Hello, and thanks for tagging this for notability. 4 years later, it's unresolved. You may want to take it to WP:N/N or AfD. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 22:22, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey Bongo--real life keeping you occupied? I hope things are going well for you. If you have a moment, look at that AfD and tell me if that doesn't sound familiar one way or another. Happy days, and see you around, Drmies (talk) 23:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Please learn courtesy and reading comprehension.I don't know what got under your skin to make you come through and slam the Tom Steyer talk page like you did, but you need to take that attitude and put it somewhere besides Wikipedia. Contributions like this one add nothing to the discussion. Jsharpminor (talk) 10:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
About 3OsYou say here, "I reviewed the guidelines for providing a third opinion and oddly, there is no suggestion that third opinions make reference to Wikipedia policies and guidelines—but that's probably because it was assumed by the authors (and most readers)." Actually, the original concept is that a 3O is about the quickest and lightest opinion that one can give. One particularly wise Third Opinion Wikipedian, RegentsPark, once succinctly put the purpose of Third Opinions like this, "It's sort of like if you're having an argument on the street in front of City Hall and turn to a passer-by to ask 'hey, is it true that the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale?'." It's left up to each 3O'er to decide how much further beyond that level, if any, that they want to go. Some just say, "I agree with editor X" while others enter into what amounts to a full-blown informal mediation. Most of us plop down about halfway between those extremes and try to give a well-reasoned and well-documented analysis, but the forum allows a good deal of latitude. That's especially true since 3O's carry no authority or weight and arguably do not even "count" towards consensus, but are merely intended to be just that, a third opinion which the disputants are entirely free to accept or reject.
