Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:2014 Jerusalem synagogue attack/Archive 3#Request for comment on media section (Initiated 3647 days ago on 2 December 2014)? The "Media coverage" section is currently in the article. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 22:11, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Windy Corner, Isle of Man#RfC: Proposed merge to Snaefell Mountain Course (Initiated 3638 days ago on 11 December 2014)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 22:11, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Could an experienced editor, preferably an admin, close this RFC (Initiated 3620 days ago on 29 December 2014). It concerns whether there should be references in the lead to the Kurds being an "Iranian people". It's a highly contentious topic that is prone to drive-by edit-warring. A proposal to resolve the issue was made in the following thread and discussion now seems to come to an end. But the drive-by edit warring continues. It would be good to see if we have a long-term solution out of the RFC, backed by an experienced editor's assessment. DeCausa (talk) 20:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Requesting an uninvolved editor to close this RfC that I initiated. Most were "no", although Nyttend voted no but stated the temple should be included. I would appreciate someone reviewing the arguments and close the RfC. [(Initiated 3620 days ago on 29 December 2014)] Thanks, Bahooka (talk) 01:23, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Not closed but I trust the consensus is clear enough for an unambiguous closure. One editor asserted there had never been any prior discussions - see also Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive196#Michael_Grimm_.28politician, Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive199#Michael_Grimm_.28politician, Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive197#Michael_Grimm_.28politician.29_query.

This RfC has only been going on for three weeks, but the discussion has well and truly ended, with no contribution for more than a week. (Also, it's a continuation of a previous discussion, and so the issue has been dragging on a long time.) I thought the consensus was clear to exclude the text under discussion, but I checked with the lone "include" !voter and he or she didn't think so.

- Note: This is covered in Kraxler's request below where the argument that a close where the closer finds strong arguments against a proposal is not valid, although the policies and guidelines specify that a closer may due so. The Successionbox close is not at issue as the infobox != successionbox. Cheers. Collect (talk) 14:39, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

- The RfC was closed with a faulty rationale by User:JzG. Could someby have another look at it. I added a comment there to make clear what I find fault with. Kraxler (talk) 13:56, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose as the closure was fine except the proposer thinks "arguments against are rather strong" is an invalid close. The proposer now thinks he can unilaterally void the prior RfC by [1] I hereby give notice that the previous "consensus" is no further recognized as such. You can't eat your cake and have it too. I suggest we abide by WP:CONSENSUS and recognize that a closer may note the arguments against are rather strong without facing this sort of request (noting the closer JzG was not notified of this action) Collect (talk) 14:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- The closing rationale is faulty because it is not discernable what was the result. Especially in relation to the previously established "consensus". So what was the result? The closer states that there was consensus for the proposal, but somehow, with parts struck through, there is something else. Also, if 20 can not establish enough consensus to be taken seriously, why could 14? Come on Collect, that's a simple question. Why can 14, and 20 can not? I would be willing to respect consensus, if someone could tell me what is the consensus. Kraxler (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Would an admin look at these three DRV discussions, close them and eventually re-close (or relist wit an appropriate rationale) the three relevant AfDs? The situation requires an immediate action, as the AfD closes were vacated and the three AfDs are "virtually" reopened, and, citing one editor, "AfD and DRV running on the same article at the same time is just crazy".

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 118#Turn the MoodBar back on (Initiated 3614 days ago on 4 January 2015)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 01:12, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- The consensus seems clear, but from the page history it seems that this was never advertised as an RfC. As such, I'm not sure if a close would be helpful here, since it could be challenged on the grounds of needing input from a wider section of the community before a site-wide change. Any thoughts on closing with this rationale, and/or reopening the discussion with the RfC template attached? Sunrise (talk) 05:58, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- I would be fine with closing it or reopening and relisting it as an RfC. Cunard (talk) 01:08, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- I lean towards relisting myself - I think it's the wisest choice given the potential problems should the closure be challenged. I'd prefer input from at least a couple more editors before proceeding with that though. :-) Sunrise (talk) 08:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

