[WikiEN-l] Dispute resolution broken?

[Christiano Moreschi]

So says one of our Lords and Masters :)

My own view is this: Wikipedia's dispute resolution process works fine when it's case of two or more good-faith contributors engaging in a genuine debate over something where debate is meaningful. The process is hopelessly inadequate to deal with editors who act tendentiously or not in good faith, or in circumstances where there is no meaningful debate to be had (homeopathy).

Do others agree? And if so, what are the fixes?
