(Initiated 2198 days ago on 2 November 2018) discussion has long-since concluded and consensus is clear, but due to the nature of the discussion (a change to speedy deletion criteria) it needs formal closure and actioning by an uninvolved administrator. Thryduulf (talk) 01:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
(Initiated 2213 days ago on 18 October 2018) Would an admin assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2018 October#World Heritage site? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 05:29, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
- Seriously, this MR is discussed-out and then some, turning in on itself in rehash of rehash about rehash. It's rather aberrant for an MR to remain open this long. MR's purpose is to determine whether someone made a bad close, not to determine a new community consensus about content matter. That is, the longer this goes on, the longer there's an open accusation against an editor and their judgement. The actual matter is quite simple (was there or was there not a clear consensus in the RM closed as no consensus) despite all the verbiage in this MR (including the inappropriate attempts to turn an RM in favor of name A then an RM that did not conclude to revert to name B into a request to go to name B anyway as if the second RM had overturned the first, the opposite of what actually happened – it's a total re-litigation farm). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:43, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

(Initiated 2484 days ago on 19 January 2018) – Yeah, it really has been that long, but not because of any disagreement on consensus; the consensus being that Perihelion and aphelion covers the same exact ground as Apsis, as "perihelion" and "aphelion" are apsides of the Sun. Two are in opposition; one that clearly seems to not understand what redirects are, and another who is trying to argue that the Sun's apsides are more important that any other objects' apsides because "Its the sun"... Not exactly the best argument, is it? Would a kind editor please close this prolonged discussion with some hefty authority? It'd be much appreciated! – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 23:36, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

I strongly feel that a formal closure is needed here by an uninvolved editor. Please help. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to put a nice link like other topics here are having.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
- I must say that I have expected that you would at least read the discussion, and evaluate the arguments. RfC is not a vote count. I seriously doubt you could have done that in this amount of time. Bilseric (talk) 00:57, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- Believe me, I did. Literally no one other than you agreed with your proposal, and strong policy-based arguments were made. That's a consensus right there, no vote-counting necessary. The one objection that could be made is that the discussion was closed too early and that more editors should have been given the opportunity to weigh in. However, having read the conversation, I sincerely doubt that the consensus would have changed, and at any rate you were the person who requested the discussion be closed. signed, Rosguill talk 01:19, 12 December 2018 (UTC)01:47, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- Is it possible to reopen this and have 3-4 previously uninvolved editors share their opinion before formally closing. I don't think that's an unreasonable thing to ask considering the situation. I really see no reason to rush the closure, although I have requested the formal closure. I just didn't expect it will be done so fast. I'm not asking you to change your opinion, but to leave others share theirs, because I feel that the editors who were previously engaged have a predetermined opinion. I wanted to be objective so I asked them to come, but I unintentionally made a case of canvassing here. I'm sure that you would agree it would have been unfair if I had canvassed 3-4 editors to agree with me. This shouldn't be any different. Bilseric (talk) 11:27, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- Bilseric, there is no way that your proposal will get consensus because it based on WP:SYNTHESIS - please read that policy I've linked - since the sources don't mention Tesla. Proposals that fundamentally violate policy simply cannot get consensus and so there is no point in reopening and getting more editors to discuss it.

- But I indeed have posted a source that mentions Tesla and is not SYNTH. It's listed as the 3rd point of RfC, however the closing didn't address that point. Did you read my last post in the discussion? I have accepted the SYNTH objection , that's why I posted the source other editors have requested. I just feel that we should allow a little more time for other editors to join in. There is really no need to rush. If other, previously uninvolved editors join and agree, I will accept the consensus. I just feel uncomfortable that the consensus is done solely by canvassed editors. Bilseric (talk) 11:54, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- You two can even share this opinions that you wrote here in the discussion. Then at least there will be 2 opinions from non involved editors. A few more and we will have the equal number of previously involved and new editors, then no one should feel that the consensus was rushed or pushed by canvassed editors. I feel that the closure done in this matter won't resolve anything and that the same discussion will be again opened in the future by someone else. Bilseric (talk) 12:10, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- I just requested the closure because I felt that snow closure shouldn't be done solely by canvassed editors. I recognize my mistake when pinging other editors. I should have just opened the RfC without pinging, I will be more careful in the future.Rosguill said that the only objection that can be made is that it was closed to early, but I didn't expect it will be done so promptly. This is really my mistake since I'm not that experienced. If you read the discussion you will see that I was against rushing the closure, but I was afraid that they will snow close it, so I opened this request expecting ot will last for some time. I really have done everything to get more editors and correct this canvassing mistake that I did. I didn't want to ping more users because it would just worsen the situation. I don't see what more could I now possibly do to correct this canvassing. I apologize for making it happen. It was unintentionall. I feel the only to correct it is to plea you to leave the discussion opened for a little more time. Bilseric (talk) 12:14, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- You asked for input from additional editors. Sorry, but if reopened, I would !vote oppose. This is SYNTH and a particularly tenuous example of SYNTH as the source is so old. I suggest you move on. That’s all I have to say here as I don’t wish to clutter this page. O3000 (talk) 12:43, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- Ok , you can do it, at least there will be one vote from uninvolved editor. But please, could you also comment on the second source that I have posted. I agree the 1st one is SYNTH. Bilseric (talk) 12:47, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

