3910:. I think we also need to establish better practises for teh definition of "no consensus" and what it means. I'd certainly like to see some sort of return to "open polls" on issues. This was a system where we used to leave polls open for a long time, and I think we could return to that with some sort of arb-com input. Take date-autoformatting. Even though the poll is closed, there is nothing to be lost from leaving the poll open, and reviewing it periodically to see if consensus has changed. This also would allow a funnel for frustration. If we had a list of such open polls at the bottom of cent and other areas, this would allow community memebers to have their voice heard and in a sense act as a "petition". Take for example WP:N, which is typically a cause of issue. If we had a page where people could sign their support or opposition to the very principle notability enshrines, we could quite quickly defuse a vast number of debates. We could simply point people to the appropriate section of the open poll or petition. Obviously we fall into accusations of "not a democracy", but the obvious retort is "not a battleground". This system has been used on Knowledge (XXG) before so it isn't outlandish, it formed the basis for a number of naming conventions. All we'd be doing is marrying it up to actual arbitration. Food for thought. I certainly think this is an area arb-com/mediators could become more useful, in a role akin to election observers or peacemakers. 1887:
skills at Knowledge (XXG), and relative emotional stability under pressure. To the extent that our decisions are to be based on the attempt to find a correctly neutral position, not internal and external politics, those factors are not relevant. What they favor is the established editors, who have throughly learned the rules and have to some extent been selected by time for self-restraint, and whatever may be the positions they happen to hold. fortunately, their positions are not uniform, but it's a haphazard way of doing things. We do have biases. I share some of them. NPOV is a wonderful principle, but almost nobody can actually apply it to anything they really care about, and experience shows that anyone who edits where they do not actually care will inevitably come to favor one or another position. This creates certain difficulties in how to do things better, so I am not immediately proposing a solution. One that I am quite sure will not work is letting arb com handle it; they have difficulty enough with their current role. Maybe there is not one, but that doesn't mean we should pretend there is no problem.

to talk to regarding setting up a process through which to manage such polls and rfc's. I think he'd agree he learnt a lot regarding having an agreed end-game before launching, and also tight rules on canvassing and opening and closing. Many of these tasks can be automated, certainly the opening and closing and the canvassing. The end-game needs to be looked at more closely, but I think it is not beyond the means of arb-com to simply state that in certain binary issues a consensus can be determined by a certain %, the % variable depending on the issue, and also having a requirement for a quorom; I'd say the date delinking and the current poll at plot show that you're likely to get between 150 and 500 respondents depending upon where the issue is advertised. I think there is a viable process here which would help ease tensions: the input of arbitrators/mediators in settling what the issue is and composing a question or questions for the community, and providing solutions in the format of if

would be that a formal and explicit mechanism be crafted for the MedCom to draw on the active Wikiprojects themselves. IMO, the projects are usually the best places to resolve reliable source issues on their topic area – and once consensus is achieved to maintain it. They are likewise usually a good source for neutral, uninvolved subject-matter experts (SMEs) – and in my experience content disputes most often arise among somewhat knowledgeable but non-expert editors (and often in places where these SMEs aren’t watching); theirs would be a sort of “friend of the court” role – not as advocates or decisionmakers, but to develop a professionally informed advisory recommendation to the MedCom. However, where the content dispute is tied to an honest disagreement on interpretation of policies, guidelines and such – which are rarely completely clear as they are usually in a state of flux – then the community active on those pages need to be requested to develop a clarification.

stick. So the key point in any dispute, be it a content dispute or a behaviour dispute, is the attitude of those involved. ArbCom's role is to look at the behaviour of users to see if they are unreasonable and unwilling to negotiate - and to put remedies in place to prevent unreasonable and unwilling users from disrupting the project. There is no need for ArbCom to look into content issues - that is a different process. Mediation is not about issuing sanctions or making rulings, it's about helping people in dispute to reach a solution that all parties agree to. A committee is not needed for that - mediation is best done by a calm, patient and detached individual that the people involved can trust.
2480:
corrective behavioral solutions in order to allow the disrupted dispute resolution process to resume in a proper manner. Ergo, in practice a decision is rendered, and usually it does help, more or less - but in theory there should ensue a process of fruitful content dispute resolution that is made possible because of the corrective arbcom decision. But in practice this rarely happens for various reasons, (one of them because that the parties still lack basic practical education with Knowledge (XXG) policies and mediation skills, another is because there is simply a lack of participation on the article).
2273:
compromise, could just lead to the problem continuing, without a result that solves the issues. Basically, with user conduct issues, binding resolution can be made, solving the problem, however with content issues, if a party is not satisfied with the outcome, regardless of consensus, they can continue stonewalling/edit warring/hampering consensus, etc. This is why I feel, an additional component, binding mediation, used in rare cases, where all other methods of resolving a content dispute, have failed, yet there still are inadequate user conduct issues for the case to proceed to ArbCom.

