Good article criteria

Any reason you changed this back? You overrode the outcome at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Quick fails, yet your edit summary suggested otherwise. I do see how you may have gotten confused, as the closer cited this difference, which accidentally changed the GA criteria, but his or her wording highly implies that the wording should be reverted back prior to the aforementioned change he cited, and that's what the closure actually did.

Sorry about that. I did get confused because of the diff, so I self-reverted the misassumption, Yellow Evan. --George Ho (talk) 20:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Ally mcbeal season 4 cast.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Cold War II

I read article about World War 3 between us and China it mistake on Cold War 2 page so sorry about this. GAJJR (talk) 01:43, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

No worries, GAJJR, but may you please continue discussing at Talk:Cold War II#CNBC article (August 2017) please? Also, may you undo the addition? Thanks. --George Ho (talk) 01:46, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Please stop asking for my attention

Please stop creating RfC's at Talk:Cold War II. You've created at least four or five in less than a year. I find your repeated requests both unnecessary and onerous. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:02, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Then what else do you want me to do without RfCs, Chris? Be bold or something? --George Ho (talk) 16:20, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

No, I don't think you should be bold. Instead, start discussions on the talk page but skip the RfC template. If no one responds, assume that it's not something you should worry about. On that particular subject, please don't include history as a category as it brings the wrong cohort. For questions about China, why not ask that WikiProject for their input? Your practice of calling-in editors like me to field your ideas is unwelcome. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:35, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

I did notify, Chris. But that was before the RFC tag; no one responded before the tag. But all right... From now on, I won't use the RfC process for now. I just hope someone else or more people keep an eye on the article actively, so I can't be the only person doing so. BTW, the article was nominated for deletion once, but it was unsuccessful. --George Ho (talk) 16:47, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

If you brought it up and no one responded, then why not just edit until someone reverts you? I see you have a note here that "If uncertain whether RFC is necessary, please read Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Before starting the process before doing so". I don't think an RfC was necessary. If there's a concern about your editing against consensus, then you might find somewhere less contentious to edit. I don't think creating RfC's is the best way. If it were, then maybe that article shouldn't be edited (eg, stick to status quo ante). And yes, I'm aware the community made a mistake on that AfD; they often do.
