WikiQueer:Requests for comment/User conduct/Guidance

Are you in the right place?
A request for comment on user conduct (a RfC/U) is for discussing specific users who have violated WikiQueer policies and guidelines. Carefully read the following before filing an RfC.


 * Disputes over the writing of articles, including disputes over how best to follow the NPOV policy, belong in Request comment through talk pages.
 * For a mild-to-moderate conflict, you might try WikiQueer:Wikiquette alerts, a quick, simple way to get an outside view.
 * For feedback on your own activity at WikiQueer, you might try WikiQueer:Editor review or WikiQueer:Administrator review .
 * To report an offensive or confusing user name in violation of WikiQueer:Username policy, see subpage User names.
 * To report spam, page blanking, and other blatant vandalism, see WikiQueer:Vandalism.
 * Generally, see the dispute resolution process and the helpful advice found here.
 * If you would like to get one-to-one advice, feedback or counseling from another editor, then you should consider editor assistance.

The nature of RfC/U

 * An RfC is a tool for developing voluntary agreements and collecting information.
 * An RfC may bring close scrutiny on all involved editors. In most cases, editors named in an RfC are expected to respond to it. The Arbitration Committee closely considers evidence and comments in RfC if the editors involved in the RfC are later named in a request for arbitration.
 * See also RfC/U rules.

Qualification

 * An RfC/U must be certified in the way outlined at WikiQueer:Requests for comment/User conduct/new.
 * If you're not sure if anyone else has had the same issues with the editor in question, consider some other method of dispute resolution, such as Wikiquette Alerts.
 * If others have had the same or related issues with the editor in question, you may wish to create a draft in your own user space that you may jointly work on. This will help frame the dispute in a way that will get to the heart of the issue.

Preparation

 * Spend some time looking through the WikiQueer:Requests for comment/User conduct/Archive - get a feel for what happens.
 * Collect any data or notes you're likely to need.
 * Consider creating a draft first. To do this, create a page in your userspace (eg User:Example/draft), and add Userspace RFC draft. Then go to WikiQueer:Requests for comment/User conduct/Assistance to ask for input.
 * You might also want to read some suggestions on how to present an RfC case.

Creation

Listing

 * Once you've created the RFC/U page, list it in the appropriate Candidate Pages section of WikiQueer:Requests for comment/User conduct.
 * Users who are the subject of an RfC should be notified on their talk page. This may be done with the template .
 * Candidate pages need a second user to certify the dispute within 48 hours. Those that don't meet this criterion should be delisted, and marked for speedy deletion with the db-maintenance tag.
 * Once a second user has certified the dispute, it should be moved from the "Candidate pages" section to the "Approved pages" section.
