Dispute overview
Section "Outremer" fails to give an explanation for the article's title ("Crusader states" instead of "Outremer"). The same section does not clarify the relevance of the term "Franks" in the article's context. Borsoka (talk) 03:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Summary of dispute by Norfolkbigfish
This is not a single dispute, and possibly a dispute at all. There are two questions that if the sourcing is respected could be dealt with on the Talk page or at the very worst through two RFCs.
The two points of contention are: 1) Whether the term used as the article's name, e.g. Crusader states'‘, is misleading, and therefore that should be mentioned in the article. 2) The nomenclature of the name most used as a collective noun for the incomers to the Holy Land that the article discusses e.g. Frank.
Crusader states/Outremer
On WP the name of the article(s) has already been discussed. It was successfully proposed that the Outremer article be merged with Crusader states at Talk:Crusader_states/Archive_1#Merge_from_Outremer. The consensus was against moving Crusader States back to Outremer with this debate Talk:Crusader_states/Archive_1#Requested_move_10_March_2020. There is no question that both descriptors satisfy WP:COMMONNAME. There is no doubt that academics use both terms. For example, Tyerman in God’s War uses Outremer 275 times and Crusader states 15. Barber in a work called The Crusader States uses Outremer 17 times and Crusader States 148 times. That said historians do not agree whether these terms are accurate. Professor Christopher MacEvitt, Faculty Director at Dartmouth (https://faculty-directory.dartmouth.edu/christopher-macevitt ) among a general critique of the usage of the term crusader states published a paper What was Crusader about the Crusader States? ( Al-Masāq, xxx (2018), pp. 317–30). A response is cited in the article in by Andrew D Buck, formerly of Queen Mary University (https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Andrew-D-Buck-2123225758 ) and now a specialist at University College, Dublin. Academics do not agree on this, and it is clear there is no consensus among them.
For the lay WP reader this is probably confusing, and the casual use of these terms is misleading, it implies a certainty that does not exist. The article deals with this by using the passage cited in the article by Dr Allan Murray of the University of Leeds ( https://ahc.leeds.ac.uk/history/staff/1010/dr-alan-v-murray ): An alternative name for the four Frankish principalities in modern historical writing is the “Crusader States.” Although common, this term is less accurate, since after around 1130 extremely few of their Frankish inhabitants were actually crusaders, in the sense of people who had taken a vow to go on crusade. Thomas Asbridge, reader in medieval history at Queen Mary University ( https://www.qmul.ac.uk/history/people//academic-staff/profiles/asbridgetom.html ) cited in support of this writes The term ‘crusader states’ is somewhat misleading, as it gives the impression that these settlements were exclusively populated by crusaders and that their history might be interpreted as an example of ongoing crusading activity. he goes onto acknowledge The issue of the continued influence of crusading ideology over the history of the Latin East is a more vexed question. ' he then refers to a Riley-Smith article, but the work of MacEvitt and Buck is in the same area.(page 115 and page 698 note 49)
WP:COMMONSENSE would indicate that the article should use a title that is readily understood, but where that title could be misleading, contested or not completely accurate it should be mentioned. The article does this in the lead to explain the Outremer redirect and in the body for sourcing and expansion. There may be copy editing required, but no need for tagging or substantive change.
Franks
The chronology and etymology of the term is clear. Franks were a Germanic tribe that invaded Western Europe between the 8th and 10th centuries. These became known in the Eastern Roman Empire by the Greek Frangoi and later the Arabic al-Ifranj. Overtime, in the East the term became used for all Westerners. When the First Crusade arrived, chroniclers used the Latin variant Franci, both for subjects of the king of France and for all the crusaders. It is likely that this reflects actual linguistic usage and the adoption of the term by the Roman Catholic and predominantly French speaking incomers, as Murray again puts it, sourced in the article to pages 297 to 298. The term Franks is widely used today by academic and popular historians for all the crusaders, the immigrants that followed from western Europe and their descendants in the crusader states. Cobb is his work cited in the article uses the term 740 times. It is right the term is explained for lay readers, particularly considering the this was a result of self-identification of a people the article is about. Murray again summarises well: However, it is also used to refer to all members of the crusader armies, irrespective of nationality or origins, particularly with reference to the later stages of the crusade and the beginning of the Latin settlement in Syria and Palestine. It seems likely that the chronicles, some of which were composed by eyewitnesses, reflect actual linguistic usage; having become familiar with Byzantine and Arabic terms for “Franks” in the course of the crusade, the crusaders themselves and, increasingly, their descendants who remained in the East adopted the name as a convenient self-designation to reflect the realities of life in a region where their own diverse origins were far less important than the crucial social and legal distinctions between dominant Latin Westerners on the one hand and the various native peoples on the other. The Arabic, Syriac, and Armenian sources that touch on events in Outremer generally refer to its Latin Christian inhabitants as Franks in their own languages.
