Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
The dispute largely relates to Peterpie123rww (talk) posted on the talk page that he, in his own words, "STRONGLY object[s] to the inclusion of the ridiculous blackface accusations, started by Twitter trolls and based on no grounds at all". IP address 188.220.86.46 and I pointed to several articles highlighting the controversy surrounding the scene in question. In it, Maddie Ziegler is accused of using "blackface" or "blackfishing" by several viewers on social media, to the point where articles were discussing it. Peter's objection to it is unfounded as the point of its relevance to the main article on the film not whether it was blackface or not, but rather it is about presenting the discourse and criticism of the scene. The criticism that is coming from audiences who have watched the film and took issue with it. Peter's own personal bias has also been pointed out, as his editing is often rather focused on Sia-related pages, so it would not be a far reach to say that he is somewhat of a fan. I am not saying that I, myself, am free from my personal bias. We all have them. But it is important that we do not let those biases spill over into the articles. He's made several claims that these accusations of blackface are not founded on legitimacy because its not covered as much, however, it should be noted that while its being covered significantly less in the media compared to other controversies surrounding the film, the discourse is only relatively recent.

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved
Dispute overview My comment in the Talk page for the "No Nazis" essay keeps getting removed on spurious grounds, when it is really being removed for disagreement. The first revert was done with the message "trolling", which does not assume good faith and is not what I was doing. The second revert was done under the banner of not "demeaning the authors", but I made no mention of them, only criticizing the content. It was further reverted under the "NOTFORUM" policy, but I was discussing the content of the article, on the Talk page, as intended. I eventually stopped trying to restore my comment (note: even though I technically violated the 3 revert rule, blocking me now after the fact would just be punishment -- which is against policy, as I have stopped). There are comments far worse than my blunt assessment of the article, directly attacking users in disparaging fashion, that were untouched and not commented on, but they agreed with the article as is. The most disconcerting thing is that at least two users involved are admins, and the last admin involved threatened to block (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:73.159.229.5&diff=1006866181&oldid=1006861889) me completely from the site: "You will need to find another website to complain about Wikipedia's procedures. I will block any IP that attempts to continue generic WP:NOTFORUM violations." All of this happened with the span of 3 hours, so it's clear the users/admins involved have a vested interest in the page, and are unlikely to be non-biased participants.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved
Dispute overview A dispute has emerged about the inclusion of the "contestant progress" table on this page. The argument from one side is that this constitutes FANCRUFT. The user arguing this side has gone on to attempt to remove the table from other Drag Race tables. I contend that actually, it's a relatively simple illustration of contestant progress that usefully distils how the contestants have done throughout the competition in a way that is of value to the page as a whole - saving a full scan of the page for information - and it is a feature of these pages for which a consensus has developed over a period of years. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:RuPaul%27s_Drag_Race_UK_(series_2)#FANCRUFT_tables How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Provide clarity on what constitutes Fancruft. I have a feeling that the editor is attempting to make life easier for themselves. These tables are sometimes subject to disagreements - so it would be good to get an outside opinion on the usefulness of these tables. Summary of dispute by RandomCanadianPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
In my opinion, some of the tables (in this and similar articles) are a) partially redundant with information covered in other tables b) full of trivial details which are not of interest to anybody but enthusiastic fans of the article subject, their WP:LOCALCONSENSUS about it notwithstanding and c) probably contain some amount of WP:OR (I could link to about half a dozen other policy pages, as I've done on the article talk page, but that's not the point - the most important one, if you ask, is my understanding of what Wikipedia is not, particularly WP:INDISCRIMINATE). Anyway, for the time being, I'm not sure this is the appropriate venue, as talk page discussion is still ongoing, there are other involved editors over there, and it's too early (less than 24 hours) to say it's stalled. If things don't progress there then an RfC would be the logical options since by that point it will mean this involves irreconcilable viewpoints on the application of policy.

Dispute overview Algeria's official name in Tamazight is missing from the article, and one of the editors, M.Bitton, is refusing to include the name under the pretext that the Algerian government has not decided which official writing system to use for Tamazight. Other contributors and I have suggested solutions like including all three writing systems or the most widely used one, the Latin writing system. All our attempts have not convinced the editor to approve the edits to include the Tamazight name. Tamazight, being one of Algeria's two official languages, must have its presence in the article, and including the official name in Tamazight is an absolute necessity. It is to be noted that the French, the Arabic, the Italian, the Spanish, the German, and many other versions of Wikipedia all include the name in Tamazight. It is only in the English version that including the Tamazight name has raised such a problem. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Other editors and I have tried to convince the editor M.Bitton to accept the Tamazight official name by suggesting some reasonable solutions (please see below), but the editor refused all of them.

