There was a try for a closure by an involved editor, which I have reverted, as he himself has been the reason for this RFC.--85.74.33.233 (talk) 23:06, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- Indeed, there was. But this anon. ip. left out some essential information. The RfC was opened 7 Jan. by JerryRussell regarding some issues being pushed by this anonymous WP:SPA editor from Athens (self-identified as "AA", currently from the IP address 85.74.33.233). It was poorly formulated, and after a first round of drive-by opinions the discussions tended to flounder; there has been no substantive discussion since 1 Feb. The RfC expired on 7 Feb, and Jerry requested a close on the 10th, but there has been absolutely no action or discussion on the RfC since then. Jerry has been [till now] absent since the 10th, and as no one else seems interested I attempted to close it yesterday with a minimal summary that, aside from "Question #6",
there is no clear consensus either way
. However, "AA" objects (perhaps because Question #6 bears on "balancing" material he wanted to add), and he reverted, with the bare comment "involved editor". I restored, noting that no uninvolved editors have stepped up, which he reverted as "vandalism of the process
", and there we are. - Would someone (preferably without an ax to grind) please step up and put this RfC out of its misery? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:43, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

- Biased?? Like how – that there has been substantive discussion on the RfC since 1 Feb? Perhaps you consider your comment of 6 Feb (about closing the RfC) "substantive"? If you can find any discussion in the RfC since then please show some diffs. Otherwise I'd say you are dead-wrong as to the facts, and should look to your own bias. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 19:12, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- OK, the part that is biased is the part where you say
"It was poorly formulated, and after a first round of drive-by opinions the discussions tended to flounder."
While I've admitted that two of the six questions were not clearly formulated, there was nothing wrong with the other four. And I had to do some outreach to get enough participation in this highly technical RfC, but I did the outreach, we got the participation, and the outcome is clear. - Editors reading this squabbling might be concerned and not want to get involved, thinking that this is a tough close. It's not. The consensus is completely obvious, JJ is the only one who disagrees. But he won't let us close it as involved editors, except on his terms. JerryRussell (talk) 21:15, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

(Initiated 2811 days ago on 27 February 2017) This is a political-advocacy discussion I initiated within the Australian community 3 months ago and has been an active proposal, with widespread publicity within the Australian community (geonotice, mailing lists, mass-message talkpage note) for about a week. 50+ individual user-accounts have expressed opinions and the number of new people commenting has dropped to 1 or <1 per day - no new comments for several days. Although this is shorter than the standard 30 day comment period for on-wiki debates, this particular proposal has external factors affecting its timing.
Even though a simple tally of supporting vs. opposed comments shows a strong preference towards the former, I would like to request a hitherto uninvolved and experienced administrator to provide a formal 'close' decision because of the unusual nature of this proposal - and because a fair assessment of the Australian-wikipedia community's consensus is crucial. [Note: WMF-Legal has also confirmed this is a technically&legally valid proposal in accordance with the relevant WMF policy. Wittylama 14:34, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

- Just a note to the closing admin, when you do close, you should make sure that you specify that it's only for the specific page, a multipage RFC can't be dealt with at one article's talk page. It needs to be in a central location and prominently advertised. Sir Joseph (talk) 01:31, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

The backlog has been growing again, currently some 150 open discussions, the oldest is almost two months old. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:44, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- The backlog has now decreassed to just over 100 open discussions, thanks to User:BrownHairedGirl's recent efforts. Regardless of this, it's pretty important that more admins should regularly close discussions here. Without further admin involvement, we'll be back at 150 in two weeks. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- I agree with Marcocapelle. There is a longstanding need for more admins to undertake this task regularly, and it now seems to be getting critical. BU Rob13 became an admin about a year and did great work closing many discussions, but has now stepped down as an admin, leaving a big gap. Rob's contribution was v welcome, but Marcocapelle is right that we need multiple more admins to help out.
I have been thinking about how to persuade admins more to help, and my best idea so far is to routinely add CFD-close questions to WP:RFA candidates. They are already closely questioned on AFD closures, which ensures that new admins are usually up-to-speed on that. It seems to me that doing the same thing for CFD would encourage more new admins to learn CFD before putting themselves forward, and also maybe tempt some existing admins to join in.
Any thoughts on that idea? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:26, 6 February 2017 (UTC)- @BrownHairedGirl: I doubt that would convince candidates to jump in or convince experienced admins to try their hand at CfD. Instead, it's likely to cause more people to fail RfA ("You don't know WP:OVERCAT? Clearly needs more polish!" despite not wanting to work in CFD). Personally, I see the way forward as a combination of promoting from within (Marcocapelle would qualify for admin if he wanted it) and being more consistent in our activity (when we go a week without closing a discussion, it's hard to catch up. If all active closers close two discussions a day, it's easy.) Unfortunately, the paid editing/outing situation has caused me to largely withdraw from admin areas, so I won't be of much help. ~ Rob13Talk 03:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- @BU Rob13: good points. Will you help me try to persuade Marcocapelle to accept an RFA nomination? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:15, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- :-) User:Fayenatic london tried that as well. Most importantly it wouldn't solve the problem because I'm already closing discussions and we need other people to join. Second, I would surely not pass the exams to become an admin since I'm only active in categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- Marcocapelle, I don't know whether having the tools is useful at CfD, but looking at your contributions history, yes, you'd probably struggle to pass at RfA at this time. But that could be helped by you creating a handful of decent articles. Once done, you could check things out via WP:ORCP. You may be closer to it than you think. If that could be of interest to you, let's take this discussion to your talk page. Schwede66 08:53, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Everything done here is voluntary; nobody is (or can be) forced to take any action whatsoever (people can be forced not to take action, by means of blocks and protections, but that is not the same at all). Also, why do you need censorship? Wikipedia is not censored. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Redrose64: I have every right to ask another user for another decision; it is allowed if my memory serves for a rfc. In this case, there's a consensus for one version aned it should have been respected. It is very strange that you don't address anything concerning the result of the votes. Have you counted ? Why discussing if at the end, someone doesn't respect the result of the opinions expressed. Iennes (talk) 22:58, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- I don't deny that you have the right to ask for another decision. But you cannot demand it. Also, please note that the outcome of an RfC (as with almost all other types of discussion) is not determined by counting votes.

