Deadline

Please note that this statement page was created more than 20 hours after the expiry of the deadline for statements. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Participants were not notified of the deadline! Having been given notification of the project, its reasonable for active participants to receive notice. --Domer48_'fenian' 21:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

As much as i hate to have to agree with domer, it does appear there was no official announcment or declaration of the deadline. So im not sure if the statements are closed or not until we hear from a moderator. BritishWatcher (talk) 21:59, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

The deadline is clearly stated on the project page and has been for a couple of weeks now. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 23:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

But its not, i thought we had all agreed on the deadline for submissions, but on the project page it says Timetable - "The following important dates are currently being discussed:", its not a firm date although i think we should stick to the deadline but because it wasnt clear enough allow this statement to remain.

As the dates are not agreed, and are "currently being discussed" editors should be informed of both the discussion (providing a link) and notify editors of the dates agreed in advance. This is reasonable. --Domer48_'fenian' 10:07, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

As I explained at WT:IECOLL, I see no benefit to the dispute-resolution process in disallowing this statement by Domer48 or the also-over-deadline statement(s) by Rockpocket. If the evidence here is useless, then it can be discarded just like any other useless evidence; but if it does help answer some key questions, we'd be foolish to rule it out because of a time limit. In any case there's no sign of the moderators doing anything about a further stage at the moment, so there's no rush. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I would agree to discard evidence pertinent to this process due to it being late when in fact no proper notice was given to editors would be silly. BigDunc^Talk 10:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
