User:GRuban/RfC

Some Request for comments (Requests for comments?) that I have closed. This isn't exhaustive: at first, when I was making this page in 2018, I thought I'd list them all, but then realized I had closed more than I thought, so gave up; these were the first that came up in a search of WP:ANRFC, there are more. Then I came back in 2019 and added the most recent ones I had done. If some of these don't exist at the linked location, they have probably been archived, look for an "archives" box, and search for my user name, GRuban. (My user name should be almost solely associated with the RfC(s) in each talk page's archives; if I edited the talk page a lot for article editing purposes, I probably shouldn't have closed RfCs on it!)
