Line 135:
* Has an RfC yet been filed on the article? Or even within the last 6 months? If not, encourage the participants to do so.
: If they're still resistant, lay it out for them. '''Don't''' file the RfC yourself, but you may wish to show them exact text of how to file one.
* Point out the [[WP:SEEKHELP|dispute resolution noticeboards]]. For example, if the participants are engaged in a dispute about whether or not a source is reliable, encourage them to start a thread at the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard]].
* Ask the participants if they have requested comments from other WikiProjects or article talkpages (note this does ''not'' mean requesting comments just from users who they know will agree with them)
: Suggest some places where a public notice may be a good idea, to bring in other experienced viewpoints
