Archiving

Has the archiving bot stopped working? I’m noticing a number of requests still on this page that were marked as closed weeks ago. BilledMammal (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been pretty finicky lately: WP:REREQ was having the same problem until a couple days ago. I'll just archive it manually. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:42, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you BilledMammal (talk) 05:24, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's stopped working again. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should I post a closure request for this discussion?

Should I request a closure for this discussion? Because I think that a consensus has already been made after disregarding irrelevant arguments that show no understanding of the matter of issue and those based on personal opinion only.. ☆SuperNinja2☆ 17:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Extraordinary Writ, can you help me with this? Thanks. ☆SuperNinja2☆ 09:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If that discussion won't allow votes based on opinions, I think mine needs to be struck even though I support the request. As it stands now, it's two in favor, two against, and one (VenusFeuerFalle) kind of against. If this isn't at RFC level, it's close.

@Super ninja2: you asked User:Daniel for clarity regarding the reversal of your indefinite block and were told If you are reported back to AN/ANI for disruptive editing (ie. something significant or persistent), if the complaint is upheld, it is likely the block will be reinstated. Yesterday Zsohl lodged a complaint at ANI about your closure of that discussion and Black Kite, an admin, promptly reopened it, which I think means the complaint against you was upheld. Please stop trying to close it in any way, shape, or form. City of Silver 18:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do then? ☆SuperNinja2☆ 23:49, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it open? Since your reversed closure, two more editors, The Corvette ZR1 and me, have voted. Neither side has a clear consensus, not even close, so this is more likely to go to an official RFC than get closed now. City of Silver 00:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to the ping: I think starting an RfC (see WP:RFCST for instructions) to break the deadlock with outside participation would be the next step here. A closer can't do very much with a divided low-attendance informal discussion like this one. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog of royalty related moves

There is quite a large backlog of royalty related move requests that had closure requests put in quite a while ago. 66.99.15.163 (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Press Your Luck

The following closure request was made over one month ago. Is there any way to expedite this? --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up

There's a WP:PROPOSAL at Wikipedia talk:Notability (species)#Proposal to adopt this guideline. It's only been open for six days so far, but I thought I'd drop by and say that we'll be needing someone to summarize the results of the discussion next month. There have already been about 350 comments posted with about 1.2 tomats of text, so I suppose this is also a friendly reminder that the most reliable way to avoid getting stuck with closing a huge discussion is to go !vote in it. ;-) Alternatively, some closers like to read along as discussions happen, so they don't have to read a book-length in one sitting.
