 | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Wikipedia. Most discussions do not need to follow a formal process for closing and summarizing the result.
Requests for closure
Article namespace
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Frank L. VanderSloot#Synthesis and sources (initiated 19 October 2012 and a subsection of which is Talk:Frank L. VanderSloot#Request for Comment) and Talk:Frank L. VanderSloot#Request for Comment 2 (initiated 15 November 2012). I have not read the two discussions, though both may be related to the same issue and should likely be considered by the same closer. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Comment: First discussion is now archived at Talk:Frank_L._VanderSloot/Archive_4#Synthesis_and_sources. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at the RfC at Talk:Meša Selimović#Ethnicity and understanding of "nacionalnost" in former Yugoslavia (initiated 13 November 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- Comment Discussion now archived at Talk:Meša Selimović/Archives/2012/November. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:ALCAT test#RFC:Neutrality and reliable sources (initiated 19 October 2012)? The opening poster wrote: "Is the lead neutral? It seems to be excessive in dismissing the ALCAT test and objectively labeling it as 'not supported by research'." Thanks, Cunard (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Joan Crawford#Request for Comment regarding (alleged) bisexuality (initiated 20 November 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Nuveen Investments#RFC Reboot (initiated 6 December 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:BP#Request for comment (initiated 16 December 2012)? The original question posed was:
How the 'Environmental record', 'Accidents', and 'Political record' sections of this article, taking account the existing main articles of subsections of these sections, should be cleaned-up and/or developed to ensure their compliance with different Wikipedia policies, inter alia WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE, WP:SOAP
Another editor rephrased the question to be: "How about, 'Are the above WP policies being properly applied to this article?'" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Cydia#RfC (initiated 13 December 2012)? Please review Talk:Cydia##RfC meta-discussion as well. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:List of indigenous peoples#RfC: Should the Palestinians be included on the list on the basis of tacit UN recognition since at least 2009? (initiated 14 December 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:United States/Archive 42#Request for Comment -- Introduction first paragraph (initiated 4 December 2012)? The question posed was:
Should this article refer to the United States as consisting of fifty states and a federal district, or also include the territories as well? It presently notes the country as possessing, rather than being partially comprised of, the territories.
Because the discussion has been archived, there are two methods to implement the close: (i) Move the discussion back to the talk page and close it and (ii) Close the discussion, keeping it in the talk page archive, and announce the result on the talk page. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Prime Minister of Croatia#Article split (initiated 25 November 2012)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive#Request for Comment: Result of the Offensive (initiated 25 November 2012)? The question posed was:
What is the best way to accurately describe the result of this specific offensive? Was it a "strategic Soviet victory" or not? How should that be reflected in the infobox and the article text?
Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- I contacted Lord Roem (talk · contribs) who indicated he would close the discussion. Cunard (talk) 02:24, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, if anyone would like to close it, please feel free to do so. There was very little discussion though that got anywhere near consensus. :-/ Lord Roem ~ (talk) 03:37, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Hezekiah's Tunnel#RfC: categorization (initiated 1 December 2012)? The question posed was: "Should this page be included in Category:Tunnels in Israel?" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Kukri#RfC: Kukris in popular culture (initiated 14 December 2012)? The opening poster wrote: "I request assistance on by what standards examples should be included or not included in this section." Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact (initiated 16 December 2012)? The opening poster wrote:
A previous discussion on the featured-article status of this article resulted in a refusal of this status primarily because of a dispute regarding whether or not the title made assumptions whether or not extraterrestrial contact had occurred, or whether the reference to cultural impact implied that the article should only discuss arts, literature, and society, as opposed to science and technology. Please discuss here what would be a better title in light of the linked discussion.
Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Chiropractic#RfC perspective from new set of eyes (initiated 7 January 2013)? The RfC tag was removed, and tempers seem to be running high; see Talk:Chiropractic#What else do you suggest?. Feel free to move this to the premature requests section if a close at this time would be premature. Cunard (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons? Please also consider John Carter (talk · contribs)'s comment at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Categorization of persons#Possible wrapup:
I think that it would make sense, sometime in the future, to have the request for comment here be gone over by someone, possibly uninvolved, who could "boil down" the various comments into clear proposals.
