Where is the dispute?

Keio University

Who is involved?

What is the dispute?

Potential case of academic boosterism and NPOV violation at university article. Users involved cannot agree which rankings to include, and how to present it. 2 different, and seemingly incompatible, versions exist.

What would you like to change about this?

Users talk past each other, and refuse to discuss problem. Many users have no history of contributing to wikipedia and seem to have created accounts with the sole purpose of participating in this discussion. As a result, I would like somebody familiar with wikipedia rules to explain rules and facilitate discussion.

How do you think we can help?

The discussion circulates around the issue of bias. I believe that a person who is well read in wikipedia rules, and who has a neutral POV will be able to help break the deadlock and facilitate discussion.
