cc: RfC on Tifinagh in Morocco-related articles
Hi,
Considering that you began an RfC on the use of Tifinagh on the Algeria article, there's been quite a debate on whether or not Tifinagh should be removed from Morocco-related articles, which led to an RfC. Since you seem like a neutral third-party, it would be nice to have some feedback.
Thank you! NAADAAN (talk) 18:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Climate change DRN
So, the settings used by the archival bot on the DRN page are clearly overzealous, as it had somehow already archived our ongoing DRN! Can you please do something about that? InformationToKnowledge (talk) 09:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- User:InformationToKnowledge - I have unarchived it back to DRN. I will change the bot parameter from 48 hours to 72 hours, but the real problem is that the Do Not Archive Until date is being initialized to two weeks after start rather than three weeks after start, and I have requested technical advice on what to do about that. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Notably, the bot archive itself remains unchanged - does that mean you would be effectively forced to manually paste the discussion into the same archive once it actually is closed, to prevent the bot from archiving it twice? That, and I hope @Bogazicili saw that the discussion is back in its rightful place, so that we can move on to the next step ASAP. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 08:50, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll add my revised suggestion next week. Bogazicili (talk) 18:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- I did not remove the case from the archive, so when the case is finished, it will be archived again by the bot. I am not concerned about the double archival. This has occasionally happened before. It should happen less often now that I have changed one of the bot parameters, so that it only archives after 72 hours of silence. There is still something of a mystery about the Do Not Archive Until date. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:03, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. For the RfC, there doesn't seem to be any new votes in awhile. Should we publicize it in several wiki projects, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change? Bogazicili (talk) 16:12, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon and InformationToKnowledge, I restarted the RFC since it wasn't properly closed.[1] We can let it for a few more weeks I guess. Bogazicili (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's unfortunate that to date, virtually all the comments from outside editors (not already extensively involved with this page) have been on length, and not on any of the finer points. Granted, it was my own choice to switch to the four-paragraph format at the last minute which caused this. Arguably, it's better that the lack of community support for the large section size is revealed now than if we had attempted to expand on it later.
- Still, I wish there was a way to at least get some input regarding our disagreements over the year 2050 projections out of this RFC. I am tempted to use this "restart" as an excuse to withdraw the four-paragraph wording in favour of something like my penultimate proposal (which would be close to Bogazicili's text outside of that area) but I doubt this would work.
- Otherwise, would I be allowed to write such a proposal as "Option D" (or C3?) in the Survey, and perhaps attach a note to A informing editors it is being depreciated in favour of D/C3? I would just rather not see the RFC end with only one substantive question addressed. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 00:30, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Venezuelan politics. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Venezuelan politics/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 20, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Venezuelan politics/Workshop.

A goat for you!
You've rightfully heard thanks to this end before, but the fact remains you're just about the closest individual Wikipedia has to a guardian angel—in a concrete sense and not a supernatural one, mind—with how you try diligently to prevent humans from hurting themselves and others through quiet patience. Very concretely, I am glad there are people like you around to help keep the site together, and while I have some patience sometimes, I know for certain that I don't have what you have. I do hope you're taking care of yourself, though. Thanks for the hard work.

