2006 August 25

Removed Editor review, closed it as impossible to close, you can't reject a voluntary process that people use, and I'm not sure how you consensually adopt a voluntary process except through usage.

• rm all Notability-related discussions; replaced with general notice at bottom of template. Notability has simply become too large of a topic to be handled on cent. It has its own directory template and interested parties are thrashing out dozens of issues in their own ways, on at least 40 pages. There isn't much virtue in highlighting only a handful of these pages here and to list them all would be needless duplication. John Reid 11:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Undid one of the styling changes made by John, which was applying an aqua background to some paras. This bright background caused me physical pain in my eyes, which surprised me somewhat. Just zis Guy you know? 15:09, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Restore the backgrounds; they have a purpose. To show good faith on my part, I've changed the tint. John Reid 17:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

  Better, but I'm still curious as to the basis for this change. How well does it fit in with accessibility guidelines and different skins? Just zis Guy you know? 18:19, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

  Please don't whinge. Thank you. John Reid 04:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

  The heading background colour is horrid and not required - can we please just bold the headings? Consider WP:ACCESS#Color too. Thanks/wangi 08:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

  This project is packed with infoboxes of all kinds, each with its own tinted header. Are you going to war on all of them? Change the tint again if you insist, but be consistent across all of Centralized discussion. John Reid 12:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 01

• Archived the log; see top of page. Discussions summarized at Conclusions. John Reid 12:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 2

• Added Misplaced Pages:Guide to writing about U.S. state highways. --SPUI (T - C) 01:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• rv; sorry. This kind of venue-shopping works directly against the concept of centralized discussion. Let the current poll work itself out as it will. John Reid 03:18, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• a couple of reversions later it's out I think. ++Lar: t/c 05:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 5

• Removed WP:ElC, as it was implemented. --ais523 13:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
• Added Sidebar Redesign to disscussions section --michael180 23:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sept 10

• Removed Misplaced Pages:Cross-namespace redirects. the wub "?!" 22:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 13

• replace Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship is not a vote with WikiProject on Adminship, the centralized discussion that has subsumed it. The former page is now linked on the latter. John Reid 09:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
• rename German de-adminship solution (poll) to Temporary Deadminship to avoid bias risk. The proposal itself is linked on the WikiProject. John Reid 10:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 14

• De-adminship strawpoll was a redlink so I removed it. Yomangani 23:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sept 18

• Added Misplaced Pages:Protecting children's privacy poll John254 21:05, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Removed since voting on policy proposals is a Bad Idea. By the way, unless somebody explains to me what the point is of this log (as opposed to the regular history tab), I'm going to deprecate it next week. HAND. >Radiant< 21:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

    Kindly permit the log to fulfill its function. It works well and enjoys wide support. Thank you. John Reid 05:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

• Re-added information about Misplaced Pages:Protecting children's privacy, but this time as a reference to the discussion on the talk page, with no reference to voting whatsoever. John254 21:55, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 20

• move Misplaced Pages talk:Protecting children's privacy to Discussions and delete redundant section. Note that all discussions on Cent are policy discussions. No need to highlight this issue. John Reid 06:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

2006 Sep 25

• Added WP:RFAP_→AzaToth 18:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• rm Process for adminship -- Sorry; but this general issue has a centralized discussion page, WikiProject on Adminship; this page is already advertised on Cent; and the new proposal in question is now linked from there. John Reid 01:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• There are several entries in the template that have concluded, or have been accepted as "historical" (as opposed to those still in contention), such as spoiler warnings, and the admin accountability poll. I might suggest that someone go through and double check all the entries list on the template to see how "current" they are. - jc37 18:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• move Sidebar Redesign to old
• move Apartheid to old
• move Fair use images in lists to old
• rm Historical information ()
• rm Maltese nobility ()
• rm Political subdivisions of New York ()
• rm Method Engineering ()
• rm Removing warnings ()
• rm Rollback privileges ()
• rm Deny recognition ()
• rm Admin accountability poll ()

well we have to clean out the 'old' section some time, there's really no point in having things on there for several months, the section should really be called, and iirc used to be called, 'recently concluded'

>Radiant< 09:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

How did these discussions conclude? Was any consensus reached? If so, what? John Reid 01:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
