*Comment: I can't really tell from this exactly what we're being asked to arbitrate. Are particular users behaving badly? That we can maybe do something about. I know from poking around this is more than a content dispute, but the case presented does not show that. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|∇∆∇∆]]</small></sup> 17:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
**OK, more study shows an RFC was never even attempted. The idea was discussed but not actually enacted; from the archives of the talk page, everyone seems to have missed the point completely. An article RFC is not something people agree on; any single user, at any time including ''right now'' can go over to [[WP:RFC/POLITICS]] (or whichever you think is the best category) and start it up. For example, a single sentence saying "So-and-so article: editors could use some previously uninvolved editors to help determine the weight to be given certain points of view regarding the perpetrators of the bombing". Or something like that; I'm sure many of you are able to craft the sort of neutral-sounding statement that works best at WP:RFC. Otherwise, it really seems like this is an argument that's never gotten past the article's talk page. Unless I'm mistaken about this -- no RFC, no mediation, no request for third opinions -- I'll be rejecting this request as premature. --[[User:Jpgordon|jpgordon]]<sup><small>[[User talk:Jpgordon|∇∆∇∆]]</small></sup> 16:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

* Decline as premature. Talking about opening an RfC is not the same thing as actually opening one. [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill Lokshin]] 18:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
* Decline. I see this primarily as a content dispute. It is outside our remit to make topic-specific determinations of NPOV and appropriate weight. [[User:UninvitedCompany|The Uninvited]] Co., [[User_talk:UninvitedCompany|Inc.]] 22:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
* Decline. [[User:Morven|Matthew Brown (Morven)]] ([[User talk:Morven|T]]:[[Special:Contributions/Morven|C]]) 23:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
