User:AlbinoFerret/Closing FAQs

I think a FAQ's page with information about me and on my closing RFC's may be helpful. I am always willing to discuss a closing I have done, just ask on my talk page. But perhaps you will find the answers you are looking for here.

About me
1. Q. How long have you been editing Wikipedia?
 * A. I have been editing since Mar 22, 2008.

2. Q. Why do you consider yourself an experienced editor?
 * A. During my time editing on Wikipedia I have edited a few controversial articles. During that time I have become quite knowledgeable on policy and guidelines. I also like to comment on WP:AN/I as an uninvolved community member. This also gives be insight into PAG but also on how they are applied.

3. Q. Are you doing this in order to become an admin?
 * A. At this time I have no desire to become an admin.

4. Q. Why do you close RFC's?
 * A. I am a firm believer in the RFC process. I have used RFC's to help in difficult situations. The more eyes we have on a disagreement the more likely we will come to the correct solution to that disagreement imho. There needs to be someone willing to close them, so I close them.

About closing
1. Q. Can you describe how you go about closing?
 * A. Yes, see this section.

2. Q. Do you just count !votes to see who won?
 * A. No, RFC's are closed by determining the consensus of the discussion. They are not just a head count.
