Talk:Wiki-PR editing of Wikipedia
This has been running since 17 November. No-one seems able to call a halt to it. Consensus seems pretty much set, but occasional !votes do still dribble in. It ought to be uncontroversial.

 * That's going to pose a bit of a problem. While the discussion at this talk page was reasonable & informative, the best solution offered, prima facie, was to take the issue to Talk: Balhae & obtain an opinion there. After all, usage & transliteration should be consistent across Wikipedia. One glance at the talk page there shows that this very subject -- Bohai vs. Balhae -- is hotly disputed, & not likely to be resolved soon. Anyone wanting to resolve this issue one way or the other would best start by building a consensus at Talk: Balhae first, but what do I know? -- llywrch (talk) 21:33, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

This AfD has been split up into multiple sections and the discussion has been contentious at times. Most of the !votes are keep, but there is at least one delete !vote, with another editor staying neutral and suggesting a no consensus closure. It doesn't look like much more productive discussion can go forward, so having it closed sooner rather than later might be a good thing.

Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) (initiated 6 December 2013)? The proposal is for "removal of ANYBIO's and PORNBIO's references to mere nominations for awards as a sufficient criterion for a standalone article". Please consider the previous related discussion Wikipedia talk:Notability (people) (initiated 4 October 2013) in your close. My recommendation to the closer is to make the later section on the talk page (Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)) a subsection of the earlier section about the dispute (Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)). Then please consider the arguments made in all the sections and determine the consensus (or lack of it). As an editor noted at the discussion: For some history, this was discussed in an various extensive discussions and RfCs: As asked for in the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ANotability_(people)&diff=587445551&oldid=587424856 most recent edit] to the guideline page, an uninvolved editor's closure is requested.

 * ✅ I closed the RfC. Along with the earlier discussion, it demonstrated overwhelming consensus for the removal of award nominations from PORNBIO. —  Scott  •  talk  00:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No, you have closed a completely different RfC on the same page. Armbrust The Homunculus 05:25, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, you're incorrect. That discussion began with a proposal affecting both ANYBIO and PORNBIO, but as one user commented, it was "really being driven by a frustration with the PORNBIO standard". The discussion then became specifically about PORNBIO, which led to the RfC. The RfC indicated two things: broad consensus for modifying PORNBIO, and no consensus for modifying ANYBIO. With that, the discussion is resolved. —  Scott  •  talk  12:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * No, you're incorrect. The discussion you closed isn't even mentioned in this closure request, and the ones mentioned are unclosed. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:38, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You're either being pedantic or haven't actually read and understood the discussions in question. The entire process on that talk page lead to the RfC, which superseded both prior conversations and resolved the issue. If your complaint is that I didn't put the discussions directly linked to above into a box, well, you're free to do that. Knock yourself out. Cunard requested above for an admin to consider the arguments made in all the sections and determine the consensus (or lack of it), and that's what I did. —  Scott  •  talk  15:17, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Cunard also said "My recommendation to the closer is to make the later section on the talk page [...] a subsection of the earlier section about the dispute", which you clearly failed to do. You have closed the discussion, therefore I think you should (and only you can) do that (only you know, which sections you considered in your closure, which BTW is completely missing any mention of the "no consensus for modifying ANYBIO" you mentioned in your post on this page).

Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive825
Was archived after several dozen support and oppose entries along with many additional comments, includes a community sanction proposal that needs uninvolved administrator closure (and if consensus for found, enactment). Was open for six days, active for four then idle for two and archived. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:52, 10 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The Rambling Man continues to make personal attacks. This kind of thing needs to stop. And it's not just toward Medeis and me but to others. That's another issue. But I must ask: Please, please, please implement this interaction ban ASAP. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:31, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree, to the above and the Proposal #2 Topic Ban of M and BBB from the Ref Desk. 193.169.86.13 (talk) 23:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The above editor is attempting to imitate TRM and get him into trouble. See discussion on WP:ANI. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I wasn't aware of this request for closure until just now. Four days ago I am not sure I would even have commented.  In light of the consensus of about 4 to 1 in favor of either only an interaction ban between TRM and myself, or in favor of no sanction whatsoever, I will repeat my preference for an interaction ban.


