Tvx1 If you feel the consensus is for the change (or is obvious), there doesn't have to be a formal closure; you can just do the change. Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
I prefer a formal close. I see a broad consensus, but since I proposed the change in the first place it would be a rather inappropriate if I’d claim a consenus in favor of it.Tvx1 22:01, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

(Initiated 2514 days ago on 11 January 2018) This is a RS inquiry that has only been open 24 hours, so I hesitate to come here, but I think is pretty cut and dry (plus, in 3 more days it will have cycled into the archives so there doesn't seem to be a benefit in waiting a full month as with a RfC). Could an experienced editor review it to determine if there is or is not a consensus that a government agency's own website is a reliable source for quotes directly attributed to that agency? Thanks, in advance. Chetsford (talk) 22:41, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

I object to this request for closure. More input is needed to gain a fair consensus from the community. 24 hours only? No. It does not seem so cut and dry based on the few responses so far. As they say, Wikipedia has no deadline. What is the rush? Lacypaperclip (talk) 22:57, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. It does get auto-archived in three days, though, so - given the backlog - by the time someone gets around to this it probably will have received all the feedback it's likely to receive. And, since this is really quite a minor point (should a reliability tag appear at the end of one sentence in a single article) it might not necessarily be a good expenditure of energy to drag this out for too long?

It seems to have been archived without being closed. Not sure what the proper procedure is here. AdA&D 21:22, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Archiving bots usually don't care whether a discussion is ongoing or not, nor if it is formally closed or not, what they generally look for is the time elapsed since the last post to that thread being more than x hours or days ago. In the case of Wikipedia:Village pump (policy), which is a high-traffic page, threads are archived by lowercase sigmabot III (talk · contribs) after 14 days of inactivity. In this case, the last post to the thread was at 16:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC) as far as I can make out; the thread was archived at 01:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC), slightly over 14 days later.
One archiving bot - ClueBot III (talk · contribs) - can be configured to only archive threads that are marked in some way; for instance, here at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure, the bot will archive any thread which contains one or more of the following strings: "{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}}"; "{{resolved"; "{{Resolved"; "{{done"; "{{Done"; "{{DONE"; "{{already done"; "{{Already done"; "{{not done"; "{{Not done"; "{{close"; or "{{Close".
But did the discussion at VPP really need closure? See the top of this page, first pool ball "Many discussions do not need formal closure and do not need to be listed here." --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:33, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

(Initiated 2477 days ago on 17 February 2018) Could an admin or Rfc-experienced editor please assess whether this Rfc should be closed based on no prior discussion on the Talk page? This Rfc seems highly premature; there should at least be an attempt at discussion, first. My first time here, but it seems to me I've seen the phrase "procedural close" a few times before, but I can't find it now; am just wondering if that's a rational basis for an immediate closure here, with no prejudice on starting another one later, if a discussion ensues but deadlocks. Mathglot (talk) 22:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

I see now that the initiator's (Etzedek24 (talk · contribs)) first edit was 23 Oct 2017, which probably explains this; they probably were rummaging around in the labyrinth of guidelines and bumped into WP:RFC. Anyway, once the closure request above is disposed of (one way or the other) maybe someone could leave a friendly note on their Talk page about proper procedures, or I can. Let me know.

The RFC initiator has decided my close was not right as I didn't give him the full-protection he wanted, so he's reverted my rolling back of the article and created a second RFC asking the exact same question.

I'm not asking for a snow close; If you check the page, I explicitly denied the possibility of a snow close. But it's still quite an obvious close, and folks seem to have stopped !voting (the last one was almost four days ago). By the way, next time I make commentary like that, you may feel free to treat it the same exact way I did with this edit, though your method was rather more considerate. I'd have split it up myself (and posted it as a comment near the end of the RfC, instead of here) except I'm tired and therefore, temporarily stupid.

  • Objection. The person making the request is the person who started the RfC. I have not participated in it, myself -- because I think it is not a valid RfC. We are asked to choose between two versions selected by the OP; why does that individual get to determine the choices open to other editors? I agree the RfC can be closed -- on grounds of being invalid. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 15:41, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
A: I’m entitled to request closure (unless someone can point to a policy I’m not familiar with that proves otherwise).
B: (Note: edited) I don’t even understand the second objection. This is how RfCs are used in dispute resolution over content. Two or more versions are presented, and other users remain entitled to suggest alternatives. This has already been explained to you by another user on the article talk page. L.R.

