- 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.

Would an admin assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Category:International aquatic competitions hosted in Spain (initiated 16 December 2013)? The last post was 19 December 2013. An uninvolved admin wrote:
Not convinced that 3RR applies here. The bottom line is that the categories need to be repopulated and a full discussion started if someone wants to move content. This is not a content dispute, it is a naming convention issue!
The opening poster has not repopulated the categories. Admin guidance would be helpful in determining whether the opening poster is allowed to undo the out-of-process category renaming based on the discussion's consensus which would prevent the opening poster from being accused of edit warring.

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. It was opened early on 21 December 2013, so it has been going for at least seven days. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#When nominations for awards is all there is (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)#PORNBIO again (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)#When nominations for awards is all there is) a subsection of the earlier section about the dispute (Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#PORNBIO again). 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 most recent edit to the guideline page, an uninvolved editor's closure is requested. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
- Done 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)
- @Scott Martin: 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)
Facepalm 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)- @Scott Martin: 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).

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.

Someone else can add that if it's felt to be necessary." User:Thibbs was a part of the discussion and his close should probably be reverted per WP:INVOLVED and then the RFC closed appropriately. There has been no discussion since 20 November 2013. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 03:00, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
- 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)

My initial request was not to change widowed and survived to "d." but to change "d." to the obviously unambiguous "div.", I think now it is better to change this template so that instead of using abbreviations we've made up ourselves, we use abbreviations that are already common practice:
These abbreviations in brackets beside the spouse's name would indicate to me that they apply to the spouse, i.e. the spouse died or was widowed in that year.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Mark Steyn#Request for Comment (initiated 24 October 2013)? Although the RfC has only two participants, previous discussions on the talk page have had significant participation:
- Talk:Mark Steyn#human rights (initiated 24 August 2013)
- Talk:Mark Steyn#"human rights activist" or "free speech activist"? (initiated 22 October 2013)
- Talk:Mark Steyn#So now we have a edit war (initiated 22 October 2013)
My recommendation to the closer is to make the later sections on the talk page (Talk:Mark Steyn#"human rights activist" or "free speech activist"?, Talk:Mark Steyn#So now we have a edit war, and Talk:Mark Steyn#Request for Comment) subsections of the earlier section about the dispute Talk:Mark Steyn#human rights. 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#Arbitrarary break, let's look at where we are, 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.

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Date range redux (initiated 25 November 2013; relisted as an RfC 29 December 2013)? The last comment was made on 8 January 2013. The second poster in the discussion wrote:
Request to formally insert language that an 8-digit date range format be allowable for sport tenures. This was discussed ad nauseum to no firm resolution in April (see here)
A number of the participants have supported this editor's proposal based on a cursory review, though I don't know if it rises to the level of a consensus. The discussion is listed at Template:Centralized discussion. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Username policy/RFC#"Only edits are to AFC submission" 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 Wikipedia:Username policy if there is any consensus for any of the proposals. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 08:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
