From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm a frequent closer of RfCs, RMs, TfDs, and other consensus discussions. Sometimes these are in contentious topic areas. I only close discussions where I'm uninvolved and don't have any underlying feelings or biases that I think would prejudice my reading of the discussion. Still, with recognition of the fact that a large margin of closers' discretion exists, I'm creating this log for transparency and record-keeping purposes so my closing can be easily audited by any interested editor.

This list is probably nowhere near complete, as this was created retroactively and it's somewhat difficult to find every close I've ever done without inspecting every edit I've done. I've also deliberately excluded necessarily boring entries, such as hundreds of routine TfDs or SNOW/uncontentious RfCs.
