+==== Community Governance & Dispute Resolution ====
+=== Wikipedia ===
+Wikipedia's multi-tiered dispute resolution system is a major focus for Lexipedia — it's one of the most developed examples of community governance on the internet.
+  * [[wikipedia_dispute_resolution|Wikipedia Dispute Resolution Overview]] — Full BPMN model of the escalation process from talk pages through arbitration
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_talk_page|Talk Page Discussion]] — The first step: direct editor-to-editor discussion
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_third_opinion|Third Opinion (3O)]] — Requesting an uninvolved editor's perspective
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_noticeboard|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard (DRN)]] — Structured volunteer-assisted resolution
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_mediation|Mediation]] — Mediation Committee facilitated resolution
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_arbitration|Arbitration (ArbCom)]] — Binding decisions from the Arbitration Committee
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_admin_intervention|Administrator Intervention]] — Admin actions for policy violations during disputes
+These models demonstrate how online communities can build transparent, process-driven governance — and they're a great example of how Lexipedia can document processes beyond traditional legal jurisdictions.