This is a discussion on a topic that has, in the past, proved so controversial that general sanctions are in force. For that reason, and because of the general sanctions, it would be very useful for us to actually have an external editor judge whether consensus has been reached or not - as opposed to the discussion just being removed mysteriously from the page with no explanation given beyond an edit summary claiming that no admin is needed. The risk at present is that people might act on a consensus that they believe might exist in this discussion, only to be sanctioned under the general sanctions if admins at WP:AN disagree. It may be that no admin is formally needed to close the discussion - any uninvolved editor can close the discussion after all - but it would be entirely false to say that a close would serve no purpose or is not needed. It really is.
So would an uninvolved editor please close the discussion. If you feel the point is obvious, then great! In that case, please close it with a statement of the obvious. But it does need to be closed. Kahastok talk 23:01, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- As the initiator of the discussion in question, I concur with the need for an uninvolved editor or admin to review the discussion and determine whether a consensus has indeed been reached. The whole purpose of this discussion, as Kahastok touched upon, was to determine a consensus for the use of metric vs. imperial units in the infobox of various personnel in association football. Without getting into too much detail here, the desire is to have a WikiProject-wide guideline for the use of height and weight units and how they would be inserted without the need for a discussion on every article which might be UK related as presently required by WP:GS/UKU. The need for an uninvolved editor or admin is to avoid any appearance of the process being railroaded by a few editors. — Jkudlick tcs 00:19, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

states : This RfC will run for 30 days or until a clear consensus emerges. It is recommended that this RfC be closed by an Admin - one who has no previous involvement in the AfC process. This RfC for an emergency measure has run for 11 days and participation has tailed off; a consensus appears to have been reached so would an uninvolved admin please consider closing it. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:10, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
From here at WP:AN:
Would an admin assess the consensus the consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/RfC to physically restrict access to the Helper Script (initiated 5 February 2015)? According to this post at WP:ANRFC, this is an "RfC for an emergency measure". Thank you, Cunard (talk) 00:31, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- You mean to assess if there is a clear consensus? Despite this being an emergency measure, the RfC itself says "this RfC will run for 30 days or until a clear consensus emerges" so it should probably be allowed to continue to run the 30 days if there is no clear consensus. BTW, I'm seeing !votes on 1st February so I think the 5 February date must be wrong. Nil Einne (talk) 14:48, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Cunard (talk) 08:08, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- I see that an involved party (namely, the user making the original proposal) has taken it upon himself to close the RfC even though he is *not* uninvolved, the RfC has only run for 15 of the normal 30 days and the proposal is controversial. I believe this should be reverted at once, but would prefer not to become involved in an edit war by reverting it myself. Comments? K7L (talk) 06:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Can an experienced editor assess the consensus at the above page?

- {{not done}} This has a lot of salient discussion, and nice to see references, but it still seems to be in the "brainstorming" phase. I suggest delisting this one, but leave it open, suggesting they come back here when they're closer to a consensus, or someone flips a coin, or whatever. - jc37 06:23, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- I missed your comment, and was closing it, when I did read it. I undid what I did. AlbinoFerret 15:19, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- Nod. One of the main things to consider when closing an rfc from this page is whether it "needs" to be closed. If the result is "no consensus" due to it being all over the place with multiple suggestions, then delisting and leaving open as a brainstorming session is perfectly fine. Though, sometimes you should close brainstorming sessions. It's part of closer discretion. When I close what seems to me a brainstorming session, I try to give a longer close, summarising the discussion, etc. Anyway, all that aside, thank you very much for your help closing here, it's much appreciated (even if you never hear the appreciation : ) - jc37 15:29, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

