RFA discussions prior to June 2003 took place on a mailing list

Recently failed RfAs?
I was looking for a list of recently-failed RfAs, like there is for recently successful RfAs, and I couldn't find it. Did this exist, or am I just imagining it? I was looking for this because I wanted to see which RfAs had been closed recently, without digging through the page history. I only managed to find an alphabetical list. I found exvicious at Wikipedia:Unsuccessful_adminship_candidacies/E, but only because I remembered the name. I eventually found a chronological list at User:NoSeptember/List of failed RfAs (Chronological), but this seems to be updated less frequently. Would it be possible to make this all clearer, rather than spread between 'official' pages and 'user' pages? Carcharoth 16:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- User:NoSeptember/List of failed RfAs (Chronological) is updated frequently; it appears just about up-to-date to me. If you're looking for a list of failed RfAs, sans the chronological order, you should take a look at Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies, which is linked from the top of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. -- tariqabjotu 16:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info about the update frequency. I'll try and be a bit more patient. I was already aware of Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies, as that was where I found Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies/E... but thanks for that link as well. :-) What do you think about the material being split across Wikipedia and User space. Is that a problem or not? Carcharoth 17:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I think NoSeptember's page should be moved to the Wikipedia namespace. It doesn't pose as a problem right now on NoSeptember's userpage, but I just think moving to the Wikipedia namespace would be more logical. Nishkid64 18:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

- Responded on user's talk. Newyorkbrad 02:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think I should be intermittently reloading that talk page to see what you are about to say... ;-) Maybe I'll be patient and wait for you to stop writing! :-) Carcharoth 02:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there a reason this is not being closed for the better part of a day already? - crz crztalk 03:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I was also wondering that. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 03:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I was thinking of adding a !vote, but am not sure if that is OK after the 'deadline' has passed. Regarding the closure point, I would have thought that borderline cases would be allowed to run further to allow a consensus to develop one way or the other, but the proper way to do this would be to have a bureaucrat officially extend the closure date so that people can see how many more days are left. If this was done, I would then add my comments and !vote. Carcharoth 03:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- NB. 4 support votes added after the 'deadline' and 3 oppose votes added after the 'deadline' (as of the 61/17/4 tally. Carcharoth 03:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- RFA lottery... - crz crztalk 03:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- I am running for RFB. Right now... :) - crz crztalk 03:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
