Just to let everyone know, I've notified User:Epbr123 of this RfC. However, he's sought fit to remove it from his talk page minutes after I've posted it. While I do believe it should stay on his talk page, at least until the RfC ends, I don't care to go down that road -- particularly since I don't see anything in the RfC guidelines regarding the user's right (or lack thereof) of removing RfC notification messages from their own user talk page. On the other hand, the user has clearly seen it and knows of its existence, and thus cannot feign ignorance to these proceedings, so I guess the point is more or less moot. Regardless, what it boils down to is that the user has been notified and knows. Any questions, comments, or concerns are more than welcome. So say we all. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. 19:46, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. You've told him = he's been told. Don't revert his removal of the notification! Epbr123 has a right to remove any posts he chooses from his page. You don't ever want to edit war in somebody else's userspace. And the removal is reckoned to be proof that he's seen it, yes. Bishonen | talk 20:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC).
Yeah, the goal of putting it on his talk page is to notify him, not to act as a badge of shame (which it is) that he can't remove. You've told him, he elected to remove it; so be it. (I did notice his nice rearranging of his barnstars after the fact, though ... :-) Xihr 04:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Possible WP:CANVASS Issue

The initiator of this RfC sought the participation of at least 11 other editors through messages on their talk pages. The messages appear to be neutral, but judging by the views of the five who have weighed in here so far, it appears that the recipients were handpicked among people who had expressed a negative view of the subject. If so, the audience is partisan and this may have been improper votestacking. I haven't had any contact with the subject, so I'm not taking any position on the underlying RfC. -- But|seriously|folks  04:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