General
There has been repeated and frequent tag bombing of the first paragraph in Crusader_states#Outremer and circular discussions at Talk:Crusader_states:
- The chronicles of the First Crusade sometimes used Franci, both for subjects of the king of France and for all the crusaders. It is likely that this reflects actual linguistic usage and the adoption of the term by the Roman Catholic and predominantly French speaking incomers. was tagged clarify with the reason We are informed that the participants of the First Crusade were called Franci. Why is this relevant in the article's context? What was the ethnonym of the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the crusader states? despite the academic consensus Murray was cited as supporting on pages 470 to 471 in the work in Crusader_states#Bibliography and the article requiring some explanation of an academic term.
- Modern scholars commonly use the term Franks for the crusaders, was tagged dubious with the reason Can you refer to a modern scholar who use the ethnonym "Franks" when referring to King Sigurd the Crusader of Norway, King Conrad III of Germany or King Andrew II of Hungary? . We are debating a collective noun, the reason here is a redundant argument. Murray’s citation to pages 297 to 298 covers this.
- Some historians consider the use of Crusader states as misleading because few Franks were crusaders. In the Middle Ages the states were often also collectively known as Syria or Syrie was tagged clarify with the reason If crusader states is a misleading term, why do we use it? Perhaps the article should move to have a neutral name. despite the rationale explained above.
Summary
The substantive information in the paragraph is supported by WP:RS. Crusader States is a contested term in academic circles, but WP:COMMONNAME for WP. Franks is a collective noun in common usage for all the Roman Catholic, predominantly French/Latin speaking incomers resident in the Latin East irrespective of their origin. The WP:COMMONSENSE resolution to this dispute is to accept this as the consensus among academics and remove all the tagging.Norfolkbigfish (talk) 13:47, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by Borsoka
The above summary does not reflect (and does not address) my concerns. 1. The article (not the sources cited in the article) fails to give an explanation for the article's title ("Crusader states" instead of "Outremer"), although it states that "Crusader states" is a misleading term. 2. The article (not the sources cited in the article) fails to explain the relevance of the term "Franks" in the article's context. What is important in the article's context is that the European settlers and their descendants in Outremer were called Francs and now are mentioned as Franks - all other information is irrelevant.

Crusader states discussion
Hello, I will be the volunteer to help resolve this dispute. Is there anything additional that needs to be said before we continue? BJackJS talk 21:46, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hello BJackJS I don't think so, certainly not from me. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 23:17, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for volunteering. My summary above reflects my concerns, I do not want to expand it. Borsoka (talk) 02:34, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
Alright then, I understand that User:Borsoka's concerns are the articles justification for the name 'Crusader states' and does not explain the term 'Franks' usage. I would be inclined to agree that an explanation of the term Outremer should be there, especially because of "The use of the description Crusader states can be misleading".