filter out to the wider internet community en mass but can flame up quickly and escalate very fast. Content disputes conversely are likely to filter out to the wider internet community and thus Knowledge (XXG) needs strong support and by in on content from the community as a whole. In other words efficiency with respect to personality disputes and correctness with respect to content is probably the best overall theme. Further, If arbcom had positions on content it would be more difficult for those to evolve with time. So I definitely do not believe arbcom should rule on content.
3583:(4) Community involvement through RfC or similar procedures to determine which of the various proposals if any, or perhaps some combination of proposals, receive sufficient support to become enacted as policy, guideline, or essay, and, also, how to specifically address the issue which prompted the creation of this specific ad hoc group. It might even be possible to make very specific rules for such discussions, similar to those of XfDs, alloting only a limited amount of time for discussion before a solution of some sort is arrived at. 1682:
thus as a dispute that has to be taken seriously among the community. As we all know, editors are prone to warring and hardening into opposing groups. On occasion (maybe even more-often-that-not), so-called "content" disputes before the arbitration committee are more a case of these kinds of "hardened" disputes between editors, rather than genuinely about content. Prudence should be exercised by the committee so as to not legitimise superficial "content" disputes but to resolve the underlying warring and tribalism.
3600:) 14:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC) One advantage to having such a system would be that it would allow ArbCom cases which do involve intractible policy disagreements to be addressed by an ad hoc committee created to deal with the matter, possibly simultaneously with the starting of the ArbCom, to allow the arbitrators to deal only with the specific conduct issues they face, while allowing the other matters of policy and such to be brought before the ad hoc committee created to deal with it. 1186:: we look at all the same policies, and in good faith read them in different ways. A case for mediation resulted in a user with about 1/10th our combined edits trying to adjudicate--he was, through no fault of his own, out of his depth. We could really use a "court" of people who're familiar enough with nuances of policy to make such calls--or propose a novel and previously unconsidered compromise--when good faith efforts between earnest and civil yet disagreeing editors fail. 530:
couldn't be solved with our current mechanisms when there were no underlying conduct problems. I think the Arbitration Committee would be best served looking at earlier methods of conduct dispute resolution - streamlining the conduct RfC process and perhaps developing a few others would really help solve many content disputes. What we don't need at this time is a new committee dictating content - that goes against many of our key editing philosophies.
2586:
To take the position that all disputes should be resolvable in a final sense is to imply that there must be a side that is more correct than the other, or to say that we are in fact more interested in ending the dispute than in treating all viewpoints evenly. This contradicts behavior in academic circles, where experts may respect each other in a field and yet disagree vehemently. It would be unwise to force agreement or outcome in such cases.
176:
toward the "nuclear option", sanctioning more aggressively--and perhaps indiscriminately. Neither is a workable alternative to sanctioning primary aggressors; the more recent trend runs the risk of validating and rewarding mudslinging campaigns. This risks a chilling effect in which productive editors fear to contribute to controversial topics in any way at all, lest their wiki-reputations be ruined despite their best efforts to be helpful.
2255: 2579:-a distinct "them" which is easy to attack both on and off-wiki. I believe that the existance of such a body, capable of making authoritative and lasting content decisions would disrupt Knowledge (XXG)'s guiding principle of consensus. Knowledge (XXG) itself would be described to have a POV on certain topics, and I believe this would weaken and discredit the project. 1573:
editors and also the other processes of DR (including ArbCom, MedCab, Projects, etc). Such a group can then present their independent findings to the various DR bodies who can then incorporate them in their processes. In a case where there is no issue of conduct problems, such a body could be the final venue of purely content dispute resolution.
2666:
for the opposite reason. Hardly anyone is interested, so a consensus cannot be established. RfCs tend to produce little response in many cases. Note that what a number of people say above about dealing with behaviour doesn't seem to apply in this sort of case. Both ArbCom & RFC/U, as far as I understand the rules, require
2117:
Unfortunately this is always going to be the case as long as the majority of the admin corps has no intellectual heft. It is easier to recognize incivility than to recognize someone making uninformed edits. Easier to evaluate a dispute based off whether or not someone is part of the Wiki-mainstream
1782:
Many conduct disputes are the result of prolonged content disputes, in which the existing dispute resolution has failed. The current arbcom can not resolve those issues, as they are limited to conduct issues. To adequately deal with content issues, a separate ArbCom needs to be created, with specific

