Two of the editors, including the one who disagrees with the other three, have not responded, and so apparently are declining moderated discussion, which is voluntary. Resume discussion on the article talk page. Do not edit-war. At this point, there seems to be a rough consensus for the inclusion of the subsection. The disagreement can be handled either by the editor who has the local minority viewpoint recognizing that they are in a minority, or by a Request for Comments.

Dispute overview Three editors agree but twice another editor has removed a subsection to "Culture" in the article which the first three agree should introduce the reader to the reality that African-Americans are a unique population in American society because of slavery and its legacy, which prevented them from fully participating in mainstream culture and resulted in a significant parallel body of artistic expression that eventually gained internal and external appreciation. The legacy of the use of law, politics, and social convention to suppress African-American culture is unique within American society and requires inclusion in the article.

2020 United States Presidential Election in Pennsylvania
– General close. See comments for reasoning. | Closed as improperly filed. The filing editor has misspelled the usernames of some of the listed editors and has not provided notice to any of them. Also, with nine editors, an RFC is probably a better way to resolve this dispute, and moderated discussion with a large number of editors is also likely to end with an RFC. The filing editor should recheck the usernames of the other editors before refiling this request, and should notify them of this filing, or should use an RFC.

Users involved
Dispute overview This dispute is about what types of maps to allow on the infobox of the article. There are currently maps showing results by county, municipality and precinct. There has been discourse on whether or not results by other forms of government or subdivisions should be allowed, such as results by congressional district, Catholic diocese or state patrols. A user posted a map of election results by Catholic diocese, some people thought it was a joke map or an Election Twitter meme and supported removing it. The user who made it said she made it as a serious map and not a joke. In the Talk section of the article, someone linked to a Tweet trying to make it seem like it was a joke but the Tweet was taken out of context. Some individuals support allowing more maps as it can provide useful information about voting patterns by religion, education and more in their view. The talk section of the Catholic diocese map drama was closed by someone, however there is still discourse and debate over the usefulness of these maps and whether an online encyclopedia should hold these maps. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? There was extensive discussion on the Talk page of the article before it was closed by someone. The conflict has also been discussed in other spaces (as the Wiki discussion page mentions Twitter), no agreement has been reached between the 2 sides. How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Help determine if the Catholic diocese map should be allowed on the Wikibox and setting future standards for what types of maps should be allowed on there as there is no clear consensus on if precinct maps should be allowed or results by Congressional district or stuff like state patrols and Catholic diocese. There is no set standard in place and the debate over the rules is heated. Summary of dispute by Stuart8Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview I wrote a 90+ citation article drawing from Wikipedia approved 'acceptable' sources, calculating the military spending of Russia. I put it in UNOFFICIAL estimates and some editor keeps deleting it. I only used the sorts of sources one would see in The Economist, and cited EIA, World Bank, SIPRI, Rostat, Russian Ministry Of Defense, and other reputable sources. I extensively used archive.org for citations when the original was unavailable. Some editor just deletes it because I cited my own article. This is a synthetic article: combining primary research. It is not an analytic article: I do not need to be an expert to cite the research. I am an expert, but fine, let's dismiss that aspect. They should EVALUATE THE RESEARCH instead of dismissing. Is wikipedia a consensus engine, or an encyclopedia? If the former, then fine. Delete away. But if it's actually an encyclopedia, then the factuality of my claims must be evaluated.

Dispute overview Currently, Kazimir Malevich is listed as a Russian artist. This stems from the failure to differentiate Russian and Ukrainian culture during the 19th and 20th century because of the destruction and oppression of Ukraine's national identity by the Russian empire and USSR. This has reflected itself in older academic writing. These old sources can no longer be used as as a basis to list Malevich as Russian. New articles reflect the realization of Ukrainian figures as UKRAINIAN and the decolonization process of Ukraine's culture and national identity. While its true that Malevich lived in Russia and the USSR, he self identified as Ukrainian a number of times and his art was profoundly influenced by Ukraine and his identity as a Ukrainian, by his own admission and the style of his work. Malevich's Ukrainian identity is the root of his notability, he is no different than figures such as Taras Shevchenko and other Ukrainian politicians alive during the same time who lived in Russia and were no less "Russian" than Malevich but are undoubtedly considered Ukrainian by wikipedia and every other relevant academic institution. This debate has been going on for a year, with almost all editors agreeing Malevich is Ukrainian. Except for 2.

Summary of dispute by SinestroKazimir Malevich must be recognized as a Ukrainian painter. The Russian Empire was as imperialist as it was a multi-ethnic state. It is wrong to judge the person's identity by the name of the Empire and not by his actions (art and written documents) and views during his life. Malevich's early years in villages and settlements throughout Ukraine, his early exposure to Ukrainian culture and traditions, and the later association with Kyivan artists had a profound impact on his artistic development. Malevich wrote two autobiographical essays in 1923-25 and 1933. In the latter one he wrote explicitly: "... We reminisced about the Ukraine. We were both Ukrainians.". The latter autobiography, in which he clearly identifies himself as Ukrainian, can be interpreted as a veiled form of protest against the man-made famine known as the Holodomor, which occurred in 1932-1933. As an artist, he depicted the tragic situation of Ukrainian peasants during the forced collectivization and the Holodomor. His pencil drawing "Three figures or "Where there is sickle and hammer, there is death and hunger", shows three figures with their facial features replaced by sickle and hammer, a cross and a coffin. His other works "Enslaved Ukraine", "The Man Who Runs" are also dedicated to this event. It is essential to recognize Malevich as a Ukrainian painter to understand the full extent of his artistic contributions. Many museums around the world (Stedelijk Museum, Metropolitan Museum and Museum of Modern Art) have already embraced this perspective. I accept the rules of the dispute resolution.Summary of dispute by MellkPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
There has been an online campaign to change this, so naturally we had a bunch of newly created accounts and SPAs (including the filer) arrive at this particular article without regard for the guidelines which has required the article to be protected a bunch of times.

Zeroth statement by moderator (Malevich)I have some preliminary comments on this dispute. First, the filing editor has not notified the other editors of this filing. They should do this on their user talk pages. {{DRN-notice}} may be used for that purpose. Second, this is a contentious topic. Editors who agree to participate in this dispute resolution are agreeing that they are aware of the contentious topics procedure. I have written a set of rules that apply to dispute resolution in contentious topics areas. The ArbCom has established these procedures to minimize battleground editing about areas that have historically been real battlegrounds. In this case, the tenses of the verbs in referring to the battleground are both past tense and present tense. So if you agree to take part in this dispute resolution, you agree that you have been alerted to special procedures for dealing with disruptive editing. Third, this appears to be only secondarily about article content, and primarily about policy, of how to refer to the nationality of a person who was born in Kyiv in the late nineteenth century, because article content should follow policy. Fourth, I will be making an inquiry at a policy-oriented forum as to what Wikipedia policy is about referring to the nationality of a person who was born in Kyiv in the late nineteenth century. These rules will also apply to any discussion at any other forum. Fifth, please state in the section for your statements that you accept the rules. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview I'm sorry as the dispute in spanish, but a brief overview of the matter is: I believe the proper title of the page should be "Masacre de Apoquindo" or Apoquindo Massacre. This is due to two main reasons: the first is that it was in fact an event in which chilean police forces murdered innocent civilians as they surrounded insurgents who had stolen a bank. The second is that there was another "Caso Apoquindo" related to sexual abuse of children, and improper labeling of the incidents could cause confusion. Alpinu has reverted my changes without proper justification and has threatened for my account to be blocked due to "arbitrary changes" despite the fact that I gave an extensive justification when editing the page. They also deleted the category of "Masacres de Chile" with no primary or secondary sources backing up Alpinu's claims. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? I tried discussing this on my own discussion page, where I was notified that I could be blocked due to arbitrary editing. [[2]] How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I would like for you to review the evidence I brought forth arguing why it is more proper to a) have the title of the page be "Masacre de Apoquindo" (If it has to do with the page url, I can understand it being different) and b) why it should be included in the list of "Masacres de Chile".

