Revision as of 07:01, 25 March 2013
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.
The RfC Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Archive 12#Review discussed how to appeal RfC closes and whether a non-admin's RfC close could be summarily overturned by an admin.
Requests for closure
Article namespace
Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Proposed_change
Requesting an uninvolved admin to review and close this proposed change to the Featured Picture Criteria. It's become a heated debate on both sides. — raekyt 06:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

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)

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.

Talk:Cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact
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.

- Start a new thread on WP:AN called something like "Closure review of Simple English proposal at Village Pump". Provide a link to the previous discussion (which is in the archive now), and a neutrally worded assessment of why you think the closure was incorrect. Administrators, not the original participants, need to be able to look it over and comment on whether the closure should be changed. A review needs to happen at WP:Administrators' Noticeboard, not where the original RfC was posted (ie, the talk page mentioned above). Is that clear? PS, I had completely forgotten that this board gets transcluded to the top of WP:AN when we get backlogged. VanIsaacWS Vexcontribs 23:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs/coverversions
RfC open since November 2009. A recent MfD closed as "Wrong venue" is also relevant: Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs_Cover-versions_and_multiple-renditions. Underlying question is whether cover versions of songs ever deserve their own articles. Secondary issue is whether the Wikproject section Wikipedia:WikiProject_Songs#Cover-versions.2Fmultiple-renditions should be moved to WP:NM, since it looks like the Wikiproject guideline is being observed with the force of content policy. Redirects WP:SONGCOVER and WP:COVERDISCUSS will also need to be tidied up. --Surturz (talk) 04:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- UPDATE: recent discussion here found consensus to add a line to WP:NSONGS to indicate that normally separate renditions are all merged into a single article about the song. That probably trumps everything that has gone before. --Surturz (talk) 05:25, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Template talk:COI editnotice#Request for Comment (initiated 5 February 2013)? The opening poster wrote:
There are two issues that appear to need more discussion:
1. Should this be an edit-notice for company articles or a Talk page template?2. Should it be added to all company articles or just those that show problematic COI behavior?
3. Amendment: Should it be added to the Talk page AND as an editnotice?

- Comment - Several users, myself included, have considered that sanctions are needed for the editor in question. Given that nearly all of the commenters at RFC/U are practically unanimous and the fact that Niemti has been disruptive, several have agreed that being editors who make valuable contributions does not excuse them for unacceptable or incivil behavior. If I shouldn't be advocating a position on the close in this section, let me know and I'll strike the comment. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:21, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