@Nomoskedasticity: Yes I do know better, because I've read WP:RFCEND. You may find the following useful: "The question may be withdrawn by the poster (e.g., if the community's response became obvious very quickly). In this situation, the editor who started the RfC should normally be the person who removes the {{[]rfc}} template." L.R. Wormwood (talk) 15:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

I felt that this RfC could have been worded better. Usually in RfCs, "no" means opposition to change, whereas in this RfC, the way the question was worded causes "no" to mean a support of change.

@Barbara (WVS): Not sure what you're asking us to do. The redirect (which had looked like this for the last six months) was taken to RfD just 14 minutes before you posted here. Are you asking us to close that RfD almost seven days earlier than it normally would be closed? If so, why? Alternatively, if you wish to comment on what should be done with that redirect, please do so at the RfD itself, not here. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:35, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
14 minutes?! I probably submitted my request here on this page from another browser window that I had opened for longer than 1/2 hour before the page was nominated for RfD. This page, Trash metal had not been patrolled for 14 years and was the very last new page in the que; I try to work from the back of the que in new page patrolling because most editors prefer the front of the que. Of course I don't want to close the RfD before seven days have passed, the possibility of another editor going to the end of the new page que so close to same time as I did then and nominating it for deletion is pretty astounding.

There is no RFC there, and there is still nothing resembling a consensus. OP has again revert warned on his false notion of consensus and again the article is at RFPP. And his "we" above can only be construed as a royal we, as there was 0 discussion of closing or requesting an administrator's assistance in assessing consensus. John from Idegon (talk) 07:31, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
I would say that Lionelt's is the better description of the situation. Jzsj (talk) 15:50, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
As John from Idegon said, there was no RfC regarding the History section of the article. No RfC = no closure needed. Jzsj has apparently confused WP:CANVASSING with WP:RFC. 32.218.152.99 (talk) 17:58, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Other discussions can also be closed, if needed. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
In fact there is no RFC at all. It is just another trick to turn the article in one big advertising piece, against the prevailing consensus. Extra people have been drummed up by canvassing. The article has been protected a few times now, due to the disruptive editing of both Lionelt and jzsj. Ow, and Lionelt claims proposal 4, with a vote of 3-3 should be the winning proposal. In fact, proposal 3, with a 3-0 vote is votewise the winning proposal. A boomerang should be nice now as the only thing that is happening is restarting the discussion every time both gentleman find themselves on the losing side of arguments.

  • A very experienced editor, or even better, a very experienced admin, with absolutely no POV-ties to any firearms-related articles. Along with the closure, a consensus, or lack-thereof, will need to be determined, which will not be particularly easy or straight-forward, given the way the RfC is written or the way in which many of the responses have been entered in the straw-poll. This close will potentially affect some very contentious content, as well as groups of editors with very divided opinions. FYI. But just the same, the sooner the better.

Contentious? Oppose side opposing WP:VERIFY and support side supporting WP:VERIFY. While it's a matter of debate if Wikipedia should need an amount of references to support an apparently interesting statement, it needs to be proposed in policy pages. Raymond3023 (talk) 15:16, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Circling back on this one since it will be eligible for closure within the next couple of days. It would be great if someone could step up in advance with an offer to close it, to short circuit concerns about when it will be closed (which have already started).

I'd personally like to see the discussion relisted--most of the oppose comments were made early on, before any supporters had made much of an argument in favor of the move. Additionally, a lot of the oppose comments were made with little or no explanation of why they made that choice, while most of the support comments gave detailed arguments in favor of their choice. If you haven't already guessed, I'm a strong supporter of the move, which is why I feel it'd be inappropriate for me to relist the discussion, and thus would really like an admin to consider doing so instead. --IagoQnsi (talk) 23:05, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

I am asking if an uninvolved admin can close this topic. It is not the first time that the naming conventions at WP:NYCPT have been disputed by editors in the past that are non-contributors to the project. The argument has been brought up in the past that disambiguators for the station names that fall under the WP:NYCPT scope are long and unnecessary, but we have precedent as to why they are disambiguated the way they are. I do not want another argument to break out like it did a few years ago at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/Archive 14#Edit threat:. Thanks in advance. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 18:05, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