This RfC was open for 6 weeks, and saw no activitiy in the last 3 weeks (except a long discussion between me and GregKaye which in my opinion has no direct bearing on the question in the RfC). Can someone neutral please assess whether a consensus was reached and if so - what it is. Thanks, “WarKosign” 20:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
- Can I please ask any admin involve to note that the RfC started in he context that the content started with an in template title "largest urban areas of Israel. "Urban areas" reverted to "cities" and "of" was changed to "in"? The topic of this RfC also relates to the topic of a parallel RfC located at Talk:List of cities in Israel#RfC best resolution of title and content and I think that it would make sense for both RfCs to be handled together. I also think that it would be of great help if a truly neutral editor who has sufficient interest in the topic area take this on as, IMO, it is a fairly involved topic.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Project for the New American Century#RfC (Initiated 3561 days ago on 26 February 2015)? The opening poster wrote:
[3] removes a second quote from a source still being used for the statement: British MP Michael Meacher, made similar allegations in 2003, stating that Rebuilding America's Defences was "a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana," which had been "drawn up for" key members of the Bush administration
The material removed further cites Meacher specifically for
- it is clear the US authorities did little or nothing to pre-empt the events of 9/11. It is known that at least 11 countries provided advance warning to the US of the 9/11 attacks. Two senior Mossad experts were sent to Washington in August 2001 to alert the CIA and FBI to a cell of 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation (Daily Telegraph, September 16 2001). The list they provided included the names of four of the 9/11 hijackers, none of whom was arrested.
Was the second quote properly removed as UNDUE or should it remain per NPOV? 21:57, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Per WP:RFC I am offering an alternative statement here since I do not believe the above is an accurate reflection of the question being debated. Alternative statement would be:
Is the lengthy quote necessary, or was it rightly removed as part of a broader effort to reduce the number of block quotes in the article? Is it necessary for Meacher's views on September 11 to be quoted at length in this section, or should his views be summarized/paraphrased (with appropriate citations) instead?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The consensus is overwhelmingly (unanimously) in favor of the suggested limited IBAN between Alansohn and Magnolia677. The subjects themselves have expressed approval, but seem to waver and continue their unfriendly interaction during the discussion. In any case, it seems not a single unintersted party who's read the case opposes the suggestion, and I am basically requesting a snow close by an uninvolved admin to effect the limited IBAN. (This case has come at least one way or another to ANI or ArbCom 21 (!) times.) BTW, I've templated the page, but that doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