Hi there. Thanks for your comment on Draft:Ronnie Archer-Morgan. I know it's not actually about the article itself, but if you had a moment to read it at the time, is there anything you thought could improve it or make it more likely to pass AfC? If so, please may you tell me, or just edit it yourself.
Thanks, JacobTheRox (talk) 09:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Class of Ronnie Archer-Morgan
Hi there, You recently rated Ronnie Archer-Morgan as C-Class, but I thought it looked more like a B-Class article. However, I am probably biased seeing as I wrote it. Which of the B-Class criteria does it fail to meet, so I can work on improving it? Thanks, JacobTheRox (talk) 09:00, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Closing date of RFC
@Robert McClenon: Hello, the RFC at Talk:Russo-Ukrainian War#RFC on Listing of Belarus was started by you on 16 March 2024 and as of now was active for more than a month (nearly 1,5 month to be exact). I think a month is enough for every interested user to express their opinion and to vote at RFC. Since the issue for which the RFC was started previously resulted in quite strong disagreements between multiple users, I think the RFC should be closed by you to ensure a valid WP:CONS due to your status as a moderator at Dispute resolution noticeboard who started this RFC following a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 242#Russo-Ukrainian War. Perhaps it is already time to close this RFC now? If not, then what exact other deadline you think is suitable to close this RFC? -- Pofka (talk) 18:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- User:Pofka - I will be making a request at Requests for Closure. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:01, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Nice essay.
Is "which might cause the horse to become dead" a metaphor? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- User:Deepfriedokra - That is a piling on of a metaphor, because the dead horse is a metaphor. A metaphor that can be piled on may be an especially useful metaphor. In the seventies, sometimes The New Yorker would have a snippet headlined, "Block that metaphor", if the metaphor was amusingly mixed. I don't think that I am mixing the metaphor, just piling it on or overloading it. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Draft to be submitted
I moved an article titled Tamar of Imereti to Tamar of Imereti (died 1556), and the declined draft with the former title to Draft:Tamar of Imereti (died 1455), while the original title became a disambiguation page. I hope that you manage to accept the new title of the draft and approve the submission to link related articles to the new titles. Cheers! Xxx2023 (talk) 19:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- User:Theroadislong - Yes. The acronym should have been FRSA, which I have changed it to. The acronym in the page that was cut down to a redirect was wrong, and I didn't check on it. So the task is to find a reliable source that confirms that she was elected to that honourable Society. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Rafida
Hi! First, thanks for your patience with this case. I really appreciate your help. Second, I wonder if your decision to close the dispute can be appealed. I already admitted that my lengthy statement was an honest mistake; please see the addendum to my list statement. I simply missed the last paragraph of your statement that required us to comment only on the RFC. To close the case is perhaps an overreaction, even though you have every right to do so. With the moderated discussion now closed, I fear that Shadowwarrior8 has successfully bullied their way in this issue, removing and falsifying content with impunity. Should I open a new dispute? If not, where would it be possible to find justice in this case? Thank you for your advice. Albertatiran (talk) 06:41, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Albertatiran - You ask if you can open a new dispute at DRN. I will not prevent you from opening a new case. I think it is very unlikely that a volunteer will accept it, but you can try. I will not reopen it. I have tried and not succeeded. If a volunteer asked me for advice about whether to take the case, I would advise them not to take it, because both editors are discussing the other editor as much as they are discussing content. I don't think that trying to restart this discussion at DRN is likely to be useful. I think that Shadowwarrior8 has said much the same thing, and DRN is voluntary. So I don't advise asking another volunteer to reopen the case at DRN.
- You ask
where would it be possible to find justice in this case?
Wikipedia isn't about finding justice, but about building an encyclopedia. If you think that the conduct of Shadowwarrior8 is interfering with building the encyclopedia, you can report SW at WP:ANI after reading the boomerang essay. If you want to involve other editors who might have some knowledge and a different perspective, on the other hand, I would suggest that you ask for other editors at WikiProject Islam. (Some of them might actually be either Shi'a Muslims or Sunni Muslims.) Robert McClenon (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Climate Change RFC
- Hello. For the RfC, there doesn't seem to be any new votes in awhile. Should we publicize it in several wiki projects, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change? Bogazicili (talk) 16:12, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon and InformationToKnowledge, I restarted the RFC since it wasn't properly closed.[2] We can let it for a few more weeks I guess. Bogazicili (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's unfortunate that to date, virtually all the comments from outside editors (not already extensively involved with this page) have been on length, and not on any of the finer points.

- User:Bogazicili - Why did you restart the RFC? What do you mean when you say that it wasn't properly closed? Do you mean that there wasn't a formal closure? If so, that is because we didn't request a formal closure. Why did you restart it? It was correctly stopped automatically by the bot. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon, I restarted the RfC per Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Restarting_an_RfC and because there was no Wikipedia:Closure requests request. You also didn't say anything about it here Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_245#Climate_change. You also hadn't responded to my question above about publicising it in WikiProject Climate change, so I didn't know you were paying attention. Discussions get archived quickly in Talk:Climate change, so I didn't want the RfC archived before someone can respond from Wikipedia:Closure requests. Bogazicili (talk) 20:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh I see you said it will run for a month at the top here and mentioned what to do after the bot deactivates it. Do you want me to request formal closure now? Bogazicili (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Bogazicili - At this point, requesting formal closure would be a good idea. You can do that, or I can do that. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, but I think we could have gotten more responses and a more clear consensus if we had publicized it at WikiProject Climate change. You might see another version of this at DRN in the near future. I'll leave closure up to you unless InformationToKnowledge objects? Thanks for the moderation of this topic by the way.

- Oh I see you said it will run for a month at the top here and mentioned what to do after the bot deactivates it. Do you want me to request formal closure now? Bogazicili (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon, I restarted the RfC per Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Restarting_an_RfC and because there was no Wikipedia:Closure requests request. You also didn't say anything about it here Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_245#Climate_change. You also hadn't responded to my question above about publicising it in WikiProject Climate change, so I didn't know you were paying attention. Discussions get archived quickly in Talk:Climate change, so I didn't want the RfC archived before someone can respond from Wikipedia:Closure requests. Bogazicili (talk) 20:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft review reminder
Hia @Robert McClenon. Noticed you've been reviewing Draft:Shop-Vac and Draft:Tenzing_Norgay_Trainor for three days now, thought I'd ping you to remind you in case you had forgotten (I do sometimes!). Qcne (talk) 08:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

