*Would an uninvolved editor consider closing this, please? The reason the thread was started at all was for an issue not severe enough for admin assistance (IMO), but at any rate, the issue was clearly resolved but now the two "main" editors are sort of arguing with each other off-topic.

The Requests for closure noticeboard is for posting requests to have an uninvolved editor assess, summarize, and formally close a discussion on Misplaced Pages. Formal closure by an uninvolved editor or administrator should be requested where consensus remains unclear, where the issue is a contentious one, or where there are wiki-wide implications.
Many discussions do not need formal closure and do not need to be listed here.
Many discussions result in a reasonably clear consensus, so if the consensus is clear, any editor—even one involved in the discussion—may close the discussion. The default length of a formal request for closure is 30 days (opened on or before 11 December 2024); if consensus becomes clear before that and discussion has slowed, then it may be closed early. However, editors usually wait at least a week after an RfC opens, unless the outcome is very obvious, so that there is enough time for a full discussion.
If consensus is unclear, then post a neutral request here for assistance.
Please ensure that your request for a close is brief and neutrally worded. Please include a link to the discussion. Do not use this board to continue the discussion in question. Be prepared to wait for someone to review the discussion. If you disagree with a particular closure, do not dispute it here. You can start discussion at the original page or request a Closure review at Administrators' noticeboard with a link to the discussion page and the policy-based reason you believe the closure should be overturned. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Closure review archive for previous closure reviews.
Any uninvolved editor may close most discussions, so long as they are prepared to discuss and justify their closing rationale.
Because requests for closure made here are often those that are the most contentious, closing these discussions can be a significant responsibility. Closers should be familiar with all policies and guidelines that could apply to the given discussion. All closers should be prepared to fully discuss the closure rationale with any editors who have questions about the closure or the underlying policies, and to provide advice about where to discuss any remaining concerns that those editors may have.
A request for comment discussed how to appeal closures and whether an administrator can summarily overturn a non-administrator's closure. The consensus was that closures should not be reverted solely because the closer was not an administrator. However, special considerations apply for articles for deletion and move discussions—see Misplaced Pages:Deletion process#Non-administrators closing discussions and Misplaced Pages:Requested moves/Closing instructions for details.
Once a discussion listed on this page has been closed, please add {{Close}} or {{Done}} and a note to the request here, after which the request will be archived.

