The presentation will offer a brief history of WP dispute resolution and summarize recent academic research on WP disputes. Cases will be drawn from academic studies and from the presenter’s take on edit disputes over Israel-Palestine topics. (The plan is to invite a few scholars and veteran editors to elaborate on cases.) We will then discuss the effectiveness of resolution strategies, available to both individual editors and organized groups, and avenues for future research.