(Initiated 2216 days ago on 15 October 2018) Seems an open-and-shut case to me, no need to lengthen the discussion. Another editor, perfectly reasonably in my opinion, tried to remove the proposal as ridiculous but the proposer is having none of it. Clearly we need to follow the process here. Please can someone close this out as my contribution discounts me as "uninvolved". This is suitable for non-admin closure. Thank you MegaSloth (talk) 09:09, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Could an uninvolved Admin assess and close this discussion regarding how awards are dealt with in articles. A summary of the issues is provided at Talk:Natalya Meklin#Resolving?.
The issues have been extensively discussed by two opposing protagonists with comments by other experienced editors (of which I am one). The issue has developed to the status of a dispute between the two protagonists and the article page has been protected. I have specifically requested an Admin close to allow for removal of the page protection.
A close would very likely resolve the dispute and allow a return to normal editing. Alternatively, if no consensus can be identified, a close indicating a further course to resolve the matter would be appropriate.
I believe the two protagonists to be genuine good-faith editors who are simply unable to reconcile their differences without third-party intervention. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 23:51, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

The only additions make it yet more clear that the close was correct. I think this is a waste of editor time and would like to see focus changed to concentration on content.

(Initiated 2175 days ago on 25 November 2018) We need this 1-month old Rfc closed with a decision :) GoodDay (talk) 15:42, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
- GoodDay, decision?
There's a strong consensus that nothing needs to be settled and the concerned-guidelines are already perfect. Exceptions may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- That's the only two lines, I'm going to write in my closure-statement if I (at all) choose to ignore the need of writing closure-statements, where the consensus is reasonably clear. Do you expect any different outcome?
- There appears to be sentiment that in light of the abundance of spam-editing, we ought to remove our prohibitions against spamming and instead codify such behavior as appropriate but I don't understand the motivations.
- If you are seeking for
enforcement of policy-based-consistency
, a pointer to the guideline at the t/p(s) of the defaulting editors ought to usually suffice. And, any dispute ought be easily resolved with the usual t/p discussion (after all, MOS is a guideline; not a policy) with the involved editors. Pending that, an RFC may be launched (if he/they really feels that his reasoning is strong enough, to deviate from MOS and you disagree). On the other hand, if it's plain IDHT behaviour, ANI is handy-enough. Appropriately advertising the dispute at the MOS t/p(s) and other centralized pages (If it's about Narendra Modi, inform WT:INB and the like......) also helps a lot. - There also appears to exist a clique of editors who tag-team and remain steadfast-opposed to these established-guidelines, thus affecting local consensus. But, that's one of the much-broader problems of Wikipedia (hardly unique to MOS) and a month-long discussion won't give you any satisfying answer. ∯WBGconverse 13:19, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

- Winged Blades of Godric: Hey, this is not a general discussion. Anyway, what's the outcome of this discussion? --Mhhossein talk 13:22, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Mhhossein, there was no particular question other than a garden-variety poser about the reliability and usability of Think-Tank pieces.
- Whilst there's a rough consensus that they ought be always attributed to (for statements derived from them), there's not much of any agreement about the exact cases, where they can be used and about how to use them, without violating DUE. Basically, as things stand, there exists a reasonable scope to exercise nuance and editorial discretion on a case-by-case basis.
- If you are looking for a closure/bright-line outcome; please create a new discussion with highly-specific queries.
- IMO, any future editor will be far more benefited by reading the entirety of the discussion and I have objections to closing a sparsely-attended (and non-advertised) discussion about a generic-poser; that covers a vast array of sources. FWIW, neither do I see any immediate reasons to stifle a free-flowing discussion; even before the elapse of a fortnight.

Another factor is an earlier round of undiscussed renaming that moved many of these articles away from the titles under which they were created. The discussion has been relisted twice but no new comments have been added since January 1.

- Concur on first point. As to the latter, see WP:RELIST and point 2 of WP:RELISTBIAS; which though concerned with deletion-discussion; is pretty clear on the aspect of relisting a heavily-participated discussion to seek consensus.∯WBGconverse 10:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, thanks for the good faith effort to move it along, Paine, but I honestly don't think relisting is the answer here... everything that can be said has been said ten times already, and we just need it put out of its misery! Whether it's no consensus or not, I wouldn't like to prejudge - that's up to the closing admin... a case could be made for either overturn or no conensensus probably.

I think the article in question should probably be trashed, thus Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Astronomical_bodies_in_pseudoscience_and_the_paranormal, but User:Jehochman requested that we not have the discussion so that the merger discussion could end. I think there are bigger issues at play (we've discussed a bit on Jehochman's talk page), and he suggested I request a snow close for the merger discussion, which, as the AfD nominator, I would agree to though I'd like the discussion to continue for how to handle astronomical pseudoscience.

