Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Caste/Archive 4#RfC: Does the article minimize the centrality of India to the notion of caste? (initiated 4 September 2012)?

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Prometheus (film)#RfC: Is poor scientific awareness in movie Prometheus screenplay relevant? (initiated 19 November 2012)? The 30-day RfC template has expired and there are concerns raised about whether the RfC was even properly formulated in the first place. The discussion is largely dominated by 2 editors arguing back and forth with each other; input from other contributors seems to be minimal at this point and it seems a formal closure is needed. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 16:44, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor please review the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts#Cleaning up the format and offer their opinion and offer suggestions for next steps? It appears that the initial call for comments there didn't yield many after a couple of weeks so one editor viewed that as approval and has been making the changes. This was challenged by another editor and more comments have just recently been left on this. There's an edit war about this and it's a bit testy so outside review and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Ravensfire ( talk) 18:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

I opened this RM close to a month ago, it was immediately supported by the page's creator and only significant contributor. However, not long after it was opposed by a dynamic IP with no prior edit history, who suddenly appeared after User:JoshuSasori was indef blocked for harassing/threatening me. The IP has been continuing to harass me on other articles, to the point where one has been protected and several of his/her IPs have been blocked. The move has received no other opposition. elvenscout742 ( talk) 01:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Could an uninvolved editor close this move discussion that's been open for well over a month? The nom has been indef blocked for disruptive behaviour (on this and other pages), and 3 have voted against it. 2 voted for, but one is an IP with no prior contributions and is under investigation as a possible block-evading sockpuppet of the nom.

This needs to be stopped. This is not a policy discussion, it is a discussion of whether I and another admin should be in trouble right now. There is no chance of any actual policy change coming from this because one has not even been proposed, it is just a way to keep talking about a minor incident. All ll the parties actually involved were done with it days ago.It does not need a closing statement, it just needs to be closed and preferably hatted as well.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons? Please also consider John Carter ( talk · contribs)'s comment at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons#Possible wrapup:
I think that it would make sense, sometime in the future, to have the request for comment here be gone over by someone, possibly uninvolved, who could "boil down" the various comments into clear proposals.
This could facilitate a Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons 2, which would have a clearer scope and outcome. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 00:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

If an admin could take a look at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment#Review and determine if there is consensus it would be appreciated.

We have started a discussion about 3 or 4 weeks ago on whether or not http://www.airlineroute.net is to be used as a reliable source for adding new routes from airlines and airports. We have tried to come up with a consensus but the discussion seems to have gone stale. Editors seem to have different opinions on it and we just seem to get to a conclusion. This was also discussed numerous times in the past as well and no conclusion either. Snoozlepet ( talk) 17:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:BP#Request for comment (initiated 16 December 2012)? The original question posed was:
How the 'Environmental record', 'Accidents', and 'Political record' sections of this article, taking account the existing main articles of subsections of these sections, should be cleaned-up and/or developed to ensure their compliance with different Wikipedia policies, inter alia WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE, WP:SOAP
Another editor rephrased the question to be: "How about, 'Are the above WP policies being properly applied to this article?'" Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Hezekiah's Tunnel#RfC: categorization (initiated 1 December 2012)? The question posed was: "Should this page be included in Category:Tunnels in Israel?" Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Editing the article is under special restrictions (please see top of the talk page) so an admin should close this discussion (to prevent any misinterpretation) and copy the proposed text into the locked article. The consensus seems well established with an !vote of 5 supports and 1 or 2 opposes. One of the opposes is pretty straight-forward, he wants to solve every problem in the article first before dealing with this one, this strikes me as impossible and against common practice at Wikipedia. The 2nd oppose hasn't actually said "oppose", in fact he has said he doesn't want to derail anything, but he has put in walls and walls of text (about 30 long edits on the page - sorry) which simply don't make any sense to me.