Dispute overview I wrote this article about Dave Anthony. user Bonadea removed a lot of information that they deemed too detailed and I let it go. user 136.60.226.122 came in and repeatedly altered the section about plagiarism accusations. This user says they are a fan of Alan Bellows of Damn Interesting, who made the initial plagiarism accusation. In my opinion, this user is attempting to continue an outside dispute on a BLP which is against Wikipedia rules. I initially agreed to leave up a 3rd party analysis that 136.60.226.122 added, but upon further reading it seems clear that this is an inappropriate quote for several reasons. It is out of context, it is by a non-qualified individual with a financial stake in his opinion going a certain way. Because I changed my mind about the quote, 136.60.226.122 accused me of vandalism, lacking integrity, and being a paid editor. We did discuss this on the talk page but 136.60.226.122 has not responded since declaring, in part, "I don't think they can be reasoned with," in reference to me. I am not attempting to bury the plagiarism allegations, I simply don't believe they should be allowed more space than is warranted.

Done. Thanks.

If you still need mediation- please indicate so here, along with your agreement to make a good faith effort to compromise without personal attacks. Please also promise to WP:AGF even of editors who are fans of things you are not.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview There is disagreement about the inclusion of 3 items in the text, and the title of one section: 1: Should a section be entitled "Anti-Roma sentiment" or "Anti-Roma sentiment and controversy" 2: Should two paragraphs of text deleted from the beginning of this section be restored. User_talk:Boynamedsue#Text_deleted_from_Anti-Roma_sentiment_section 3: Should the comments of Attila Lakatos be included in the article. User_talk:Boynamedsue#Statements_of_Attila_Lakatos 4: Should the Anti-Roma comments of Zsolt Bayer be included in the text, and in what form. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Hopefully a moderated discussion will allow clearer discussion with regards to wikipedia's policies, possibly leading to a resolution. If no resolution is possible, advice from the moderator on correctly/neutrally seeking RfC or Third Opinion will be useful. Summary of dispute by KIENGIRPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
The summarization of the dispute of the nominator is not correct and consistent, as well the user cannot claim the discussion was not clear, it has been overly expalined with highlights, timestamps and diffs, the user have shown an extremely rarely experienced non-understading. There are three points of the discussion; (A) we include everything and restore the last stable version, before the user started arbitrarily remove content (then point 1. will be irrelevant) (B) the page remains as was before the user started to insert their edits on the concerned parts, as it has been told only those will have consensus if the necessary amedments and NPOV repairs came along with (status quo ante) (3) Besides this we started a consensus building of a third solution, in which concerning the issue 4 we would restore the section without any personal manifests (partially abandoning 3 connected to here along with others the user here did not mention), in case the user would agree the rephrasing and correction of some other additions which still suffered from inaccuracy and lack of NPOV (which has been a permanent problem of the user's additions), plus 1 (we agreed on everything, the user did not on the latter, and abandoned consensus building, that is quite odd, since any of the solutions proposed, overly 90% and 95% the user's desire would trial, given the extreme patience and generosity towards the user's direction). All three solutions are in line with the existing policies, even being a standard, of course I'd be open another consensus building - once the one has been done the user abandoned just before finishing - regarding the other section (please note the user erroneusly separated points 2/3/4, as the subject are two sections, in which the content are overlapping by these in some instances). The user never really understood the issue, and even left consensus building, however, appropriate understanding is a basic necessity.(KIENGIR (talk) 03:27, 7 February 2021 (UTC)) Romani people in Hungary discussionPlease keep discussion to a minimum before being opened by a volunteer.