  1. To add on, there were two proposals in the past to move hundreds of articles to conform to WP:USSTATIONS's naming conventions, in here and here. Both were unsuccessful. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 23:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
    Correction: I was not trying to enforce USSTATION with that requested move, I was trying to generically remove unneeded dabs (why is why I originally ommitted the word station). {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 23:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@LRG5784: There is no question here. What exactly are you looking for a closer to do? AIRcorn (talk) 01:14, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
@Aircorn: As a fellow NYC Public Transport member, I think LRG5784 wants the thread to be closed. I'm assuming that this would be done using {{archive top}} and {{archive bottom}}, an action that would probably not need admin rights since this is not an RFC. epicgenius (talk) 14:51, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: I know the process of how to close, I am just not sure how to close this one. I started reading the thread and as someone a long way from New York and with little interest in public transport it was tedious (no offense meant as it is obviously an interesting area to many). It is long, there are a lot of (often vague) references to past discussion, a few personality conflicts and no real questions that a closer could find consensus on. It is a typical convoluted Wikiproject discussion between contributors that are familiar with each other and have strong views on a very specific area within the topic. So I guess does it need closing? Is it worth an editors time to read that thread to try and figure out a consensus? Best I could do would be to close it and say start a RFC, which is the next step anyway for these type of discussions and doesn't need a close. AIRcorn (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
@Aircorn: No offense taken, some people will really like trains and most people won't care that much. On further thought, I don't think this discussion needs closing, since it's not an RFC. I don't believe this needs a whole separate RFC either, since the discussion is about a United States railroad station guideline that already has agreement, except in Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation. The guideline has it that U.S. railroad, subway, light rail, etc. stations should be named under the format "X station", but New York City has so many similarly-named subway stations that reaching a consensus on this particular matter is very hard.
The discussion was basically about how best to move subway station pages to conform with the guideline, and whether NYC transport pages in general were so complicated that they should be exempted from that guideline for now. The discussion was deadlocked for a while, and some personal attacks were made in that discussion (mostly by the admins who supported the guideline and couldn't wait). That's when this request was made on WP:AN/RFC. Afterward, I proposed a new way to transition to the new guideline, and there was some agreement and disagreement to my suggestion.
I suppose that based on the short context I just gave, a formal close isn't necessary. Just letting the discussion run its course is fine. epicgenius (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

(Initiated 2401 days ago on 4 May 2018) Outcome here is very obvious. Currently 6 to 1 vote. I asked the one "keep" vote if we could proceed to consensus but the editor has not answered, while still working actively on other parts of the article.. Since that editor has restored this same content to the article multiple times, a formal closure by an uninvolved editor seems advisable, so the matter does not repeat itself again.BC1278 (talk) 17:58, 11 May 2018 (UTC)BC1278

The question is whether the Nextdoor article should mention its founder's hit-and-run accident. Nirav Tolia, Nextdoor's founder and CEO, caused a freeway accident that severely injured a woman. Tolia (and his wife) fled the scene of the accident -- an oversight for which Tolia was sentenced to 30 days in county jail and a $239 fine. I argued that since Nextdoor is self-proclaimed "community building site" and Mr. Tolia's flight from the accident didn't demonstrate community spirit, mention of the accident should maybe be included. I've been outvoted 1 to 5.5 so far. My opponents' argument is that the accident would belong in an article about Tolia, but not an article about the company he founded and oversees. It definitely belongs in my article about Tolia. I'm still hoping more editors show up to weigh the matter.
You may note that BC1278 has a COI here and is being paid by Nextdoor to re-write the article. I think it deserves more discussion, especially in light of the fact that BC1278 didn't mention his COI in his request for comments at at “Economy, Trade, and Companies” and ”Biographies”.