Dispute overview This article is about an organisation called GISAID which is behind a virus genome database. The database was established as a collaboration between the GISAID organisation and the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics (SIB), whereby GISAID would provide funding for the SIB to establish the database. In 2009, the two organisations fell out with SIB disconnecting the database from GISAID, alleging that the agreed funding had not been provided. A legal dispute ensued, with GISAID suing the SIB. These events were covered in the media at the time, and are not for the most part in dispute here. The outcome of this legal dispute was that GISAID (which had brought the action) was ordered in 2014 to pay $1M to the SIB. This is attested to by primary sources from the legal action, a secondary legal source, and most recently a news article in Science magazine. The current dispute is over whether it is reasonable to include the outcome of this legal dispute in some form in the article. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Providing mediation, advice on Wikipedia policy, and advice on next steps. Summary of dispute by BD2412Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
It is a bit premature to bring this issue to DRN. I see that not all participants in the discussion appear to have been notified/listed as participants. With respect to the point in contention, which is a court decision awarding arbitration damages in a proceeding well after the dispute itself was effectively resolved, there is an absence of consensus on the question of whether this information is at all noteworthy. As explained repeatedly in the discussion, outcomes on post-litigation motions are run-of-the-mill occurrances that are routinely excluded from articles on entities because they will inherently be WP:UNDUE. Properly explaining the actual legal insignificance of such an occurrance would take a disproportionate amount of text in the article. There are sources that discuss the effect of the 2009 dispute on the actions of the parties. There is, as noted in the discussion, no source that specifies that because of the 2014 decision, anything at all changed with respect to the parties. The important information is already in the article, and editors on the talk page are welcome to try and generate a consensus there before escalating this here. BD2412 T 16:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by AppleBsTimeAgree with the comments of User:BD2412 that this seems an unnecessary escalation, and if the complaint were to be accepted, it's contrary to WP:UNDUE. I have a hard time seeing how a dispute that had no visible impact on either of the involved entities is encyclopedic in nature. - AppleBsTime (talk) 16:58, 24 April 2023 (UTC) Summary of dispute by CNMall41Please keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.

Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview User D Lazard keeps removing well-known connections between the dual numbers and more advanced topics in mathematics. These connections are well known as I have found from discussions with algebraic geometers, logicians and topos theorists. In particular, the spectrum of the dual numbers is well-known (at least, among the algebraic geometers I've spoken to) as a simple example of a non-reduced scheme. For logicians and topos theorists, the dual numbers show up explicitly in Lawvere's Synthetic differential geometry. The dual numbers are also mentioned by name in the article on Exalcomm. Lazard argues that there aren't any references to this by name in the literature. I personally doubt it, but I haven't worked deeply enough in the above areas to be sure that he's wrong. I've certainly spoken to experts in the above areas and these connections are known to them under the explicit name dual numbers. The edit war story is this: Some users added this advanced material some years ago. Then Lazard removed the material. Then I reverted Lazard's revert 2 years ago. Then Lazard reverted my revert just after. 2 years later, I've restored the material, and begun this process here. We haven't heard any 3rd opinions yet. I might've been too hasty in reverting. Thank you. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk page discussion where only myself and Lazard have participated. How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Say whether the material should be kept. Or satisfy Lazard's concerns. Dual numbers discussionPlease keep discussion to a minimum before being opened by a volunteer.

Dispute overview I edited the Dhaka article to add content about partition-related history (in particular the partition-induced demographic shifts in the city), using three scholarly sources. An editor seems adamant that these will not be added to the page, and keeps reverting every edit related to it that I make to the article (1 2 3). Despite multiple requests for sources on the talk page to demonstrate why the content doesn’t belong in the article, the editor hasn’t really come up with any sources. My sources, to which I’ve added another (non-scholarly) one, are available here. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here?

Dispute overview The dispute is over changing the opening sentence of the "Accession and coronation plans" section. Three editors favour the change: 1, 2, and 3. Two editors do not: [1, 2. The remainder of those working on the article appear to be neutral. There has been extensive discussion. However, the situation is now a basic edit-war; one party no longer engages in discussion; the others have reached the point of repeating themselves. This is within the context of a taskforce working over the past couple of months to get the article to GA status ahead of the article subject's coronation on 6 May; the dispute appears to be the one thing now preventing that from happening. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here?
How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Assist with encouraging some editors to communicate with cogent arguments, show flexibility, and a willingness to compromise in order to find a mutually satisfactory resolution as soon as possible, given the article taskforce's looming deadline. Summary of dispute by MiesianiacalThe article has been the focus of a taskforce over the past couple of months aiming to get it to GA status ahead of Charles' coronation on 6 May. Within that effort, it was agreed to conduct a brief RfC on the article's first sentence, to give guidance on what to do with said sentence before the deadline of 5 May. With the outcome of that RfC becoming clearer as the taskforce's deadline approaches, editors began trying to make edits to other parts of the article body that work in conjunction with the article opening, expanding on the brief first sentence of the lede; first in the lede's fourth paragraph (not the best place, IMHO), then in the "Accession and coronation plans" section (which fits better with the purpose of the lede-body relationship, as defined by WP:LEDE). Every attempt, however, is simply reverted. Tries have been made at discussing the matter. However, as I see it, neither party opposed to the changes has presented a credible reasoning for their actions and have been relying on reverting. One is now aiming to start an RfC This dispute is now one of the reasons GA status is being held off. Some editors are flexible and open to compromise. An injection of impartial, fresh input is required. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 21:31, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Summary of dispute by 109.etcPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.

Love jihad
– General close. See comments for reasoning. | Closed for various reasons. First, the filing editor has not listed and notified the other editors. Second, there is also a Request for Comments in progress at the article talk page. DRN does not discuss an article that is also the subject of other dispute resolution processes including RFC. Third, the filing editor does not seem to be reporting a dispute about article content, so much as a concern about overall bias of the article. A concern about overall bias in an article is a neutrality concern, which is the purpose of the neutral point of view noticeboard. The Neutral Point of View Noticeboard will be a better forum for this concern. File a report at NPOVN that you think that the article is biased, beginning with the lede paragraph.

Dispute overview This page is evidently biased from the first paragraph, there is an attempt to dismiss and downplay the love jihad as just a conspiracy theory and clear bigotry against hindus by stating that "Hindu women are possessions of men". The editor outrightly refuses to accept a report from Times of India stating it is not reliable. But at the same time the same page has 24 references stories from times of India. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? This page should be unbiased and neutral based on facts and not allow jihadi sympathisers to vandalise the page to suite their agenda. There is an attempt to dismiss and downplay the Love jihad angle like the london grooming gangs. A lone wolf terror attack is still a terrorist act. By dismissing love jihad as just a conspiracy theory this page is being unfair to the victims of love jihad. There are cases of Nimisha fathima, who is in afghan jail after being victim of love jihad. Love jihad discussionPlease keep discussion to a minimum before being opened by a volunteer.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview On a series of 12 changes, I made certain improvements to the article content: I copy-edited parts of the content, added material complimenting previous concepts briefly introduced, added citations to academic dissertations, and added a cleanup tag to a paragraph that violated the original research policy. However, all of these changes were mass-reverted by an editor stating that none of these changes made any improvement to the article. It was further reverted by another involved editor for pretty much the same reason, but this editor has not discussed it on the talk page yet. I have explained in extensive detail and provided context to every diff I made, but I have not received an explanation from both the involved editors and the discussion was stonewalled.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview The dispute is about certain lines on the page which are possibly violating Wikipedia guidelines and policies and are not properly sourced. I made some edits tomorrow which were reverted by TrangaBellam. The first issue is regarding an unsourced line regarding "conservative media". This is not mentioned in any of the cited sources and is clearly WP:OR - Have the editors who wrote this analyzed all of the reviews and concluded that "favorable reviews" (according to them) are only present in "conservative media" (Editors have decided political leanings)? The second is about an American political incident, the cited source is this. This article is about an interview with Tony Abbott about India so ideally it should be mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Babones#India, not in the United States section. Please note that I am not familiar with American politics so there might be things here I'm ignorant about but this dispute is only about the application of relevant policies and guidelines.

