Sri Lanka[edit]

Why did you close the Dispute resolution discussion - Report of the Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka ? It won't solve until all the parties agreed to the solution. I am not agree to the your final conclusion. --207.46.55.30 (talk) 05:31, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My edit at Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Christian_right[edit]

I haven't been involved in a lot of DR, so if my hiding of some comments at Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Christian_right was unwelcome, feel free to undo. However, based upon comments at User_talk:Sphilbrick#Christian_right, I fear that the editor is refusing to participate. It may be that he or she is hoping someone will beg him or her to continue. I'm not so inclined, but if you want to, that's your call.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 20:06, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hot Cat discussion at VPP[edit]

Thank you for your interest in the discussion at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Proposal:_enable_HotCat_for_all_editors_by_default. Please note that I have now proposed 5 different, more nuanced versions of the original suggestion, to better gauge to what level (if any) we are willing to make Hot Cat more accessible. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:39, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changing a DR/N closing[edit]

It is generally the same as any other content dispute. Please disuss the change on the talkpage when you alter another volunteers closing. According to our limited guidelines: "Close" - This marks a discussion that has been closed, because the discussion is unsuitable for DRN. The 24 Game filing was at the right venue but failed to recieve any participation past the original filing. "Failed" - This marks a discussion that was not resolved successfully and has been closed because of inactivity. The latter is the prescribed closing template for this simple closing due to lack of participation.--Amadscientist (talk) 03:55, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for the notification. There was a previous discussion on the talk page over the ambiguity between closed and failed cases. The ambiguity may still persist, and if so, a new discussion would be appropriate. Ironically, I was the one that wrote the description for the new failed status and phrased both the closed status and failed status the way it is now. I apologise for the unintentional ambiguity of the wording, and if there was any confusion over the difference between the two, it was likely my fault.--sgcm (talk) 09:27, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ambiguity in prose can be changed. I support your effort to make such changes as long as it doesn't change the current status criteria. However...the point is not the ambiguity in the prose, it is your chnaging another volunteers closing staus. That is not acceptable behavior for a DR/N volunteer without discussion and consensus. Is this something that has been discussed and agreed on? Perhaps I missed that part over the last few months.--Amadscientist (talk) 19:49, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Case status for requests are sometimes changed from closed back to open, so I did not think that my edit would be controversial. If it has been interpreted as a bold edit, then I apologise. As per WP:BRD, the next step is discussion on the talk page.--sgcm (talk) 21:38, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 4[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Card-carrying Communist, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wheeling (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