- @The rfc was not about a policy to apply or not, it was about which version one could included. Henceforward, there's a consensus even "rough" for the version with "sometimes"; one can't deny it. I note that you don't comment what I addressed. Seeing the number of rfcs this user took the power to decide today, I wonder if he has passed a lot of time on it. just wondering.

- @Redrose64: I have every right to ask another user for another decision; it is allowed if my memory serves for a rfc. In this case, there's a consensus for one version aned it should have been respected. It is very strange that you don't address anything concerning the result of the votes. Have you counted ? Why discussing if at the end, someone doesn't respect the result of the opinions expressed. Iennes (talk) 22:58, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Iennes: You "demand"? No. That is not how Wikipedia works. Everything done here is voluntary; nobody is (or can be) forced to take any action whatsoever (people can be forced not to take action, by means of blocks and protections, but that is not the same at all). Also, why do you need censorship? Wikipedia is not censored. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- Endorse the decision to close the RfC as No Consensus. I've examined the RfC discussion and it's not about numbers - it's about the weight of each side of the argument. In this case, both sides of the discussion carry equal weight, and No Consensus is the appropriate call. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- @@Exemplo347: you must be kidding. People clearly voted and there's a consensus only one person clearly said "neither" option and one advanced "sometimes" while saying if one version has to be chosen at the end. Most of the users clearly chose the version with "sometimes"; cancelling the whole thing seems extreme. We were two users disagreeing at the beginning and now none of us saw their version included. I think that you are not impartial. I would prefer that this case was seen by an administrator if you don't mind. Iennes (talk) 23:28, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't involved in the discussion in any way, so I'd remind you to Assume Good Faith before accusing someone of not being impartial.

- So you don't just want an administrator now, you want one who often edits on music articles? That's moving the goalposts - and it's not how the Requests for Closure process works. If an administrator happens to come along who disagrees with the closure, they will ask the person who performed the closure to re-open the discussion. You'll just have to wait to see if that happens. In the meantime, it was "no consensus" - so you can carry on using your preferred terminology in the article.

South African Copyright Act amendment advocacy
I would like to know if experienced editor assess the consensus and close the vote for both votes on the same issue (namely on wheather we should use a central notice banner in South Africa to advocate for the amendment of the South African Copyright Act to allow for Freedom of Panorama) on both Afrikaans and English Wikipedia? The vote has been up since late March and has so far had strong support from both communities and seems to include a very large proportion of the South African editors I am aware of.
- South African Copyright Act amendment vote on English Wikipedia (South Africa project portal).
- African Copyright Act amendment vote on Afrikaans Wikipedia - I am not so sure if this is the best place for asking to close the discussion on Afrikaans Wikipedia I dont really know of any where else to ask for that Wiki and I am sure the Afrikaans community would be okay with it.

(Initiated 2779 days ago on 30 March 2017) Would an experienced editor please see what, if any, further conclusions can be drawn from this RfC beyond the historicalisation of the Featured Portals process. Thanks. BencherliteTalk 15:14, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- Bencherlite: Thanks for bringing this up. I agree with you that there's unanimous consensus to tag Featured Portals as historical, but to draw further administrative conclusions from it would be beyond the scope of ANRFC. Since the discussion has itself fallen onto an archive page I don't think formal closure would be necessary.
- But since you asked, as a passerby admin I spotted these possible follow-up actions from this RfC:
- Deprecation actions: Something should be done with existing featured portals, for example giving them a badge of recognition that isn't quite the same as a full featured articles star. This and other actions directly relevant to the deprecation of featured portals would be best done boldly because the project itself fizzled out due to inactivity, so discussion without prior opposition would be unnecessary.
- Maybe discuss the possibility of merging Featured Portals into Featured Lists.
- Some suggested a radical action of deprecating portals altogether. This will also require a separate discussion.
- As far as ANRFC is concerned I'm tagging this as {{not done}}. Deryck C. 17:29, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

