Wikipedia Dispute Resolution
- Use your groups from Thursday's Class (feel free to give yourselves a new name).
- As a group, find a wikipedia entry that is currently involved in a dispute over its editing and/or content.
- Some places to look to find current controversies are:
- pages protected because of edit wars
- protected pages
- the protection logs
- the incidents board
- the three reversions board
- Any "What links here" and "Related changes" from a contentious topic, such as "terrorism".
- Once your group has picked an on-going controversy, each member of the group should intervene and try to help resolve the dispute via the talk pages connected to the article.
- Your group is free to coordinate your comments as little or as much as you want, but the comments should come from individual group members and not the group as a whole.
- This is an on-going assignment so you should monitor and respond to the pages at least a few times.
By midnight on the evening of Tuesday January 8th, post the results of your group intervention in the pages linked below.
