Thanks for weighing in on the discussion. I've been suspicious of some of the stuff presented in the Mystical Seven (Wesleyan) article. In particular, some of the edit wars on the page remind me of some of the controversy that happened earlier this year on Collegiate secret societies in North America, which resulted in the uncovering of a nest of sockpuppets. I hope that's not what is going on here; digging into the references can only help. Tjarrett ( talk) 21:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I do watch that drama board and from what I gather, such drama only occurs when one party in a dispute falls into one or more of these categories:
Can you expect such drama? In this case, it's a sockpuppet, so do expect such things (similar expectations exist, for example, on Israel-Palestine issues, Balkans issues or Irish issues). If you're "against" an editor that appears to be tendentious, you can expect a bit of drama, depending on how fast they discover these noticeboards.
However, for most cases, if the dispute involves one or more experienced users, the drama is much lessened, in my experience. However, occasionally one gets forum shoppers who can hop from noticeboard to noticeboard causing a bit of irritation.
I don't tend to assume it will happen ( WP:AGF) but I feel it helps if you don't try and make giant walls of posts as it seems imposing to others, or get a third opinion in fairly quickly. x42bn6 Talk Mess 18:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