{{not done}} As you've been relisting it yourself, after you started the AfD yourself, I think you should let it run its course. An uninvolved admin would have probably closed the AfD after the 3rd relisting as "No Consensus" and usually, it's only uninvolved editors or admins who decide to relist or close an AfD. Exemplo347 (talk)
- {{done}}, before I noticed this was listed here, I saw it at Category:AfD debates relisted 3 or more times. I agree this probably sat open because it was relisted so many times: AfDs don't show up in any of the backlogs until it's been seven days from the last relist. If you relist a stale debate it goes to the top of the queue. Best to just leave it when the result is obvious but you can't close it yourself. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:42, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Following four discussions were sort of heated (two of them definitely are). As none of the discussions did not achieve consensus, they provide a false impression.

- Don't know. Don't care, except that the point I was making was that since these four discussions were not requests for comment, they shouldn't have been listed in the RfCs section of this page, which has four sections, each with a different purpose. They also did not require admin action, and were not pages for deletion. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

- I thought I already made it clear, we only close RfC and RMs on article talk pages, or if a discussion is especially heated (nuclear). An article talk page is not ANI. We don't close a discussion because a participant thinks it gives the wrong impression. Just make a note of why that is at the bottom of the discussion and any reader can make up their own minds. Insulting editors who are rightly confused by your request is not on. El_C 09:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Winged Blades of Godric and Redrose64: you two geniuses should read this: Wikipedia:Closing discussions. —usernamekiran(talk) 08:56, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
@El C: I apologise. I thought by "we" you meant admins. Wikipedia:Closing discussions states discussions on talkpage of articles can be closed if the situation calls for it.
If @Winged Blades of Godric: was confused by my request or didn't know what can be requested here then he shouldn't have used {not done} template so confidently, and the words "don't know, don't care".
And no, I didn't insult anybody.
Anyways, I closed the discussions. I think there is no point continuing this discussion. I humbly request everybody to cease communication here. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- Don't know, don't care was not Winged Blades of Godric—that was Redrose64—who told you pretty much what I said before: we, on Wikipedia, don't ordinarily close regular discussions. Calling them "geniuses" is unhelpful, they were just telling you what any one else would have. Your request is unusual. El_C 01:13, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- So you decide to close them yourself, really? Why should those threads be frozen? What if someone else wants to continue commenting? You provided no convincing reason for this. Also, you're one of the main participants, it is not objective for you to close those yourself(!). This is starting to become disruptive. El_C 09:47, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

I am requesting early closure of Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Layout#Placement of expand language templates (Initiated 2700 days ago on 17 June 2017) which has turned into a slanging match. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:41, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
{{Done}}- I have undone the close. It should be allowed to run the full 30 days, and should be given a proper close by an administrator. Joefromrandb (talk) 00:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

{{archive top}}and{{archive bottom}}templates that had been added by FleetCommand (talk · contribs). As far as the RFC system is concerned, it's still closed. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:51, 29 June 2017 (UTC) - @Joefromrandb:While I am refraining from reverting your revertion; please don't reverse closes unilaterally.There were ample valid grounds for a snow close.And WP:AN is the appropriate venue for discussing closure-related problems!Winged Blades Godric 17:31, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Had an administrator closed it, I would in fact, have opened a discussion. I firmly disagree with "ample grounds for a snow close", and while I've no doubt it was done with the best of intentions, I firmly disagree with a non-administrator responding to a request for administrative action. Joefromrandb (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm an admin. Should I have closed it? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:58, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Is that rhetorical? You know damn well you shouldn't have closed it. I didn't realize you were an admin. That renders my revert rather pointless. By the numbers it's 12–3. It was my hope that the closing admin would look past that, and actually adjudicate this based on actual arguments, which, if one ignores the handful of baseless votes, seem to be fairly even. One vote from an administrator, however, renders all other votes meaningless, right or wrong, and is, sadly, "ample grounds for a snow close". Joefromrandb (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, it was rhetorical. But if I hadn't already !voted, I could probably have closed it in order to stop the escalation which was already in WP:NPA territory. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Joefromrandb:--Whatever is posted at this noticeboard(which is a sub-board of WP:AN) is typically meant for administrators.But that does not exclude any editor from taking an action on the issues; esp. if that could be performed without the use of any tool specifically provided to the sysops.Also, see this RFC.Thanks!Winged Blades Godric 08:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- It was clearly a malicious reversion. This reverting person is one of the only two people who disagrees with the others in that discussion. So, he is simply prolonging the inevitable as a last act of defiance before the consensus eventually changes Wikipedia to the way he does not like. I think a closure by an uninvolved editor must never be reversed by an involved editor, at least, not without a round of communication. FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 15:02, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

{{done}} As an editor with no prior involvement in the issue, I reviewed the RfC and the related prior discussions ne novo and find that the clear consensus for placement of these templates is at the top of the article. See close for full rationale. While I am confident experienced involved editors are familiar with WP:CLOSECHALLENGE, I am linking to this for those who may not have recently reviewed it.
