RfC on Dalmatia
Yes a RfC was opened, users made their comments but User:Director ignored the comments and edited the article his way. What should I do? Cannot I open a discussion of the DRN? Can you please teach me how to close the existing RfC if this is compulsory to open a DRN? --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- I think I actually found the way [[1]]. Can you please confirm this is the way to follow?
- That probably won't work until the RFC has time to run its course. I'd strongly suggest leaving the RFC open. The purpose of a RFC is to draw in other editors to the discussion and many times that doesn't happen until several days or weeks into the process (there's always a bit of a backlog). Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:21, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, I will follow your suggestion. Thank you for your help.Silvio1973 (talk) 19:08, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

RfC/U
Dear User as you know Director and myself experience often difficulties in communication. For this reason I have filed a RfC/U to discuss about this problem. I must confess that I genuinely believe he deals with me with improper language (inaccaptable, regardeless of the difficulties of communication we experienced). I did not file an AN/I because I would like to have a large discussion about this issue. And may be I am the guilty one.
If you want to partecipate to the discussion as a "User who tried and failed to resolve the dispute" or "Additional user endorsing this cause for concern") you can do at [[2]]. Seen your seniority your input to succesfully close this RfC is more than welcome.
To avoid the suspicion of canvassing I am contacting all the users involved in the previous and present dispute. If you think I forgote someone please tell me. Silvio1973 (talk) 15:01, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
New DRN coordinator
Somehow I don't see this working. Your thoughts?-- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:50, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- I've chimed in. Let's see if he responds in the next few days. If he doesn't then I think we can presume he's given up and you or I can take over the position or ask for a more experienced volunteer to do it. If he does respond, perhaps he'll agree to my suggestion. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:37, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
DNR
Since you closed the case, do you know an actual way to draw more editors to the discussion about Mexico? RfC is not working. Can you maybe give your opinion in the issue? Aergas (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
RfC: Solar Roadways
I am notifying everyone who participated in the Solar Roadways DRN that there is an open RfC at Talk:Solar_Roadways#RfC:_Should_the_cost_to_cover_the_entire_USA_be_included.3F. Thanks. -- GreenC 20:32, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Request for comment/Conduct rejected
Hi TransporterMan, thanks for leading me to the right place in this dispute. However, I posted on Request for comment but my request was immediately turned down. I looked for help on the help desk, but still don´t know what is wrong, it's about conduct. Also, the editor who discarded my request, on whose Userpage Talk I posted, is not responding. Why cannot I post on Request for comment? Thanks again for your time Iñaki LL (talk) 21:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
- What you've been told at the Help Desk is that when that editor looked through your misfiled RFC/U draft, they did not feel that it stated a conduct request which would obtain any relief, but more closely stated a content dispute. As you stated it at DRN your request was about conduct and requested relief - giving warnings and blocks - which we do not do at DRN. As such, I referred you to conduct forums based on your choice and statement of what you wanted to do and have done. By doing so, however, I did not mean to suggest that you would either succeed or fail at those forums, only that if you wanted to raise conduct rather than content that was where to go since DRN does not handle conduct. It would appear that your request for an RFC/U was removed because it was not filed in the right place. You must precisely follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_conduct/Guidance in order to file such a request. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:59, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. However, I am still lost, it is a conduct matter and the resource is on User conduct, I mean comments on user conduct. I am positive it is a problem of disruptive and obstructive editing. I explained that my aim was a warning or a temporary block from the article because that is what I think should apply, perhaps the resource should state what the aim is beforehand, and avoid the confusion. Anyway, frankly I am not sure if I am being required to have more specific evidence, like breaches of the rule 3 reverts, or state other aims, or try another resource like posting diffs in his Userpage talk as per dealing with disruptive editors. Sorry to burden my query on your shoulders but I am quite confused and it is taking quite a long time. Any input is appreciated. Iñaki LL (talk) 16:41, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- The initial place to get administrative actions, like blocks, is at ANI or by request to an individual administrator. RFC/U is only to get the advice and evaluation of other ordinary editors — some of whom may or may not be admins — about a user's conduct, either as a optional-but-not-required preliminary to moving on to block or banning requests or simply in the hope of causing the user to see the error of their ways (though sometimes it happens that it boomerangs and it is the filing editor who learns that). Not being an expert in conduct matters and not being, myself, an administrator, I express no opinion about what the editor said at the help desk about your request, but would note that the editor who said it is neither an administrator nor an experienced user. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 17:19, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- Actually what you are saying on RFC/U should work for me, but coming back with a like request only aims changed may not be welcome. I am interested in 3o-s, but that has been used by now at the request of the editor in question with no good outcome for him, but he would keep going with other objections. A mediator on conduct would be welcome, it's conduct. I was quite a long time ago in an ANI case with a very frustrating experience to be honest. I am positive on the conduct of the editor, but after that experience I am not sure what the ANI will come up with, so will try to avoid it. Should you know another conduct mediation resource, please let me know. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 21:10, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- If by "coming back with a like request" you mean coming back at RFC/U, you wouldn't be coming back with a like request because the first one was not filed in the right place. It was, for all practical intents and purposes, never made. When properly filed, the request's URL will be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Jotamar and that page has never existed. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, that's what I wanted to know, thanks for your patience! Iñaki LL (talk) 15:15, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi TransporterMan, many thanks for your guidelines in this journey, re page Navarre. I opened a Request for comment, you can find in this link. It requires a comment of someone participating in the dispute (section Users certifying the basis for this dispute of the latter link), your input on your participation is much appreciated. Iñaki LL (talk) 07:05, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Once again your request has been closed by a third party because it was not filed at the right place. Read what I said above: "When properly filed, the request's URL will be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Jotamar and that page has never existed." That statement is still true. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:48, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

PONY!
Pony!
Congratulations! For incredible patience with a not-so-new user, you have received a pony! Ponies are cute, intelligent, cuddly, friendly (most of the time, though with notable exceptions), promote good will, encourage patience, and enjoy carrots. Treat your pony with respect and he will be your faithful friend! Montanabw(talk) 20:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, very, very much, partner. I'm a Native Texan who's never owned a cayuse and now I have one. I'll have to get a cyber-trailer for my cyber-pony. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:08, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- I have carrots and sugar over at the pony prize page, if needed. ;-) Montanabw(talk) 23:14, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

I appreciate your efforts. By the way, in regard to the one reference that was so disputed by the one editor on the one article - I added it to a similar article, and she made no issue about it at all. Thanks again. Daniellagreen (talk) 17:22, 28 June 2014 (UTC) |
- Thank you very, very much. I appreciate it! Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:49, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Toes
Hi T-man, For perceived efficacy, I've moved your talk page comment into a new section here. If this does not meet with your approval, please feel free to change things back to they way you wanted or ping me and I'll do it. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 17:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Fine by me, my friend. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for checking in!
Thanks for checking in last month. Sorry I left so abruptly, especially when DRN issues were pending. I'm working on some "real life" projects, which will be done in a few weeks. After this, I'll be back on a more consistent basis. —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 15:58, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- I'm glad you're well. Don't forget that you've signed up for the DRN coordinator position starting December 1 and probably need to be active at DRN for a month or so before that so you're up to speed and aware of current trends. I'll look forward to seeing you then, if not before. Best luck with your RW projects! Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:19, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