In the lead section of the article, do we mention the subject’s ethnicity, or do we wait until the first words of the body (one paragraph later) to do that? How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? Please offer an opinion in line with the guideline. Summary of dispute by Gyalu22The MOS:ETHNICITY guideline (second example description) instructs the mentioning of the person's ethnicity in the second sentence of the lead. Biruitorul and Aristeus01 reverted the change and hold that Eckstein-Kovács's ethnicity should be completely omitted from the lead despite he, for most of his career was part of an exclusively Hungarian party in Romania that aims to represent the minority's interests. They refused to react to my reason for changing during the whole talk page discussion. Gyalu22 (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2023 (UTC) Summary of dispute by Aristeus01I think the conversation on the talk page says it all. Although consensus was reached, gyalu22 continues to disagree.

Zeroth statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)I am ready to act as the moderator. The editors should read the ground rules and indicate whether they want moderated discussion. Is the only question whether his ethnicity should be mentioned in the lede sentence? The hatnote states that the native form of his name is family name followed by given name, which is Hungarian usage. Is that in itself a reason why his ethnicity should be mentioned? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC) Zeroth statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)Hi @Robert McClenon and thank you for joining. I agree with moderated discussion. The disagreement is only centred around the lead section. To my understanding the reason invoked for mentioning the ethnicity does not relate to name order but to the relevance of his ethnicity in his political career, plainly speaking being Hungarian he joined UDMR, a political party for Hungarian minority. My reasoning is that the reason for joining a political party or another is not a notable achievement for Wikipedia. --Aristeus01 (talk) 16:12, 25 April 2023 (UTC) I too agree with moderation; thank you for your willingness to help. The dispute does not have to do with the hatnote. Rather, it revolves around whether the lead section (above “Biography”) should mention his ethnicity. Aristeus01 and I argue that the answer is no. This view is grounded in MOS:ETHNICITY and in the fact that all similar articles — biographies of politicians who belong to ethnic-minority parties — follow the same principle: mention citizenship and party in the lead, ethnicity in the body. — Biruitorul Talk 17:19, 25 April 2023 (UTC) I expressed doubts about the correctness of taking this dispute to noticeboard reading the informal, but if Robert McClenon doesn't hesitate starting the dispute resolution, I only thank his help in it. Following the guideline cited above by Biruitorul, it's needless to add the ethnicity of the person if it isn't relevant to his career, so this isn't only about that. In the case of Eckstein-Kovács, ethnicity does define importance. He spent most of his political career as a prominent member of an exclusively Hungarian party in Romania that aims to represent the minority's interests. The guideline puts its directions regarding this situation as "the second example is someone who emigrated as a child and continued to identify as a citizen of their adopted country (...) we do not add ethnicity ("Jewish-American") or country of birth ("Russian-born American"). These details can be introduced in the second sentence if they are of defining importance." Gyalu22 (talk) 14:41, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
First statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)Please read the rules again. Back-and-forth discussion should be in the space reserved for the purpose. Is the only issue whether to list his ethnicity (Hungarian) in the lede paragraph? Two reasons have been mentioned why his ethnicity is significant, the first being his involvement in a political party for the Hungarian minority in Romania, and the second being that the native form of his name, which is noted in the hatnote, is a Hungarian name. What are the reasons for not identifying his ethnicity "up front"? Are there any other issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC) First statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)
Péter Eckstein-Kovács notability comes mostly from his work, as a politician, around minority rights. While not entirely said in the article, he spoke and acted against antisemitism, discrimination of Rroma (Romani) people, and the scarcity of rights for LGBT community. He also resigned from UDMR in 2018 citing discontent with the conservative line followed by the party. Hence, his notability is for defending human rights and minority rights in general, and not specifically Hungarian minority rights, even less so Hungarian minority political representation in Romania (since he resigned from the party). Since notability is the root for MOS:Ethnicity and his activity is beyond Hungarian minority rights, acting (officially and unofficially) on behalf of Romania, his ethnicity expressly added in the lead does not ”link”.--Aristeus01 (talk) 11:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Second statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)It appears that the only issue is the lede sentence. If there are any other issues, please identify them. I am asking each editor to propose what they think should be the lede sentence. Just propose the lede sentence. If you want to state why that is your preference, you may do so in the space for back-and-forth discussion. After that, I will ask each editor whether they will accept any of the other proposed lede sentences. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Second statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)Péter Eckstein-Kovács (born July 5, 1956) is a Romanian lawyer and a liberal politician. Between February 1999-November 2000 he was the Minister of Minority Affairs in Romania, and between January 2009 and September 2011 he was the President's Advisor on Minority Affairs, a position he resigned from in disagreement with the presidential stand on Roșia Montană Project. He was a member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies for Cluj County from 1990 to 1992, a member of the Cluj-Napoca city council from 1992 to 1996, and, as a member of the Romanian Senate between 2004-2008, he was the chairman of its Committee on Legal, Disciplinary, Immune, Justifying and European Affairs. A former member of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), he resigned in 2018 citing disagreement with the party's policy on legal issues. --Aristeus01 (talk) 10:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Péter Eckstein-Kovács (born July 5, 1956) is a Romanian lawyer and politician. Of Hungarian ethnicity, he was formerly a member of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR). He was also a member of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies for Cluj County from 1990 to 1992 and a member of the Cluj-Napoca city council from 1992 to 1996. That year, he was elected to the Romanian Senate, where he served until 2008, except for a stint as Minister-Delegate for National Minorities in the Radu Vasile cabinet (1999) and a break until he was elected again in November 2000. He and his wife have three children.<ref>[User:Gyalu22|Gyalu22]] (talk) 13:16, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Third statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)There have been two draft versions of the lede paragraph, by User:Aristeus01 and by User:Gyalu22. I am now asking each editor to state whether they can agree to each of three versions of the lede, the two that have been drafted here, and the existing version. At this point, it is not necessary to say why you will or will not accept a version. However, if you are willing to accept a lede article with minor changes, please describe the minor changes (which will be another version). Robert McClenon (talk) 14:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC) Third statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)I agree with the lede as it is currently in the article, with no modifications. The version I suggested is for future conversations, I think--Aristeus01 (talk) 19:27, 4 May 2023 (UTC) I stick to my original proposal and I don't understand why Aristeus01 doesn't accept it. We discussed the issue at length and he got the answers he wanted. I don't see any reason for obstructing the change. Gyalu22 (talk) 13:23, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Fourth statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)It appears that we have an impasse as to whether to mention his Hungarian ethnicity in the lede of the article. I will ask if anyone can propose a compromise, but I am not optimistic, because it seems to be a yes-no question. An otherwise uninvolved editor has noted that both the Romanian Wikipedia and the Hungarian Wikipedia refer to his Hungarian ethnicity in their ledes. In the English Wikipedia, we are not required to follow the usage of other Wikipedias, but should consider their usages. Unless someone has some other idea or proposal, I will develop a Request for Comments and post it. Are there any other questions, or any compromise suggestions? Robert McClenon (talk) 00:21, 7 May 2023 (UTC) Fourth statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)I don't have an idea. It looks like to me that in the back-and-forth discussion we discussed all factors to conclude this dispute. However, if Robert McClenon thinks a RfC creator can come up with some new, I don't reject getting presented with them. Gyalu22 (talk) 10:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC) Perhaps RfC would be best, I am still unconvinced the ethnicity is relevant to the notability or that it follows English Wikipedia rules.--Aristeus01 (talk) 21:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)The draft RFC is at Talk:Péter Eckstein-Kovács/RFC. Unless there are any substantive objections or issues in the next 24 hours, I will move it to the talk page and activate it by taking out the nowiki thingies. The RFC will then run for 30 days. Are there any issues in the meantime? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)Hopefully the process won't conclude with the two Romanian users vetoing any change while continuing to refuse discussion. Gyalu22 (talk) 15:38, 10 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statement by moderator (Eckstein-Kovacs)The RFC is running. If there are no other questions, this dispute will be closed. User:Gyalu22 – Your last comment is hard to understand. What do you mean by vetoing change and refusing to discuss? We have been discussing.Robert McClenon (talk) 16:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statements by editors (Eckstein-Kovacs)Robert McClenon, I said that the users who oppose the edit aren't willing to engage in a proper argument. When I asked Aristeus01 to tell me what is his problem after he received answers for his doubts I was again faced with the same things, and when I repeated my answers they were again just left there. This doesn't facilitate resolving the dispute by logic. They can do that because currently it is two (Aristeus01 + Biruitorul) to one in favor of no change. However, I meant to make a last note, not an objection. RfC can make a decision at least, so I don't want its cancellation. Gyalu22 (talk) 17:06, 11 May 2023 (UTC) Back-and-forth discussion (Eckstein-Kovacs)At the moment, I don't wish to add anything to the above section because I already told my reasons. Instead, I would answer the doubts raised there. So MOS:ETHNICTY says this, quoted (though only partly) by Biruitorul too: "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability." First, I admit that my statement that the UDMR is an "exclusively Hungarian party" is factually incorrect, Biruitorul proved that they did propose Romanian representatives in counties outside Transylvania in the past. Still, nearly all of its members are Hungarians and the party's declared objective is to validate the interests of Hungarians. Eckstein-Kovács was a prominent member of this party for most of his political career, running for president in 2011 and finishing second in the election. For me, it is clear that his ethnicity is key to his career. (He wouldn't have been in the parliament from a Hungarian party without him being Hungarian.) Yes, the lead already mentions that he was formerly a member of the UDMR, but as I said on the talk page, the lead should provide concrete information about the person, not clues. According to the related guideline, his ethnicity should be mentioned and this doesn't change on it. I didn't find anything that verifies Aristeus01's claims, but even if we assume that they are completely true, his conclusion is still incorrect. Just because Aristeus01 doesn't mention Eckstein-Kovács's actions in defending Hungarian minority rights, that doesn't mean that there weren't far more instances for that than for he defending other minority's rights. Defending the rights of other minorities is in connection with defending the rights of one specific minority anyways. Gyalu22 (talk) 13:35, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Aristeus01, you just don't like it? You've received answers to all your doubts. Please tell me what is your problem.Gyalu22 (talk) 14:23, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Volunteer informationI do not have a dog in this fight; I just translate things. I thought to mention for the moderator's benefit that this gentleman's ethnicity is mentioned in the first sentence both on his Romanian Wikipedia page and Hungarian Wikipedia page. I don't know if this helps you or if it's appropriate to put this info here or on your talk page, Robert McClenon. ♦ WikiUser70176 ♦(My talk page) 13:07, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview I believe the lead in this article includes information that is inaccurate. I also believe it gives disproportionate attention to parts of the article than would be helpful to readers. I have been working to address this for about a month through the talk page, compromise and incremental editing but one particular editor has continued to revert my edits. (In full disclosure, we probably got off on the wrong foot because I engaged in some of the same behaviors initially). Specifically, the article claims that 12.5% of Purdue Global's revenue goes to Kaplan. I have shown through citations that that only occurs in certain financial situations. I also think this is a minor point that doesn't belong in the second sentence. Moreover, Purdue Global has existed for five years and is a significantly different school than when it was a for-profit university called Kaplan. It now is a public university managed by Purdue University. That history deserves to be in the intro, but at some point it should drop lower in the lead than the first sentence. Other editors have agreed with me but the change keeps getting reverted. This matters because some people who do not like online university, have an impartial view and want to try to paint it as still being in the control of Kaplan. Both viewpoints should be in the article, but I believe the aggressive protection of the lead may be due to NPOV editing. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I would like to get some additional editors involved to provide feedback and who can help us find the right edits to tighten the lead.

