Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "Apple Computer's 1997 Financial Rescue".

Guide for participants If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form. What this noticeboard is: It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction. What this noticeboard is not: It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct. It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums. It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN. It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy. Things to remember: Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion. Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page. Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~". If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage. Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! --Guy Macon (talk) 05:22, 27 February 2013 (UTC) Hi! I am the dispute resolution volunteer who will be helping you to resolve this dispute. I noticed that you ignored the instructions to not discuss the dispute before a volunteer has opened the thread. Please don't do that. Your previous discussions on the article talk page have not resulted in agreement, so now it is time to try a more structured environment with rules to keep the process of resolving your dispute on track. Be patient; after all of the other parties have posted their opening comments, you will have your chance to respond. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC) Striking out DR/N volunteer comments This was innapropriate. Do not strike out other editor's comments unless you have been asked to do so by them.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:55, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Thanks for the message. If an error was made, please pardon it as I am still learning many of Wikipedia's community customs. Pdunbarny (talk) 13:21, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
