Purpose of this noticeboard		Guide to this noticeboard
This noticeboard is an attempt to better organise the Wikipedia dispute resolution process. Its aim is to resolve content disputes. In the case where disputes are outside of this noticeboard's scope, users will be directed to the most appropriate DR forum. As discussions are often begun on inappropriate forums, e.g. Admin Noticeboard/Incidents, this forum is designed to better assist users in receiving the specific support they need. Discussions on this page should be focused on the issues brought here. Issues should be raised in a concise, calm, and civilized manner. It is not a new forum to list "beefs" about another editor. Off-topic or non-productive discussions can be closed after due warning, as the board is designed to diffuse disputes, not escalate them. DRN is open to comments and assistance by all. It is also monitored by mediators/clerks who can assist in inquiries and ensure that discussions don't get out of hand. They can also direct users to the best area for resolving their disputes, if a quick resolution here is not viable. Being a "clerk" on this page is not formal in any respect; the user should merely be able to demonstrate some ability or past experience in dispute resolution in order to assist in the smooth flow of the noticeboard.		Shortcut WP:DRN This noticeboard is for resolving Wikipedia content disputes. In cases where the dispute is beyond the scope of this noticeboard, users will be directed to the best forum, such as request for comment, conduct RFC, mediation. Though conduct issues sometimes arise in the course of content disputes, this noticeboard is not for resolving conflicts which are primarily conduct disputes. This is not the place to discuss disputes that are already under discussions in other forums. This noticeboard is not for disputes which have been carried out only through edit summaries or which have not received substantial discussion on a talk page. Please keep discussions on this page civilized, present the issues in a concise and calm manner, and try to present a neutral view of the issues at hand. Issues that go off topic or become hostile may be refactored or closed after warning. This noticeboard is designed to diffuse disputes, not worsen them. You must inform other editors who are mentioned in a posting. When posting, please sign and date all contributions, using four tilde characters "`~~~~`", which is translated into a signature and a time stamp automatically. Please only add a section using the button below, as there is a small form to fill out with this page in order to help us get an understanding of the issues. Please do not add a section manually. There is an IRC channel for support on posting here, which is located at #wikipedia-disputes When closing, please put `{{DRN archive top\|<reason for closure>}}` at the top and `{{DRN archive bottom}}` at the bottom. Please also remove the HTML comment at the top that says `<!-- [[User:DoNotArchiveUntil]] TT:TT, DD Month YYYY (UTC) -->` so that the thread can be archived automatically.