Consensus is pretty well established, voting died down about 4 days ago. The phrase "If the image is of a living person it must only be used for the top item" would need to be removed from the instructions at WP:ITN. -- Jayron 32 20:50, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Reading the detail of comments so far, there seems to be a strong consensus for the deletion of the article title - the subject in question simply never existed. The broader discussion about whether aspects of the subject can/should be covered in more detail elsewhere can (and will) be continued on relevant talk pages. I cannot see a single argument for keeping the article, just four variations of delete with a variety of comments about what should happen after that. But the complexity of the initial discussion, I think, has discouraged further contributions and it has now been relisted for a second time. Some guidance would be appreciated. Stalwart 111 03:29, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

More than two weeks of discussion and we came to a seeming consensus over this yet two participants still refuse to concede the point.

May we request an administrator or experienced editor, whichever is required; to come review and close this discussion and voting. The question is: Should the Simple Wiki be put at top of the languages bar and this has been open since December 29, 2012. Needless to say, I thank in advance the volunteer who takes this on. There is much discussion and many votes in both camps. I'm requesting as an interested party who took part, because the last comments from yesterday seem to indicate we are ready to close, but the opener asked how to take that step. I will post back there that I have requested this here. All the best Fylbecatulous talk 17:51, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Traditional marriage#RfC (initiated 3 March 2013)? The last comment was made on 14 March 2013. The opening poster wrote:
the term "traditional marriage" as used in discussions of legal definitions of marriage in western, predominantly/historically christian, countries -- and, specifically, the United States -- is not a neutral term and should not be used without explanation/contextualization. note that previous extensive discussion of ths issue, along with suggestions for contextualization and alternate terms, can be found on the Traditional marriage talk page.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact (initiated 16 December 2012)? The opening poster wrote:
A previous discussion on the featured-article status of this article resulted in a refusal of this status primarily because of a dispute regarding whether or not the title made assumptions whether or not extraterrestrial contact had occurred, or whether the reference to cultural impact implied that the article should only discuss arts, literature, and society, as opposed to science and technology.

At first glance, I thought I'd close this myself. The RfC has ran for a month, and there's definitely not consensus for the changes proposed. WP:NOTAVOTE, but editors who have commented are against the changes 12-15, with essentially no one neutral. So the question is more whether there's no consensus or actual consensus against. The real reason I didn't close, though, is that the most recent comment was today (though the previous one was two days ago).

There has been a move discussion for nearly a month now to move dot the i to Dot the I. Can someone have a look and determine whether it’s possible to take action? To summarize the arguments: Some want it moved because most sources have it capitalized, and because of Wikipedia’s naming conventions. Some want it to stay as is because a few sources have it in lowercase, and because only the lowercase “i” has a dot. Thanks. — Frungi ( talk) 18:28, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

This is a protracted and sometimes heated discussion regarding the renaming of multiple articles in a sensitive area. An administrator wholly uninvolved with articles on suicides, with excellent experience of article naming conventions and notability of topics is required, together with the genuine ability to see and understand both sides of the discussion and present a closing rationale that shows that the discussion has been taken into account is required. Imperfect closure is likely to lead to a request for a review by anyone involved in the discussion. Because the area is sensitive, a genuinely sensitive rationale is required to seek to ensure that further distress to those involved with the article topic (off Wikipedia) is minimised.
There are many subsections to the discussion, which is scheduled to close today. Entrenched views exist, and the discussion has become circular, with the same arguments being propounded by the same editors over and over again, but in subtly different flavours. The reason for asking for prompt closure is to try to get editors back to creating an encyclopaedia, not defending a position on naming. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 07:19, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced admininstrator assess the consensus and close as resolved or abandoned
the RfC at
Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes. This may be a difficult closure due to the editor issues involved and advice regarding the behavior of the two main editors,
User:Wayne and
User:Phoenix and Winslow, would be appreciated.
This RfC has been somewhat compromised by a supporting editor canvassing a large number of editors and asking them to vote in
Support. This editor was warned not to canvass
[4]
[5]
[6] but continued, justifying it as a request to vote per
WP:FRS with no knowledge on his part as to how they would vote. This editor has also posted a competing RfC with the question reframed to encourage a "support" vote.
[7] Three editors (two supporters and one who voted to abandon) want the RfC abandoned due to the above issues rather than have it closed as resolved. However, despite these problems only two of the canvassed editors voted (both in support) which has not significantly impacted on the survey result which is currently seven votes for oppose, three votes for support and one vote for abandon with no further votes made in the last seven days. Closure will require significant patience on the part of the closing admin as the discussion currently runs to 25 pages.

