Controversy vs scandal

Would be good if someone could explain, with references, the difference between controversy and scandal. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:01, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly where to put this, but I've noticed a LOT of articles have a section titled "controversy" which mentions some petition by one fringe group or another, generally one dedicated to getting upset about things. Any suggestions for a more accurate word or phrase we could be using in these cases? 2605:6000:EA51:3700:A8B4:9618:8538:7E9B (talk) 00:39, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