- I'm going to have to come back to this one, because it, along with Racism in the UK Conservative Party and Islamophobia in the UK Conservative Party (2016–present) look to be a combination of WP:POVFORK and WP:OR (the article titles scream it to begin with), while the RFC feels like just the end result of bureaucratizing all the problems of a POVFORK/OR combo, too. Incidentally, the articles smell of sock / possibly-banned-users (at cursory inspection; they're also relatively recently created). I can dive deeper into it if truly nobody else is going to (and if I even have time), but this looks like it could be an unnecessary pain to sift through when there might be more overriding/fundamental issues. I dunno;I might just be crazy. Others with better knowledge of British politics should please feel free to deal with this. --slakr\ talk / 04:39, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
- The issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party of the UK is a significant and controversial subject, so I would strongly suggest that the task of resolving this group of RfCs (some 18 of them!) should be assigned to a group of three administrators rather than simply "an experienced editor." Involved editors have already been making changes, such as this, to the article on the basis of perceived consensus. -The Gnome (talk) 12:19, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
- I agree that because "the issue of antisemitism in the Labour Party of the UK is a significant and controversial subject" and because of the socking mentioned by slakr, it is likely better to have a panel of three admins close the RfC. Pinging Primefac (talk · contribs), who closed one of the RfCs, for your thoughts. Cunard (talk) 06:50, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, I bailed on it because it was just such a massive task.

Primefac (talk) 16:33, 9 December 2018 (UTC) (please ping on reply)
- Greetings, Primefac. I maintain that one and the same group of at least three admins handles this. It's not so much an issue of difficulty as much as of the need for a consistent and consolidated process. It's a rather large RfC. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 19:10, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

(Initiated 2139 days ago on 30 December 2018) Seems clear there is no consensus for this proposal, though it has the occasional post from editors but mostly repetition of same arguments. There have been several complaints (see talk page) that the proposal is interfering with the function of the COI noticeboard (it should have been created on the talk page). Previous attempt to move it to the talk page was reverted with crude language from two users, one of which is the proposer. I suspect the proposer will only accept an admin closing this. Note that this is the 2nd RFC on the topic (the first was closed after 10 days in 2015), with no change of proposal, and IMO no change of arguments made or balance of opinion on the project. At the very least, could an admin move this to talk, to enable the COI noticeboard to function properly. -- Colin°Talk 08:45, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - User:Jax 0677 - I do not plan to close this RFC. For two reasons, both of which I do not need to disclose, I might not be neutral. Also, RFCs are not relisted. XFDs, which run for 7 days, may be relisted, but RFCs, which run for 30 days, are not relisted. They may be closed as No Consensus, and the closer may advise that a new RFC be posted, but they are not relisted in the way that XFDs are. Perhaps you are confusing different procedures.

- User:Redrose64 - Okay. As long as I am not told that I should be closing an RFC that hasn't run 30 days, and as long as I am not planning to close the Aurora RFC for two reasons that have nothing to do with COI, fine. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:43, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon: My understanding is that an RfC is no different from an ordinary content discussion in the following regard: It can be closed whenever it seems to have run its course, when all stated arguments have been sufficiently discussed and the likelihood of any significant new arguments is deemed to approach zero. That can be one week or twelve weeks or more (I recently closed an RfC after 8 days), and it is not connected to the amount of time before the bot de-lists the RfC. If most RfCs are closed after 30 days, that's only because (1) editors misinterpret the de-listing as "time to close" and (2) there is often resistance to closing "early" even if the circumstances warrant it, and most of us prefer to avoid that controversy. ―Mandruss ☎ 22:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

- Well, it got relisted a few days ago, but there's been (somewhat active) participation in the past couple days, so I'd be inclined to at least let it go a bit longer. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

(Initiated 2031 days ago on 17 April 2019) I had thought that narrowing to two choices would be welcome, especially when the closer of the last RM told us "Feel free to re-request the move, perhaps with a more specific proposed title." Somehow it has not been viewed with the purpose I had intended, with a snowball of opposes and several attacks on my character of having some devious underlying agenda. I'd speedy close it myself but who knows what will be thought of me for doing so. Could any non-involved please speedy close this RM that I opened? Thanks.

(Initiated 2058 days ago on 21 March 2019) I am requesting a technical "Close without prejudice" of this RFC. The RFC is effectively a re-run of an earlier one at Talk:Motion_picture_content_rating_system/Archive_1#RfC: Should the comparison table in the article use a color scheme accessible to color-blind users?, where the consensus was to select a scheme accessible to color-blind readers. The latest incarnation of the RFC was initiated by an editor now blocked for sockpuppetry. The RFC itself is contaminated by sockpuppetry, as well as putting forward a proposal that deviates from Wikipedia policy. Betty Logan (talk) 14:52, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
- I cannot close this because I am WP:INVOLVED, but I urge the closer to look at two separate issues here: (i) is there a need for additional level(s); (ii) is there a need to alter the colour scheme of the existing levels in order to fit in the desired new level(s). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
