Title:

Turning points in Wikipedia disputes: Research and discussion of resolution efforts

Type of session:

Lecture (15-30 min)

Session theme(s):

Community Health, Research

Abstract:

What have scholars learned about editing disputes on Wikipedia and how do they understand these disputes? What kinds of dispute resolution efforts are effective?

Updated slides (Oct.7th): Link to Google Slides for @ProfGray's talk on Wikipedia disputes and dispute resolution

The presentation will:

  • briefly review WP dispute resolution efforts;
  • summarize recent academic research on WP disputes;
  • mention cases from academic studies and from the presenter’s take on edit disputes over Israel-Palestine topics.
  • reflect on next steps for WP resolution efforts, both for individual editors and organized groups.

The talk will include a quick tour of tidbits from research about "crossroads" or turning points within WP dispute resolution efforts, along with research on edit warring and contentious topics.

Note: Most of the covered research will center on English Wikipedia, with some non-English cases. The lessons may apply broadly to other Wikimedia projects.

To view and improve the list of academic studies to be summarized, see: New article in en-Wikipedia: Disputes on Wikipedia

Due to Jewish holy days, I would need to present on Sunday after 10am. I would use slides and may need technical guidance if there are requirements for the livestream. Also, I have considerable earlier experience through an alternative account.
