Welcome to the picnic! If you are a new user thanking me for the welcome, create the section with "Thanks from (your name)" or something similar, not just Thanks or Thank you, as this gets hard to track. :)
When do I archive? Whenever the page is over 30KB. No sooner, and only later if there's an active topic.

Thanks for your kind offer. Mediation would most likely be fruitless. Billbrock 02:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
RFM subnational entities?
Hello, are you still interested in mediation? Please reply at my talk page. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. I don't quite understand the processes yet, and they are not well documented.
- When do the the RFCs become complete? I don't see any time limit listed, and it's hard to figure out where everything stands:
- Conradi never responded to the Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Tobias Conradi. What happens next?
- The MedCab guy issued "final" comments on the one that he started at Misplaced Pages:Request for comment/Naming conventions (subnational entities). Again, what happens next?
- Meanwhile, having been driven off the "(subnational entities)" project page, I posted my proposed text on the superior project "(places)" — and after virtually no controversy (unlike the fierce fights over US and Canada there), it's all now part of the adopted guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (places). It probably helped that I've some experience writing international standards (Google is your friend).
- Really, it all came down to the tamper tantrums of one guy.
- The reasons for the tantrums became apparent when I discovered Conradi had been vigorously moving/renaming pages to create a de facto standard after losing the straw poll of August 2005.
- The issue isn't resolved with finality, as there are still thousands of pages to be moved and fixed to conform to the new guidelines.
- Do RfCs persist until all the problems are fixed?
- Would a goal of RfM be that Conradi help in putting things back where they belong?
- After so long a wait, I'd hate to give up the opportunity for actual RfM help, but as I don't know what's the regular practice for completion of RfCs, and how RfM fits into the schema, I don't know what to do next.