How to proceed
Thank you for your help. How would you recommend I proceed? You said to discuss changes on the talk page but given the earlier response and previous behaviour that is almost certainly not going to achieve anything. Would an RfC be the best option like you mentioned in that case? I've read through the page on RfCs and the only thing I'm unsure about is categories, would the category be 'animals' (which doesn't exist) because it's a breed of dog, or would it be something like 'regional' given it's about origin/nationality (loosely). Traumnovelle (talk) 16:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Traumnovelle - I am a little confused by your question about RFC categories, because I don't see a 'regional' category. If you mean the categories that are specified in the {{RFC}} tag, I would suggest using 'soc' and 'hist', but, in my experience, that doesn't make that much difference. What is more important is to publicize the RFC on a WikiProject, which would be WikiProject Dogs Do you want assistance with the RFC? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've edited out the template because I believe it broke formatting and tried to insert the entire Wikiproject Talk page.
- I didn't mean a specific category but more so given the dispute isn't solely about the dog whether a different category would be appropriate. If you wish to create it yourself I would appreciate it if you do help, but I do believe I am capable of creating with the correct categories now and with a neutral description thanks to your what you've written. Traumnovelle (talk) 17:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I suspect this was just a software glitch, but I got a ping about this talk section. If there's anything that anyone needs from me, please let me know. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Tryptofish - Not a software error, but typist error. I used curly braces when I should have used square brackets. This transcluded the project onto my talk page, and that did weird things until it was fixed. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've created the RfC, I have notified the previous two involved users and Wikiproject Dogs. I also gave my comment below the neutral statement (as a reply), which I believe is what you meant to do. If you could double check that I have followed the procedure correctly that would be helpful thanks. Traumnovelle (talk) 06:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Rejection of Vahika draft
I will add more information to the Vahika section based on your comments however it’s separate to the Bahlika wiki which you stated the information could have been merged with as Bahlika referred to Bactria whereas Vahika referred to central Punjab with a total different history and so for that reason I don’t think it should have been rejected. Maniacdude (talk) 11:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Maniacdude - I didn't reject the draft. I declined it. There is a difference. A declined draft can be edited and resubmitted. It was not clear to me as a reviewer how and whether Vahika is the same as or largely overlaps with Bahlika, and so it would not be clear to a reader either. If they are clearly different, please explain, in the draft, how they are different, so that it will be clear to a future reader, and resubmit. I didn't understand whether they were the same or overlapped or were different, and I think that a future reader also would not have understood what the differences were. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:49, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the constructive criticism, I’ll be sure to add that in and make it clearer Maniacdude (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Maniacdude Please explain your use of alternate accounts. Generally, one does not tag team with one's self on the same article or draft. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Timtrent - They aren't trying to confuse, but they aren't trying to enlighten the other editors either, because they haven't declared what their use of the alternate accounts is. They are User:Zenithxxx on a real computer and User:Maniacdude on a mobile device. If they are using a mobile app from the mobile device, they should scrap it and use a web browser. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Robert. Somehow you always get to the root of the issue. I have left firmly worded questions on each user talk page. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes as Robert said. My Zenith account is on my laptop and this account is on my mobile for whenever I’m away from my laptop Maniacdude (talk) 00:57, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment on draft
Hi @Robert McClenon. I’m responding to a comment you made on Draft:Recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches introduced 1995–96. I’m a bit confused. Was the comment supposed to include suggestions on how to improve the draft? Because I don’t see any. Does it just mean it’s still waiting for a review? Thanks. Spectrallights (talk) 17:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Spectrallights - That comment is both for the information of other reviewers and is advice to the submitter to look for any previous advice by the reviewer who draftified it. I am not giving any new advice about improving the draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Did you mean to leave this 'under review', Robert? 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:17, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Timtrent - No. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:42, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Timtrent - I've implemented a flag on my machine to keep track of what is under review. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- If it is something reviewers as whole might benefit from, (eg a gadget) please let us all know. Otherwise more power to your elbow 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Timtrent - It is about as far from being something that other reviewers could benefit from as you could imagine. It is a flag in an Access database. The Access database keeps track of all of the pages that I have reviewed, and all of the AFDs I have participated in. What do you expect a retired database engineer to do? (It isn't done with my elbow so much as with my wrists and fingers, but that is a detail.) Robert McClenon (talk) 17:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Now that used to be a skill I had, integrating Access databases with web sites, but I have let it fade! I am quite relieved about that 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:39, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Re: RfC
Just a note to say that the way you signed this RfC was highly unusual and out of the ordinary, making it look like you were responding neutrally to a "no" vote left unsigned by another editor. Not sure if you intended it to look that way, but normal, best practice is to sign immediately after your vote, not on a separate line and comment. Viriditas (talk) 03:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Viriditas - Signature added on the No vote, and left standing on the comment. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Climate change RFC
I think it's time to request closure for this. InformationToKnowledge, can you confirm? I'd have normally requested closure by now, but I am being more cautious since it was part of the DRN process. Bogazicili (talk) 19:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
