I wonder about having crats, but decided to become one anyway.
Just beautiful photos!

Hot dog

[edit]

Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note that you've closed the RM discussion at this article.

The discussion was opened less than 24 hours ago - if you choose to close it before the usual 7 days, a more detailed closing statement (ie. WP:SNOW or similar) should be used. 162 etc. (talk) 18:57, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will amend my close. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 19:23, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
And how do we know?
Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
Drawn this century!
How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
Rest in peace.
Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?
If you are too blasé for Mr. Blasé and don't give a FAC.

Cinderella and challenging closes

[edit]

Of course, not all of the 15 close discussions were tendentious. In one of them, the closer had a competency problem and got indeffed not long afterwards. In one of them, his comment was a minor part of the discussion. That leaves only about 13. I don't plan to review those in detail, but would guess that another 2 or 3 turn out to be cases of being mostly right.

But DL and C157 pile it on in capitalization debates so much that they make it easier for us to pile it on in this case. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:09, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I started looking into them after the Church Fathers one (link 5), which I found to be over the top. I don't think they're all tendentious, but I could not believe there were 15 of them over the past seven months. Given the number those discussions, it looks like a failure to accept he could ever be in the wrong. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 02:22, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Of course not. He has read the MOS and knows that it is the governing guideline. The community may be wrong in not reading the rule on capitalization correctly, and then the closing admin may be wrong for not supervoting to rule that the community was wrong.

Move review for 1952 Dallas mid-air collision

[edit]

An editor has asked for a Move review of 1952 Dallas mid-air collision. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Zaptain United (talk) 02:46, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another bad close at Talk:Fall of man

[edit]

If you cannot be bothered to contribute a single word of explanation for closing a move request, it's almost certainly better that you don't do so. There is no need for you to participate in discussions you are not interested in participating in, or arbitrarily putting an end to what are clearly ongoing discussions. Thank you.

You’re shitting me, right? It’s unanimously opposed. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Except for the part where the only replier who bothered to write anything of substance was at the time of closure actually engaging with my concerns and proposing alternate titles. Good grief, are you just counting !votes, or? We could have a bot do that if that were a good idea. Remsense 🌈 论 22:19, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your input is being requested...

[edit]

Considering the comment you left at the ANI discussion about me as it concerns Magnolia677's stance on WikiProject guideline & its application site-wide, I am requesting that you join a WikiProject discussion about the same issue. ClarkKentWannabe (talk) 21:02, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