Thirteenth Statement by Moderator (Hungarian Romani)It seems that I made a mistake, and that I made my updates in the wrong place. So now I will ask a few questions. For this statement only, I will allow the editors to comment on each other, to try to explain why they seem to be so far apart when they are proposing almost the same edits. Reply to me in the section for statements. Reply to each other in the section below it. Although you are allowed to comment on each other, you must be civil and must avoid personal attacks. User:KIENGIR – Why did you ask me to roll back the edits that I tried to make? What exactly do you want? User:Boynamedsue – Can you try to explain what you think the other editor wants? Both of you: Why can't agree on most of the article? I understand that there is a difference as to a subsection title, and to whether to include the mention of Lakatos. Why are the two of you arguing at such length about what seem to be such details? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC) Thirteenth Statement by KIENGIRAnswer to moderator:
Thirteenth Statements by BoynamedsueQuestion 1: As I understand it, KIENGIR feels that the absence of the comments of Lakatos renders the sections which we do agree on to be biased, and therefore he will not accept them being included in the article without the comments of Lakatos. For him the presence of Lakatos' statements neutralises the POV he perceives in the initial two paragraphs, and in the reactions to the statements of Zsolt Bayer. Question 2 The inclusion of Laktos is a very clear case of undue weight, and the title "and controversy" is not necessary as the examples are all anti-Roma sentiment per RS. See my arguments above regarding this (5th statement). The inclusion of both changes in the form wanted by KIENGIR legitimises hate speech. The undue weight placed on Lakatos and the suggestion that anti-Roma incidents are in fact merely "controversy" are hugely significant factors. Any quotation which attempts to justify racist discourse and hate speech must be treated extremely carefully, and the statements of Lakatos are not being treated carefully. I have offered a compromise which included the introduction a wider range of individual views on the question of Bayer (the problems with the source preclude the inclusion of the "gypsy crime" quote), alongside those of Lakatos, but no answer was given to this. As far as I can see, there is no way to include Lakatos and maintain WP:NPOV without a massive number of other personal opinions. It is for this reason I am being less flexible than would normally be the case. Boynamedsue (talk) 08:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC) Comments on Thirteenth Statements (Hungarian Romani)Moderator comment, while discussion is still open: Based on the explanation by Boynamedsue, the issues are the name of the subsection and whether to include the quote by Lakatos. I will be applying the updates on which there is agreement, and KIENGIR can then provide one proposed added paragraph that includes the quote by Lakatos, and either editor may propose other changes. I will be making those updates. Under the circumstances, it is my decision as moderator that the baseline version of the article will include the agreed additions and will not include Lakatos, and that the inclusion of Lakatos will be decided by the RFC. I am leaving the thirteenth section open for about 24 hours, and will then apply the updates, and we will move to constructing a new RFC. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:35, 1 March 2021 (UTC) Comment by Boynamedsue Thank you for that answer. Just to check, will the new baseline include this text as well. This was common between the two versions, but was followed by another quote by Lakatos in Kiengir's version: "In 2013, Fidesz, the largest party in the governing coalition refused to condemn the comments of their leading supporter Zsolt Bayer,[22][23] who wrote: [14] However, some members of the party openly criticised the statement's style and form or condemned it as not suitable. Deputy Prime Minister Tibor Navracsics criticised the statement. Later Bayer declared his words were taken out of context and misunderstood, as his goal was to stir up public opinion, but denied racial discrimination and reinforced he wish to segregate from the society only those Roma people who are "criminal" and "incapable and unfit for co-existence". The comments led to an advertising boycott of Bayer's Magyar Hírlap newspaper.[14][24]" Boynamedsue (talk) 16:52, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Fourteenth statement by moderator (Hungarian Romani)First, I instructed the editors not to edit the article. I did not say that I would not edit the article. The parties to the dispute have agreed to my mediation, and they do not have the authority to tell me whether I can or cannot edit the article. Second, I did not attempt to parse the multitude of versions offered by KIENGIR because it was obvious that other editors would not be able to parse the logic offered by KIENGIR, and I was not acting as an arbitrator, but would be submitting one or more questions to the community, and the community should be able to understand what they are voting on without a graduate-school education. If you don't like my moderation, you have the right to withdraw from the moderation. You can also ask me to ask for another moderator, but I don't think that I have one available. So either take my instructions, or don't take my instructions. Third, I am losing patience with long-winded answers to simple questions, which can be a stalling tactic. Do not waste my time with any more stalling tactics. Fourth, the RFC will include a question on a subsection on Anti-Roma Sentiment. There will be three choices: No subsection; User:Boynamedsue subsection; or a subsection offered by User:KIENGIR. Please let me know whether there is anything else to put in an RFC. Fifth, I will NOT ask permission from KIENGIR or Boynamedsue as to when to publish the RFC. I can and will publish an RFC when I want to do so. Okay. Provide your input(s) to the RFC. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC) Update -
This approach, with A for the Boynamedsue version, B for the KIENGIR version, and C for none, should satisfy both of you. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:37, 2 March 2021 (UTC) Update -