 * Unfortunately, after just a few days rest, TRM has again resumed following and addressing me critically on different pages.


 * Especially troubling is TRM's reviving his pointed allusion to "tragic" events in a veiled response to me at WP:ITN after his comment regarding a "tragedy" of which I am the survivor were redacted. See my intended-to-be private explanation at Deborahjay's talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deborahjay#FYI .  (Admins who want details and public documentation can email me privately.)


 * This Ref Desk thread was edited after the fact to add in a condescending remark about my tragedy.


 * Then look at TRM responding to me as "somebody" and quoting me verbatim at the Monica Spears murder nomination at ITN. once again adding in an allusion to a "tragedy" when he basically 'thinks of a better comeback'! An admin drags this from private talk page to ref desk to ITN, to serve what purpose in improving wikipedia?


 * An immediate, indefinite interaction ban is called for, one I will be glad to have mutually imposed, one I have asked for repeatedly since the new year. This pattern of elevating provocation is long term, with TRM attacking for me for a period of weeks last year, calling me "meds" all accross the project, and beginning attacks again the fall at ITN.  When TRM can't get my attention, he attacks User:BabbaQ or Baseball Bugs as proxies, attacks "incompetent admins" for not imposing arbitrary sanctions on all his imagined enemies across the board.  As a qualification, I ask that no other sanctions be placed on TRM, and that neither of us be banned from participation in any particular thread such as ITN which we both have histories of editting, so long as we do not directly or indirectly refer to each other or allude to each other's edits.  Thanks.  μηδείς (talk) 01:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * What would "closure of discussion" consist of? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * As George as clearly noted above "uninvolved administrator closure (and if consensus for found, enactment)". (Oh, and having read the ridiculous nonsense above, I do reserve the right to use the word "tragic" as I see fit...  "Allusions"?  Delusions. Medeis, if you don't want your life story published, don't publish it.)  The Rambling Man (talk) 18:43, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

The information in the above hatted section shows that provocative interaction by The Rambling Man is continuing, even after the third ANI was allowed to go dormant without closure. It is continuing even on this thread, with TRM "reserving the right" to "publish my life story". Perusal of the ANI shows an obvious 4-to-1 consensus in favor of an interaction ban. Medeis and Baseball Bugs have requested this repeatedly, and TRM does not oppose it. Please impose the requested interaction ban. Failure to close serves no purpose other than continued disruption. μηδείς (talk) 03:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Just for clarity, I reserved the right to use the word "tragic" without recourse. I also advised you to avoid publishing personal information as it can be used against you by nefarious types, i.e. they can determine your identity, your address etc.  These two constructs are entirely separate and your conflation of them is exotic and without any basis in fact whatsoever.  Secondly, you misrepresent me, I certainly do _not_ want the interaction ban because it would prevent me from compiling the RFC about your misbehaviour and ongoing selective censorship at the ref desks.  Thirdly, it's very "creative" to assert a 4-1 consensus, but that's pure falsehood.  And by now I'm sure you appreciate it's not a vote counting exercise, despite your assertions here and at ITN.  The quality of the argument counts too (e.g. "Support 1" alone is meritless).  You may also wish to note the many people who supported proposal 2 which was to prevent the ongoing RD nonsense.  I strongly support this, that we are all prevented from editing ref desks for the next six months as it may allow other, genuinely helpful editors to contribute without the fear of being rebuked, joked at, hatted etc.   Very few oppositions for that, and some in strong support, particularly from those who have been driven away from the RD by both Medeis' and BB's recent behaviour.

This RfD has now been open for 12 days and is failing to gain any new opinions despite disagreement continuing; I think everything useful has been said that could be said. Closing it would aid the current parallel discussion at Village pump (policy)/Archive 112, as indicators of current practice (typically taking the form of RfD decisions) are sorely needed.

A participant wrote: "This RfC [comes] after an unsuccessful AfD, an ELNO-based removal, a claim that the URL doesn't in fact reflect an official website, and an AN/I request) ..."

