    Thank you, Jafeluv (talk · contribs), Beeblebrox (talk · contribs), and The Blade of the Northern Lights (talk · contribs) for your closures. Cunard (talk) 22:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]


    Requests for closure

    Talk:Anti-Christian sentiment#Israel

    Would an admin assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:Anti-Christian sentiment#Israel (see the subsection at Talk:Anti-Christian sentiment#RFC: the inclusion/exclusion of various incidents of discrimination and intolerance against Christians in Israel)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 00:08, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons)#Pathfinder reference and Talk:Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons)#Kenzer reference

    Would an admin assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons)#Pathfinder reference and Talk:Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons)#Kenzer reference (initiated 25 June 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 00:15, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Jared Lee Loughner#RFC: To atheist or not to atheist

    Would an admin assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:Jared Lee Loughner#RFC: To atheist or not to atheist (initiated 29 June 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 01:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Now archived at Talk:Jared_Lee_Loughner/Archive_3#RFC:_To_atheist_or_not_to_atheist. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 07:04, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Now un-archived. Please close the discussion. Could someone determine if this edit by another user forced the archiving of an RfC awaiting a close? Viriditas (talk) 09:41, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that edit has made the bot archive the section. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:48, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Note that the RFC Bot had removed the RFC notice automatically, as RFC's expire automatically at 30 days of age. This occurred PRIOR to my edit. Safiel (talk) 16:20, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I will place a Do Not Archive template on that thread to prevent it from rearchiving prior to admin closure. Safiel (talk) 18:17, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 89#Reference Tooltips

    At Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure/Archive 3#Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Reference Tooltips, David1217 (talk · contribs) wrote that "Closure is no longer necessary. A VPM discussion closed as (rough) support for enabling ReferenceTooltips by default, and the relevant MediaWiki gadgets page has been modified to make the tooltips default." I cannot find the VPM discussion that was closed with rough support for enabling Reference Tooltips by default. Would David1217 or another user who knows the location of the discussion close Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 89#Reference Tooltips with a pointer to the VPM discussion to provide documentation? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 01:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    The VPM discussion is already archived at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)/Archive_38#ReferenceTooltips. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 07:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for the link, Armbrust, but I don't see how the discussion was "closed as (rough) support for enabling ReferenceTooltips by default", as stated by David1217 (talk · contribs). Cunard (talk) 00:35, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Well I don't know, but Reference Tooltips were enabled as defeault, as I have to opt-out. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 05:57, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay. Would someone summarize the discussion's consensus for documentation purposes and link to any Bugzilla request (if there is any) that implemented Reference Tooltips? Cunard (talk) 00:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Talk:Shrimp#Request for comment

    The discussion at Talk:Shrimp#Request for comment has been at times contentious, with users contesting closer John (talk · contribs)'s neutrality. Would a completely uninvolved admin assess the consensus at Talk:Shrimp#Request for comment, taking into account this comment by John (talk · contribs) and this comment by Dennis Brown (talk · contribs), two admins who were asked to review the discussion? Cunard (talk) 01:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Offender9000