Not an RfC but i don't know where else to put this. Looking for a close on this thread. Jytdog (talk) 14:50, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- As the subject of this incident, I agree that it would be nice to close the thread. Since the thread became very long, I'd like to highlight that the original report pinged every user whom JYTDog felt had problems with my editing. The result ended up being a form of WP:Votestacking although I do not mean to imply that he did this intentionally. Most of the editors who participated were pinged in the original message. Most of the remaining editors who were not pinged had previously interacted with JYTDog in some capacity (both mostly positive but some negatives too).
- I recognize original filing is not without merit. A personal content dispute resulted in a battleground and I take personal responsibility for my actions. JYTDog and Formerly98 were party to the battleground as other participants in the incident report have noted. It would be impossible for this to be the result of a single editor. JYTDog also agreed that this is a personal content dispute is at play. If this incident is closed, I will consciously modify my editing style going forward so that this does not come back to the noticeboards. If JYTDog and Formerly98 do the same, this won't be an issue any longer. Doors22 (talk) 17:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Consensus has been reached among editors during the discussion. No need for the RfC to drag on. Four editors have responded to the "Survey", all four agree on the same points. Request an uninvolved editor to close per the consensus the content should be reworded, but will stay in early life section. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 14:03, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- @PBS Consensus has most certainly not been reached. I am the originator of the RFC and it has been a quite controversial RFC to say the least. Please see here:
The user @winkelvi has gone as far as reverting a message to from administrator @PBS on my talk page. I reported this to admin PBS and he warned user winkelvi in the diffs above.
No consensus has been reached, and to date only like 3-5 editors have even comment or voted. I would ask that the RFC be let to run a normal course of time to ensure the maximun number of editors may comment or vote so that we may reach a true consensus, Thank-you. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Cheers! WordSeventeen (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Consensus has been reached, all four editors who have responded to the "Survey" agree unanimously. It defies logic to keep the RfC going and the content from being fixed according to the consensus. There's been no controversy, just typical back and forth via discussion. The "reverting a message to from administrator @PBS" on W17s talk page was merely a mistake/finger tap error on my tablet. I immediately reverted after realizing my error. Not sure why W17 thinks that moment is relevant to this RFC request. I would like to mention, however, that W17 has been warned previously about WP:HOUNDING me by both Drmies and PBS. It seems to me that the only way he would have ended up here is through continued hounding activity and stalking my edits. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 15:52, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- Many of the statements and baseless allegations made above in the posting by user winkelvi are incorrect. I note that winkelvi continues to rant on and on and on without any diffs, or actual proof of what h/she wants people to think. The picture s/he is attempting to draw is misleading and a misrepresentation of the truth. Also winkelvi is currently forum shopping and admin shopping evidenced by first going to @Drmies, and then @PBS, and the current admin shoppee looks to be @Cool Hand Luke. see here:[11] Winkelvi has been warned by admin @PBS as shown in the diffs above in my earlier posting. This diff that spells it out the best in the Warning made to winkelvi on their talk page by PBS.[12] I am personally sickened by the constant battleground behaviours WP:BATTLEGROUND by user winkelvi that I have outlined above. winkelvi is just continuing to try and stir up drama and trouble, and his doing so is continuing to cause disruption to the encyclopedia. I have reported the numerous disruptions by winkelvi on the talk page of admin PBS that can be read in multiple postings by me on the PBS talk page. see here:[13] sections 71, 78, and 79. I am washing my hands of this entire matter and will have no further comments about the disruptions caused by user winkelvi other than to say he is not showing WP:AGF. He is guilty of WP:HOUNDING me, and has caused repeated disruptions here at wikipedia, and is not here to build an encyclopedia, but is here instead to cause disruption and drama, as is evidenced by a block log which shows multiple blocks, and by his numerous disputes with a series of different editors. winkelvi needs to be told and shown by someone he will actually listen to that Wikipedia is not therapy. WP:THERAPY I am going to just continue with my goal of improving the encyclopedia, improving articles, and working in collaboration with editors here to do the same. Thank you. Cheers!

Admins, I needed to stir controversy to prove a point I KNEW was right before I did what I did, and I got stonewalled. Take a look up and see. These people who refused to edit their work and ignored what actually were valid complaints. Please take a look before I invoke someone's wrath once again. We need permission to override this silly excuse for a consensus. Nobody else seems to be willing to give any leeway at all to anyone who isn't one of them in this article. Kind of urgent.
People have been defending this left and right as consensus when it clearly is not.
People may feel like I deceived them but it's only for dishonest reasons.

Pursuant to the discussion currently being held at the Village Pump, if there is determined to be a consensus that another move discussion is permissible with respect to Hillary Rodham Clinton, such a discussion will likely be initiated sometime within the next few weeks. As with the previous effort on this matter, it is requested that a three-admin panel be convened to determine the consensus of the community in this discussion. Such a panel should be composed of three administrators who are experienced in closing RMs, and who are uninvolved with article at issue, and have not previously participated in these discussions. The panel members would be expected to monitor the discussion and enforce civility and protocol, and close it at the end of the allotted discussion period. In light of the last experience, it would also be appreciated if the panel members were to make sure to be available to close the discussion and make a determination of consensus quickly. bd2412 T 04:04, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

- Am happy to volunteer if theres a general view that a three-closer panel is needed. I think the panel idea should be flagged at the RfC, in case this (also) is subject to objection. Not suggesting a !vote on it, just something noting this is the proposed close method. -- Euryalus (talk) 12:56, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

The exact same thing happened in the last RM - I was asked to request a panel, I requested one just as I requested this one, and the panel that was assembled closed the discussion as they did.