This has developed into a long and sometimes heated discussion about Wikipedia's non-free content policy and whether a non-free image should be used to illustrate an art gallery's collection. Whilst several of the contributors are experienced editors, the positions seem to be entrenched. The discussion's outcome will have ramifications on other articles about visual arts. An uninvolved admin's input may help to resolve the discussion.

It would be appreciated if an uninvolved editor would close this informal RfC (opened 23 March) regarding whether Will Beback's indefinite ban should be lifted. The arbitration committee imposed the ban in February 2012, and last month rejected Will's appeal against it. The issue may proceed to a formal request to the committee, so it would be helpful to have a summary of the RfC's consensus. Many thanks, SlimVirgin (talk) 16:05, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Highly controversial and contentious article, with a more controversial section.

I disagree that my comments are WP:STICK when new sources have been added and continue to be added. At some point there needs to have a change and allow the article to exist. I am asking for some insight and stating what this point is, who, what and how much is needed, with the close as it pertains to this article. Sorry if I am not clear. If the requirement is to raise Euler from the dead I see that we have issues that require someone else to work on this article. If it is some level that is reasonable that can be worked upon, or allow time to act so be it. But, this is a fringe article and there is a lower level of the need of notability, I just don't know what it is for this article and request that it be stated. No, it is not a dead horse, but maybe the rebirth of a dead human and his peers. As Joseph Lindenberg stated "They may insist Euler actually write something about it that will pass peer review. Ehhh... better bring two shovels. All of Euler's peers are dead too" John W. Nicholson ( talk) 18:24, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

The subject of the AfD was moved and the redirect was deleted. The subject of the AfD is now the move target - 2,300,675. I think the AfD can be snow-closed but I'm concerned a non-admin will see the redlink and good-faith NAC it without realising that 2,300,675 will still need to be deleted. Anyone want to bury this potential mistake-magnet? Cheers, Stalwart 111 02:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

This RFC was on the splitting and re-creation of the Dragonball Z article. The discussion originally was on the Talk:Dragon Ball page, where after policy concerns were cited the debate died. Additional Supports are at Talk:Dragon Ball Z, which were made from the confusing way the in-article link to discuss the RFC was done. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 20:33, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
This RFC is a little complex. The issue was whether the Anime and Manga Manual of Style can impose rules for article splits.

No activity in the last 5 days at the pump. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 20:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

The decision to create a CSD criterion for stale AfC drafts was handled in a previous RfC, but there are six outstanding questions about the specifics, most of which have a fairly clear consensus: 1) How long an AfC draft is abandoned before becoming eligible. 2) Whether it applies to all AfC drafts or only a subset. 3) Whether the quality of the draft should effect eligibility. 4) Whether it applies in all namespaces. 5) Whether tagging and deletion tasks should be bot-automated. 6) Whether it applies to articles in the WP:Article Incubator.