When I have mediated disputes and those involved were reasonable and willing to negotiate, the dispute would be resolved quickly and, so far as I am aware, permanently; when one or more of those involved were unreasonable and unwilling to negotiate, the dispute would linger and any solution would not
960:
Yes, in process. However, DR is currently understaffed; there are many disputes but not many mediators. To compound the problem, a huge amount of content disputes end up at AN/I and other sinkholes where it's difficult (if not impossible) to control the structure of the discussion. There are not many
179:
If "content dispute resolution" is to become a new attempt to circumvent the Committee's central function of identifying and remedying primary aggressors, then I strongly discourage the experiment. Fundamentally disruptive individuals are talented at subverting processes; this is why they wind up at

For about the last year and a half the Committee has strayed away from its former practice of identifying and remedying primary aggressors. Last year it substituted discretionary sanctions, which were often ineffective and sometimes created new problems of their own. More recently ArbCom has tended

I am in concurrence with the majority of commentators here and for most of the reasons they give for ArbCom not taking up responsibility for content disputes. It’s really much wiser to keep the venues for addressing editor behavior and content disputes separate and distinct in their purposes. I do
3885:
We just had one in the date delinking case, which, although it had issues with management, proved useful. Content issues are the communities to solve not arb-coms, but that doesn't mean arb-com can't guide and manage a path for teh community to find consensus. I think Ryan would be a useful person
3813:
The Knowledge (XXG) community may wish to explore options for presenting that outcome in the article. This would be a break from the style of traditional encyclopedias, but could reflect one of the strengths of wikipedia - community produced content. I believe it would be desireable for such cases
3580:(3) Details of the duties of the ad hoc group. These would likely be limited to noting the specific questions needing to be addressed and proposing a number of alternative solutions to the problem, with the intention of arriving at the "draft proposal" stage relatively quickly, perhaps a month or so. 2596:
Continuing to devote large amounts of energy to such disputes is a waste of our most precious resource - the time of good editors. Ideally "disagreement" could be a stable state that did not require great effort to maintain. It is undesirable to have situations where the editor who gets frustrated

Official, binding content decisions from a small body of decision makers is deeply problematic. The existence of such an authority would shift responsibility for the most highly disputed content from the community as a whole - a nebulous "us" which is difficult to attack - to the authoritative body

How should the Committee approach allegations of improper use of sources? Should the Committee rule on the reliability of particular sources, or place additional restrictions on the sources which may be used to resolve a dispute? Would the creation of a body dedicated to ruling on source reliability
3537:
That's why I said "relatively". The point is that it cannot be settled by the same people who were arguing about the matter of substance - that just leads to an endless spiral. Of course the call might be difficult, and might require discussion among admins, and between admins and participants, but
2585:
While it is true that there are disputes in which well-informed, well-behaved good faith editors are unable to disagree, this is not necessarily unacceptable. When the dispute is so difficult that no compromise can be agreed upon between good editors, how can we presume to choose a single answer?
2542:
I think one of the biggest hurdles in the debate is the widespread misconception that consensus should be the ultimate reference for proper content. Policy should be the ultimate reference for proper content. Policy should supercede consensus. Hence the need to have a responsible group that rules
1216:
This is the heart of the limitation of the current ArbCom system; two opposing views expressed civilly and with good faith and supporting references will keep an article in a constant state of flux, with no stable/definitive (yeah, I know it is a Wiki) version and no means in which to resolve it. A

In the first case: Getting people to understand the legitimate use of sources works on a case-by-case basis; often, mentorship will help, but I plead to the committee not to dictate the terms between the mentor and the mentoree. Mentorship is rare enough, and imposing anything adds pressure counter
975:
Content disputes should be kicked down to MedCom. However, ArbCom needs to bear in mind that the primary reason for RFAR is user conduct that has exhausted attempts at resolution through consensus. Disputes that haven't been through DR should go through DR first. When that fails as a result of user

I'm not sure our current system works for content dispute works well enough. But I think having arbcom maintain its no content review policy is excellent for separation of powers reasons. Further the goals of the two types of dispute resolution are different. Personality disputes are unlikely to

I want to expand on something mentioned by Jclemens above. A lot of the discussion here seems to be thinking in terms of cases like the Israel/Palestine dispute, where you have endless armies going at it indefinitely. What Jclemens mentioned above is the sort of case where a dispute is intractable

Because Arbitration openly professes to focus on behavior over content issues, it is therefore in practice not the final step in the dispute resolution process -the content problem usually remains essentially unchanged after an arbitration decision. Therefore in theory it serves primarily to apply

I completely agree on how editors can game the system - essentially stonewalling and not compromising. If we accept that *not* compromising is a right - that some disputes *are* split along white and black lines, then this project currently has no process or policy or enforcement procedure.... I

