Requests for comment

Requests for comment (RFC for short) is a process by which conflicts on Meta can be resolved or proposals made and discussed. It can also be used for unresolved conflicts or other issues in regards to other Wikimedia projects if discussion on the relevant project has not been successful.

You can add a link to the disputed page or create a new subpage requesting comments here. Please also give your opinion on the requests listed below.

I am trying to use this for discussion of non-conversations (where actions are being taken by outsiders without having found editors on the relevant project to engage) -- sj | help translate |+ 05:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