Robert McClenon (talk) 19:37, 2 March 2021 (UTC) Fourteenth statements by editors (Hungarian Romani)Hi, sorry, just checking again how the paragraphs regarding Zsolt Bayer will be included in the RFC? There is a version with Lakatos, provided by Kiengir here and a version without Lakatos provided by me in my response to your comment on the 13th section. My view is that it can be included wholesale as part of my version, Kiengir can add the version he wants to his text, and the two versions can be voted on in the same vote as the anti-Roma sentiment section. The differences are still Lakatos and the title, so it would seem that it is unnecessary to add another question. Boynamedsue (talk) 07:32, 2 March 2021 (UTC) I've tidied up my text a bit, but not made any substantive changes. I'd say I'm ready for the text to go forward. Boynamedsue (talk) 02:10, 3 March 2021 (UTC) Fourteenth statement by KIENGIRAnswer to moderator:
Fifteenth statement by moderator (Hungarian Romani)I have made a few boilerplate changes to the draft RFC. If there are any other questions that you want put to the community in the RFC, please reply below quickly, because I will move the RFC to the article talk page in less than 24 hours and insert the bot tag and my signature. Once I move the RFC to the article talk page with the bot tag, it becomes a live RFC and runs for 30 days. The article will not be changed. Changes to the article will be made based on the consensus obtained by closure of the RFC. I will then leave this moderated discussion open for a few days to see if there are any other issues, or if any more RFCs need to be started. (Yes, there can be multiple RFCs on one talk page with different start and end dates.) This is your last chance to influence the content of the RFC before it goes live. After then, you will be able to influence the result of the RFC by persuasion. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:40, 3 March 2021 (UTC) Fifteenth statement by KIENGIR@Robert McClenon:, this format of the RFC is fine with me, is the "explanation by proponent" section really necessary? At least, please when you launch the RFC only provide those sections if both of them are provided in the draft, otherwise it would be one-sided in case just one user would fill it (if both we ignore, of course the same as well, I don't see a reason why to repeat arguments which may be read extensively not just in this DRN, but the article's talk).(KIENGIR (talk) 17:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)) Fifteenth statements by Boynamedsue1) Is the question of the title maybe better dealt with as a separate question? I don't know how this would work, but I'm happy to accept your opinion on whether it is desirable and the form it would take. 2)Will you summarise the differences between our versions as a first post when the RfC goes live, or will that be up to us? Boynamedsue (talk) 07:02, 3 March 2021 (UTC) Sixteenth Statement by Moderator (Hungarian Romani)I have included a subsection called Statement by Proponent under A and under B. Fill that in with your explanation of the reasoning for the language, with your signature at the bottom. This will then be in the RFC on the article talk page. You will also be able to explain further in the Threaded Discussion. Please provide the statements within the next 36 hours. I will then copy the draft RFC to the article talk page, and it will go into live discussion. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2021 (UTC) @KIENGIR and Boynamedsue: The statements by proponents should go into Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/RFC on Hungarian Romani. If the statements are not included in a timely manner, I will copy the draft RFC into the talk page without the proponent statements, but they can then be added by the proponents during the live discussion. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC) Sixteenth Statements by Editors (Hungarian Romani)Just a quick response to @KIENGIR:'s point. I find it very surprising that he considers the arguments of both users to be displayed clearly on the talkpage. He was actually contacted by an uninvolved user on his own talk section who advised him in no uncertain terms that they considered the talkpage discussion to be incomprehensible. I tend to agree, even though half the posts are written by me, I still find the talkpage largely incomprehensible. I would suggest that some exposition of each user's views is absolutely necessary for any kind of reasonably informed RfC. Boynamedsue (talk) 18:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC) I would also add that the moderator has explicitly told us that we were unclear and imprecise in our communication here. Boynamedsue (talk) 18:40, 4 March 2021 (UTC) Seventeenth statement by moderator (Hungarian Romani)User:KIENGIR - The explanatory statement is necessary if you want to provide an explanation. User:Boynamedsue has provided an explanation. If you choose not to provide an explanation, I have no intention of omitting his statement. If you want the community to understand your proposal, you should explain your proposal concisely. I have been asking for explanations because I did not understand what you, User:KIENGIR, were saying, and I did not expect that the community would understand. I have been asking you to explain clearly what you are asking for nearly a month because I had difficulty in understanding and was asking you to explain. I am providing both editors with an opportunity to provide concise explanations, since the explanations on the article talk page are neither concise nor comprehensible. When I said that I did not parse versions A, B, and C, that was because I did try to parse them, and was unable to do so (and I am a computer scientist and I can understand mathematical logic). If you choose not to provide an explanation when I ask you to explain to the community, you are correct that the community's understanding will be one-sided, but that will be your choice. Either provide a concise explanation, or don't provide a concise explanation, in which case the community will not understand your version. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:03, 4 March 2021 (UTC) Seventeenth statement by KIENGIR@Robert McClenon:,
I will provide then that section that too (indeed, I know your skills and I have serious doubts you would not be able to parse it, it is just dependent on time and devotion, I share in an advanced level these areas as well, and the level expressed is not even a difficult one).
Eighteenth statement by moderator (Hungarian Romani)The RFC has been posted, and will run for 30 days. If there are any other issues, please state them below. Otherwise this dispute will be closed as being resolved by the RFC.