Zeroth statement by moderator (Purdue)I will try to mediate this dispute if User:Ushistorygeek agrees to moderated discussion. Please read the usual rules. Do not edit the article in question while moderated discussion is in progress. However, User:Ushistorygeek has been notified of this filing, and has not replied, and has again reverted the edits by User:JA1776. I also note that another editor has joined the discussion at the article talk page, Talk:Purdue University Global. I am adding them to the list of editors and will notify them. Participation at DRN is voluntary. If Ushistorygeek does not respond, moderated discussion will be impossible. What the next steps are for JA1776 are described in the discussion failure essay, but maybe further discussion at the article talk page might be useful. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:50, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Zeroth statements by editors (Purdue)I am new to this process so apologies if I get something wrong but I believe I am supposed to get things started here: First, the statement that "Graham Holdings is entitled to receive 12.5% of Purdue Global's operating revenue" conflicts with the wording in the rest of the article and the citations I have offered such as this one. I propose that instead, we keep it consistent with how it's described in the body of the article such as "may receive 12.5% of Purdue Global's operating revenue if certain financial benchmarks are met." The wording matters because to my knowledge, the conditions to pay the full 12.5% have never occurred. Second, I do not believe the current intro gives readers an adequate synopsis of what Purdue Global is today and how it's governed by Purdue. The lede summarizes the history of its creation and relationship with Kaplan but outside one or two sentences at most, it fails to go beyond that. I suggest a paragraph summarizing what Purdue Global is today and a paragraph summarizing its creation and relationship to Kaplan. Third, all this matters because there are critics of online education who want to give readers the impression that Purdue Global is nothing more than Kaplan and the story of its start. I don't object to including that viewpoint, but balance requires space for a description of what the school looks like today and for the viewpoint of those who believe Purdue has transformed the school into an effective and mainstream, public adult-education university. I have tried to make these corrections through many attempts but feel like they have mostly been reverted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JA1776 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC) First statement by moderator (Purdue)I will try to mediate this dispute. Please read the usual rules again. Do not edit the article in question while moderated discussion is in progress. Be civil and concise. Comment on content, not contributors. I am asking each editor to state, briefly, what parts of the article they think that there is a content dispute about. That is, what paragraphs do you want changed, or what paragraphs do you want left the same that the other editor wants changed? After we determine what parts of the article are being disputed, then we can discuss what the reasons are for the dispute. If there are any questions, please ask them at this time. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2023 (UTC) First statements by editors (Purdue)Generally, I am not looking to delete anything, just to to reorder and expand. I propose that the first paragraph briefly and succinctly introduce the school as being a part of the Purdue University System and that it was created by the acquisition of Kaplan University in 2018. For clarity, accuracy and balance, I would move the 12.5% sentence and one of the two references to Kaplan to another paragraph. I would put the current final sentence next and expand it to make it the second paragraph. It should describe today's Purdue Global: who leads it and the types of students it serves and the types of programs it offers. This would include a reference to its law school, which is highly unique as the oldest online law school in the country. Readers should know Purdue Global is more than its creation story. The current second and third paragraphs should come next which would make them the third and fourth paragraphs. The language would describe the partnership with Kaplan, including the 12.5% from the current first paragraph but with the added detail and citation that the 12.5% isn't a guarantee. Although I think the paragraph about the law that allowed Purdue Global to be created would be better in the history section, I am willing to compromise and keep that as the final paragraph. Editing to tag User:Ushistorygeek JA1776 (talk) 14:56, 4 May 2023 (UTC) Second statement by moderator (Purdue)One editor has proposed to rework the article. The other editor, while making a very brief statement, has not replied. At this point I will temporarily waive the rule against editing the article, and advise the filing editor to make the changes that they have proposed. If the other editor does not disagree, I will close the case. If the other editor disagrees, we will resume discussion.

I did not say it was not accurate, I said government sources dont establish weight for inclusion.

I dont really see why we are at DRN rn but whatever. nableezy - 13:45, 9 May 2023 (UTC) Summary of dispute by Iskandar323Government sources are primary sources for their own awards; not due weight has been established for this stuff in secondary sources, or, in other cases, actual unreliable sources such as police1.com were being used. The restoration of these undue awards was also being accompanied by the restoration of BLP violations. Altogether, the material in question was pretty guideline-deficient, hence its removal.