Since the proposal to issue a topic ban on myself was initiated, I have not been able to edit due to the hostile and abusive environment created by the proposal. Please don't tell me it wasn't. I had originally approached the group in good faith with a complaint against someone else. This isn't a game here. I reported an abusive environment and people continued to harass me, and were further emboldened by this proposal. It is pretty clear that this is a very flawed, if not completely broken system of dealing with sanctions. I lost a lot of respect for Wikipedia, in general, because of it. I maintained my innocence from the very beginning, and was roundly harassed for doing so. Please close this discussion so that I can have some closure, and feel that I can continue editing without the threat of completely unjustified sanctions. I think that the fact that this wasn't officially closed is just another example of how the process of issuing sanctions is not taken seriously at all, and results in a jailyard, kindergarten, or kangaroo-court type of situation. Neither proposal achieved a consensus. Please close them as such. Greg Bard ( talk) 01:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I request that this RFC be closed. The RFC started 30 March and involves three points. Point 1: There is no consensus to remove the honorific "Pope" from the lead sentence. A related discussion at WT:NCCL#Pope_as_part_of_the_name was closed recently with concensus "against changing the naming convention for articles about Roman Catholic popes, and also specifically against applying the naming conventions for European sovereigns to Popes." Point 2: There is consensus (no opposition) to use the construction "Pope {name} was the head of the Catholic Church from ..." to address the issue of redundancy. Point 3: There is consensus that the English name (or name) field should omit the honorific "Pope". Bede735 ( talk) 12:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Both of these conversations deal with the same issue. They seem to be at consensus to me. I would ask that an uninvolved admin take a look at it, and close each discussion with a consensus. Casprings ( talk) 19:56, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
This debate has gone on far too long on replacing an awful article title with a good one.

The discussion began exactly three weeks ago and was added to the RfC a day later. After a week or so of discussion, it has since been quiet and there seems to have been no requested comments from other editors. The context of the issue serves to show that the discussion needs to be closed formally with a definitive result — it can't be left unresolved like it was pre-discussion. A majority of the original editors involved supported Solution A as the accepted consensus, however, I'll leave that decision up to the administrator. ~ Jedi94 ( talk) 17:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Can someone please close this completely inappropriate quasi- RFC/U started on an editor's talk page and perhaps strongly admonish the editor who started it? That editor has been accusing the other of having a conflict of interest for the better part of 6 months (having joined WP to AFD the article where the alleged COI exists). The one editor who has misguidedly commented got this for his trouble. Nothing good can come of this and it's about the fourth "forum" the editor has "shopped" in an attempt to expose the other's supposed conflict. Stalwart 111 14:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Not done I've now looked at this in more detail. In my opinion, none of these discussions, as far as I can see, is structured in a way to allow a formal close. The goalposts are shifting, and new information is being added/deleted in the middle, so they are just your classic talk page arguments. I think more discussion is needed there, until you get to a point of firmly established positions A or B, and if you can't sort it, then you can bring an RFC or other editors in, and have them weigh in on options. But in looking at them, I didn't see anything that would benefit from some sort of formal close right now. User:Casprings is reminded to not start RFCs arbitrarily every time they have a minor content dispute - it is disruptive - RFC should only be used when broad community input is needed. Another path, instead of RFCs, is notification on relevant project boards and village pump to get more eyes on an article.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 21:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Far from unanimous but consensus (both numerical and in discussion) seems to lean towards support for the proposed change in policy. I am obviously an involved party. This needs an uninvolved admin to close the discussion and judge whether the suggested modifications to the protection policy have community consensus; if they do, the policy needs to be updated to reflect that consensus (I don't mind doing that part if the closer prefers, just ping me.)

In my opinion, this was a failed exercise. The purpose of WP:RFC/U is to present evidence that an editor has a behavior problem, and convince him to voluntarily recognize that he has a problem, and resolve to improve his behavior. From the beginning, it was made clear that a central part of the behavior problem was tendentious editing, where each individual edit may be seen as possibly defensible, but the cumulative effect of these edits — the "totality of circumstances" — indicates that the editor is POV-pushing. Sadly, though several editors devoted a lot of time and patience presenting abundant documented evidence, the editor in question and his team of "defense Wikilawyers" set about defending each and every individual edit, never acknowledging that it was the cumulative effect of all those edits that was the problem. This case is scheduled to go back to ArbCom on July 1. |

