Closing an infobox debate at Fermat's Last Theorem
Hi! Your experience was mentioned by RexxS (talk · contribs) for external independent dispute resolution of this lengthy conversation about the inclusion of this infobox on this article. It seems that the arguments involved are reaching maturity and there does not seem to be much changing of opinions anymore. If you're willing to help or point in the right direction, that would be very much appreciated! — MarkH21 (talk) 18:49, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
- Hi MarkH21 I can't make any guarantees until next week, I'm rather choc-a-bloc in the real world and so don't seem to have much time for anything on Wikipedia at the minute, let alone looking into and closing an infobox discussion. That said, I can see the light, and hopefully after Tuesday next my calendar becomes less hectic. If you can wait that long, I'd be happy to have a look at it. WormTT(talk) 08:36, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks, Dave, for offering to help at Fermat's Last Theorem. It is appreciated. --RexxS (talk) 23:45, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
- Not a problem. Been a while since I did something useful ;) WormTT(talk) 08:26, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry to come back to you, Dave, but I'm getting close to the end of my tether with the antics of some of the commentators at the the RfC Talk:Fermat's Last Theorem #Request for comment (RfC) on inclusion of Infobox mathematical statement. There has been continual personalisation, strawmen arguments, and tangential nonsense. I asked a week ago for the talk page to be explicitly placed under AC/DS per WP:ARBINFOBOX #Editors reminded's "decorum and civility" remedy at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement #Infobox RfC on Fermat's Last Theorem, but it's been ignored. I feel as though the only recourse to get that RfC back on the rails is to start ANI proceedings against several editors that I feel are abusing the RfC, which will be messy. Before I start, would you look at the RfC and tell me whether you think the standard of debate in there is acceptable, please? --RexxS (talk) 17:49, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- I've done my best to keep away from it, with a view to closing it later, especially as I don't really have time to monitor it properly. Unfortunately, I don't feel I should be adding enforcement, as a sitting arb, I try not to get involved with AE at all. Not that I ever really did it when I was not a sitting arb! I'm surprised it's been completely ignored though. Unfortunately, I'm not likely to be around to review things properly over the weekend - I don't generally use wikipedia at all during that time, but if things are still the same on Monday, I'll have a look.

- Okay, sorry, Dave, I wasn't thinking about you possibly closing it. In which case, you should definitely keep away. I'm not feeling quite so bad, as another editor (from the opposite side of the arguments} has just backed me up in trying to keep the debate focused on the actual issue. Hopefully it will settle down now. --RexxS (talk) 23:04, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

You are only tangentially involved, but since I mentioned your recommendation for context I felt that it would be proper to inform you. — MarkH21 (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