– General close. See comments for reasoning.Have you discussed this on a talk page?
| Closed as apparently wrong forum. This appears to be a dispute about copyright and fair use, and a disagreement with a decision at Files for Deletion to delete files. Two FFD discussions were closed as Delete. The filing editor appears to disagree with that closure, and has correctly requested Deletion Review. The DRV is still open, but is probably about to endorse the closure. DRN is not a forum to appeal a decision at DRV, and there isn't a forum to appeal a decision at DRV; DRV is meant to be a procedure of last resort. Since the DRV is still open, the filing editor may make a further statement at DRV, although it may not change the pending result of the DRV. If the filing editor thinks that the policies of English Wikipedia either are too restrictive or are being applied too restrictively, they may discuss the policies and their interpretation at Village Pump.

An article has been written about the Resistance leader, Lefter Talo, which will be the proper place for a discussion of his career, which does not need to be discussed in detail in the region article.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved
Dispute overview One user i adding personal information about an individual deeds and achievments into an article about a region. The other (me) is commenting that only the information about the region should be in the article about the region not personal information about the individual doings. Is a dispute which at the moment 4 different users have commented so after posting it at Wikipedia:Third opinion an admin redirected us here. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk:Vurg#Lefter Talo, Talk:Vurg#Lefter_Talo How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? We are discussing what belongs and doesnt belong to an article about a region. So since different users claim different opinions we need an experienced and neutral user to show us what belongs to resolve this dispute. Summary of dispute by KhirurgLefter Talo was an ethnic Greek individual born in the Vurg region of Albania who was active in the communist resistance during WW2 and his place of birth is now named after him. Sources describing this have been added in the article. The only reason there even is a dispute is because RoyalHeritageAlbania is extremely bothered by the mention of Talo's Greek ethnicity, and really really doesn't want it in the article. He won't say so openly, but reading between the lines in this talkpage thread [9] and looking at his edit summaries [10], it's pretty clear what he means when he says Summary of dispute by RoyalHeritageAlbI wanted to bring up a concern regarding the content in this Wikipedia article about the region where this notable person was born. I noticed that some editors have added information about the person's personal information & achievements and deeds to this article. However, I believe that this information should be included in the person's own personal article, rather than in the article about the region. While it is important to acknowledge the person's connection to the region, it is not necessary to include every detail of their personal life in the article. Doing so could detract from the main focus of the article, which is the region itself. Additionally, the personal achievements and deeds of the person are more appropriate for their own personal article, where they can be more thoroughly and accurately discussed.

Yes, I am writing to report an issue with the Vurg. I noticed that information about a notable person's (Lefter Talo) personal achievements and background ethnicity has been included in an article about the region where he was born. I believe that this information should not be included in that article and should be mentioned to the resistance leader's personal article instead. Furthermore, EVEN IF, some information about the individual could be included, I think that there are more important factors than details about his early life just as the ethnic background. However,i think these factors as well should remain on the individual's respective article, not on the region's article. A reader interested about Lefter Talo the individual should read about him on his respective article and only informations directly linked to the region should be in the article. The resistance leader should have his own page and be mentioned as a notable person in the region. But informations ABOUT him i dont think that belongs here. Thank you! RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC) First statement by moderator (Vurg)I am ready to mediate this dispute. Please read the ground rules and agree that you will follow the rules. This is a contentious topic because it involves nationalities in Eastern Europe. Do not engage in back-and-forth discussion. Address your comments to the moderator and the community. Be civil and concise. It appears that one matter of dispute is whether to include material about a particular guerilla leader. Is that correct? Are there any other issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:04, 22 April 2023 (UTC) Second statement by moderator (Vurg)It appears that the issue is how much the Vurg article should say about Lefter Talo. The argument for minimizing what is said about him is that anything other than a passing mention of him is off topic. It appears that there is an article about a village that is named for him, but that there isn't a biographical article about Lefter Talo, the guerilla. I am asking each editor to state, concisely, their opinion on what the Vurg article should say, and their opinion about what should be said about Lefter Talo, and in what article it should be said. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:16, 24 April 2023 (UTC) Second statements by editors (Vurg)My proposal is that we should only mention him as a notable figure (the name) then to create an article about Lefter Talo the individual (i have also proposed to move the Village's article [Lefter Talo] into "Lefter Talo (Village)" on the tp here [11] to avoid confusion but no other editor has replied). Then to link that specific article to the Vurg page and anyone who is interested to read about his personal information such as the background and deeds in this case can simply click there. (I am absolutely not trying to erase the well known infomation just like the ethnic background which the other user claims that i am trying to do.) RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 00:09, 26 April 2023 (UTC) Even if there was a separate article for the actual Lefter Talo person, there is still not a valid reason from hiding his ethnicity from readers of the vurg article, who might not read the Lefter Talo article. There is no question that hiding this information is the other party's main goal [12] [13]. All this time wasted, walls and and walls of text (and who knows how much more), just for that. Khirurg (talk) 01:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Third statement by moderator (Vurg)Discuss edits, not editors. Is there any issue about the Vurg article other than what it should say about Lefter Talo? If he is biographically notable, we should have a biographical article about him. If he is not notable, why should we mention him in the article? Will each editor please state, briefly, what information they think should be in the Vurg article about Lefter Talo, and why there should or should not be an article on Lefter Talo? Robert McClenon (talk) 16:45, 29 April 2023 (UTC) It appears that there is an article on the village named Lefter Talo. Naming a village for him seems to be evidence of his biographical notability. If two articles, for the man and the village, are in order, they can be disambiguated, with hatnotes to each other. Please comment. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:50, 29 April 2023 (UTC) Third statements by editors (Vurg)I think Lefter Talo is notable enough to have its own respective article. And should be mentioned as a notable person from the area. But informations ABOUT him either important like deeds or achievements either personal details just like the background and mother language religion etc should NOT be mentioned in the Vurg article but on the personal article which will be created about him. Lets keep Vurg only about the region. RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 19:03, 29 April 2023 (UTC) Fourth statement by moderator (Vurg)Is there agreement that Lefter Talo, a World War Two Resistance leader, is biographically notable and should be the subject of a biographical article? If so, is there agreement that the article on the region should only have a passing mention, linked to the biography? Robert McClenon (talk) 01:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Fourth statements by editors (Vurg)Even if there is a separate article for the individual, I don't see why cirtually nothing about him should be mentioned in the region he was from. It just seems a very strange and strict requirement. Khirurg (talk) 02:56, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Even if there would be anything to mention about the individual, would be the exact role that made the individual notable. Surely way more important than background information such as mother language ethnicity or religion. But still. Everything about him should be mentioned in his respective article not at Vurg. He was well known enough to have the name mentioned as a notable person but informations ABOUT him dont belong to an article about the region where he was born. Its like writing personal informations about Eminem on the Missouri article. This isnt even the article about Lefter Talo the village (which still should be limited to informations about the village itself not the namesake). Its an article about the whole region. RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 00:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statement by moderator (Vurg)I will ask the question again, because I think that it has been answered, but am not entirely sure. Is there agreement that we should have an article on Lefter Talo, the resistance leader? The article about the village should be disambiguated so that its name will be about the village. The reason why we should only mention the resistance leader in passing in the Vurg article is that his life is off topic with respect to the region, and would make the article a coatrack. Are there any other issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 14:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statements by editors (Vurg)Sure! That was my initial proposal and i agree! We should create an article about the leader. The villages name should be moved. And his personal information doesnt belong to Vurg article since its offtopic. RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 18:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statement by moderator (Vurg)We seem to have agreement that there should be an article on the person, Lefter Talo. If so, I will put this case on hold while the article about the person is being written. Are there any other issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 14:19, 8 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statements by editors (Vurg)Sure! I already moved the village article and will do the rest very soon. Thank you! RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 21:54, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
Seventh statement by moderator (Vurg)This dispute is on hold while we are waiting for an article to be written on Lefter Talo, the resistance leader in World War Two. When that article is written, there will be no need for the article on Vurg to describe his career in detail, because a link to the biographical article will be sufficient, and further discussion will be off-topic, as discussed in the coatrack essay. Are there any further questions? Robert McClenon (talk) 16:18, 11 May 2023 (UTC) Seventh statements by editors (Vurg)Eighth statement by moderator (Vurg)We seemed to have agreement that there should be an article on the person, Lefter Talo. However, the article is not being written. Unless there are any further comments, I will be closing the case shortly. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:09, 17 May 2023 (UTC) Eighth statements by editors (Vurg)Oh, so we should proceed in creating the article and making the edits right? I though we should have waited for other responses. I will contribute to it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalHeritageAlb (talk • contribs) 21:51, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Ninth statement by moderator (Vurg)There doesn't seem to be any disagreement. Having a village named for a person seems to be an additional form of notability to add to what reliable sources such as historians have written. So the next step is the writing of a biographical article. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC) NInth statements by editors (Vurg)I created the new article of Lefter Talo the individual. Still has a lot of work to add since his biography is rich with informations so anyone is welcomed to contribute in it. Clearly i have also added the information which the other user accused me of trying to hide. So i hope from now on we wont have any misunderstandings and i hope to reach a consensus in this case on what belongs and doesn't belong to the Vurg article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoyalHeritageAlb (talk • contribs) 00:58, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview User Reflecktor refuses to apply the only review concerning the effect of supplemental theanine on attention and other cognitive effects, defending use of primary studies (with low subject numbers) published 11-15 years ago, and ignoring WP:MEDASSESS. At Talk:Theanine, Reflecktor has not addressed the deficiencies of the primary studies, some of which had subject numbers as low as 5. Since 30 April, Reflecktor has reverted constructive changes in the article 7 times without engaging in talk page discussion that addresses the deficiencies of the original primary sources. Reflecktor uses edit-warring rather thn dispute resolution which was recommended. I have posted WikiProject talk page discussions (no feedback yet) at Physiology, Pharmacology, and Dietary Supplements. Reflecktor is defending weak, outdated primary research over the most recently published 2014 systematic review specific to the topics of concern. Reflecktor claims on the theanine talk page that there is no WP:MEDASSESS, which clearly states the heirarchy for choosing reliable sources on physiological/medical content, as applies for this dispute, is a systematic review. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk discussion specifically on the problems of small-study primary sources and preferred use of a relevant systematic review as advised by WP:SCIASSESS or WP:MEDASSESS (the content is physiological in nature, so WP:MEDRS applies). How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? The primary studies in question for the content Reflecktor wishes to use are too weak to support the content, and are 11-15 years out of date. A 2014 systematic review including the prior primary research is available as a source, and a statement about its findings was provided in the article here and on the talk page here. Rather than using the review to revise the content, Reflecktor has repeatedly edit-warred to defend the primary research, with no explanations offered on the talk page and no attempts at dispute resolution.