- How about the explanation of the term Outremer: the lands on the far side of the Mediterranean Sea, seen from the perspective of Western Christians or some such variant. It is what Murray uses. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 18:41, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- This is not an explanation for the choice of the article's name. Borsoka (talk) 00:40, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- It was an attempt to answer BJackJS's comment I would be inclined to agree that an explanation of the term Outremer should be there. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 08:30, 5 December 2020 (UTC) WP:COMMONNAME applies, a quick Google on the term gives c323,000 hits. It is also misleading, cited to academics working in the area. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 09:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- And? My concerns are not addressed. Are our readers required to read WP policies, closed RfCs and do our homework to explain the article's title if the article emphasizes that it is misleading? Borsoka (talk) 01:04, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- What name do you suggest, and what would you source it to? The fact remains that crusader states is a very common, probably the most common term, in general usage but academics consider it misleading, to the point of writing papers discussing the name. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 11:19, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Could you please read my and BJackJS's comments more carefully? What is needed: a short explanation based on at least one reliable source explaining why is the article is titled "Crusader states" instead of "Outremer". Borsoka (talk) 12:00, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I believe BJackJS was referring to a description of Outremer. I don't agree an explanation is necessary, and it is clear that neither do any of the works used as sources in the article. In order that this moves forward, why don't you draft an explanation and source it? Norfolkbigfish (talk) 12:19, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- If you can only verify the alternative name, Outremer, why do not you move the article from Crusader states to Outremer? Alternatively, you could refer to Asbridge (who is cited in the article). Borsoka (talk) 12:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- It seems my previous question has been missed. In order that this moves forward, why don't you draft an explanation and source it? Norfolkbigfish (talk) 12:48, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- I've thought it is your turn and you want to fix the problem. A week ago, I drafted a text ([1]) that you deleted without any actual explanation ([2]). All the same, I drafted a new text ([3]). Borsoka (talk) 18:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Crusaders were a minority, of a minority e.g. the Franks were a minority already, and crusaders were a minority within that. Considering Crusaders as part of the total populaton obscures this point. Otherwise, if it works for you there would seem to be no problem. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Crusaders were a minority population within a minority Frankish population from around 1130. Do you think the "Crusader states" is not a misleading term before that date? Could you refer to a reliable source suggesting it? Borsoka (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- uninvolved editor - Is this actually a WP:COMMONNAME issue? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 13:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 13:50, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- No. Borsoka (talk) 14:09, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Me again. Would the post 1204 political entities on/around former Byzantine soil all be counted, without dissent, as part of "Outremer" by modern sources? Same question for those lands with regard to "Crusader States"? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 16:52, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- This is exactly the question that I decided not to raise weeks ago. :) For the time being, the article is obviously dedicated to the four states in Syria and Palestine (even Cyprus is ignored). Althogh the scope is limited, the article contains dozens (or hundreds) of sentences that present misinterpreted info from scholarly books or that are out of context. I think the article should be improved while its scope is limited and after it reaches the level of a GA, its name or its possible expansion could be discussed. Borsoka (talk) 17:55, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Which ignores the fact that the article was already at GA, at the point you got involved.Norfolkbigfish (talk) 20:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes it was listed among the GAs, but it never reached the level of a GA ([4]). Borsoka (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Simple answer to your question Dweller is that the Frankokratia is not generally considered as part of Outremer. Similarly, it would be contested to include them under the umbrella of Crusader States. Some academics even challenge the inclusion of the four polities in the Levant and I have seen an argument made that only France under St Louis can be considered as fitting the description. It is clear that there is no consensus on the term. It is misleading because politically and organisationally they were only states with an active significant Catholic crusader population (under an unfulfilled oaths) for a tiny duration. For the majority of their existance their politics were secular and parochial. Those academics in favour look at the states' culture, art, literature, songs etc as Buck puts very well. That is difficult for the lay reader to understand and if this article followed that approach it would look very different, memoralisation would be the focus rather than chronology and politics. There is a space for that article but it is not this one, and it not what the lay reader would expect. It is still down to WP:COMMONNAME, the expectation is that the article is about the medieval Frankish incursion into Middle East. It is not a stretched definition that could include Malta in late 18th century. Although, I believe there is an argument in favour of that second article as well. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 12:39, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Our usual method for dealing with things that are contentious is to go with the COMMONNME approach but then include cited material that critiques it and defends it. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 12:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Pretty much what the article is doing. Asbridge for 'misleading', Buck for culture. Norfolkbigfish (talk) 13:22, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Frankokratia is not generally considered as part of Outremer, but the Frankish states on the ruins of the Byzantine Empire are often listed among the crusader states. However, I suggest that we should accept the status quo and try to improve the article within its present scope. Whether its name properly reflects its subject (the four Frankish realms in Syria and Palestine) could be discussed later. Borsoka (talk) 14:28, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Dispute overview
A discussion on Indonesia's Modern era section has been under discussion for weeks. I was trying to update the content on the section by adding links to notable events, but over time, my improvements were rejected (possibly because of content ownership.
