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]

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.