Essentially what has happened was Zefr has been edit warring to remove content he dislikes from the article for about a week. He's been very reticent to engage on the talk page and when he has he's shown no intent or evidence of intent to collaborate or compromise, instead he's serial reverting for his preferred version without consensus for his recent changes. As I explained on the talk page here Zefr has completely misrepresented the study review he cited. So not only is he being disruptive but he's inserting content not supported by the very source he cites. The reliable peer-reviewed journals that are used to source the longstanding version of the article are from very reliable journals, are plentiful in number, and are very recent. There's no reason they can't be reported in the article. Reflecktor (talk) 19:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Theanine discussionThis user should remove less content less often. I don't have time to learn everything on Theanine, however I have verified some of the sources in this edit are RS. This is a common problem. SECONDARY sources are not PRIMARY. Removing SECONDARYs based upon the objection that they are PRIMARY is strange. I think that is obvious. There are much worse problems on Wikipedia but I do find this irritating. Invasive Spices (talk) 19:34, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
First statement by moderator (Theanine)Please read the usual ground rules. Please pay particular attention at this time to the rule that there is to be no back-and-forth discussion, because that is just going back and forth more. Address your comments to the moderator (me) as the representative of the community. Do User:Zefr and User:Reflecktor agree to moderated discussion, and to accept the rules? Comment on content, not contributors. Our objective is to improve the encyclopedia. So each editor should, in addition to agreeing to the rules, state briefly what you want to change in the article, or what you want left the same that the other editor wants to change. Focus your comments on article content. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:42, 10 May 2023 (UTC) First statements by editors (Theanine)Thanks, Robert - I agree. I made this edit using the only review on the supplemental cognitive effects of theanine (by itself is of interest for the Wikipedia article): A 2014 review of human studies found that combined caffeine and L-theanine improved alertness and attention in the first 2 hours after ingestion, but when 250 mg of theanine was administered by itself, no effect on alertness was found. Reflecktor reverted that edit and has not tried to improve the content using the review. Quoting from the review Discussion: "250 mg of L-theanine was administered in isolation, no treatment effect on alertness was reported." Also quoting: "Further data containing varying doses of L-theanine administered in isolation would be necessary to more accurately determine the differential effect of L-theanine on alertness." Among all the Discussion where theanine in isolation was evaluated, there was mention of "a moderate effect on contentment", but no other no firm conclusions to state for the general encyclopedia user. I'm open to any other editor's interpretation of that review and contribution of a clear summary statement. Zefr (talk) 01:36, 10 May 2023 (UTC) Yes I agree to the rules. I want to keep the original version of the article, specifically this part 'The combination of theanine and caffeine has been shown to promote faster simple reaction time, task switching, sustained attention, faster numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy' which is sourced by multiple peer-reviewed scholarly journals. In addition to this I oppose the introduction of Zefr's content above as it misrepresents the source cited. Reflecktor (talk) 06:54, 10 May 2023 (UTC) Second statements by editors (Theanine)Above, and in the theanine article as it stands, Reflecktor cites 7 separate primary studies to state the following effects on cognition (not including mood, which has also been investigated and is assessed separately in the review): 'The combination of theanine and caffeine has been shown to promote faster 1) simple reaction time, 2) task switching, 3) sustained attention, 4) faster numeric working memory reaction time, and 5) improved sentence verification accuracy'. (numbers are mine for organization) Firstly and significantly, this is problematic for the article because the isolated effect of theanine should be the only information included in an article on theanine. Including an effect of caffeine immeasurably disguises separate knowledge of theanine properties alone. In the Conclusion section of the review, the authors state "analysis of trends in predicted values suggests that the majority of the attention-enhancing effects can be attributed to caffeine dose", i.e., theanine stimulatory effects alone on the cognitive parameters were not found. To attempt clarification on what theanine alone does to cognitive parameters mentioned in Reflecktor's sentence, I made the following summary from the Camfield review for only the cognitive effects, providing "direct quotes" in italics from the review below. The review is not easy to read, so I invite Reflecktor and the moderator to clarify any mis-statement. 1. simple reaction time. "Since no noticeable effects on RVIP accuracy or reaction time were observed when L-theanine was administered in isolation, these findings suggest that caffeine is most likely responsible for RVIP performance improvements". RVIP = Rapid Visual Information Processing, a test of sustained attention related to working memory (defined in the review). 2. task (or attention) switching. "For L-theanine, the predicted values for effect sizes suggest that L-theanine dose has little effect on attention switching accuracy in the first hour and only marginal effects on accuracy in the second hour, with a trend toward a gradual decrease in accuracy as L-theanine dose increases." 3. sustained attention (measured by RVIP). "Since no noticeable effects on RVIP accuracy or reaction time were observed when L-theanine was administered in isolation, these findings suggest that caffeine is most likely responsible for RVIP performance improvements." 4. working memory. This parameter is included in the RVIP definition, so is the same conclusion as #3. 5. sentence verification accuracy. Not assessed in the review. Apparently, this parameter was included in Reflecktor's sentence only from a primary source, i.e., preliminary research unconfirmed by followup studies or a review, and therefore too inconclusive to include in the encyclopedia per WP:MEDASSESS. The sentence I had written into the theanine article (reverted by Reflecktor) was "A 2014 review of human studies found that combined caffeine and L-theanine improved alertness and attention in the first 2 hours after ingestion, but when 250 mg of theanine was administered by itself, no effect on alertness was found." Based on the conclusion above to avoid content that includes the combination of caffeine and theanine, I withdraw that sentence for consideration. A more accurate conclusion from the review and my summary above - specific for theanine by itself - suggested for input to the article under Research on supplement use is: "There is no evidence that theanine in isolation affects reaction time, alertness, attention or memory." (citing the review). Zefr (talk) 17:29, 11 May 2023 (UTC) I think that Zefr is completely misreading the source he cites. For instance the quote 'since no noticeable effects on RVIP accuracy or reaction time were observed when L-theanine was administered in isolation, these findings suggest that caffeine is most likely responsible for RVIP performance improvements' is not a part of the systematic review conclusions, but merely a summary of one primary study. The quote in question is proceeded by "In the study by Owen et al" indicating such, anybody can read the review and confirm this for themselves. So if the problem is that primary sources are not reliable (as Zefr indicates) then it should not be stated that theanine is not responsible for this effect based upon the finding of one primary study. Furthermore the review itself that Zefr cites seems to contradict what they are sourcing it for. It states in the conclusion that 'analysis of trends in predicted values suggests that the majority of the attention-enhancing effects can be attributed to caffeine dose'. I have italicized the phrase 'the majority' for to say the majority of the effects is caused by caffeine is not to say all the effects can be account for by caffeine. This seems to contradict Zefr's suggestion that this implies theanine in isolation does not cause these things. It's also worth noting that the review Zefr cites states 'a small effect size was reported in the second hour in response to 200 mg of L-theanine administered alone' and that 'For L-theanine, the predicted values for effect sizes suggest that L-theanine dose has little effect on attention switching accuracy in the first hour and only marginal effects on accuracy in the second hour'. All of this indicates that although theanine has limited effects, it does indeed have an effect and that it's not just the caffeine having an effect. So in summary the content Zefr wishes to introduce is not supported by the source they have provided. Reflecktor (talk) 10:11, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
Third statement by moderator (Theanine)The above statements are long. When I say to be civil and concise, I mean to be civil and concise, not to be civil at length. So I am starting over and asking each editor to state concisely what the issues are. If there are multiple sections of the article where you disagree, provide one paragraph about each of them. At this time, do not explain why you think your version is better; just tell what you want. So, identify each section of the article where there is a content dispute, and state in one paragraph what the disagreement is. We can discuss why later. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2023 (UTC) Third statements by Zefr (Theanine)The existing sentence for the article's section entitled Research on supplement use, composed by Reflecktor and supported only by 7 primary sources, states: "The combination of theanine and caffeine has been shown to promote faster simple reaction time, task switching, sustained attention, faster numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy." The parameters assessed are physiological and/or psychological in nature, and therefore fall under WP:MEDRS, which states "Primary sources should generally not be used for medical content, as such sources often include unreliable or preliminary information", with further MEDRS guidance here. A search of the literature shows that only one review exists, covering all the topics of the disputed sentence except "sentence verification accuracy" (unsourced). My draft statement using the review - proposed to replace the existing statement and 7 primary sources - is: "There is no evidence that theanine in isolation affects reaction time, alertness, attention or memory."
Third statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)In keeping with your request to 'not explain why you think your version is better; just tell what you want', I'll just state very briefly what I want. I want to keep the long-standing version of the article which states 'the combination of theanine and caffeine has been shown to promote faster simple reaction time, task switching, sustained attention, faster numeric working memory reaction time and improved sentence verification accuracy' with all of the accompanying peer-reviewed sources. Reflecktor (talk) 19:00, 13 May 2023 (UTC) Fourth statement by moderator (Theanine)It also appears that the reason for the disagreement is a question about whether that sentence is supported by medically reliable sources. So my first question is whether that is the main dispute, and whether there are any other content issues. My second question is whether this is a dispute about the reliability of sources. If so, we will ask at the reliable source noticeboard whether the sourcing is sufficient. If the editors agree with my assessment of what the issues are, then I will post an inquiry at the Reliable Source Noticeboard and wait for their opinion. If there are any other issues, we will discuss them here. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:30, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Fourth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Yes, the highlighted sentence is problematic because 1) each topic of the 5-part claim is based on outdated primary research, 2) it addresses the combination of effects by caffeine and theanine, and therefore cannot represent an effect by theanine alone, and 3) it is not consistent with the conclusions of a more recent review. Please state these factors in your question to WP:RSN. There are no other disputed content issues. Concerning your question for RSN:
