This is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.
If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.
What this noticeboard is:
It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.
What this noticeboard is not:
It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.
Things to remember:
Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.
Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBotoperator / talk 13:20, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Possible compromise resolution
The Dispute Resolution Noticboard volunteer, Noleander has offered a compromise solution here. Please take a minute to add your response as to whether you agree or disagree with this solution. There are no "ground rule" limitations but please consider using brevity if commenting . Amadscientist (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Nicolás Maduro
TFD, would you mind taking a look at the Nicolás Maduro article. An IP there has gone against myself and another user by re-instating a picture of the president with his mouth open, which I find to be inappropriate. A better picture is available which is currently in the article. Thanks. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 11:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
RFC at Talk:Fascism
I get the sense that you don't consider process as important as I do. If the process is flawed I see no benefit in participation until the problems are addressed. I would be surprised if you found anyone to support your claim that the words you removed ("before editorializing added") could be considered a personal attack of such a severity that it required your intervention, especially given all the other antics going on there that you are not removing. It appears to me that your participation is generally constructive, so I hope you will take my advice and forswear editing anyone's talk page edits unless and until you become an administrator. Reverting any such edits should improve the outcome for you in any subsequent administrative procedures.Jojalozzo 22:17, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I am not having a general discussion about the topic but about (a) presenting a 5-4 decision as definitive violates neutrality, whether sourcing the text to a primary document or no source violates reliable sources and whether claiming that the right derives from natural law when the source does not make that claim is original research. I suggest we use a reliable secondary source, which would avoid the necessity of pointing out all the errors in your proposed addition. TFD (talk) 23:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