How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here?
Talk:Indonesia#WP:OWN_on_this_article
How do you think we can help resolve the dispute?
Please help the discussion reach a consensus since this seems to have gone for quite some time, and neutral comments from experienced editors might be useful whether my edits are improvement or not.
Summary of dispute by AdaCiccone
My position on this:
- Sub-articles are created for a reason. Editors should utilise them to expand further what's already on the main article. Not literally every information should be put on the main.
- Information on a sub is not in any way less valuable or visible than those on the main.
- User:NouVa has asked several times about the number of post-2004 events (and how notable they are), to which I have responded several times that that is not the point here. My point is similar with other editors involved here, that if they were to be included, they have to be seen within the lens of the entire history of Indonesia.
It's better to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to recent events. If their impact took effect in the near future in a "watershed moment" way, then I believe few would have problem with such information (the impact) being on the main. AdaCiccone (talk) 03:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by Juxlos
I'm not entirely sure why NouVa is still claiming content ownership when a good amount of users have explained how his edits constitutes RECENTISM and thinks that this is DRN material. Regardless, the current dispute is regarding his intention to present events that other editors consider insufficiently notable for inclusion in a top-level article.
Austronesier I think elaborates the contents of the "dispute" sufficiently - primarily, an entire paragraph's worth of a number of events which are about a year old in the "History" section (admittedly "Modern history" subsection), and none of them are even about the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. It is plainly absurd to present a series of protests with none or single digit deaths and no ensuing changes to laws or political structures with equal or more prominence with events that still have consequences fifty years ahead.
I would also point out that NouVa has clearly ignored the consensus of existing editors in order to push his version of the article - and yet still claiming an ownership bias. Juxlos (talk) 22:33, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by CMD
Summary of dispute by Austronesier
In a nutshell: the "History" section of Indonesia gives a brief condensed summary of Indonesian history, which amounts to ca. 900 words of text (including image captions) in the "stable" version. Even the most traumatic events such as the mass killings of 1965-66 are given very dense space ("The army, led by Major General Suharto, countered by instigating a violent anti-communist purge that killed between 500,000 and one million people" – that's all). For detailed information, readers are referred to History of Indonesia and further subpages. User:NouVa wants to expand Indonesia#History with information of rather recent events, some of which are notable news which made it to international headlines (e.g. mass demonstrations after the two inaugurations of the current president Joko Widodo, or after some of his controversial policy decisions), but which will have zero impact on the timeline of Indonesian history. The only apparent reason to give these events coverage in this brief overview is that they were recent. So from my perspective this is about WP:DUE vs. WP:recentism. Ironically, WP:OWN is cited. I have made very few edits to Indonesia. I just happen to disagree with User:NouVa's approach of WP:recentism, which I have voiced in the talk page.
FWIW, no one opposes the inclusion of events post-2004 (the year of the Aceh tsunami), but whatever is inserted there, should not give undue weight to events of secondary importance, if weighed against the other content of this 900-word summary section. –Austronesier (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Not international headlines, international third-page news.Juxlos (talk) 22:34, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Summary of dispute by NouVa
My main concern when filing this case is that my content additions about several major riots, and massive unrest through links and refs to the respective articles (which have significant coverage on the mainstream news outlets WP:SIGCOV) are well deserved to be put in the Indonesia article which the latest info of "Modern era" is about 2004 event, while some editors simply removed them without any effort to preserve some points. At the same time, I strongly disagree about wp:Recentism accusations on my edits because the current content of Modern era section is outdated; Also, Recentism does not mean such edits should immediately be removed. Otherwise, do @Juxlos: thinks that OLDERISM (putting 14 years old event) is better info to be put for "Modern era" of a country having a number of significant events in the last decade?
