Disruptive or Productive
In what sense are my edits "disruptive"? When I look at the article Kender, I see only debate, discussion anddisagreement too, sometimes heated and anot always coridal. But the end result is article improvement, which I think is productive. I think the opening statement should read "Gavin.collins should stop his productive editing. --Gavin Collins (talk) 22:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Gavin, although I understand your question, comments and questions such as this should wait until the RFC/U is officially put up. Each person can express their opinion; the project is currently expressing theirs. You can, and I hope you do, ask questions about this sort of thing both in your formal response to the RFC/U and then on its talk page. Thank you.
 * Please don't take this as an attempt to close out your opinions; I just don't think that it is a good idea to start a discussion here when there will be much more at the actual RFC/U talk. -Drilnoth (talk) 22:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think if you remove my contribution, it will be clearly seen as an attempt to close out my opinions. --Gavin Collins (talk) 07:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't. Once the RFC/U has been fully filed, your response will not be altered in any way by me or (I'd hope) anyone else in the WikiProject. The reason that I removed your addition was because the draft is not yet complete, and has actually undergone significant changes since you had made your addition, so anything that you write now might not accurately reflect a study of the entire filed case. Additionally, beginning a conversation before the RFC actually starts won't do much good for any of us; it will just split up the conversation and make everything harder to keep track of.
 * As I said on your talk page, I will not stop you or attempt to delay you in any way if you start working on a response in your userspace; drafting is part of what the userspace is for. It is fully your right to be able to give a legitmate response, and I do not wish to stop or delay you in working on that; it is only fair that since the RFC/U is being drafted publicly, you may also draft your response publicly. I simply request that you do so somewhere else, and then post your response into the RFC/U when it is actually done. -Drilnoth (talk) 13:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
