How are disputes and conflicts resolved on Wikipedia?

Disputes and conflicts on Wikipedia are typically resolved through a collaborative and community-driven process. The primary mechanism for addressing disagreements involves discussion on the respective article's talk page. Here, editors can present their viewpoints, provide supporting sources, and seek consensus on how to present information accurately and fairly. If discussions do not lead to a resolution, Wikipedia has several formal mechanisms to escalate conflicts. Mediation is one option, where experienced editors help facilitate a dialogue between the parties involved. If mediation is unsuccessful or not suitable, a request for formal arbitration can be submitted to the Arbitration Committee. This committee, composed of veteran Wikipedia editors, reviews cases of persistent conflict and provides binding resolutions. In addition to these processes, Wikipedia encourages editors to adhere to its core principles, including the policies of neutrality, verifiability, and assuming good faith. Promoting civil discourse is essential, and editors are encouraged to avoid personal attacks and to focus on content rather than on individuals.
