Non-admin closure

I've just emulated you and made a non-admin closure of an AfD. How much discretion do nonadmins have on these? Would you say it has to be say a 90% keep vote?--Bedivere 20:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

The guidelines for non-admin closure are at WP:DPR#NAC. Pablo Talk | Contributions 20:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Great - cheers.--Bedivere 20:28, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

WPOR CoTW: Don Schollander & Conde McCullough

Greetings WPOR world. Last week was great with the Barlow Road seeing lots of improvement, maybe even B class. Columbia River Plateau also saw some improvement, maybe enough to bump it to Start. On with the countdown, another two Stubs in the High category, both happen to be people: Don Schollander a multi-gold medalist; and then world-renowned bridge architect and all-around swell guy Conde McCullough. Schollander needs sources more than anything, and McCullough needs more of a bio, plus maybe a nice chart for the bridges with type/year/location/length.

WikiOregon COTW

Greetings once again WikiProject Oregon members. Thank you to those who help out with improving Conde McCullough and Don Schollander last week. This week is a Stub break, with a Ref improvement drive for Oregon and a request for work on Portland Police Bureau. For the ref improvement, this means sourcing tagged statements and standardizing all existing citations, both of which are needed for GA and FA status.

Thanks for your comments

thanks for your comments on the ANI Re some editors attempting to get me booted:

Oppose Block on the condition that he cleans up his behavior, and he seems to be motivated to do so. However, I think he should be on a shorter leash. That is to say, a block would require less questionable behavior from Travb than from an "average" editor[1]

I stopped editing for two months so I missed this message. Thanks again. If there is anything you need or I can help you with, please let me know. Travb (talk) 00:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Collaboration of the Week

Howdy doody ya’ll WPOR poke, time for more COTW. Thanks for the work on Portland Police Bureau and improving the references at Oregon. This week we are back to Stubs with Eastern Oregon and Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. Both need just a little TLC to make it to Start.

Article for Deletion

I hope that I have completed the whole 3 steps for AFD (EuroBasket 2007 Final). Please let me know. --Avinesh Jose 09:06, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

• Could you please briefly tell me that, in the second step, what did I miss?

You mean I should have included: {{subst:afd 2|pg = EuroBasket 2007 Final |cat=|text=}} at the top of the discussion page? Am I correct? I’m asking because to learn the procedure.--Avinesh Jose 09:51, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of marine parks with Orcas

Haha, he really had me going with that one. I had no clue why he wanted to delete the article based on his reasoning. I was so confused. Thanks for clearing it up, I voted on both AfD's. Good luck editing!

I, too, thought it was odd that he was talking about orcas in a wrestling AfD. Pablo Talk | Contributions 02:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

My Rfa

Thanks for voting in my Rfa, which I withdrew from yesterday. Though I did not get promoted, I see this Rfa as being a success nonetheless. What I got out of this Rfa will help me to be a better, all around editor. Because of this Rfa I have decided to become better in other areas of editing. I'm not going to just be a vandalfighter. Though vandalfighting is good, being active in all areas of editing is even better. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

		My RFA
		Thanks for participating in my request for adminship, which ended with 56 supports, one oppose, and one neutral. I hope to accomplish beyond what is expected of me and work to help those that lent me their trust. east.718 at 02:30, 11/4/2007

What is the meaning of this? —Kurykh 03:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Since you're an established user with a good track record that's come back after a long absence to do that, I've blocked you as a possibly compromised account. east.718 at 04:00, December 28, 2007

Take Two: Request for change in consensus

Take Two: Request for change in consensus. Change title to "Franklin Child Abuse Allegations"

"A small group of editors can reach a consensual decision, but when the article gains wider attention, others may then disagree. The original group should not block further change on grounds that they already have made a decision. No one person, and no (limited) group of people, can unilaterally declare that community consensus has changed, or that it is fixed and determined."

The existing title "Franklin Coverup Hoax" is, in the opinion of many who have commented (Gyrofrog, Awfultin, Wayne, Tom1976, Conexion, Apostle 12), fatally biased. To start out saying that the subject material is a "hoax" is indefensible, especially when that point of view is hardly universal. A specially called county grand jury used the word "hoax;" that is all. And there is ample reason to believe that those who comprised the jury had a vested interest in protecting local people.

In the previous section, various editors commented on their support for, or opposition to, a name change to "Franklin Coverup Incident." Those who commented over the space of several days included Sherurcij, PopeFauveXXIII, Wayne, Orange Mike, Apostle12, and Rosicrucian.

Orange Mike came up with a suggestion: How about "Franklin Child Abuse Allegations"? Neutral, takes no position regarding "hoax" or "coverup" claims.

I support this newly proposed title change and am asking for additional comments at this time from concerned editors. Apostle12 (talk) 20:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
