Also RfC practice has varied dramatically over the years; and across wiki
communities of different sizes; and varies strongly with the quality of the

in others it can work well.
A good RfC leads to useful improvement
Dear Amy,
That's an interesting topic, for your database you might want to just filter
your dataset for some outliers that start and close on the first of April
broadly construed (it is more than forty hours from when April Fools day starts
in New Zealand to when it ends in California).
Hi Amy,
That sounds like a great topic for research.
As an extension of your planned scope, I would encourage you to do some
comparisons between ENWP's RfC process and those on other Wikimedia sites,
as there are some noteworthy differences among sites, both among language
variants of Wikipedia
Hi all,
We are preparing to conduct some research into the process of how Requests

some of the work that was presented there that I found interesting. If you’d
like to check the report out, it can be found
