Shortcut: COM:DISPUTE

Sometimes disputes (disagreements) arise between users and then dispute resolution is necessary.

• Talk to the user directly. Use talk pages, be civil, polite and assume good faith if possible.
• Consider asking other users for advice (not intervention) on how to handle the dispute.
• Try to find creative solutions or compromises that can satisfy everyone. Make sure you understand Commons' policies and guidelines yourself, and consider whether the other person may be right.

• If necessary go to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems.
• If it's a substantial content issue that has a wider impact, consider Commons:Village pump (or other language equivalents) to settle the content issue (unless a deletion request or category discussion would be more appropriate).
