RfC on an Article in Which You've Participated
A RfC on an article in which you've commend on has been opened here. This is a courtesy notification you may ignore if it is of no interest. LavaBaron (talk) 06:33, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

two requests
First - In the interest of trying to get the RfC back on track, I am not replying to the other editor's recent comment, but I would like to note to him that I did not accuse him of being "emotional." I said the words "bizarre" and "irrelevant" were emotive but it seems - based on his comment - he read it as "emotion." I feel like this may be the reason he got so quickly worked up, as I was rather at a loss to identify any other (his declarations that I'm making "false attacks" against him made me wonder if we were reading the same thread, honestly, as I don't think I made any attacks let alone false ones, but I think this misreading of "emotive" might explain it). I would like to point out that he was not accused of being emotional as I'm hopeful it might easily clear-up this misunderstanding, but I don't feel it would be well-received coming from me. If you feel it would be beneficial, would you be willing to point that out? I hate knowing someone is mad at me.  Second - would you mind collapsing the discussion in the survey that got off-track? I think it would tend to scare-away anyone else who tried to comment. Again, it's probably not going to be well-received if I do it. LavaBaron (talk) 10:23, 12 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Dravecky. I am not sure why this editor keeps pursuing this meme as evidenced by their comments to you about the definition of the word "emotive" and comments like I hate knowing someone is mad at me. as well as sarcastic comments on the talkpage of the article about how "passionate" I am about editing the boat article. Also from his comment as I don't think I made any attacks let alone false ones he seems to not understand that his claims that I called him personally "bizarre" and "irrelevant" are false and he should have retracted them. But I don't mind because I aim to end this mess not by trying to reply any further to such comments, but by ignoring them for the sake of ending this ridiculous episode. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 11:19, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Also please note the edit-summary of his first revert: removed dumb text, and this despite my past explanation at the DYK nom subpage for which he had thanked me. If that was not a bizarre reason to blank the mission statement I don't know what is. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 11:43, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Do neither of you get the idea of taking a step back? Or walking away for just a moment? How about both of you voluntarily stop editing the article at issue, its talk page, each other's talk pages, or any other page even tangentially related to each other for 24 hours? Seriously. Just cut it out for 24 hours. The internet will still be here on Tuesday, but perhaps you'll have each cooled off a bit. (Please don't make me do this formally with tools and paperwork and black marks on your permanent records. Let's call this a very firm suggestion.) - Dravecky (talk) 13:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Editing under threat of sanctions is not for me. I have unwatched the article and I don't intend to ever edit it again. Best. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:14, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

A couple updates:

Thanks again ever so much for acknowledging my efforts to improve the Quality of articles on Wikipedia in this manner.

Radio project page discussion
Not sure whether or not you'd seen this, but I'd be interested in getting your thoughts. Sadly, as with most things on the radio project talk page, participation in the discussion has been thin. Mlaffs (talk) 02:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added a few thoughts. - Dravecky (talk) 06:29, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Hope you're well. Mlaffs (talk) 17:47, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