For @Juxlos: Content Ownership definition is the behaviour to prevent/control any changes or any contributions to article, while what I've done is adding some notable contents to improve it, and not my intention to remove any contribution. Addition;
@Juxlos: If you doubt about much control of the content (ownership) I give you this link to show how an editor made more than 40 edits in same article only in last 2 months.
@Austronesier: If you mind about 'more-or-less 900 words'; you can paraphrase the text while not completely removing the points.
My hope for moderator is to consider whether edits like this or this addition {of 3-7 sentences} is deserved to be add on the article, based on (WP:GNG) Notability guideline. Actually, those additions are improving the content and are not violating any fundamental principles, nor deserved to be reverted. (NouVa (talk) 16:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC))
Indonesia discussion
First statement by moderator (Indonesia)
The first concern is to focus what the disagreement is about, and so decide whether moderated discussion leading to compromise is the way to resolve the dispute. An alternative might be a Request for Comments. Please read and follow the rules. I will restate some of the rules. Be civil and concise. In particular, overly long statements do not clarify the issues, even if they enable the editor making the statement to feel better. Comment on content, not on contributors. The purpose of this dispute resolution is to improve the article.
Do not reply to each other in the space for statements. Your statements should be addressed to me and to the community. If you want to reply to each other, do it in the space for back-and-forth discussion, and we can ignore the back-and-forth.
Each editor is asked to make a one-paragraph statement as to what they want changed in the article, or left the same if someone else wants to change it. We can address why in the next round. If at least two editors want to engage in moderated discussion, we will have moderated discussion. If you want to have an RFC, then say so. Please provide a one-paragraph statement.

Statement by Austronesier: I support an RfC. It will bring the wider community attention necessary to reach a consensus. –Austronesier (talk) 16:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Statement by Juxlos: I'm not certain what an RfC would bring here. There is already a clear consensus against the edits, and even a DRN already feels like an attempt to prolong the dispute to force a single editor's viewpoint. NouVa is trying to use new article GNG criteria in order to include low-importance content in a top-level article. Regardless, go ahead. Juxlos (talk) 23:47, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Statement by AdaCiccone: I don't mind an RfC but I don't think it would be of much of a solution. Nevertheless, go ahead. AdaCiccone (talk) 00:58, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Statement by Chipmunkdavis: I do not believe an RfC would be a productive use of time. There is a consensus against the proposed edits as it stands, with inputs from a number of editors. An RfC cannot solve wp:main article fixation. CMD (talk) 12:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Statement by NouVa: RFC is not necessary for this case, for me, just need reasonable judgement from the experienced editors whether my content edits deserved to be added on the article based on the existing rules... /NouVa (talk) 14:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)/
Second statement by moderator
One editor supports an RFC. Two other editors comment on whether there should be an RFC. Maybe I wasn't clear in my question. Please make a one-paragraph statement as to what the content issue is. What do you want changed, or left the same? An RFC asks a question about whether to make some change to the article. Is there a disagreement about what should be said in the lede of the article about the modern history of Indonesia? And is modern defined as post-independence?

If you want an RFC, what should the RFC ask? Robert McClenon (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Second statements by editors
Statement by Austronesier: The question is solely about the inclusion of material in the section Indonesia#History (which is a summary, complete with hatnote to the main article History of Indonesia). The inclusion in other articles (e.g. the "lede of the article about the modern history of Indonesia", which would be History of Indonesia or one of further subs) is not matter of the dispute. NouVa is informed about the existence of those other articles, but specifically wants include the material in the "History"-section of the general article Indonesia; failure to gain support so far from any other editor brought them to DRN. IMO, none of the material which NouVa wants to add is due for inclusion in the summary-style section Indonesia#History—which only gives a bird's-eye view of the milestones in Indonesian history. This is not because the material is recent (that's a red herring), but because it is of insufficient importance/impact. That said, an RfC would be simply stated: "Should information about [add list of concrete material that NouVa wants to include] be included in the section Indonesia#History?" Speaking for myself, I would gladly elicit input from other editors (beyond the range of page watchers of Indonesia) that see things differently than I do; that's how we create wide consensus. –Austronesier (talk) 08:52, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
Statement by NouVa: My simple question is - Do my edits violate any rule that deserve to be reverted? If not so, I don't think it is acceptable to remove them while there are editors trying to contribute and help the active progress of content article, rather than keep the current version.
