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): [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12v33tbFwNHTpi84wDwzTSbUhYk-00Jeo4TbqbCz3XFQ/edit?usp=sharing '''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.