- Suggestion It occured to me that it might be beneficial for the members of the closing panel not to be from the same national/regional/cultural background i.e. not all from the U.S. and not all from other countries. I would think, in reflection on List of countries by English-speaking population, that a potentially neutral mix would be to have one admin from the U.S. and two from other locations. Its just a suggestion. GregKaye 18:23, 1 May 2015 (UTC)]]

- A note to potential closers – In order for this closure to be accepted, it must meet the standard set by the last closure, which was quite high in terms of thoroughness. I'd ask that the closers take a look at the research done by closer TParis. Such research is representative of the standard that must be met in the closure of this current request. RGloucester — ☎ 03:38, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- RGloucester, I don't argue that it would be good for closure to be enacted to a high standard but, when you say "

", accepted by who? The last RM went through the process that you mentioned and still came to a decision that was widely questioned and which went to MR. GregKaye 18:12, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

(I don't think there's some grand conspiracy by the Aussies, perhaps just the time that the "request for volunteers" was posted meant Australians were more likely to be editing.) Given that it has been asserted in the discussion that "Hillary Rodham Clinton" is more prevalent in North America than elsewhere in the world, given the spirit of wp:ties, and given wp:bias, a majority-male (or, possibly, all male), majority-Australian group of closers is interesting. Justen (talk) 00:58, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- BD2412 re gender, I have compiled information that has been visibly available at Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request#Survey of participant's gender (by biology or specified preference) and residency/nationality as presented in user page content in reference to !votes. I don't know if other editors have added content themselves but I think that so far it seems to me there is an even split between female and male, supporters and opposers. GregKaye 11:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- I have no objection to having a mixed-gender panel at all. If a female admin (or two) wishes to volunteer to participate in the closing panel, they can work out with the three (apparently male) volunteers above what the final composition of a closing panel will be. bd2412 T 18:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- Re geographical composition, I also think it does not make sense for the majority of closers being non-American, with no criticism of Australians or the volunteers to be inferred. I agree with Justen's comment above on this, but would take it beyond it being interesting, and say it would be preferable for the makeup of the closers to be more Americans (and fewer males).

