Needs to include infighting (intra-group conflct). I think it is related to narcissism of small differences, Divide and rule. --Penbat (talk) 08:08, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposal for Edits (Moved from Team Conflict Talk Page)

Hi Karsegal. It is unclear as to why you have posted this here. Are you hoping to solicit feedback? If so, you should explain that to other editors (along with whatever contextualizing information might be relevant). Also, if feedback is your desire, it is often more manageable to keep a working draft on a sandbox page and then point editors toward that. Cheers Andrew (talk) 01:36, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, me and User:Seasaltpitachips/Seasaltpitachips are working on a project for our class in which we are supposed to edit a Wikipedia page. We originally were planning on editing the Team Conflict page and I put earlier suggestions on the talk page. Therefore I included the earlier draft here and can include our latest draft in the sandbox here if you would prefer. We also submitted a redirect request request from the team conflict page but that was never approved presumably because that page has become inactive. Sorry if our posting it was not to your satisfaction, we are both new to using Wikipedia. Karsegal (talk) 21:38, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Karsegal. No need to apologise for your good faith large scale edit. Moreover, if you wish to discuss any particular part of that edit then don't hesitate to ask.

In terms of your assignment, is it not the case that you have fulfilled the requirement by making that earlier effort? Presumably there is no requirement for the edit to remain as the current version of the page. Or is it simply the case that you are looking to improve your mark by having another go?

In terms of where to place drafts, again, I would not recommend placing them here in this talk page (I would actually remove the above older draft as I think it clogs up this talk page a bit). It is more common to keep the draft at your sandbox and point other editors toward that location if you are seeking feedback. Does that make sense?

Finally, when you say "submitted a redirect request", what exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean that you tried to suggest an article merge? If so, there is are some step by step instructions available for that process. Cheers Andrew (talk) 01:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, yes we fulfilled our requirement by making the earlier edit, it does not need to be the current version of the page (although that was the ideal goal of the assignment). Additionally, I understand what you are saying about not clogging up the talk page. I added our draft to my sandbox and submitted for review by an editor. Finally in regards to a redirect request, we followed the recommendations our instructor made and used this link that he provided us. Karsegal (talk) 02:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Karsegal. I could be wrong, but if you are talking about creating a redirect from team conflict to group conflict then it is more apt to think of it as a merge event. As such, it is actually this process that you should follow. This is not to say that this would result in a speedy resolution (often people will leave a merge proposal in place for months in order to ensure others are happy with it), but it might be the more appropriate channel.
