Reading through and closing now...
 * ✅ No consensus to make any changes. The scope of this RfC seems like it may have been too wide for the number of contributors.  If there is any interest in re-proposing this kind of change, I suggest first opening an RfC to see if there is consensus to make a change, and if that closes as there is, then start another RfC to see what that change should be. — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 14:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not archive this section for at least 72 hours.  The exact closure was: The consensus is that  and  should redirect to Azad Kashmir and PoK should be a disambiguation page.

 * Done I've closed the discussion with: There is consensus to use the national flag icon of an athlete in an international competition as a graphic symbol for that athlete for competitions where national flags are commonly used as representations of sporting nationality in the particular sport. There is consensus that F1 is such an international competition and that use of flag icons to represent a driver's chosen nationality is acceptable to represent their participation in an event where they represented that country. There is also consensus that the flags should not be used to represent the driver for other events where they do not represent a specific country or for general use.  There were some valid concerns that MOS:ICON was a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS as a whole and as such not enforceable as a community wide consensus.  My eyes are however bugged out after reading that discussion, so if there is something I have missed, please point it out to me and I'll revise the closure as is appropriate.

Since the proposal is being criticized as "proposer admitted to be a sock puppet" and during the discussion we had found a better page where it could be merged, i.e. Human rights abuses in Kashmir.

Talk:Rape in Jammu and Kashmir
Since the proposal is being criticized as "proposer admitted to be a sock puppet" and during the discussion we had found a better page where it could be merged, i.e. Human rights abuses in Kashmir. I think this merge needs to be closed because many of the votes have been made in favor of merging the article into Human rights abuses in Kashmir. It would be better to start a new one. Thanks.

As the editor who started the poll, I have to ask why it needs to be closed? The parameters of the poll say that it cant be used to come to any conclusions or changes to the article. This looks like a waste of time that could be better spent closing something that needs closing. AlbinoFerret 17:49, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Endorse the above view. The poll did not ask for a ruling on consensus and any conclusions drawn would be procedurally invalid based on the phrasing of the pole. Bellerophon talk to me  01:53, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Done - Closed as no consensus. The original RFC did not ask a question about the article content. It did not even ask for comments about article content. Instead, it started off with a statement, and then the editors began repeating themselves. Either a new RFC is needed with a question about article content, or the editors can go to the dispute resolution noticeboard, where a volunteer moderator can try to help the editors decide what the issues are.

 * It was actually on October 29, 2014, here. Dave Dial (talk) 18:19, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

If this close has been reverted by a single editor purely and solely on the basis that the close was not an admin, the close should be re-instated. The closer was not a rookie, and admins do not receive any special training in closing discussions and it is never permissible to just revert a close without discussion. Per policy here. the admin status of the closer is not a valid complaint. If it's a bad close, complain at WP:AN.

It's not clear to me whether this was a formal RfC, but if so then the close was premature, because an RfC runs from when it was opened, not from when some other archived discussion was opened. In that case, though, you need to wait for the 30 days to end. Formerip (talk) 16:55, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It is a valid complaint, given that the discussion was explicitly reopened by Mr Wales because he objected to non-administrator closure. It is quite clear that you are not familiar with the peculiar nature of this particular discussion, and the Wales intrigue involved. RGloucester  — ☎ 23:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * No it isn't valid. It wouldn't matter if the Pope had got involved. It's settled policy that you cannot summarily overturn a good-faith close of an RfC/talkpage discussion, particularly if your only reason is that a non-admin did it. If you feel there is something wrong with the close, take the matter to AN. That's what you're supposed to do. Formerip (talk) 23:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It is valid, given the peculiar nature of this case. In any other case, I'd agree with you. In this case, where my non-administrator closure was overturned by Mr Wales for this express reason, we cannot follow through on the same procedural error. RGloucester  — ☎ 01:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I haven't followed the whole thing, but if Jimbo previously summarily reverted a good-faith close, that was an error on his part. Rather than duplicate it, I would suggest discussion the whole thing, including the previous revert at AN. Formerip (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree with FormerIP that it is established policy and practice that non-admin RfC/talkpage discussions cannot be summarily reverted. I have taken this to Administrators' noticeboard (permanent link). Cunard (talk) 02:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That's BS. There is no way, after Jimbo reverted the previous close, that a non-admin should close that Merge proposal. Especially with all of the off-site canvassing. There is an admin there now pretending he is neutral who has been heavily involved in the Gamergate controversy. A non-involved admin should read through both the previous Merge proposal and the current one. And the sources. Carefully. Especially when you have fringe groups] like [[Stormfront (website)|Stormfront sending in SPAs, along with Gamergate people on 4chan and /pol/ NN from 8chan. The whole 'issue' should have been left alone in the first place. Dave Dial (talk) 05:03, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Phineas and Ferb (season 4)
Hi, there was an RFC open for a while here, but it was never closed with an assessment of consensus. Editor Hits hits resorted to sockpuppetry to promote his perspective, which muddled the discussion, and he has returned with an insistence that the RfC continue. If anybody has a moment to figure out what the consensus was, it would be appreciated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

