Abstract (please use no less than 300 words to describe your proposal)
We will be addressing the history of dispute resolution on Wikipedia, and present the results of the Wikipedia Dispute resolution survey. We will take attendees through the various forums of dispute resolution, and what roles dispute resolution volunteers play. We would discuss problems that have been raised in the survey and get ideas on ways to move forward. We would also have a workshop, where a few examples of disputes would be presented, have the audience give ideas on how they'd resolve it, then discuss some key principles to use when encountering a dispute on Wikipedia. The main aim of this presentation is to increase awareness of dispute resolution on Wikipedia, and empower users with basic tools to be able to handle disputes in a better way.

A full plan of the presentation can be provided to the organisers on request, there is just a brief outline here.
