Statement of the dispute
[మార్చు]The discussion at Talk:Istrian exodus has degenerated and not for lack of competence from both sides. We cannot reach consensus, despite similarity in our views. The discussion has more specifically degenerated in the request from both parties to find sources citing exactly what is reported in the edit. I must confess that I dislike the manners of User:Direktor. All users disagreeing with his/her views are immediately qualified with not "egregious" qualifications. --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- However, the tone of debate (even in this RfC/U) used by User:Direktor speaks by itself. I have major respect for the skills and experience of User:Direktor but his seniority should not be - at any moment - a ground giving him right to speak in the terms he does with anyone disagreeing with him. This is a collaborative project. --Silvio1973 (talk) 09:17, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
Desired outcome
[మార్చు]The desired outcome is very simple: User:Direktor should have a more polite approach when dealing with other users and stop qualifying them with wording such as lier, nationalist, fascist, ignorant, faker and similar adjectives. Additionally I would like to understand why User:Direktor believes his/her sources are always more representative than the ones of the other users. Indeed, the most desired outcome for me it's to return to work on the article and close this issue once for all. --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Description
[మార్చు]There is major difficulty in reaching consensus over the lede of the article Istrian Exodus. Major disagreement exist on the sources to use and about the actual misrepresentation of aforementioned sources. A 3O and a DRN have not proven useful to clear the issue. User:Direktor also restrict the use of scholars based on their alleged nationality rather than on the Institution publishing, reviewing and editing the source. Full discussion can be seen at Talk:Istrian exodus, but indeed the discussion is now so torn out that it is difficult to realise where is the knot of the question. --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- An additional difficulty (and IMHO the main one) resides in the fact the User:Direktor concentrates enormously on the lede. This creates per se the potential for conflicts. Many times I insisted in the necessity to have in the lede only absolutely non-contested matter, my objective being to give to the article stability in the future. Indeed, my suggestion was at some point to leave things as they are, perhaps adding some numbers about the entity of the exodus. Later in the article, there is room to develop the arguments contained in all available reputable (albeit sometime in disagreement) sources. Trying to summarise in the lede any conclusion about the reasons about the exodus makes the discussion falling unavoidably in a trap. Unless, the intention is not to report in the lede opposite views, but for some reasons User:Direktor disagreed with this solution.
- The Istrian Exodus has been an event of large size, perhaps the exodus alterating the most the ethnic structure, amongst all movements of population in Western and Central Europe after WWII. Difficult - if not impossible - to arrive to make a summary in the lead about the reasons. For such articles we should avoid this temptation like the plague. --Silvio1973 (talk) 09:18, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

I have requested a 3O and obtained an asnwer on the 1st July 2013. The outcome was in principe favourable to my edit but consensus did not materialised. The subsequent discussion on the DRN was at some point abandoned by Direktor. The discussion continued (over 200 edits in total!) on the Talk Page of Istrian Exodus but we could not reach consensus. We were close to it but it did not work. --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC) All work has been now rolled back, as the two parties have not reached consensus. --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:11, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I, for myself, can certify that I attempted to resolve the dispute via the Wikipedia:3O mechanism. From what I can recall, the subject of these incidental procedings acted as if I had never intervened.

First of all, this is Silvio's attempt to solve a content dispute. He has invited User:Vituzzu here simply because he knows he doesn't like me :). This is also what is known as a "pre-emptive report": I have just warned Silvio1973 on his talk that he may be reported for disruption in violation of WP:ARBMAC. The entire exposition here is of course riddled with exaggerations, fabrications and manifestly dishonest claims (e.g. that of my supposedly abandoning this DRN thread). If I was less than polite, it was due to my outrage and frustration at the consistent academic dishonesty with which Silvio1973 bears himself, which the scientist in me can scarce believe. At no point did he acknowledge his behavior was improper or cease attempting to pull the same stunts. Indeed - he reported me :) essentially for objecting to them
As regards the Istrian exodus business, its a huge mess to read, but I believe any who take the time may well be surprised anyone has invested so much painstaking effort to unravel Silvio1973's fraudulent referencing and misrepresentation to try and arrive at a source-based lede. The user has no understanding of WP:SYNTH, has trouble with complex English forms, quotes references that have nothing to do with his text, those sources he does read he misrepresents in an incredibly biased manner (taking fragments from various sentences and piecing them together in such a way that entirely distorts the position of the author). He cherry-picks sentences without regard to their context; he attributes text to authors who did not write it; when I add text that is actually based directly on the ref, he demands the right to modify it in accordance with his personal views or else forbids its entry, he outright lies (for lack of a better term) and claims sources support him when, upon investigation, - they do not. He enters into these long monologues where he attempts to convince me of the validity of his own personal theories regarding these events, etc. All this is just childishly obvious and easily-demonstrable.
I could go on and on. Frankly its incredible. A nightmare for any Wikipedian. I probably should just have reverted and ignored the user after discovering the deception(s), or reported him for all this disruption, but I honestly thought we were slowly getting somewhere and decided to invest the time. My mistake.-- Director (talk) 15:01, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
