However, I think it is good we opened up this discussion. I think the moderator truly has made every effort to make this process go well. However, I think a different structure needs to be used for this sort of process. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 19:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
ITNHi. You really should learn more about what is a consensus and how it is reached through a discussion. This is not the first time you post an item with no consensus at all and in the most recent case with Jason Collins there is even majority of users who are against it. This is an extreme violation of the rights and responsibilities of an admin and please, trust me, your subjective opinion why to post it doesn't and shouldn't weight more than all of the others who have spent many hours to discuss the issue. Sorry but your recent behaviour has definitely crossed the red line and it fully encourages me to take the issue further (first level, second level). Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 09:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Jerusalem RfC discussion: finalising draftsHello. We have almost finished step three of the Jerusalem RfC discussion, but before we move on to step four I would like to make sure that all the participants are happy with the drafts that we have chosen. The content of the drafts are likely to dictate what ends up in the actual article, after all, so I want to make sure that we get them right. So far, there hasn't been much interest in the process of choosing which drafts to present to the community, and only three editors out of twenty submitted a drafts statement. I have used these three statements to pick a selection of drafts to present, but we still need more input from other participants to make sure that the statements are representative of all participants' wishes. I have started discussions about this underquestion seven and question eight on the RfC discussion page, and I would be grateful for your input there. Also, there have been complaints that this process has been moving too slowly, so I am going to implement a deadline. If there haven't been any significant objections to the current selection of drafts by the end of Wednesday, 8 May, then I will move on to step four. Questions or comments are welcome on the discussion page or on my talk page.

Kirill [talk] 23:16, 7 May 2013 (UTC) In the News Postcompletely ignoring concensus in favor of your own reasoning. While discussions are not votes, saying "I understand there are some people who believe this should not have been a big deal, but, for better or worse, it was/is a big story" is like saying "I understand there are some people who believe my religion/ideology/... is wrong, but, for better or worse, it's right" and then placing it on the main page. Furthermore, and just as problematic, you did not in any way discount severely POV comments, such as:
to quote some of most egregious examples The overwhelming majority of such POV statements came from the Support camp. If you had properly ignored such !votes, there would have been clear consensus not to post. This is a very serious issue, featuring a disregarding of NPOV and Consensus, to influence the content that millions of readers saw. I notice others have complained about your ItN decisions; while I do not know the details and will therefore refrain from judging those cases, consistent abuse of your adminhood would lead me to pursue higher-level channels of discussion. -- Ypnypn (talk) 02:37, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Unacceptable behaviourI cannot stand reading this without reaction :
If we place this in the context of the behaviour that you adopted, as well as NMMNG due to the way Mr Stradivarius closed Question 5, we could wonder if the accusation against Nishidani should not target yourself. It is obvious and not discussable that the use of a dictionnary here is WP:SYNHT and Mr Stradivarisu closed the question the right way. There are official and reliable sources that state that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and they should be used to support the point instead of attacking other contributors who underlined the unadequation of the "dictionnary reasonning" with Wikipedia principles.

Jerusalem RfC discussion: step fourHello everyone. We are now at step four of the Jerusalem RfC discussion, where we will decide the details of the RfC implementation. This is the home stretch - the RfC proper will begin as soon as we have finished this step. Step four is also less complicated than the previous steps, as it is mostly about procedural issues. This means it should be over with a lot more quickly than the previous steps. There are some new questions for you to answer at the discussion page, and you can see how the RfC is shaping up at the RfC draft page. Also, when I say that this step should be over with a lot quicker than the previous steps, I mean it: I have set a provisional deadline of Monday, 20th May for responses. I'm looking forward to seeing your input. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 12:56, 13 May 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 13 May 2013

We are scheduled to start the Jerusalem RfC at 09:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC). Before then, I would like you to check the draft page, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jerusalem, and see if there are any errors or anything that you would like to improve. If it's a small matter of copy editing, then you can edit the page directly. If it's anything that might be contentious, then please start a discussion at Talk:Jerusalem/2013 RfC discussion#The final countdown. I'll check through everything and then set the RfC in motion on Thursday. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 16:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC) The Signpost: 20 May 2013
Jerusalem RfC has startedHello again everyone. We have finally made it - the RfC is now open, and a few editors have chimed in already. The discussion is located atWikipedia:Requests for comment/Jerusalem. I'm sure you don't actually need me to tell you this, but please go over there and leave your comments. :) You are the editors most familiar with the Jerusalem lead dispute on Wikipedia, so it would be very useful for the other participants to see what you have to say. And again, thank you for all your hard work in the discussions leading up to this. We shall reconvene after the results of the RfC have been announced, so that we can work out any next steps we need to take, if necessary.
