Talk:University of Wisconsin–Whitewater#Request for comments

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:University of Wisconsin–Whitewater#Request for comments (initiated 14 April 2014). The opening poster wrote:

This talk page section sums up the issues concisely. The Controversy section of this article is poorly written. Its sole purpose appears to be to impugn the university. It overemphasizes a couple of incidents of questionable notability. AmericanDad86, who has been editing this section for months ([1]), has disregarded all comments of other editors ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]), may have edited anonymously ([9]), and I suspect has a conflict of interest, or at least an axe to grind.

  • Is the Controversy section of the article needed?
  • Is it fair, neutral,and balanced in tone and emphasis?
  • Does it contain the right amount of detail?
  • Is it well-written?

There are editors with valid points on both sides of the discussion, and everyone should have the chance to have their opinion heard. As a side note, you've only first joined the discussion 10 hours ago, so there is obviously still people with opinions who haven't comment yet. This should not be closed until 28 May 2014.

Talk:Dalmatia#RfC: Boundaries of the historical region of Dalmatia

An RfC has been opened on the Talk page of Dalmatia to have comments about the boundaries of this historical region and try to solve a long standing discussion between 5 users (User:Director, User:Silvio1973, User:Tomobe03, User:Bejnar, User:Joy. All users that had already participated previously to the discussion have again expressed their opinion in the RfC. Unfortunately User:Director ignored their comments and kept the article written his way. All attempts to make any modification to the article have been immediately reverted by Director. User:Silvio1973 has posted a discussion on the DRN but this has been closed because the existing RfC is still open. Can an expert administrator assist please? --Silvio1973 (talk) 14:51, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Hating, as this isn't the place to continue the dispute. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:15, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Silvio's comments regarding the position of other editors are demonstrably deceitful, as is his general representation of the nonsensical dispute he has created. The rest is on the talkpage. -- Director (talk) 15:17, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
While I do not always agree with editor User:Silvio1973's comments on the talk page, User:Silvio1973 has correctly stated my position here as agreeing that Director has placed undue emphasis on modern administrative boundaries in an article that is about an historical region. I also believe that it would benefit the Wikipedia if both User:Silvio1973 and Director would voluntarily take a break from editing Adriatic related articles, as from the talk page comments, emotions seem to be running high. --Bejnar (talk) 15:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for this precision Bejnar. Clearly after this RfC I will voluntarily take a long break from editing Adriatic related articles. Dealing with Director is genuinely astronomically difficult. Recent RfC, DRN and ANI where he was involved (all of them in non Adriatic related articles) show this difficulty is encountered also by other editors. Silvio1973 (talk) 15:54, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Yes, both Bejnar and Silvio seem to think this region no longer exists, and that therefore the modern-day boundary definition is somehow to be ignored. The absurdity of claiming "undue" is I think made very clear by the fact that the view they propose to sideline - now has by far more sources than any other [10], in the article and in the talkpage. -- Director (talk) 15:59, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
OK, so now we find out that it is not just myself who disagrees with you on this matter. Let's wait and see what user:Joy thinks about this issue. I remind you that only 5 editors contributed to this RfC... --Silvio1973 (talk) 16:05, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Oh gleee! Yes, you'd best hope to gather as many "votes" for your position, as you are plainly unable to reason for it at all. And that's the whole point of this mess you're raising, is it not? "I don't have an argument so I'd best woo people into supporting me"? -- Director (talk) 16:39, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Ugh. This RfC has been open for only 3 days, so not everyone with an opinion has had a chance to weigh in -- just you five. I'd wait a week to give the general community a chance to opine. Further, the fact that some of you have continued to argue your opinions here does not encourage a neutral party to close this RfC -- except for the few who enjoy being lighting rods for the anger & frustration of everyone involved. If you sincerely want this RfC to be resolved & closed, then everyone needs to step away from the discussion & do something else. Don't worry about that one person still arguing. Work on other articles. Get away from Wikipedia. Go hang out with friends. Et cetera. -- llywrch (talk) 16:21, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok I follow your suggestion. Let's wait for an administrator to step in. In the meantime I will do something else or edit articles such as Ice cream or Chocolate. The sad thing is that Director continued to edit the article his way (around 15 edits since the discussion started) in spite of an ongoing RfC and the adverse opinion of all the other 4 editors who participated to the RfC. And the very sad thing (check by yourself to be convinced) is that Director treats too often badly the users who disagree with him. Silvio1973 (talk) 17:34, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist#dot.tk

I've closed the request multiple times per WP:PER as an administrator (Beetstra) has contested the edit being made and no consensus has been achieved. There has been some edit warring between Weireth and I about the request being open or closed and they are refusing to accept that it is inappropriate for there to be an active edit request template in the section since the edit has been contested and they are refusing to accept the PER says there needs to be a consensus. He also seems to be of the mindset that since I'm not an administrator I can't close the request when PER specifically says that is not required to decline a request. Weireth is usually fairly level-headed, but often strong willed to get their way. Please have a look into this. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} (etc) 19:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Ronn Torossian#Reestablishing the 5W Public Relations Article

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Ronn Torossian#Reestablishing the 5W Public Relations Article (initiated 29 April 2014)? The opening poster wrote:

This article was merged after being established since 2006 and being passed through a few deletion debates. When it was merged a week or so ago, it was done with just a few editors discussing it without a more Wikipedia style consensus, and the user who merged it suggested, as seen above, that "admittedly, there were only four of us in that discussion. Perhaps I acted precipitously.". Since the merger, all info on the company itself has been removed, rendering the merge possibly wrong, and maybe making a case for re-establishment. All I am asking is for that RFC conversation.