Request an uninvolved admin to close the discussion at Category_talk:American_novelists#Stalemate. Consensus at the talk page was not to hold a formal RFC on this question, but this discussion linked was nonetheless broadly notified at various relevant wikiprojects.
At issue is a stalemate around categorization of American novelists - some think they should be fully diffused, others disagree, so the result is now the head category has only 82, very famous novelists. I think most people agree the head cat should be empty, or contain all novelists. Both sides also seem to agree on the need for a broader RFC on the Category:Writers tree, but I'd like to at least close this one out so we can break the stalemate and move on to the RFC, especially given intense media scrutiny around the contents of this specific category, it doesn't look good to have only 82 names there.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk)

If consensus isn't don't move, I don't think we're ever going to get anything other than no consensus. elvenscout742 ( talk) 08:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

This needs to be stopped. This is not a policy discussion, it is a discussion of whether I and another admin should be in trouble right now. There is no chance of any actual policy change coming from this because one has not even been proposed, it is just a way to keep talking about a minor incident. All ll the parties actually involved were done with it days ago.It does not need a closing statement, it just needs to be closed and preferably hatted as well.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons? Please also consider John Carter ( talk · contribs)'s comment at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons#Possible wrapup:
I think that it would make sense, sometime in the future, to have the request for comment here be gone over by someone, possibly uninvolved, who could "boil down" the various comments into clear proposals.
This could facilitate a Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons 2, which would have a clearer scope and outcome. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 00:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

We have started a discussion about 3 or 4 weeks ago on whether or not http://www.airlineroute.net is to be used as a reliable source for adding new routes from airlines and airports. We have tried to come up with a consensus but the discussion seems to have gone stale. Editors seem to have different opinions on it and we just seem to get to a conclusion. This was also discussed numerous times in the past as well and no conclusion either. Snoozlepet ( talk) 17:07, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:BP#Request for comment (initiated 16 December 2012)? The original question posed was:
How the 'Environmental record', 'Accidents', and 'Political record' sections of this article, taking account the existing main articles of subsections of these sections, should be cleaned-up and/or developed to ensure their compliance with different Wikipedia policies, inter alia WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE, WP:SOAP

Editing the article is under special restrictions (please see top of the talk page) so an admin should close this discussion (to prevent any misinterpretation) and copy the proposed text into the locked article. The consensus seems well established with an !vote of 5 supports and 1 or 2 opposes. One of the opposes is pretty straight-forward, he wants to solve every problem in the article first before dealing with this one, this strikes me as impossible and against common practice at Wikipedia. The 2nd oppose hasn't actually said "oppose", in fact he has said he doesn't want to derail anything, but he has put in walls and walls of text (about 30 long edits on the page - sorry) which simply don't make any sense to me.

Consensus is pretty well established, voting died down about 4 days ago. The phrase "If the image is of a living person it must only be used for the top item" would need to be removed from the instructions at WP:ITN. -- Jayron 32 20:50, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Reading the detail of comments so far, there seems to be a strong consensus for the deletion of the article title - the subject in question simply never existed. The broader discussion about whether aspects of the subject can/should be covered in more detail elsewhere can (and will) be continued on relevant talk pages. I cannot see a single argument for keeping the article, just four variations of delete with a variety of comments about what should happen after that. But the complexity of the initial discussion, I think, has discouraged further contributions and it has now been relisted for a second time. Some guidance would be appreciated.

