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

Brief history of WP dispute resolution

• Scale and types of dispute
• Policies
• Structures
• Initiatives

Disputes on Wikipedia arise from disagreements over article content, which can be discussed on Talk pages, as well as from user misconduct. Disputes may result in repeated competing changes to an article, known as "edit warring" and may escalate into dispute resolution efforts and enforcement. Wikipedia editors may dispute numerous articles within a contentious topic that reflect debates and conflicts in society, such as ethnic, political, religious, and scientific differences.
