I list the second one because of the fact that people are not allowed to talk about it ( https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBPM/comments/6sgopq/goode_with_the_goods_at_super_smash_con_for_pm/ ), but I leave the first option open because of what we did for the first 2 SSCs.

:Hmm...well first off, please remember to sign your comments. Second, considering the one at SSC 2016 is still on the page despite having 134 entrants, I'd say keep it listed as a side event, but maybe have a note somewhere on the article explaining the circumstances behind the PM tournament. If there's ever a problem, we can easily split it into its own article later.

supa (lowercase) didn't attend Little Big House 2 nor plays smash for Wii U. There is another Supa in michigan but they are two completely different people. That is why I removed the tournament results. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Dragnalus|Dragnalus]] ([[User talk:Dragnalus|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dragnalus|contribs]]) 23:26, 4 September 2017‎ (EST)</small>

:For one thing, please remember to sign your comments (you can see how at the top of edit boxes on talk pages). Second, do you have any further proof that they're different people? I mainly ask this because the original person who created the article does seem to have a respectable reputation for Smash 64 articles, so I'm trying to see whether or not the inclusion of that result was an honest mistake, and because it's a little easy to claim something like that without something to back it up.

:We generally don't cover unofficial and fanmade terms unless they're widely known and popular, such as the [[Scar Jump]].

So in the end I figured the best way for me to learn is if you tell me if there were any parts I did well, and the parts I could've done better. Thanks for your time.

:You definitely have the foundation in place. The symbol debate is an odd case so using that example wouldn't entirely benefit either of us, but in most cases yes, if a discussion has already been turned down, you can shoot it down and explain why it's not happening. However, if a sufficient amount of time had passed, opinions can change wildly. For example, we used to have a category for female smashers due to how few there were in the scene, and that was constantly debated back and forth on whether or not we were keeping it. I think it was ultimately decided to do away with it, though I wasn't here for that discussion. As for your latter approach, that generally is the next best thing to do in a debate, and definitely what you wanna start with in most cases. As an admin, unless ''you're'' the one who started the debate, it's usually best to go in as a neutral party in order to attempt to find a compromise everyone can agree on. Lastly, while admins and bureaucrats aren't to be considered kings on SmashWiki, we still have the ability to shut something down should we feel it necessary for any reason.
:tl;dr, you have a good foundation for dispute handling and the best qualities I recommend focusing on are patience, neutrality, and, as someone who's been guilty of this myself in the past, keeping your emotions in check, no matter how heated the dispute becomes.

::Alright, thanks for the advice. I am glad to see I am on the right track, and keeping a neutral tone is actually something I try to do at the start so I can see what most people think first, and then I try to find the best solution out of them (though the symbol debate was a different case due to the past discussions). For patience that definitely shouldn't be a problem for me since I'm often known for being a patient individual in real life, I don't let my emotions take over because that will do more harm than good. And actually adminship here is something I have considered before, I just need to make sure I'm ready to take the position before requesting, '''EDIT''': and if I eventually do I will give this a mention.