May we request an administrator or experienced editor, whichever is required; to come review and close this discussion and voting. The question is: Should the Simple Wiki be put at top of the languages bar and this has been open since December 29, 2012. Needless to say, I thank in advance the volunteer who takes this on. There is much discussion and many votes in both camps. I'm requesting as an interested party who took part, because the last comments from yesterday seem to indicate we are ready to close, but the opener asked how to take that step. I will post back there that I have requested this here. All the best Fylbecatulous talk 17:51, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

At first glance, I thought I'd close this myself. The RfC has ran for a month, and there's definitely not consensus for the changes proposed. WP:NOTAVOTE, but editors who have commented are against the changes 12-15, with essentially no one neutral. So the question is more whether there's no consensus or actual consensus against. The real reason I didn't close, though, is that the most recent comment was today (though the previous one was two days ago).

RfC open since November 2009. A recent MfD closed as "Wrong venue" is also relevant: Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs_Cover-versions_and_multiple-renditions. Underlying question is whether cover versions of songs ever deserve their own articles. Secondary issue is whether the Wikproject section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs#Cover-versions.2Fmultiple-renditions should be moved to WP:NM, since it looks like the Wikiproject guideline is being observed with the force of content policy. Redirects WP:SONGCOVER and WP:COVERDISCUSS will also need to be tidied up. -- Surturz ( talk) 04:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a protracted and sometimes heated discussion regarding the renaming of multiple articles in a sensitive area. An administrator wholly uninvolved with articles on suicides, with excellent experience of article naming conventions and notability of topics is required, together with the genuine ability to see and understand both sides of the discussion and present a closing rationale that shows that the discussion has been taken into account is required. Imperfect closure is likely to lead to a request for a review by anyone involved in the discussion. Because the area is sensitive, a genuinely sensitive rationale is required to seek to ensure that further distress to those involved with the article topic (off Wikipedia) is minimised.
There are many subsections to the discussion, which is scheduled to close today. Entrenched views exist, and the discussion has become circular, with the same arguments being propounded by the same editors over and over again, but in subtly different flavours. The reason for asking for prompt closure is to try to get editors back to creating an encyclopaedia, not defending a position on naming. Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 07:19, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced admininstrator assess the consensus and close as resolved or abandoned
the RfC at
Talk:Ugg boots trademark disputes. This may be a difficult closure due to the editor issues involved and advice regarding the behavior of the two main editors,
User:Wayne and
User:Phoenix and Winslow, would be appreciated.
This RfC has been somewhat compromised by a supporting editor canvassing a large number of editors and asking them to vote in
Support. This editor was warned not to canvass
[4]
[5]
[6] but continued, justifying it as a request to vote per
WP:FRS with no knowledge on his part as to how they would vote. This editor has also posted a competing RfC with the question reframed to encourage a "support" vote.
[7] Three editors (two supporters and one who voted to abandon) want the RfC abandoned due to the above issues rather than have it closed as resolved. However, despite these problems only two of the canvassed editors voted (both in support) which has not significantly impacted on the survey result which is currently seven votes for oppose, three votes for support and one vote for abandon with no further votes made in the last seven days. Closure will require significant patience on the part of the closing admin as the discussion currently runs to 25 pages.

This has developed into a long and sometimes heated discussion about Wikipedia's non-free content policy and whether a non-free image should be used to illustrate an art gallery's collection. Whilst several of the contributors are experienced editors, the positions seem to be entrenched. The discussion's outcome will have ramifications on other articles about visual arts. An uninvolved admin's input may help to resolve the discussion.

I disagree that my comments are WP:STICK when new sources have been added and continue to be added. At some point there needs to have a change and allow the article to exist. I am asking for some insight and stating what this point is, who, what and how much is needed, with the close as it pertains to this article. Sorry if I am not clear. If the requirement is to raise Euler from the dead I see that we have issues that require someone else to work on this article. If it is some level that is reasonable that can be worked upon, or allow time to act so be it. But, this is a fringe article and there is a lower level of the need of notability, I just don't know what it is for this article and request that it be stated. No, it is not a dead horse, but maybe the rebirth of a dead human and his peers. As Joseph Lindenberg stated "They may insist Euler actually write something about it that will pass peer review. Ehhh... better bring two shovels. All of Euler's peers are dead too" John W. Nicholson ( talk) 18:24, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