✅ - After ignoring the posts by the sock-puppets, there is no consensus, so that the article can be left as is, or another RFC can be publicized. If the latter approach is taken, vigilance is needed to protect against further sock-puppetry. By the way, the default period for an RFC really still is 30 days, and claims that an RFC hasn't been completed after more than 30 days really do put the burden of proof on an editor who wants the RFC to run longer.

Talk:Creation%E2%80%93evolution_controversy
This RfC had mixed response and moved toward a proposal that attempted to address the concerns raised by the editors commenting on the RfC. The person posting the RfC elected to close it per policy for ending RfC's and explained why he did so. Another editor chose to revert his decision to end the RfC insisting this can only be done by an uninvolved editor. There does not appear to be any precedent or policy supporting reversion of the original poster's decision to end an RfC. Besides, no new comments were coming in. The reverting editor argues that a new RfC on new material cannot be entertained until the old RfC is closed by an administrator, and appears to be reverting the ending of the RfC in order to delay further discussion and changes. Please close it ASAP so we can move forward with the article. Thanks. —GodBlessYou2 (talk) 23:41, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

You guys can go ahead with this if you think it really needs it, but my feeling on it (as noted on the talk page was that we had arrived at a consensus to change BASC, but not on exactly what those changes would be. I had planned to revisit this and do a second phase after I'm done with the GamerGate arbitration case. I would personally be more interested in recruiting a team to help manage and close that process.

While I haven't even drafted anything yet, I am thinking it will probably be the sort of RFC where there are several different new structures proposed and we try to work out which one the community is most comfortable with. The usual problem with those types of RFCs is that instead of trying to fine-tune existing proposals, new participants just keep adding more and more proposals until it becomes impossible to come to a consensus. This is what happened in the 2011 attempt to come up with a community based desysopping procedure. We wound up with 17 proposals and nothing came of it. During the 2012 pending changes RFC I used a more restrictive format where three mutually exclusive options were presented and users had to pick one of them. That produced a usable result, but I'm not certain it is the right approach here.

Of course anyone else is more than welcome to move this forward themselves if they don't want to wait for me to get around to it. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:03, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

 * There's like three simultaneous issues, aren't there? First the issue of the source, which seems resolved. Then the issue of the alignment and now it looks like an issue with the alignment with the flag. How would it be closed? How about someone create an actual RFC format and let people comment their views in separate subheadings? And this may sound ridiculous but I say someone should actually elevate this to Manual_of_Style/Tables or bring it to a WP:Sports-level discussion. We may as well have an actual agreed-upon formatting fight done in one place and end these bits and pieces.

Previous RfC was closed as "no consensus". Change was made anyway. A further RfC was started to try to get a better consensus. It has been open for a more than 2 weeks. Wondering if someone could close it? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That is inaccurate, The previous RFC was closed no consensus for a medical order. Afterwards the article was changed to a non medical order by an admin after a discussion with consensus from the editors on hand. AlbinoFerret  14:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)


 * — &#123;&#123;U&#124;Technical 13&#125;&#125; (e • t • c) 23:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * What AlbinoFerret wrote is false. The previous RfC was closed as no consensus to change the order. The change to the order was made when an editor made an edit protected request while ignoring the previous RfC. QuackGuru  ( talk ) 21:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * What you are saying is false. Per the previous closing "Result: No consensus as to whether the article is primarily medical." in attempting to keep it a prominently medical order. The previous closing also stated "IMO, the way the body of the article launches straight into a discussion of the health effects related the article subject before providing the basic information about what the subject is doesn't look obviously neutral or natural." thats why it was changed. There is a section calling for the stoping of the RFC, that was hidden (collapsed), the closer should read it to fully understand whats going on. AlbinoFerret  23:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * What AlbinoFerret wrote is misleading. There was no consensus to change the order per the previous RFC. No consensus means the order of the sections cannot be changed. Now AlbinoFerret claims "What it is and made of (components) before getting to health claims, these are the majority of the reliable sources." That is not true. The vast majority of the sources are about the health effects. AlbinoFerret believes the safety of e-cigarettes page is a "medical page". QuackGuru  ( talk ) 19:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Im sure the closer will not have reading comprehension issues and understand what I wrote. The order of those sources is components first. There was consensus to change them after the closing of the previous RFC, and the edit was carried out by an admin. Yes, the "Safety of electronic cigarettes", a separate page, dealing with only medical issues, is a medical page, but thats not the page this section, or the RFC is on.

