User:SebastianHelm/Philosophy

This page contains the resolution we agreed on at ANI#Suggestion for a resolution. It will have one subpage, User:SebastianHelm/Philosophy/watchlist, which will contain the articles I have been asked to watch. The word “you” is meant to include user:Keepcalmandchill and user:Teishin.


 * 1) The moment one of you realizes that both of you are working disharmoniously on the same article, you will enter the article link and a time stamp on User:SebastianHelm/Philosophy/watchlist. I will watch those pages for a while.
 * 2) Under certain conditions I can simply revert a post. I will do so without much deliberation, which means that none of these reverts should be construed as a reprimand. It will be just a quick measure to keep the discussion on focus. Conditions for my reversals:
 * 3) if my first impression is that a message may lack respect or consideration.
 * 4) if a message appears to veer off topic. (Note: After the agreement, I came up with the idea to replace the off topic text with a short note containing the diff showing the text and a link to this page, instead of reverting it altogether.)
 * 5) if I see what I believe to be an inadvertent mistake, such as “Hellenic” instead of “Hellenistic” I may correct it. The person writing the message should treat such a correction just as one would treat a bot's edit: If you disagree with it, simply revert it.
 * 6) If one of you adds a reference that can't be checked online, you will send me a picture of the page per mail.
 * 7) Per EdJohnston's suggestion, which he explained by the rationale “When deciding how Wikipedia should approach a topic, it is sometimes worth considering how tertiary sources organize their own material.”, we will use Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy as a common reference for a mutually agreed limited time.


 * Note: There was a related case, ANI/EW/Teishin_reported_by_User:Keepcalmandchill_(Result:_Both_warned), which concerned only one article, Hellenistic philosophy. The case we are trying to solve here has a wider scope, since the problems between the two editors extend to the whole topic of Hellenistic philosophy.