Just perspective, If anyone will give any newer info than 2004 tsunami story, either events of post-2004 or news from 2010s decade - even 2020 pandemic related news - I would not have make the edits that being protested now. (NouVa (talk) 14:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC))
Statement by Juxlos: It does not matter that it does not violate any rules - adding the results of the 2018 Bogor regency election does not violate any rules, either, and the event is notable and happened within Indonesia, but we don't do that because it would be silly to include something so comparatively unimportant in the Indonesia article. Please do not keep shifting the argument as if we have been saying the events are not notable and ignoring literally every editor's statement saying that those belong on secondary articles. Juxlos (talk) 23:42, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Third statement by moderator (Indonesia)
I don't seem to have explained adequately what I am asking. What part of the article in particular is the issue about? Is it about the body of the article, or the lede section of the article? I am inferring that it is about whether to include particular modern events in the lede section. If you can't explain in one paragraph what part of the article you want changed, or left the same, we can't have an RFC, and we don't know what to compromise about.
One editor asks: "Do my edits violate any rule that deserve to be reverted? If not so, I don't think it is acceptable to remove them." The rule in question is probably the concept of due weight in the lede.
Maybe there is no point in my saying to read the rules, so maybe I need to provide the rules in your faces:
Here are the ground rules for any mediation that is conducted at DRN where the moderator specifies Rule A:
- Be civil and concise.
- Civility is required everywhere in Wikipedia and is essential in dispute resolution. Uncivil statements may be collapsed.
- Overly long statements do not clarify issues. (They may make the author feel better, but the objective is to discuss the article constructively.) Overly long statements may be collapsed, and the party may be told to summarize them. Read Too Long, Didn't Read, and don't write anything that is too long for other editors to read. If the moderator says to write one paragraph, that means one paragraph of reasonable length.
- Do not report any issues about the article or the editing of the article at any other noticeboards, such as WP:ANI or Arbitration Enforcement. Reporting any issue about the article at any other location is forum shopping, which is strongly discouraged. Any old discussions at any other noticeboards must be closed or suspended. If any new discussions are opened elsewhere while discussion is pending at DRN, the mediation at DRN will be failed.
- Comment on content, not contributors.
- The purpose of discussion is to improve the article, not to complain about other editors. (There may be a combination of content issues and conduct issues, but resolving the content issue often mitigates the conduct issue or permits it to subside.) Uncivil comments or comments about other editors may be suppressed.
- "Comment on content, not contributors" means that if you are asked to summarize what you want changed in the article, or left the same, it is not necessary or useful to name the other editors, but it may be important to identify the paragraphs or locations in the article. It isn't necessary to identify the other editors with whom you disagree.
- Discuss edits, not editors. This means the same as "Comment on content, not contributors". It is repeated because it needs repeating.
- Do not engage in back-and-forth discussion to statements by other editors; that is, do not reply to the comments of other editors. That has already been tried and has not resolved the content dispute (since talk page discussion is a precondition for discussion at DRN). Address your comments to the moderator and the community. Except in a section for back-and-forth discussion, replies to other editors or back-and-forth discussion may be collapsed by the moderator and may result in a rebuke.
- Do not edit the article while moderated discussion is in progress. If the article is edited by a party while discussion is pending at DRN, the mediation at DRN will be failed.
- If there has been edit-warring over versions of the article, the moderator will not select which version is the "right" version to be displayed during moderated discussion. Simply stop edit-warring. The purpose of moderated discussion is to select between versions of the article, and the moderator will not act as an arbitrator.
