Himorogi (神籬) in Japan are sometimes seen at construction sites. The boundary ropes mark a sacred space. The symbolic fenced area stands for a while before actual work begins. The zigzag-shaped paper streamers ropes are called shide (紙垂).

What does it mean? To undermine?

A. Undermining as a tactic presents value judgments as facts .[1] It is a self-justifying mechanism.[2]

B. It is axiomatic that to criticise is not per se to undermine.

C. Undermining is qualitatively different. It can seem the same sometimes, but it isn’t. The one is valid, and the other is not.[3]

D. Undermining is a specific kind of impediment or disruption of Wikipedia's collaborative editing.

E. Undermining refers to a process in which an editor and his or her work are strategically undermined. As a tactic, it is an attempt to deflect attention away from the substance of any contribution, focusing instead on the writer.

F. Undermining may

  • (a) inhibit an examination of valid issues and
  • (b) redirect or re-frame a discussion thread.

G. Often the context will be muddied or worsened by a others, who introduce a simplistic policy-based response instead of addressing the substantive content of a diff or a thread. This can have the effect of sidetracking a discussion into policy interpretations.

H. Within the ambit of undermining tactics are those processes which attempt to achieve "re-branding" within the wiki-community.

I. One form of undermining is hard to spot, harder to anticipate and hardest to deal with because those engaging in it will fiercely deny they are doing so. The problem is marked by an unwillingness to listen to the other side, to acknowledge that someone else has a point, to embrace the notion that this is a complex matter that requires an investment in another way of looking at a controversial topic.[3]

Dispute resolution

File:Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement-en.svg
Undermining as a tactic distracts attention from the top three sections of this pyramid.

Wikipedia is built upon the principle of collaboration and assuming that the efforts of others are in good faith.

However, for those who use undermining as a tactic, something else becomes the focal point -- not encyclopedia writing.

Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement

File:Graham's_Hierarchy_of_Disagreement1.svg The pyramid graphic which was posted at WP:DR was the only image on the page from 2008-2012. The specific wording of the pyramid graphic emphasizes a few relted terms:

  1. Refuting the Central Point refutes the central point
  2. Refutation finds the mistake and explains why its mistaken using quotes
  3. Counterargument contradicts and then backs it up with reasoning and/or supporting evidence
  4. Contradiction states the opposing case with little or no supporting evidence
  5. Responding to Tone criticizes the tone of the writing without addressing the substance of the argument
  6. Ad Hominem attacks the characteristics or authority of the writer without addressing the substance of the argument
  7. Name calling sounds something like, "You are an ass hat."

At WP:DR, the image caption is an hortatory command: "Stay in the top three sections of this pyramid."

Deligitimization

In the course of history, individuals and groups have been targeted; and this caused the development of the "theory of delegitimization" as an academic framework.[4]

For example, images of derogated target groups were published in the Italian Fascist magazine La Difesa della Razza in the 1930s. These were classified according to eight undermining strategies,[5] including trait characterisation, political labels, group comparison, segregation, outcasting and using a delegitimized group to stigmatize another group.[6]

In 1975, "delegitimization" became a kind of "buzz word" when then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Daniel Patrick Moynihan accused the international body of delegitimizing Israel by passing a "Zionism is racism" resolution.[7]

The paired concepts of "legitimize" and "de-legitimize" have gained currency in discussions about nuclear disarmament.[8]
