This edit made at the subject RfC appears to be an allegation of misconduct (forum shopping). Such allegations without substantiation are reasonably construed as a personal attack. An RfC is also not the appropriate place to make such an allegation. Extraordinary Writ made this post at the RfC linking to this discussion at their talk page. If you read that discussion, you would see that they state: but an RfC would certainly be one way to resolve the matter
- ie an RfC is not unreasonable in the circumstances. At this post to the RfC, I also make it clear that the RM discussed with Extraordinary Writ ... was not the only matter leading to this RM
and ... this RfC is about the relationship between CRITERIA and TITLEFORMAT rather than CRITERIA and LOWECASE
[the latter being the point of contention at that particular RM]. An allegation of misconduct cannot reasonably be substantiated. I suggest you redact your edit. Cinderella157 (talk) 02:58, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, that seems a fair point and so I have revised my !vote as follows. Andrewđ(talk) 08:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- No The point at issue is an attempt to lower-case an article title. WP:NOTLAW states that "
...the written rules themselves do not set accepted practice ... Disagreements are resolved through consensus-based discussion, not by tightly sticking to rules and procedures
". We had a consensus-based discussion and that establishes the accepted practice. If there then seems to be inconsistency in the rules then the rules should be loosened, not tightened, so as to accommodate the accepted practice. Andrewđ(talk) 08:24, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

And the consequence was: "There is consensus that WP:TITLEFORMAT does not take precedence over WP:CRITERIA.