This is a request for a closure of the discussion of the G13 CSD criteria discussion. The decision to create a CSD criterion for stale AfC drafts was handled in a previous RfC, but there are six outstanding questions about the specifics, most of which have a fairly clear consensus: 1) How long an AfC draft is abandoned before becoming eligible. 2) Whether it applies to all AfC drafts or only a subset. 3) Whether the quality of the draft should effect eligibility. 4) Whether it applies in all namespaces. 5) Whether tagging and deletion tasks should be bot-automated. 6) Whether it applies to articles in the WP:Article Incubator.

Since the proposal to issue a topic ban on myself was initiated, I have not been able to edit due to the hostile and abusive environment created by the proposal. Please don't tell me it wasn't. I had originally approached the group in good faith with a complaint against someone else. This isn't a game here. I reported an abusive environment and people continued to harass me, and were further emboldened by this proposal. It is pretty clear that this is a very flawed, if not completely broken system of dealing with sanctions. I lost a lot of respect for Wikipedia, in general, because of it. I maintained my innocence from the very beginning, and was roundly harassed for doing so. Please close this discussion so that I can have some closure, and feel that I can continue editing without the threat of completely unjustified sanctions. I think that the fact that this wasn't officially closed is just another example of how the process of issuing sanctions is not taken seriously at all, and results in a jailyard, kindergarten, or kangaroo-court type of situation. Neither proposal achieved a consensus. Please close them as such. Greg Bard ( talk) 01:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I request that this RFC be closed. The RFC started 30 March and involves three points. Point 1: There is no consensus to remove the honorific "Pope" from the lead sentence. A related discussion at WT:NCCL#Pope_as_part_of_the_name was closed recently with concensus "against changing the naming convention for articles about Roman Catholic popes, and also specifically against applying the naming conventions for European sovereigns to Popes." Point 2: There is consensus (no opposition) to use the construction "Pope {name} was the head of the Catholic Church from ..." to address the issue of redundancy. Point 3: There is consensus that the English name (or name) field should omit the honorific "Pope". Bede735 ( talk) 12:40, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

The discussion began exactly three weeks ago and was added to the RfC a day later. After a week or so of discussion, it has since been quiet and there seems to have been no requested comments from other editors. The context of the issue serves to show that the discussion needs to be closed formally with a definitive result — it can't be left unresolved like it was pre-discussion. A majority of the original editors involved supported Solution A as the accepted consensus, however, I'll leave that decision up to the administrator. ~ Jedi94 ( talk) 17:22, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Not done I've now looked at this in more detail. In my opinion, none of these discussions, as far as I can see, is structured in a way to allow a formal close. The goalposts are shifting, and new information is being added/deleted in the middle, so they are just your classic talk page arguments. I think more discussion is needed there, until you get to a point of firmly established positions A or B, and if you can't sort it, then you can bring an RFC or other editors in, and have them weigh in on options. But in looking at them, I didn't see anything that would benefit from some sort of formal close right now. User:Casprings is reminded to not start RFCs arbitrarily every time they have a minor content dispute - it is disruptive - RFC should only be used when broad community input is needed. Another path, instead of RFCs, is notification on relevant project boards and village pump to get more eyes on an article.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 21:30, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
WP:RM is designed to have all requested moves either relisted or closed before reaching the backlog. See WP:RMCI for closing instructions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apteva ( talk • contribs) 01:17, 23 May 2013 UTC
There is already a consensus... or not... but I want people to look through comments before making conclusions and counting votes. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:11, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
User_talk:Wwwhatsup#RFC was closed a few days ago (above) and the same editor decided to extend his forum-shopping by taking the other to RFC/U and the EL Noticeboard. The RFC is beyond it's 48 hours, wasn't transcluded properly anyway and has a near-zero chance of getting a 2nd certifier, despite some lovely canvassing to find someone. Can someone please put an end to this? Stalwart 111 14:26, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Far from unanimous but consensus (both numerical and in discussion) seems to lean towards support for the proposed change in policy. I am obviously an involved party. This needs an uninvolved admin to close the discussion and judge whether the suggested modifications to the protection policy have community consensus; if they do, the policy needs to be updated to reflect that consensus (I don't mind doing that part if the closer prefers, just ping me.) Also, don't forget to unlist from WP:CENT once closed. RfC has been open for a month. :) · Salvidrim!· ✉ 21:48, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