Please snow-close this RFC in which a single editor is fighting to capitalize mustang and edit warred and got the article protected; time to move on. Dicklyon (talk) 01:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's appropriate. Even if the outcome is obvious, it would be better to exhaust this step in dispute resolution properly than snow close it (and find you can't rely on this later down the track because it was closed too early). There are many reasons why a position is asserted and many ways to describe those reasons; better to let all of the comments come in first as it might resolve the dispute. As to the edit-warring, if it's just one editor who won't stop, then the editor's conduct should be at ANI so there is an interim sanction pending the outcome of the RfC. Though right now, the article's protected so there should be no issue.... Ncmvocalist (talk) 02:11, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Getting back out of the protected state so that the obvious consensus can be implemented was my point. RFCs tend to stretch out for a month if not closed when the outcome becomes obvious, which is has become here.  Dicklyon (talk) 06:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Here was a merge proposal Talk:All India Trinamool Congress (Merge proposals are sometimes very disturbing, we, on Wikipedia, have no systematic procedure to close these discussions (like AFD or RM). (I am an involved editor and article creator) -- Tito ☸ Dutta 22:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it really does need a formal close; the input given is too limited and is terribly stale, so I wouldn't be comfortable formally closing that in any way. You can just probably run things as they are and boldly remove the tags until the question is raised again (if ever), but it may be worth opening a request for comment so the question can be resolved properly on a more long-term basis.

Talk:Death of Leelah Alcorn
It looks like this has been sufficiently debated. An involved editor went ahead and performed the merge, but it was reverted by another involved editor. I think we need an uninvolved editor to determine consensus. StAnselm (talk) 11:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've looked at this, StAnselm, and although the conclusion appears to be obvious at first glance, I think it might still be a little too early to close. Better to give it another few days, so that it's absolutely clear that everyone's had every chance to make their case; otherwise there's a risk of the close being overturned for being premature.— S Marshall  T/C 23:22, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Although a consensus appears to have been reached and sufficient time passed to gather comments, another user reverted my merge/redirect of Leelah's Law into Death of Leelah Alcorn due to my having started the discussion and not waiting longer, so an uninvolved editor would be appreciated to close this, thanks!

I have closed previous discussions on the capitalization issue (I believe one had consensus for a move, one failed to gain consensus, and one was a split decision on a proposed multi-move), and therefore recuse myself from further involvement. Based on my previous experience with three-admin panels, I would recommend User:Adjwilley, User:TParis, and User:Kww, though it would also be good to get some more admins involved in that process.

 * I am pretty sure that discussion has been sufficient already... Looks like it had to be dearchived twice... Closing it would probably be a good idea now... --Martynas Patasius (talk) 19:49, 12 January 2015 (UTC)


 * It was archived again. I guess there is little need to unarchive it at the moment, given that the discussion itself seems to be over, as it looks like we'll need to wait a little for the close; the closer can obviously unarchive it. --Martynas Patasius (talk) 00:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Fair enough. :-)  Sunrise    (talk)  07:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, it is not that hard. The closer of the original discussion (first part) has said that he is not going to explain how he got the answer, because that would lead to a long discussion (Special:Diff/640249413 - "I'm not going to give out a list when the only effect will be to give you as many reasons as there are entries for pointlessly rehashing the debate."). That is the most important point (although there are others). If the closer thinks that it is good reasoning corresponding to policy and one should simply trust the closer, discussion will be closed as "endorse", if closer thinks that reasoning behind the close has to be explained, discussion will be closed as "overturn". The discussion about the second part is even shorter and the same point is even clearer. Nothing hard here.
 * Of course, there is a problem that uninvolved closers might be hard to find... To some extent, even the ones who have cooperated with WMF can be seen as "semi-involved"... But anyway, the close of this discussion doesn't have to happen as soon as possible at any cost. It is more important that it would be closed well. --Martynas Patasius (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
