An editor has been banned from certain topics, I was not a part of the discussion and came to know about it only after the ban was enforced and discussion closed. I consider that the ban is harsh and excessive. What can I do about it? Can I discuss it with other editors and the banned editor and other editors supporting the ban?Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:49, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I know what RfC means, what do RfC/U and CU mean? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 06:32, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

CU=WP:CHECKUSER. WP:RfC/U=Request for comments on a user's conduct. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 06:47, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Got the point.Yogesh Khandke (talk) 07:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
You can pretty much get information on any Wikipedia policy, essay, etc by starting to type "WP:RfC...." in the search box. The search prediction is pretty intuitive and you can learn about new essays you were not aware of. Zuggernaut (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I solicited votes from users of known views. What is the value of such votes? Please a quote of rules would be greatly obliged. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:23, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh! I know it is inappropriate, votestacking. But what is the value of the votes. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:34, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
"Value"? What do you mean? Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 14:36, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Do the votes canvassed by me count or do they become invalid that is my question, please qoute rules. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Votes are generally not counted anyways. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 14:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Will you please share the specific rule. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
WP:NOTDEMOCRACY Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 15:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Please you are helping me, but I am sorry for disagreeing, wp:NOTDEMOCRACY states: Wikipedia is not a democracy. Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy or any other political system. Its primary but not exclusive method of determining consensus is through editing and discussion, not voting. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion. Straw votes should be used with caution, and are no more binding than any other consensus decision. Elections and votes are only endorsed for things that take place outside Wikipedia proper, such as when electing the Arbitration Committee. Not related to the present issue. Can you help me with the exact rule. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
