Dispute resolution log (3O) edit
| Date | Disputed article | My assessment | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 03 Oct 2007 | Dave Hull | Unverified opinion; suggested usual WP:V/BLP approach; party who wishes to keep it must provide sources and rewrite it accordingly; otherwise, it should be removed | |
| 10 Sep 2007 | Justin King | Recommended that WP:V's procedure for settling disputes about unreferenced material should be followed | Other party came up with the requested verification; agreement was (largely) reached |
| 26 Aug 2007 | Docklands Light Railway | Assertions, credential-based claims and OR are trumped by reliable independent sources. Recommended compromise only if a counter-source is provided. | Editor reverted against consensus at least 15 times; numerous editors intervened; I posted at AN3; he got blocked. |
| 18 Aug 2007 | Field Commander | Recommended usual procedure for WP:V/WP:RS disputes; edit or remove contested material if no suitable source is forthcoming | Editor continually reverted the removal of the contested content and was threatened with a block for 3RR. Article is now stable. |
| 04 Aug 2007 | User talk:Poggibonsi | Dealt with belated complaint about a revert made five months ago; supported the revert and explained why it was correct. | As expected; no response. |
| 01 Aug 2007 | Sole (foot) | Agreed that only one image is worthwhile at this time; potential for other more specific images with expansion of the article. | Received thanks from requesting editor; other party objected, but a fourth party supported my opinion. |
| 30 Jul 2007 | Jenin, Jenin | Suggested that the quote be kept but given less visual weight by incorporating it fully into body text. | No feedback forthcoming. |
| 28 Jul 2007 | Walid Eido | Blogs are not normally reliable sources; reliable sources are needed for contended material. | No feedback forthcoming. |
| 19 Jul 2007 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows | Cited discussion at WT:V and agreed with its consensus; suggested informal mediation if necessary, but probably won't be needed. | Editors found agreement; decided to add only material that met WP:V via reliable sources. |
| 18 Jul 2007 | Alcoholics Anonymous User talk:Craigtalbert |
Provided advice at user's talk page to guide his efforts to uphold talk page guidelines. | Editor has added new headers and left a request to all concerned to keep on topic. |
| 09 Jul 2007 | Kentucky Fried Chicken | Agreed that one of the "See Also" links was not suitable; suggested a compromise by keeping the other link, with rationale for doing so. | Editor who requested 3O could not accept compromise and sulked off. |
| 07 Jul 2007 | List of Romanian actors | Suggested solution to deal with unverified content; concurred with editor who is applying WP:V. | Editor worked hard to fulfill his own request by cleaning up the article and finding sources. |
| 29 Jun 2007 | Wisconsin Badgers | Reverted edit is noteworthy, relevant and well sourced; suggested that it should be included. | Both editors happy with outcome. |
| 10 Jun 2007 | Podilsko-Voskresenska Line | Provisionally supported keeping the disputed content in light of background info; other editors provided further evidence for and against; difficult to call. | Two parties could not agree; went to mediation. |
| 09 Jun 2007 | Loyola Law School | Backed up 3O from first respondent; third and fourth respondents concurred. | Repeated failure by other party to respect policy and consensus until fourth respondent arrived. |
| 08 Jun 2007 | Mega Man ZX characters | Avoid speculation and handle with care. | No feedback but no further dispute. |
| 08 Jun 2007 | Asian Americans | Recommended RFC | N/A |
| 06 Jun 2007 | William Remington | Leave out or modify the statement. | Editor who made 3O request proved problematic. |
| 27 May 2007 | Keyboard concerto | Expand extensively before de-merging. | Other 3O providers largely concurred. |
| 26 May 2007 | Westerley Cycling Club | Cannot be speedied. | SD nomination removed by a third party. |
| 17 May 2007 | Snowshoe | Reduced disputed gallery to the best two images. | Editors agreed and edit war ceased. |
| 03 May 2007 | Turbocharger | Material must be verified by reliable sources. | Third party appeared, in support of the poorly sourced material. |
| 28 Apr 2007 | Justin Guarini | Template should be used for consistency; no reason not to do so. | Editor remained civil and eventually accepted consensus. |
| 05 Apr 2007 | The Profit | Link to Banned films as long as the nature of the injunction is clear. | Editors agreed. |
