At User talk:Rschen7754/Archive 49#WP:GEOFEAT and WP:GEOROAD you say As far as overall strategy, I am hesitant to comment about it on a public page. Can you explain what you mean by this, and does it relate to the current proposal at the map RFC? BilledMammal (talk) 01:38, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

I should be asking you the same question. As far as mine, it is clearly defined at User:Rschen7754/Without apology. --Rschen7754 01:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

That page doesn't explain what is meant by overall strategy, nor why you are hesitant to comment about it on a public page. Can you expand on both of these? If you want to ask me a question I will do my best to answer, but I'm not sure how to answer the question I asked of you as it related to a statement you made. BilledMammal (talk) 01:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

What is your overall strategy? What is your end game? I have given mine. What is yours? --Rschen7754 01:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

What you have given is your overall goal; it doesn't explain what your overall strategy to achieve that goal is. I would also appreciate an explanation for why you are hesitant to comment about it on a public page.

My overall goal is to base articles on reliable, independent, and secondary sources, without the inclusion of original research. I have no strategy related to this. BilledMammal (talk) 01:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Do lawyers talk publicly about what their strategy is? That is just stupid. To me it looks like your strategy is "delete all 30,000 road articles on Wikipedia". So if that's not what your strategy or endgame is, you might want to clarify and/or adjust course. --Rschen7754 01:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

We aren't lawyers. Are you saying that you have engaged in off-wiki discussion to generate a strategy while excluding input from or review by editors who may disagree with that strategy or its intents? BilledMammal (talk) 01:58, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

My thoughts are my thoughts, my strategy is my strategy, and you have no right to force me to share them publicly. This is borderline hounding and it is downright creepy that you are going through people's talk pages and trying to insinuate things. --Rschen7754 02:05, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

My current understanding is that you have a group of editors who are coordinating off-wiki to bring your goal about. Part of this coordination involved writing this RFC. Have I misunderstood?

When this RFC was opened, did you inform the group it had been opened? BilledMammal (talk) 01:20, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure that you realize that most modern RFAs are discussed offwiki well before opening and in the drafting process. Yes, it was drafted with input from a few editors offwiki. I struggled to find time to finish it and Moabdave finished it and opened the RFC, so your last question is a bit odd on several levels. The questions you have asked Moabdave are really none of your business and I am going to close this thread to prevent further harassment. Good day. --Rschen7754 01:47, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
