Should the place of death be "The Bronx, New York, US" or "The Bronx, New York, New York, US"? 16:43, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Oh come on. Why do you need an RfC for this? Do you really want to drag it out for thirty days, with Legobot sending messages to people who either care not one bit or who would say "The Bronx, New York". Nothing more is necessary: we're not providing a postal address, and if people really don't know where New York is, they can at least click the link. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:50, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm puzzled too, discuss first, seek WP:DR, and maybe then go to an RFC if there's still no consensus. I don't see what's wrong with just The Bronx, New York. However, at least there would be an outside chance of understanding the reasoning as to why more specificity might be needed if anyone had bothered to discuss this first. 74.73.230.72 (talk) 18:48, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@They call me the Big Pill: I followed you here from the other article because you seemed like a pushy confrontational "new" user and then you started edit warring. I think this should probably be trimmed all the way to "Brooklyn, New York". So let's start again, I'll AGF here. I don't think it was necessary to start an RFC before any discussion on the talk page and as Redrose64 indicates this is probably of a waste of people's time. —DIYeditor (talk) 17:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DIYeditor, you have that ass-backwards. You started edit-warring, blindly reverting something you clearly know absolutely nothing about. First, the name of the place is the Bronx, not Brooklyn. Second, the article said "The Bronx, New York", an editor changed it to "The Bronx, New York, New York",[1] and I changed it back to the correct wording. Then you and your fellow tag-teamer came in like bats out of hell and kept restoring what everybody acknowledges is wrong: "The Bronx, New York, New York". Why? To be honest, you both seem like first-class assholes. It's evident that neither of you bother to look at an article's history before you start undoing other editor's correct changes. Why not?

I guess I was "triggered" by your actions on the other article, I apologize. My mistake. Let's close the RFC and change it to "The Bronx, New York" no "U.S.". Just discussing something like this on the talk page is usually enough. —DIYeditor (talk) 06:16, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
