That was a terrible close

Re this.

Two users expressed some opinion as to whether the article was GA-quality, one openly in favour of delisting and the other not opposed to delisting and stating that the original listing was crap. None of the other comments were even related to whether the article as it stood was of GA-quality or not. So why did you close it as a "maintain the status quo" when everyone opposed the status quo.

I understand you probably made a good-faith mistake, but if so it was still a mistake, and I strongly urge you to revert your close.

Users were arguing about the article content, but not all of it actually related to whether or not the article's quality was low enough to delist. Discussion had gone on long enough, and no one but the nominator said that the article should be delisted. No consensus means 'keep'.

Challenger.rebecca (talk) 06:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Okay, firstly I should apologize for my gruff tone above. I was annoyed about some bullshit that had nothing to do with you or the GAR. Secondly, you should know that GARs do not need a broad consensus from a large number of users to delist. The default should be that if an article's GA status is challenged, it will be delisted unless either (a) a defense of the article's current GA status is mounted or (b) the article is improved to fully address the OP's concerns. In this case, one user challenged the GA status, and another user tried to improve the article but still agreed the article should be delisted. A GAR should never be decided on a vote count, but in this case even a vote count was in favour of delisting. If I were closing, I would have said Consensus is to delist. The valid concerns of the OP and first commenter have not been met. All other commenters are trouted and politely reminded that this page is for discussion of whether the article still meets (or ever met) our specific list of Good Article criteria, and is not a forum for general discussion of the topic, or even general discussion of the article and its quality. 'No consensus means keep' is for AFD, not GAR, as the burden of consensus must lie with those who want Misplaced Pages to continue hyping the article as one of the Project's finest. If 'No consensus means preserve the status quo' was a universal standard, the article would never have been promoted in the first place. Hijiri 88 (やや) 05:22, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
There were competing arguments there over the validity of the nominator's claims, but I checked the article myself and found the citations to be fine and the article to be decently organized. No one except the nominator ever said that the article should be delisted. If people want to change the title of the article, they can propose it on the talk page, but there was definitely no consensus and probably no good reason to outright delist.
There is no reason why you should be posting attacks on me about this reassessment on other univolved users talk pages. During all the good article reassessments I closed, I took special care to consider all angles and made the best decision possible. Challenger.rebecca (talk) 21:09, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Okay, if any of the above looked like an attack, it was unintentional, and I apologize. Anyway, I find your analysis of the GAR and the article itself to be questionable. I'm not in the mood to argue this further. Hijiri 88 (やや) 06:04, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Inappropriate marking of "Minor" updates

Thank you for your contributions to the article Brampton Library. You marked your all your edits on March 28, 2017 as minor, when in fact only the first edit on that day was. Marking an edit as minor is intended to allow some editors to avoid being notified about spelling fixes, punctuation updates, grammar improvements, small amounts of reformatting, and other small changes to articles that do not change the intent and information contained in the article. Adding new content is generally not considered a minor edit, so should not be marked as such. Please review the minor edits article to help improve the quality of your future contributions.

Your edits to Anxiotropic

  • (1) We do not capitalize all words in section titles.
  • (2) After editing, please read the place you edited. In this article, you corrupted format.

I fixed these. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:27, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (October 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Liance was: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Misplaced Pages. The comment the reviewer left was: Needs references that are independent of (not associated with) the subject. Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved. -Liance 03:46, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Teahouse logo Hello, Challenger.rebecca! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

Out of curiosity

Would you be willing to explain where you have "seen in action for many years" (per this)?

You and he have never interacted, and you have virtually no WP-space editing history to indicate that you've generally been aware of his administrative actions despite that.

I ask because it seems somewhat weird that you would choose that to be your first ever (and thus far only) RFA comment shortly after I posted this in my sandbox and a few months later (today) you showed up and reverted an edit I had made to a relatively low-traffic article three days prior.

I often check the contributions of admins I admire, and he's been doing good work for a long time. It's not very often that a serving admin comes back up for nomination, so I certainly wanted to vote for him. I don't see why it's that unusual. Challenger.rebecca (talk) 04:19, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Okay, well then how do you explain this? Did you follow me to the article and make that nonsense comment? Or did you simply miscount? Are you aware that Misplaced Pages is not a democracy and consensus is not a vote-count? Hijiri 88 (やや) 05:43, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Four tildes, not three

Information icon Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you.