I think it is not correct that the present situation works well. The total situation works by the two sides trying to maneuver (or bully) until the key representative of one position commits an unforgivable conduct error, at which point that person can be removed. What is selected for is relative

As structured, MedCom is a small organization of members who are good at mediating; they are, however, too few to be even semi-expert in all areas of knowledge. (The same can also likely be said of those editors who actively watch and participate in any neutral capacity.) What I would recommend

More effort needs to be put into establishing the genuine nature of disputes among the relevant community of editors, rather that taking statements of involved editors at face value. Once the Arbitration committee gets involved in a "content" dispute, they legitimise it as a "genuine dispute" and

I'd like to see it sooner, too. We have to evolve a little beyond the extreme ends of the spectrum that we currently have. On one end, we have ArbCom, which involves itself in conduct issues (pov, conduct and socking) and is in effect the nuclear option. It also moves about as fast as molasses in

I personally believe having a dedicated body to work on content- and sourcing-related questions would be very beneficial. There may be some difficulty in selecting people for such a body, but I think those difficulties may well likely be less problematic than the problems that are faced and often

I think that it not correct that debates about whether we have in fact reached consensus on resolution of a dispute are something that "can be settled relatively quickly by admins" -- rather, it's the hardest sticking point of all--especially when we have no real rules for how much consensus is

I'm truly of the impression that if you sort the conduct issues, you solve the content dispute. If there's no conduct issues, then content RfC's, third opinions and mediation almost always solve the issues at hand. I'm finding it hard to think of any content dispute that was so egregious that it

The committee shouldn't have any role in solving content disputes, I feel the Committee is struggling enough already handling the current open RFARs, and has enough of a load already. I also think there should be a separation of power, and I'm uncomfortable with delegaing even more power to the

That said, for articles under an active Project, that project turns into the de facto "dedicated body for ruling on content disputes/source reliability". It's how something like the mass-merging of Pokemon articles can actually happen without editors kicking and screaming the whole way through.

There's been a suggestion on this page somewhere of a special role for projects. Here I can be a bit more specific without naming names. Most of my WP work has been in the field of Buddhism. Most of the WP editors in the field are, unsurprisingly, Buddhists. More to the point, though, they are

Keep the content side of dispute resolution as is. Focus more time and effort on streamlining and promoting the current conduct dispute resolution methods and find ways of developing more. Hopefully this will allow the content to fall into place with fewer conduct issues disrupting processes.

I've seen too many instances of the polite POV pushers who goad the editor trying to present neutral, policy-compliant article edits into bad contact; the neutral editor gets sanctioned and effectively removed from the debate, and the POV pushers get the article to look the way then want it.

Although most Wikipedians are reasonable and collaborative, few ones who aren't tend to come to the attention of site administration and eventually--in some instances--to arbitration. In nearly all occasions where the Committee becomes involved, unreasonable individuals also violate conduct

This is an accurate summary of the current situation. We have no final authority on content disputes, so we put the parties through a test of bureaucracy and patience until one of them breaks and behaves badly. I'm not sure what the solution is, but the current system is not adequate.

is an interesting comment by a longstanding editor (now retired). Although similar things happen in real life, it might be considered that a system that results in people considering it advances their cause to misbehave & be punished must have something wrong with it.
1455:
The question of sourcing and POV issues is the same. ArbCom should only get involved to deal with individuals who are unreasonable and unwilling to negotiate. Take away the unreasonable and unwilling individuals and the community can generally work toward solutions.
2181:
I agree that the current system is broken - the idea that you can solve issues of Truth merely by finding out which side is being impolite is Wrong, even if it often works on practice. Also, Arbcomm should remember that it isn't a court and wiki isn't a bureaucracy
191:. At present ArbCom is having difficulty addressing its core mission, which renders this an inopportune moment for an RfC that presumptively expands ArbCom's scope and function radically. The community need not seek ArbCom's stamp of approval to manage content. 1523:
broadly agree with this. There are situations where ArbCom could be involved in content decisions to the extent of suggesting formal mediation, a content RfC, or a poll for a naming dispute, however in general, ArbCom should avoid ruling on content or sources.

As much fun as it would be to get certain longstanding content disputes finally resolved from "on high" (thinking specifically of Episodes and Characters here) I fear it would politicize the process and turn policy into a kind of majority-rules by proxy vote.

The the committee should retain their current boundary of not adjudicating content disputes - but also need to be careful not to implicitly legitimise such "content" disputes. In sum, the committee should stay away from content altogether.

I would add that, in addition to people finding it difficult to be neutral, there really are cases of irreconciliable, equally valid, good-faith readings of policy. We do ourselves no favors by pretending the problem doesn't exist.
