Wikipedia Dispute Resolution

  • Find your fellow group members using the following random group list.
  • 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 Tues January 8th, post the results of your group intervention in the pages linked below. Group 1 Dispute Results Group 2 Dispute Results Group 3 Dispute Results Group 4 Dispute Results Group 5 Dispute Results Group 6 Dispute Results