It's been a week since the RfC's term expired, and discussion appears to have ended. Requesting an uninvolved user to close and summarize the discussion. Hey Mid ( contribs) 19:13, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
This RFC/U was opened a month ago, and discussion has become inactive for some time now, so I respectfully request an uninvolved admin or senior editor to measure the consensus and close it.
herein lie opinions and personal attacks not relevant to the request for closure.

In my opinion, this was a failed exercise. The purpose of WP:RFC/U is to present evidence that an editor has a behavior problem, and convince him to voluntarily recognize that he has a problem, and resolve to improve his behavior. From the beginning, it was made clear that a central part of the behavior problem was tendentious editing, where each individual edit may be seen as possibly defensible, but the cumulative effect of these edits — the "totality of circumstances" — indicates that the editor is POV-pushing. Sadly, though several editors devoted a lot of time and patience presenting abundant documented evidence, the editor in question and his team of "defense Wikilawyers" set about defending each and every individual edit, never acknowledging that it was the cumulative effect of all those edits that was the problem. This case is scheduled to go back to ArbCom on July 1. |
Please measure consensus and close this failed attempt at a community based solution. regards .... Phoenix and Winslow ( talk) 19:37, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
No activity since 1 June 2013. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:27, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
I am requesting an admin to close this RfC which has been open for the last few months. The RfC is in relation to a dispute over a bio's nationality that was changed to English without consensus. The editors contesting this change, including myself, attempted to offer a compromise to the editors who made the change without consensus but to no avail as there is an entrenchment. The discussion has now moved to dispute resolution, hopefully it will be resolved there without further escalation necessary. ÓCorcráin ( talk) 21:02, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Request for uninvolved editor to speedy close this disruptive RFC per WP:SNOW started by an apparent single-purpose IP that has been blocked for canvassing. -- B2 C 21:57, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

It has now been open over a month, and has mostly died down. Consensus looks fairly clear to my very involved eyes, but it would be good if we could have a formal closure from an uninvolved administrator. J Milburn ( talk) 19:26, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
This RFC/U was opened a month ago, so I am requesting an uninvolved admin to gauge the consensus and close it. BOZ ( talk) 21:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Request an uninvolved admin to close the discussion at Category_talk:American_novelists#Stalemate. Consensus at the talk page was not to hold a formal RFC on this question, but this discussion linked was nonetheless broadly notified at various relevant wikiprojects.
At issue is a stalemate around categorization of American novelists - some think they should be fully diffused, others disagree, so the result is now the head category has only 82, very famous novelists. I think most people agree the head cat should be empty, or contain all novelists. Both sides also seem to agree on the need for a broader RFC on the Category:Writers tree, but I'd like to at least close this one out so we can break the stalemate and move on to the RFC, especially given intense media scrutiny around the contents of this specific category, it doesn't look good to have only 82 names there.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk)
Could a helpful person please close the RfC at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Linking subjects to books at your local library (Forward to Libraries)? It ran a full 30 days. The closer may want to review Template talk:Library resources box and also Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 April 30#Template:Library resources box prior to closing. Thanks for the help. 64.40.54.196 ( talk) 02:17, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Although outcome clear this still needs formal admin closing particularly in regards to whether or not it bears on another 100 articles affected and whether another 1 or 100 RfCs are needed. Thank you. In ictu oculi ( talk) 08:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
