Normally a requested move for 20 articles would trigger an alert on a project page to inform editors interested in that project. Where's the best place to drop a notice for popular music? [[User:In ictu oculi|In ictu oculi]] ([[User talk:In ictu oculi|talk]]) 07:26, 3 September 2012 (UTC) |

:Oh well, if anyone's here :) ...the alert would have pointed to [[Talk:Mỹ Linh]] (restore undiscussed removal of 'ỹ' accent) etc. [[User:In ictu oculi|In ictu oculi]] ([[User talk:In ictu oculi|talk]]) 01:27, 5 September 2012 (UTC) |

Sorry if this is not in the correct format, I have never started a RfC before. This seems, at least to me ATM, the best way to get this started, all help for format correction appreciated.<br />{{rfc|media}} |

I noticed this at AC/DC and also at [[Pink Floyd]]. Was there either a discussion or a reason for instructing people to not edit without discussion first?

:No, but all reverting of late (years) has been suggested to discuss "genre or lead" changes. There are many music related articles with these editnotices, which mostly replace the same statement in "hidden" comments. You are the first editor to bring this up.

::I guess I'm the first because the messages appear to be official, and people may assume there has been consensus. I'll take them down for now; even though I can see this as well intentioned, it's against the spirit of Wikipedia to impose restrictions on people editing without first going through an appropriate process. If you feel that these editnotices are a valid and useful approach to preventing problems (and they may well be), then it would be worth getting some consensus for them, and an agreed protocol for when they should be applied, by whom, and for how long they should remain in place. You could try raising the idea at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)]] and see if people respond. It may well be that such notices could be seen as a useful step before applying semi or full protection. It's just that there should be some discussion first to hammer out the details, and to see what objections there are. In the meantime, could you point me to which other articles you have placed them on?

:::<s>Sorry, would like to help but I don't see any consensus to remove them either but your apparent [[WP:OWN]] of the ones you have already removed.

:::I really don't see the problem here, the notices '''Do not''' even remotely imply restrictions on editing it merely ask to discuss your changes before you change a infobox or lead that has been established by consensus in the first place.