Fourth statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)Yes, the issue is the reliability of the sources of the highlighted sentence, but also about the text which Zefr wishes to replace it with and the source he is using to cite for it. The review he cites has been misinterpreted by said user. Reflecktor (talk) 06:55, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Fifth statement by moderator (Theanine)I will ask at least one more time. Is the article content issue about the sentence quoted above? Now I am confused about the sourcing of that sentence. Can someone explain to me? The sentence has a footnote that appears to be number 38, which in turn refers to footnotes 31 through 37. Is a source combining the analysis of the seven sources, which is secondary sourcing, which is good? Or are we combining the analysis of the seven sources, which is synthesis having the nature of original research? I will ask each editor to explain again, in one paragraph, why the questioned sentence should stay in the article, or why the questioned sentence should be removed. Are there any other content issues? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Use of the 7 separate primary sources to support the disputed sentence is conspicuous WP:SYNTH by the editor who put it there. Take the view of a common, non-science, tea-drinking user of Wikipedia reading that sentence and being led to a list of 7 individual primary research sources, each of which refers to the combined effects of theanine and caffeine. What would she derive from that information concerning an individual effect of theanine and list of sources, which would all have to be read in an attempt to understand content-sources? That is unencyclopedic. That is why we require a MEDRS-quality review to summarize for the reader what the best primary sources say. The best and only review we have provides analyses which lead to the conclusion "There is no evidence that theanine in isolation affects reaction time, alertness, attention or memory." Zefr (talk) 16:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Fifth statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)Robert, I wouldn't at all agree that "there is no evidence that theanine in isolation affects reaction time, alertness, attention or memory". The evidence that Zefr provides for his proposal to introduce this is a systematic review which does not state this, Zefr has completely misinterpreted the content of the source, as no such statement is found there. As such this proposed introduction is a case of WP:OR. Reflecktor (talk) 17:31, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statement by moderator (Theanine)It appears that User:Zefr and I posted at the same time, a quasi-edit-conflict. Can we agree that: "There is no evidence that theanine in isolation affects reaction time, alertness, attention or memory."? Robert McClenon (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Sixth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Sixth statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)Seventh statement by moderator (Theanine)We should be careful that any statements about caffeine and theanine are attributed to medically reliable sources that refer to caffeine and theanine. We should be careful that any statements about theanine without caffeine are attributed to medically reliable sources that refer to theanine. Now I am asking User:Zefr and User:Reflecktor to discuss, back-and-forth, how to word a statement that they can agree on. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:35, 15 May 2023 (UTC) Discussion between editors (Theanine)A compromise solution is to eliminate the disputed sentence and its 7 primary sources altogether, as I recommended with this edit on 29 April. We do not need to replace it with anything. Just leave it blank. Let's make this easy for the common Wikipedia user looking for information on the possible effects of theanine alone: the Theanine article section on Research on supplement use would state this only, as it exists now: "A 2020 systematic review concluded that L-theanine supplementation between 200 and 400 mg per day may help reduce stress and anxiety in people with acute stress, but there was insufficient evidence for treatment of chronic stress." - cited to PMID 31758301. That is a review source that focused on the effects of theanine alone, and came to a succinct conclusion. In the absence of any effort by the opposing editor to compose or revise a summary sentence using the Camfield review, it may be best to just use the statement by itself from the 2020 review. Zefr (talk) 20:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Eighth statement by moderator (Theanine)We tried back-and-forth discussion, and it did not make any progress. So we will resume the question-and-answer mode. There has been edit-warring. I will ask you to read the usual rules one more time. What part of the instruction not to edit the article, which was rule A4, didn't you understand? Also, do not forum shop, and canvassing for support from other editors is either forum shopping or canvassing. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2023 (UTC) I don't want to fail this dispute resolution. You don't want me to fail this dispute resolution either, because a common result of a failed dispute resolution is that it is reported at WP:ANI, and then the editors who caused the dispute resolution to fail are topic-banned. So don't make me fail this dispute. I will be inviting editors who have commented on or edited the article to take part in this discussion. It appears that the main issue has to do with the medical reliability of sources. Will each editor please list all of the sources that they have any questions about. We will then request opinions from the Reliable Source Noticeboard. Also, will each editor please state what they want the disputed portion of the article to say. Once again, do not provide reasons for what you want, except for questions about the reliability of sources, which we will deal with separately. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:35, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Eighth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Please proceed with RSN as extensively discussed from the start of this DR, specifically in my statement 4. The disputed sentence and its 7 primary sources should be deleted, as was done today by a neutral editor (reverted again). I have not been part of edit-warring or canvassing on the content of the disputed sentence. My recent edits made at the theanine article were not about this disputed content, but were made to eliminate poorly-sourced misinformation on a different topic. Zefr (talk) 23:46, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Eighth statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)
Theanine - second comment by Invasive SpicesI agree that the participants should not edit war parallel to this DR. That and the CANVAS at WT:MED make it hard to use DR. Reflecktor: You are – again – posting these very well regarded PRIMARYs without WP:SECONDARY. I – again – support this but you should provide the SECONDARYs. Experience tells me that won't solve the problem, but it will convince other editors such as Bon Courage and will accelerate RSN if this goes to RSN. Bon Courage was wrong to call these crappy but few users will verify for themselves. (Tangentially, User:Bon courage/Crying "MEDRS!" is funny because I agree, but it seems especially written for someone…who is not Reflecktor.) Invasive Spices (talk) 16:36, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Ninth statement by moderator (Theanine)I have posted an inquiry to the Reliable Source Noticeboard about the sentence in question. Are there any other issues, or should we wait for a response from RSN? Robert McClenon (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2023 (UTC) Ninth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Ninth statement by Reflecktor (Theanine)This secondary source states that in isolation theanine "has little effect on attention switching accuracy in the first hour and only marginal effects on accuracy in the second hour" and that when combined with caffeine, it was "found to induce increases in attention switching accuracy during both the first and second hours postdose of small-moderate effect size". Reflecktor (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Tenth statement by moderator (Theanine)Please see the response from the Reliable Source Noticeboard. The sentence in question was seen as being supported only by primary sources and not by medically reliable secondary sources. Does this resolve this article content issue, or are there any other issues that need to be addressed? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:59, 20 May 2023 (UTC) Tenth statements by Zefr (Theanine)Dispute resolved and I am finished here. Thanks for your work, Robert.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview The A-10 article has a paragraph that I believe is basically entirely flawed. It presents vague, cherry picked misinformation taken out of context, as well paraphrasing that, as far as I can tell, misrepresents the information in the source. I have brought up these concerns on the talk page, I have made three very modest attempts to correct some of the issues I have with paragraph. These have all been reverted. Sometimes vague justifications have been given for parts of the reverts, others have been done with no justification other than reverting to the old status quo with no justification. The editors that have reverted all changes refuse to justify or even discuss their positions, reverting any changes, only making ominous remarks. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk:Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II#collateral_damage_problem How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? There seems to be an impasse. Communications... well, I'd say they've broken down, but they never existed in the first place. Bringing this dispute to a larger audience may help the consensus building process or somehow foster communication between the parties of the dispute. Summary of dispute by PbrittiI reverted a couple times after the initial edit(s) were reverted because it was obvious that the there was disagreement on the talk page regarding the content before my involvement. I asked Fanccr to explain their edits more succinctly and clearly and to refrain from continuing what was becoming an edit war. They did not do those things. This isn't a dispute of content for me, as I can't even figure out what Fanccr is trying to say in both their article edits and talk page posts. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by HohumPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
As far as I can see, I haven't reverted Fanccr. I gave advice that they need to make concrete edit suggestions, not ask rhetorical questions and make accusations. I have no significant opinion on the content changes, other than that need to follow wikipedia policies. Bringing the issue to the aircraft or military history wikiprojects attention might have been move useful than here. (Hohum @) 18:01, 22 May 2023 (UTC) Summary of dispute by ZLEAPlease keep it brief - less than 2000 characters if possible, it helps us help you quicker.
I had reverted Fanccr because they removed the sourced information before a consensus could be established. Fanccr was right to bring up their concerns on the talk page, but when they didn’t get their way, they chose to start an edit war. Furthermore, Fanccr has failed to provide a convincing argument or even alternative sources to back up their claims that the information in question is “cherry picked misinformation taken out of context”, having only presented a few rhetorical questions, which they later answered with original research. - ZLEA T\C 19:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved
Dispute overview The dispute is over the images that were discovered on a vase in the burnt city. A month ago, after long discussions, we agreed on how to narrate this issue on the animation page based on the sources. After a month, one of the involved users deleted the article without a new discussion and agreement on the excuse that the text was too long. I could not satisfy him by summarizing the text and an editorial war occurred. The sources clearly say so in this case: According to historian Richard Foltz, this animated vase, made in Iran, is perhaps the world's first example of animation.[1] .The animation historian Giannalberto Bendazzi wrote that prototypes like this vase are not animation, but rather instead "forerunners." because On this goblet, the images show movement in an intricate way that is an unprecedented discovery. [2] Mr. Giannalberto Bendazzi is one of the most famous scientists in the history of animation. Why shouldn't his opinion on this be covered on Wikipedia? Joortje1 and SilverLocust do not have any convincing reason to delete Mr. Giannalberto Bendazzi's comments. Not only the comments of Mr. Richard Foltz, who is a historian, are deleted, but the expert comments of Mr. Giannalberto Bendazzi are also deleted. This has no justification, it is just a matter of taste. The same problems exist in the Early history of animation article. which has been discussed at length How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? I think you should check what the authoritative sources say and quote them in the article. My suggested text to cover this topic: An animated vase, made in eastern Iran in the late third millennium BCE, is possibly the worlds earliest example of animation or the forerunner in this field. when it is spun, the gazelle appears to leap.