- Do not communicate with the moderator on his user talk page. This is seen by other editors as trying to run around them. If you have a question for the moderator, ask it at DRN.
- It would be better not to discuss the article on the article talk page or on user talk pages while moderated discussion is in progress, because discussion elsewhere than at DRN may be overlooked or ignored.
- The moderator may not have any background knowledge about the subject. It is the responsibility of the editors, who are familiar with the subject matter, to inform the moderator about the subject matter, just as the purpose of the article is to inform the readers about the subject matter.
- Be specific at DRN. Do not simply say that a section should be improved, but tell what improvement should be made. Do not simply say that "All viewpoints must be discussed", but identify the missing viewpoints. If you say that the article has BLP violations, specify how they can be corrected.
- The moderator will provide a section for back-and-forth comments. Keep your comments in that section, so that anyone else can ignore them. Comments in the back-and-forth section, like everywhere else, must be civil.
- Every participant is expected to check on the case at least every 48 hours and to answer questions within 48 hours.
What part of not editing the article wasn't clear? Do not edit the article while discussion is in progress.
Now: Will each editor please state, in one paragraph, what part of the article they either want changed or left the same? Robert McClenon (talk) 22:58, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Third statements by editors
Statement by AdaCiccone: The core of this dispute is about the inclusion of recent events one editor thinks is important but the other four (myself included) do not. It's not in the lead section, but a subsection (Modern era) in the 'History' section (which is two sections after the lead). I myself do not think a change is necessary. The current version is adequate already and should be left the same. AdaCiccone (talk) 03:00, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Back-and-forth discussion
It's not about subjective - one editor thinks is important but the others do not... - but it's about objective whether my previous content addition is deserved to be reverted while it's not violating any Wikipedia policies or guidelines, even link to main modern history article Post-Suharto era was reverted [5]. So the problem is whether 'personal' opinions about the importance, (by saying I myself do not think) which halt the progress of article or the rules of notability and significant coverage become the main concerns for the further improvement of the content. # NouVa (talk) 07:53, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Dispute overview
For a long while there was a loose formula for the opening paragraph for areas of London articles along the lines of: “X is an area of (compass-direction) London…”. This is an accepted standard and consensus reached by editors actively involved in the WikiProject London and had been for many years. About a year ago, a new editor took it upon themselves to inject some of their POV and mass change these opening paragraphs of these articles. Nobody really challenged them at the time (I was taking a break from Wikipedia editing at this time, otherwise I would have). I have returned recently to see the mess they created is still there, long after this user disappeared. I decided to try to change them back, but as soon as I did my edits were reverted? I decided to open a discussion about it to make people realise this is the previous standard (and also initially to try to improve further although this was shot down). However, users like Roger 8 Roger have prattled on about a load of nonsense and nothing has been done. All I am trying to do is to restore these articles to how they were before they were mass-edited based on POV.
How have you tried to resolve this dispute before coming here?
How do you think we can help resolve the dispute?
A thorough discussion is needed, especially bringing to light points made long ago that have been archived.

Summary of dispute by Lord Belbury
Not sure why my name is here, all I did was revert JustGravy when they started prematurely applying their desired outcome of the RFC to London articles citing the RFC as a reason for the edit (eg. [6]), and asked them to wait for the RFC to be closed. I'm not aware of the past disagreements over compass directions in London articles. --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Summary of dispute by TransporterMan
I have no dog in this hunt. I only performed some dispute resolution maintenance (noting a 3O removal and giving a bit of advice). I'm not a party to this dispute or discussion, will not be participating here, and do not need to be considered in any further procedures here at DRN. Also, I will not be acting as a DRN volunteer in this case. I would remind the filing party, however, that it is their obligation under the DRN rules to post a notice of this filing on each user's talk page. There's a template set out at the top of this page that can be used for that purpose. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:37, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I do not understand how Roger can even say there is no dispute? He is disputing the removal of "Greater" from "Greater London" and he is disputing that historic county information should not be placed in the lead for all London area articles. Even though this goes against what was previously agreed by many editors, and had been agreed for a while before he showed up to Wikipedia. Justgravy (talk) 21:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
