I like the introduction. There is a nice set up to the topic. I’m not sure I would go as far as saying that conflict resolution and conflict strategies can be used interchangeably. Resolution is more about an entire process, whereas strategies is more about specific communication behaviors. Although there might be too much overlap to have separate Wikipedia article pages, I suggest not saying that these concepts are interchangeable.
Conflict styles instrument section. Try to avoid using the global “we” because it is too vague. I think you can provide an explanation about whether these styles are the same as strategies or if the terms are interchangeable in your opinion (or from source information). I think the EVLN model needs a direct connection to conflict strategies. Make a connection back to the main topic about why this model is included in the conflict strategies page.
When talking about the big 5 personality traits there could be more connection to conflict strategies by providing specific details about how these traits map onto specific conflict strategies.
The Meyers-Briggs section is good information about the instrument, but it is likely redundant information that already exists on the Meyers-Briggs page. I think the paragraph should be less about describing the instrument and more about how the personality types connect to specific conflict strategies. Then you can link to the Wiki article about Meyers-Briggs to give readers more information if they want it.
Although I see where you are going with the relational dialectics theory, as it is written now it does not have specific connection to conflict strategies. It seems like the information here would appear on a Wiki article about RDT rather than on the article about conflict strategies.
The critique section is good and offers some nice insights. But it seems like the critique are more about conflict instruments and less about conflict strategies or the research about conflict strategies.
Overall a nice start to building a Wiki article about this topic. Jrpederson ( talk) 18:57, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