Closed. There are at least three and maybe four problems. First, there has been only brief discussion at the article talk page, mostly one statement by each editor. Sometimes more discussion will result in agreement or compromise, or at least give a moderator a better idea of where to start. Second, the other editors have not been notified of this filing. That problem can be addressed, but there has still been little discussion. Third, three of the editors are new to Wikipedia. While new editors are welcome and encouraged to join in discussion of content issues, with this many new editors, it might be better to try to discuss on a talk page and become a little more familiar with Wikipedia before engaging in dispute resolution. Fourth, is there being a discussion on Reddit, and have Reddit editors been asked to come to Wikipedia? If so, you are welcome to edit Wikipedia, but if there is a dispute on Reddit, perhaps it can be resolved on Reddit. Resume discussion on the article talk page.

Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran
Closed, as pending in another dispute resolution form. There is a Request for Comments concerning the tag on the article. A Request for Comments takes precedence over other methods of dispute resolution, including discussion here. Participate civilly in the RFC and let it run for 30 days. There has already been a deletion discussion, which decided that the article should not be deleted (and that no good reason for deletion had been presented). Report disruptive editing at Arbitration Enforcement, but do not edit disruptively. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC) |

Dispute overview User:Selfstudier continues to allege that this article lacks verifiable sources and has requested the article be deleted, merged, or moved. All three discussions resulted in not to. He has since added the verifiability tag and if any user removes it, Selfstudier will claim it is disruptive editing and claim edit warring. Selfstudier is the only one making such claims against the article. Steamboat and I have tried to explain in lengthy discussions to Selfstudier going against his claims about the lack of verifiability, however, he continues to dig in his heels. We believe that he does have a bias against the article's subject matter. I've asked him many times to provide sources going against the article claim that such an Arab-Israeil alliance doesn't exist, instead, he demands the onus is on us to prove it even though sources are provided throughout the article. He has made virtually no contributions to the article. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk:Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran#Possible_alliance Talk:Arab states–Israeli alliance against Iran#"RfC_on_verifiability_of_this_article" How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? You can resolve the dispute hopefully by going things over one last time to Selfstudier about why the article meets notability, factually, and verifiability standards on Wikipedia.

Closed, either as wrong forum, as premature for this forum, or as third opinion rendered. There has been no discussion at the article talk page. Discussion at the article talk page is required before filing a case request here, and is not a nice-to-have but a requirement that cannot be waived. However, the BLP noticeboard might be a better forum if a noticeboard is required, and its prior requirements are less stringent. However, although this is not a Third Opinion forum, I am willing to provide a third opinion. The personal information is verified by reliable sources, but there is a request from a conservator to omit the personal information. When the subject is represented by a conservator, this guideline applies, and the request should be honored. The date is in the public record, but there is no need for Wikipedia to publish it under the circumstances. Any further discussion can be at the biographies of living persons noticeboard.

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview Another user added month and day to the date of birth of a living subject and I reverted, giving reasons having to do with identity theft and fraud, preferring to give only the year of the subject's birth. He reverted, noting he had provided sources for the month and day. I sent an e-mail to the subject, asking his preference, and received a reply from his son saying his father was no longer reading his email. Subsequently I received a reply from the subject's daughter who has power of attorney, who objected to listing the month and day of her father's birth for reasons of privacy. I removed the month and day, only to have the other editor revert again because he had provided two references. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jkaharper#DOB_and_ID_theft_concerns How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Please provide a third opinion on whether under the WP:DOB policy statement,"If a subject complains about our inclusion of their date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year, provided that there is a reliable source for it" applies when the objection is made by the subject's conservator with power of attorney, or whether "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources" applies.
