Battlestar Wiki:Requests for comment

This page is an official policy of Battlestar Wiki. This policy is considered by the community and its leadership to be the status quo of Battlestar Wiki and is not to be countermanded or ignored, though changes to it can be discussed on the appropriate talk page. This policy was implemented on 30 January 2006.

Requests for Comment is the process to encourage community consensus on the identification and resolution of disputes between members of the community, regardless of their standing. The goal is to identify any disputes with members and resolve them in a manner consistent with the beliefs of the wiki's community.

RfCs are a way that anyone can request other Wikipedians to help them resolve difficulties and disputes in articles or talk pages. Anyone may visit any of these articles, to help them reach agreement. A good quality RfC can help contributors resolve differences, add different insights, give comments and opinions on how others might see some wording, and so on. When listing a dispute here, you should also place a notice on the appropriate talk page.

Beginning an RfC

This section is for discussing specific users who have allegedly violated Battlestar Wiki's policies and guidelines, and thus may be deemed as an issue for the community. In order to request comment about a user, please follow the instructions to create a subpage in the appropriate section below.

General user conduct

Discussions about user conduct should be listed in this section unless the complaint is specifically about the use of admin privileges or the choice of username.