Category talk:Antisemitism in the United States#People should not be in this category

Request closure of this discussion which petered out a long time ago. The history of this is that there was a 2011 discussion at CFD which led to a unified approach proposed for so-called 'bias' categories, which agreed that people accused of being racist, anti/Semitic, etc should not be placed in categories like Racism or Anti-semitism. I attempted to enforce this consensus with a few articles and got into a big debate, which eventually ended at the link above. The Wisdom of a neutral closer is desired to decide what should be done with the allegedly anti-Semitic people in this (and other) categories. (note: I suggested several times that people who disagreed with the 2011 consensus should formulate a new RFC to establish a new consensus, but no-one did so afaik.)-Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 00:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Would an experienced editor assess the consensus at Talk:Schiller Institute#Request for comment on "Allegations of antisemitism" section (initiated 1 May 2014)? The questions posed were:

There are multiple issues on which outside input would be helpful. In particular,

1. Is a YouTube video of an undated news program a suitable source? Does it present a copyvio problem?

2. The video contains allegations against the institute, including a claim that a student's lecture notes at a S.I. conference indicate antisemitic tendencies on the part of the institute, and a commentator who says that at a hypothetical S.I. meeting, one should expect "over time" to hear "an echo of the old classic antisemitic conspiracy theories" which would "not be obvious at first." How much weight should be given to these allegations?

This is a request to re-promote this page to guideline status. The page was originally promoted in 2012 after a 3 month RfC, but was then unpromoted a month later due to concerns that not enough people participated in the original RfC. The wording of the page has been stable for years and it is frequently cited in deletion discussions even though it is not technically a guideline. There is nothing controversial here. This page consists only of well-established rules of thumb that are already in practice. By promoting them to be official guidelines, we can make the AfD process a bit more efficient and help new administrators learn the ropes more easily.

The article gives the birth date of William III of England thus: "William's birthday fell on 4 November..." Considering that William was born in the Netherlands where the Gregorian calendar was in force, but later became King of England (among other places), where the Julian calendar was in force, is it ambiguous to state the birthdate without providing an explanatory note about which calendar the date is stated in?

Talk:List of Bohemian Club members#another RfC

Seems not to have been closed though it appears it may well have a consensus which needs to be spelled out, alas. This s not the first RfC on the same basic issue, but Talk:List_of_Bohemian_Club_members#RfC_dated_21_March_2014 had an odd close as only two editors supported inclusion of "honorary members", and six opposed inclusion. Collect (talk) 14:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

WP:NOTAVOTE. Number 57 14:41, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Where the issue is content oriented, and no strong policy based reasoning was cited in the close otherwise, the concept of "no consensus" is more generally the stated result. Instead the close seems to have suggested a sort of compromise which was rejected by the proponent of inclusion of all the "honorary members." Where such a close has been rejected by the proponent of inclusion, it is possible the close should have been more strongly worded. In any case, we have a second RfC with fully as strong a consensus which should be closed. YMMV. Collect (talk) 21:12, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

The message that he replaced mine with is "Would an admin assess the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Barnett (2nd nomination) (initiated 25 June 2014)? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:06, 3 July 2014 (UTC)" Administrators are capable of making their own decisions and messages that are sent to them should not be censored. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:33, 3 July 2014 (UTC).
Further discussion here at the AfD. Would an uninvolved editor replace this entire section with a neutral request for closure? Thank you. Cunard (talk) 04:48, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
  • The discussion has become sufficiently long so that it is circling back to previous arguments. All that can be said has been said. It is begging for closure. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 13:31, 3 July 2014 (UTC).
  • The question of Jacob Barnetts welfare seem a little off hand. His mother has written a long biography about her kid, so this one book contains many more revealing thruths about young Barnett than anything written here on Wikipedia so far. When the book where published, an article about Jacob Barnett already exsisted, and the article is cited in the book. I can't by any of my senses imagine why a number of Wikipedians suddenly find it important to delete the article - I can read there various arguments, but I can't comprehend, why they find this matter of a proposed deletion important? Oleryhlolsson (talk) 17:19, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
  • The original article was deleted though, for basically the same reasons that this one should be. Also, our WP:RS guideline explicitly warns against circular referencing. Sławomir Biały (talk) 19:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
  • This section is a clear example of why the noticeboard's instructions say that "Please ensure that your request for a close is brief and neutrally worded." A non-neutral closure request invites a rebuttal of the arguments made in the closure request and a rebuttal of that rebuttal and so on. Cunard (talk) 04:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, but it appears that you might not. BLP is primarily about the article content, not about article existence. They are required to have at least one reliable reference, which this article does. If you believe something in the article is a BLP violation, remove it. Please also see WP:BLPDEL for further information. Number 57 13:08, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

I see no benefit in formally closing this one; the nature of the question invites views from community but does not seek to resolve any kind of conflict or address a policy issue.
