I replied to the other I believe. Ask anything u like and I will answer. I am a total loner with my prankstering. Excuse the hack of language.

I have found that these "like minded editors" solicited by talk
page,
email, IRC or whatever are the worst thing possible in every situation. There is no surer way to enforce POV or enact mob psychology.

RFC, however, is completely inadequate. Community response to
RFCs is very modest, even (or especially) when controversial articles are being discussed. Only recruiting like-minded editors through their talkpages seems to help. RFC or otherwise, it often leads to no agreement between the litigants, and mediation is sought etc etc. By that time the experienced user is already tired and wants to go back to normal editing.

In the last few weeks, several of us have made an effort to
respond to
RfCs and try and 'mediate' on an ad-hoc basis - with good
results, I
might add.
And as a result of a suggestion by Maurreen in response to Raul's RfAr/RfC, we've recently made an overhaul of the RfC content
section -
with the results being very well recieved.
So please, don't write RfCs off.