Have you discussed this on a talk page? Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already. Location of dispute Users involved Dispute overview I edited the page to include information about Sam Altman's 3x participation in the Bilderberg group, and it was quickly reverted by Hipal. When I asked about it on the talk page, he accused me of self-promotion. I'm not affiliated with Altman or the Bilderberg Group and the language I used in my edit was neutral. Sam Altman's Bilderberg membership is relevant, is supported by external references, and Bilderberg membership is included in other BLP articles. I don't think it's fair that he can claim my edit is "most definitely self-promotion by Bilderberg Group" with impunity and use it as an excuse to power trip. I also noticed in the edit history for this page that Hipal had been reverting other users' edits. At the time I fixed it, the page stated incorrectly that "OpenAI was founded as a capped-profit company", something directly contradicted by the source (which is a blog from when OpenAI was founded, stating it is a non-profit in the first line). Hipal had been reverting two other users' attempts to correct this sentence citing "no ref indicated", "needs review to meet independent sources". I corrected the sentence myself and added an extra source (which should negate the reason he reverted the other edits), and Hipal swiftly responded by deleting the entire sentence, commenting "trim - this article is about the person". This just seems spiteful considering he had recently acted twice before (including less than 24h ago...) to preserve the sentence, while it was objectively false no less. His short response + bizarre accusations + reverts quickly cut off opportunity for discussion and I don't think he's being sincere, so I came here. How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here? Talk:Sam_Altman#Bilderberg_Group_membership How do you think we can help resolve the dispute? You could help by providing a third party perspective and by recommending persisting my edits. I don't think Hipal is acting in good faith but I think he would likely defer to an external authority since he seems to be a long-time editor. I mostly just want my edits to stick.