- I strongly reject the idea that sex discriminatory criteria should be involved in establishing the panel. Such criteria in establishing is as wrong as using race as a criteria. As for nationality, I don't understand why being an American should be a criteria. We should be looking for three competent Wikipedia editors, even if they end up being three Siberian hermaphrodites. SMP0328. (talk) 03:25, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- It matters. It matters because it was actually asserted in the discussion that most newspapers outside of North America refer to her as "Hillary Clinton," while most in North America refer to her as "Hillary Rodham Clinton" on first reference. It matters since our policy and style certainly lean towards respecting the norms local to a given subject in English-speaking countries. And it matters because, although I'm male, I wouldn't presume that a group of male editors similar to myself would be able to bring the same diversity of perspective as a group of female editors could bring — especially when it comes to a wp:blp subject choosing to maintain her maiden name as a core part of her identity and a contingent of the Wikipedia editorial community saying her decision doesn't really matter. And, certainly, we should strive for more ethnic and gender diversity in all of our editing community. But pretending it doesn't matter ignores the reality of systemic bias. Justen (talk) 03:47, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
- Whether it matters or not, the point seems to be moot. A request was made for a neutral panel, and three editors volunteered. The question of gender/geographic diversity was not raised until the discussion was in the backlog; it was noted at that time that female admins would be welcome to volunteer to serve on the panel (which would displace one or more of the presumably male panel members). However, no one else has stepped forward, and the panel is now in the process of deliberating the close. bd2412 T 04:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Would an admin assess the consensus at the RfC at User talk:Valoem/Involuntary celibacy#Requesting permission to restore User:Valoem/Involuntary celibacy to mainspace - another round of AfD (Initiated 3544 days ago on 15 March 2015)? Please note that the discussion is also transcluded to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2015 March 31. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 23:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Just a sidenote, I believe BusterD assessed the situation that Coffee had opened this as a RfC acting in the capacity of an AfD, so there question becomes whether there was ever consensus to delete the subject. If the outcome does favor me, I still have a few more updates regarding title changes to fix. I feel at worst the contents of the article should allow another round of AfD at worst. Valoem talk contrib 02:32, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
- No, this deletion was endorsed at DRV and you opened this ridiculous RFC to try get round this. Any admin closing this as nc defaults to retain the material will be at DRV so fast their head will spin. Spartaz Humbug! 13:09, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Technically, this article has never been deleted by prod, AfD or CSD. The 1st Afd was a clear keep, 2nd AfD closed as merge, but editors at the merge target wouldn't allow inclusion. Such a DRV, not being AfD round 2, cannot endorse a deletion never so closed. Instead previous closer User:Coffee by own admission first listed this at RFC but also later transcluded at AFD (and even relisted twice, though I can't find it in the logs for those dates), not DRV. I would concur with other editors in this thread that closure is past due. Like User:Aquillion below, I'd prefer the closer thoroughly read the discussion on the page, and not read out-of-context arguments from this thread. BusterD (talk) 06:01, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Incorrect there was plenty of support from administrators in this matter to view the RfC in this capacity, what you have done is essentially attempt enforce a close your favor. We should not operate like this. By the way there is a strong policy based consensus why this should be retained. Valoem talk contrib 01:51, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- Obviously, I've commented there (and I won't rehash all the reasons I think you're wrong about there being reasons to retain it), but as far as the appropriate forum to discuss it goes, I'll say basically the same thing: Administrators can't arbitrarily choose to go around AFD and DRV, at least not without giving a decent reason; and nobody involved in this has even given a particularly good rationale why it shouldn't just go to DRV (beyond your own desire to have a failure to reach consensus default to "restore", which is not a very good reason.) Obviously an article that was removed under a legitimate AFD (and then a went through a legitimate DRV that decided against restoration) cannot be restored based solely on a failure to reach consensus in a RFC on your talk page; if you want to argue that the AFD was not legitimate, you are perfectly aware that the appropriate place to take that is DRV (as I recall, you did take it there, once before, and it failed decisively.) More generally, it is just common sense that a RfC that fails to reach consensus has no effect, which means the article remains deleted per the previous AFD and DRV results; again, if you want to appeal those, you know the appropriate venue (and regardless of venue, you would at least have to reach a clear consensus to restore!) --Aquillion (talk) 04:31, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Closers typically have some discretion as it regards their own closes. In this case, the closer chose to go along with Valoem and list at RFC and then transclude at AFD. If Coffee had wanted this at DRV, as closer that editor certainly could have taken it there. Coffee didn't. BusterD (talk) 06:43, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Administrative close only, Mdann52 close was completely improper given the long history of this article. He also failed to determine that WP:MEDRS is improper rational for no to restoration it was already debated this cannot be applied as this is a social condition not medical one.

I closed as no one else was likely to close. As for the MEDRS point, it was only mentioned as other editors said it is a good idea - I have already addressed this on my talk page.

An RfC and a survey was opened following inconsistency and edit-war for place in the collage at infobox top. After long discussion a list of 30 people and a resulting collage image was made. This process started on March 31. A total of 122 nominations were made, 29 editors voted, 14 editors discussed, 2 filter systems were discussed and merged, 11 editors have agreed to ratify it, 3 editors complained, 1 editor remained apprehensive. This is time for closing this long discussion. An non-involved admin would be the right person to do it. –nafSadh did say 06:30, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor deliver the baby assess the consensus at Talk:Fox_News_Channel#RfC - Should the lead paragraph about disputed bias refer to the accusers as "many observers" or "some observers"?
(Initiated 3757 days ago on 14 August 2014) This RFC has been templated and open for 9 1/2 months! It fell through the cracks either because the RFC template used was a redirect to the actual RFC template, or perhaps because the RFC maintenance software was confused by a fictional year-2252 comment date.
Micro summary: RfC asked about usage of "some" vs "many" in the lede. Late in the process some editors came up with an alternate well sourced wording. That alternate appears to have been stable for the last 7 months. Perhaps close it as stale? Or maybe an obvious No Consensus on the "some vs many", and some non-binding comment that the article now has a stable alternate wording? Alsee (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