 * Objection: Hi ТимофейЛееСуда and others. I just wanted to note that I object to the idea that any of my edits have implicated WP:INVOLVED. We should be clear here that I'm not an admin and that I wasn't performing any kind of administrative action. As noted above, the RfC had already expired and when I "closed" the thread there hadn't been a comment in over 3 weeks. The consensus is exceptionally clear in this case and my neutral "close" (i.e. "without comment or summary") explicitly invited comments from others. Even if I were an admin I'd vouchsafe that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion as I had. Anyway feel free to revert my "closure" if it was indeed inappropriate but I think it would be a ridiculous waste of time, and I disagree that it's "per WP:INVOLVED". -Thibbs (talk) 04:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Mark Steyn and Talk:Mark Steyn
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Mark Steyn (initiated 24 October 2013)? Although the RfC has only two participants, previous discussions on the talk page have had significant participation:
 * Talk:Mark Steyn (initiated 24 August 2013)
 * Talk:Mark Steyn (initiated 22 October 2013)
 * Talk:Mark Steyn (initiated 22 October 2013)

My recommendation to the closer is to make the later sections on the talk page (Talk:Mark Steyn, Talk:Mark Steyn, and Talk:Mark Steyn) subsections of the earlier section about the dispute Talk:Mark Steyn. Then please consider the arguments made in all the sections and determine the consensus (or lack of it). The dispute is about the phrasing in the lead sentence (describing the subject as a "free-speech activist", "free-speech advocate", and/or "human rights activist"). Thanks, Cunard (talk) 11:21, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's the complicating factor IMO: IMO (based on my recollection which could be wrong) the "stable version" said "Mark Steyn is... a self-described free-speech activist", and since "self-described" has too much of a "so-called" vibe, pretty much nobody wants that. This was changed to "Mark Steyn is... a free-speech activist", but IMO that's not a valid stable version (it was let stand by me and others to avoid warring over the matter; that is, there was no consensus to replace "self-described free-speech activist" with "free-speech activist" as opposed to replacing "self-described free-speech activist" with nothing, it just ended that way randomly because the "replace 'self-described free-speech activist' with nothing" faction didn't wish to battle over the matter.)


 * So IMO looking at it and saying "no consensus, keep current stable version" won't work here. Somebody, somehow, has to decide between these two lede openings:
 * "Mark Steyn (born December 8, 1959) is a Canadian-born writer, conservative political commentator and free speech activist."
 * "Mark Steyn (born December 8, 1959) is a Canadian-born writer and conservative political commentator."
 * I summed this up at Talk:Mark Steyn, hopefully fairly and helpfully. Reading that will give a quick and (I hope) fair overview. Since we see a 5-5-2 (or maybe 6-6) split in headcount, it looks like our options are to run another (properly listed) RfC on this fairly trivial matter, or for some uninvolved person to decide based on strength of argument. (I hope that the person deciding would consider best practices for ledes generally and what we do with similar articles, but that's up to her.) It can be done in about an hour or so is my guess.

Administrators' noticeboard/Archive258
Would an admin assess the consensus at Administrators' noticeboard/Archive258 (initiated 6 January 2014)? There may not be a consensus for the proposals there, but I note that the subject of the discussion posted at Administrators' noticeboard that: "I would be more than happy to accept a six month requirement that before I move any article to the main space that heavily relies on Spanish language sources, that it be vetted by a native language Spanish speaker who has read all the sources and checked the accuracy of my text against the article, and then have that person comment on the draft article talk page before moving it."

The opening poster wrote: "This article as is, is entirely focused on the psychological usage, and totally ignores the common usage of the phrase. I am not sure of the best way to resolve this. Maybe this should be a disambiguation page or, else, the page should explain both usages in the lede with two main sections for each usage?" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Username policy/RFC (initiated 5 December 2013)? The discussion is listed at Template:Centralized discussion which says that this is "[a] general discussion for purposes of a periodic review of the username policy and enforcement of same". There are some concrete proposals there, such as at Username policy/RFC which discusses whether "names that might otherwise be blockable should be given more leniency if their only edits are to articles for creation". A closure could help in revising Username policy if there is any consensus for any of the proposals. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