RonSigPi (talk) 22:56, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

@RonSigPi: There is nothing to close; the DRN thread that you have linked was closed more than three weeks before you posted here (to be precise, at 07:49, 14 April 2018 (UTC) by Robert McClenon), and it wasn't even an RfC either.
Do you actually mean Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing#RfC on SNG criterion 3 change? This one was an RfC (start; end). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:53, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
@Redrose64: Essentially, yes. To give full background, an editor started a discussion on a sports specific page, but did not tell the sports project page. The proposal from that discussion had unanimous support from the project page. When that editor tried implementing the change, it was shot down because it was not mentioned on the general sports talk page. A discussion started there, but was less focused on the issue at hand and more on the overall purpose of the sports guidelines. When a test was requested and in my view passed, I made the change but the test requesting editor undid the change (another undo happened, but that was because they wanted more time to pass). I took it to dispute resolution and they asked for a RfC. I put that out, but not much else was said - I was not surprised, it had been discussed a lot, just in a lot of places. I worked my request the way I did because I didn't want to over explain and violate the request for a neutral statement. I tried to make it clear all the places this was discussed, but to me Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive 163#Wikipedia:Notability (sports) was the clearest to see the summary of the points raised. That is why I headed off with it, but I included the RfC in my links. Just trying to give all the information out there and not hide anything, which is why there are multiple links. I really don't know were else to go with this. This is a second venue after the dispute resolution asked me to do an RfC. I did that and now am asking for someone to make a decision. I would make a change, but I am probably too involved and I know my decision will be undone anyways. Basically, we have four editors all saying yes (all project members without any dissent from the project page) with one editor saying no until more proof (in my opinion, too high a requirement of proof and proof requirement not consistent with other guidelines) and one editor that I would not say has made a decision, but has stated there are some questions. So at worst this is 4-2 (yes: RonSigPi, Michig, Bennyaha, Okeeffemarc (voted yes, but asked for RfC, which was done); no: Djsasso; appear to lean no: Bagumba; unknown (but to me likely yes): Oknazevad (said only issue was that more time was needed, which was given)) with logic to me also favoring the change (previously less fighters were ranked due to less ranking bodies and boxing being a more popular sport). Everyone has had plenty of time to comment, I would just like a decision made. I included all the editors so they are aware of this going on, but again this has been discussed at length. Since the RfC was the last thing request, I went here. But the RfC was poorly responded to because there was already plenty of comments before it and I tried to make sure all were captured so a neutral party can make a decision. If this isn't the venue, then please tell me where to take this for someone to make a decision. Honestly, after almost two months I just want a neutral party to make a decision and explain why. RonSigPi (talk) 01:29, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
@Redrose64: This appears to be convoluted to mask the lack of support at the RfC. I've added my opposition there.—Bagumba (talk) 02:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Yeah its pretty clear here that there is no consensus for the changes. 3 yes and 3 no. You can't assume Oknazevad isn't a no since he reverted you. Your time would be better spent doing the easy task that was set before you. Also if you would have taken the suggestion at dispute resolution and put the RfC on the affected page (where they are supposed to be) you also would have had better participation and likely an answer by now. Hiding it on the boxing page means edits to it don't ping the people who have the guideline watchlisted. -DJSasso (talk) 10:45, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Honestly, I have little opinion on they actual changes. (Maybe a little more permissive than I would have gone with; many of the boxers that would be under those changes would be covered by the GNG anyway.) I was just purely concerned with rushing through major changes to a widely used guideline with only two days of discussion on a totally separate talk page with no notification to the actual talk page of the guideline itself. There's WP:NOTBURO, and then there's just not holding sufficient discussion to actually determine consensus. oknazevad (talk) 19:12, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes. The monkey-work issue. The author of the RFC, who is presumed to be an Old World primate (because they are not registered as a bot), was advised to move the RFC to a more visible location, and said that they were not a monkey. I closed the DRN thread because an RFC, even if it is not in the preferred location, takes precedence over DRN. I advised the author of the RFC to publicize it neutrally. Either they didn't publicize it much, or the publicity didn't help much. It isn't clear to me why moving an RFC is work for a monkey in senso strictu and beneath the dignity of an ape, but that isn't important. Also, the RFC was already published when the DRN thread was filed. An RFC takes precedence over DRN, and DRN isn't a vehicle for changing a guideline anyway. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
{{Not done}} everything appears very convoluted, however overall there doesn't appear to be anything to close. The simple thing is, if a discussion on WT:NSPORT doesn't have too much participation, not much of a consensus etc, then make an RfC on WT:NSPORT, which should resolve it. A wikiproject talk page isn't an appropriate place to have a consensus to change a guideline; the only really appropriate places would be the talk page of the guideline and WP:VPP (or WP:VPR) Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:35, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Page should be speedy-deleted as unambiguous copyright violation, now confirmed by the article creator. If someone wants to tell Dream Focus off for (unwittingly) copying copyvio content onto Wikia with the explicit intent of undermining our deletion policy,[5] engaging in IDHT denialism after it was demonstrated that the content in question was copyvio,[6][7][8] implying that it is other users' responsibility to clean up his mess just because he attributed the mess to them,[9][10] and carelessly writing in a manner that will make new editors think it is okay to copy-paste text as long as it is "fair use",[11] that would be nice too, but honestly I'm increasingly convinced he's never going to change at this point, and no one seems to be willing to do anything about it, so I'd settle for the AFD being closed so everyone can move on with their lives.

Just as a point of interest (because it took me the better part of a good long while to find it) the text in question was changed three days after the RFC opened.
