== Content disputes and consensus == | |||
A time may come when 2 or more editors engage in discourse over the content of an article on this project. Editors are to be aware that outside of project policies there exists no governing body (with a single exception, described below) that arbitrates content. '''This includes administrators'''. All disagreements over content, whether it be how content is displayed or what content gets to remain, must be resolved by consensus. | |||
A dispute is considered to begin ''de facto'' once an editor A introduces a change to an article and an editor B undoes it, either via the undo button or by editing the page manually. After that, the content should not be reintroduced without discussion (unless a project policy dictates otherwise). A dispute may also begin by an editor bringing up something on the article talk page and another editor expresses disagreement. Any editor, or administrator, may assist editors engaged in a dispute by providing their own opinion or - so long as they did not participate themselves - present their evaluation as to what the result of a discussion should be. | |||
Due to the small nature of the project, the [[Project:Site operator|site operator]] may at their sole and complete discretion exercise executive powers to arbitrate content (i.e they may make a binding ruling on what should happen in a dispute, regardless of consensus). The enacted result and rationale for using this power will be communicated clearly. If and when the project grows to a reasonable size, the hope is for this power to be phased out. | |||