Would an admin assess the consensus at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/BASC reform 2014 (Initiated 3740 days ago on 15 October 2014)? The opening poster wrote: "Should the community adopt the changes to the makeup and procedures of the Ban Appeals Subcommittee proposed below?" Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:04, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've read through parts of this proposal a few times, and think that since there are many different sections on different questions, each section should be closed separately. I could really use some help on this, anyone? — {{U|Technical 13}} 13:26, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- I think this one is best left to one or more uninvolved admins. I think you'd be making a rod for own back trying to close this one. Bellerophon talk to me 01:27, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- Bellerophon, I think it needs to be closed by more than one editor regardless of whether or not they are admins. I do agree there should be at least one admin in the group however, which is why I'm waiting for help before I really start digging in. You interested in helping with it? — {{U|Technical 13}} 01:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- I think this one is best left to one or more uninvolved admins. I think you'd be making a rod for own back trying to close this one. Bellerophon talk to me 01:27, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- This proposal would best be closed by more than one editor to make sure the closing is accurate and properly worded. I'm thinking there should be 3-5 closers involved in the close. If you are interested on helping with this close, please add your signature to the list below:
You guys can go ahead with this if you think it really needs it, but my feeling on it (as noted on the talk page was that we had arrived at a consensus to change BASC, but not on exactly what those changes would be. I had planned to revisit this and do a second phase after I'm done with the GamerGate arbitration case. I would personally be more interested in recruiting a team to help manage and close that process.
While I haven't even drafted anything yet, I am thinking it will probably be the sort of RFC where there are several different new structures proposed and we try to work out which one the community is most comfortable with. The usual problem with those types of RFCs is that instead of trying to fine-tune existing proposals, new participants just keep adding more and more proposals until it becomes impossible to come to a consensus. This is what happened in the 2011 attempt to come up with a community based desysopping procedure. We wound up with 17 proposals and nothing came of it. During the 2012 pending changes RFC I used a more restrictive format where three mutually exclusive options were presented and users had to pick one of them. That produced a usable result, but I'm not certain it is the right approach here.
Of course anyone else is more than welcome to move this forward themselves if they don't want to wait for me to get around to it. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:03, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- FWIW, I agree with this assessment of the consensus and I think a formal close probably isn't necessary. Sunrise (talk) 02:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive266#iBan suggested
Would an admin assess the consensus at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive266#iBan suggested (Initiated 3706 days ago on 18 November 2014)? Relevant discussions: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive862#User:Ryulong, cannot be stopped breaking rules and Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive862#RTG. If there is a consensus for an interaction ban, please add the interaction ban to Misplaced Pages:Editing restrictions. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:04, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- RTG ceased editing on 19 November 2014 so this is somewhat moot, but I doubt there is any dispute over the consensus. Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:2015 Formula One season#Once more
Would an experienced and uninvolved administrator please close the discussion at Talk:2015 Formula One season#Once more. It never should be the discussion it has become. Thanks, Tvx1 (talk) 17:03, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- (Initiated 3687 days ago on 7 December 2014) — {{U|Technical 13}} 17:21, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- There's like three simultaneous issues, aren't there? First the issue of the source, which seems resolved. Then the issue of the alignment and now it looks like an issue with the alignment with the flag. How would it be closed? How about someone create an actual RFC format and let people comment their views in separate subheadings? And this may sound ridiculous but I say someone should actually elevate this to Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style/Tables#Multi-column_sortable_standard or bring it to a WP:Sports-level discussion. We may as well have an actual agreed-upon formatting fight done in one place and end these bits and pieces. I still can't figure out why it's only the current season that has squabbling. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:24, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Electronic_cigarette#Ordering_of_sections_2
Previous RfC was closed as "no consensus". Change was made anyway. A further RfC was started to try to get a better consensus. It has been open for a more than 2 weeks. Wondering if someone could close it? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 20:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- That is inaccurate, The previous RFC was closed no consensus for a medical order. Afterwards the article was changed to a non medical order by an admin after a discussion with consensus from the editors on hand. AlbinoFerret 14:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- (Initiated 3674 days ago on 20 December 2014) — {{U|Technical 13}} 23:33, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- What AlbinoFerret wrote is false. The previous RfC was closed as no consensus to change the order. The change to the order was made when an editor made an edit protected request while ignoring the previous RfC. QuackGuru (talk) 21:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- What you are saying is false. Per the previous closing "Result: No consensus as to whether the article is primarily medical." in attempting to make it a medical order. The previous closing also stated "IMO, the way the body of the article launches straight into a discussion of the health effects related the article subject before providing the basic information about what the subject is doesn't look obviously neutral or natural." thats why it was changed. There is a section calling for the stoping of the RFC, that was hidden (collapsed), the closer should read it to fully understand whats going on. AlbinoFerret 23:53, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:In_the_news/Recurring_items#The_Boat_Race
This discussion has devolved into personal attacks and assumptions of bad faith. The requestor has withdrawn the proposal, however multiple editors would like it to continue. I would like an neutral administrator to at least go through the discussion and address/hide content that could be considered personal attacks. Mamyles (talk) 21:26, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- (Initiated 3649 days ago on 14 January 2015) This appears to be closed, but is very prematurely done. As such, I've reopened it. — {{U|Technical 13}} 02:32, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 15#New "vandal stopper" user group
Apparently, New "vandal stopper" user group (Initiated 3710 days ago on 14 November 2014) needs a formal close to see whether or not there was consensus in the discussion to put together a proposal to present to the community. Thanks. — {{U|Technical 13}} 23:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- Umm, no. It was posted at the idea lab, which means it wasn't there for support and oppose votes, but to come up with a concrete proposal to take to the community. I suggesting opening it at Village Pump Proposals with a specific proposal that can either be yessed or noed. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 23:53, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- Achieving a consensus isn't about !votes (of which there seems to be a lot of support there), it's about reading each comment and deciding if there is sufficient support, and what that support might be, for an idea or a proposal. Thanks. —

- Now that the original closer has returned from a 4-week absence and made his comments, no further delay is necessary. Several other open RMs hinge on the outcome. Dicklyon (talk) 16:56, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
