Is the archive bot still working on the Noticeboard?
Hi, just wondering if the bot is still working on auto-archiving "old" notices? For example,
- RfC on whether calling an event "murder" presumes the perpetrator is a "murderer"? was last edited on July 17th (if my math is right, that is about 2 months 15 days according to this calculator);
Is the “etymology” section of the article on Canada in line with NPOV policy? was last edited on September 6th (16 days according to this calculator);Point of View Issue was last edited on September 6th (gonna use finger math here, *counts fingers and toes*) about 16 days ago;National Air Traffic Controllers Association is 15 days old based on an edit on September 7th;RfC on Palestine is 14 days old based on an edit on September 8th (borderline I suppose but should be archived soon based on date).
All dates and calculations are based on the premise of being September 22nd and are correct at the time of writing, Dr Crazy 102 (talk) 00:32, 22 September 2015 (UTC); strikethrough archived sections, 06:12, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- Guess, the coding was weird. Changed both noticeboard and talk page to allow bot to archive at least one thread instead of requiring three old threads. Sorry, Dr Crazy 102 (talk) 03:27, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- The RfC post for murder implying accused of being murderer, is still hanging around. Does anyone know why it isn't being archived? Dr Crazy 102 (talk) 06:12, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Germany, Nazi Germany and the Third Reich on Military articles - Oh my!
See this RfC on which name to use in the infoboxes of military unit's active only during the Third Reich/Nazi Germany and leave a well-considered !Vote. Cheers, Doctor Crazy in Room 102 of The Mental Asylum 06:19, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
What is the actual point of this noticeboard?
It seems like in actual practice this noticeboard is just a venue for foamed-over article talk page disputes. It doesn't particularly attract intervention by neutral parties, because most of the editors watching this board are the ones already engaged in other disputes here. The participants in the original dispute merely restate their arguments on the noticeboard, no one says anything else, and the matters are eventually archived without closure. Any blatant NPOV edits are more likely to be addressed by administrator intervention, so this noticeboard ends up hosting the more inconclusive disagreements in the hopes that someone else will comment, like a less effective version of 3O or RfC. Couldn't we just do without this page and trust to those more reliable avenues? Ibadibam (talk) 23:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
What do you do when a group of editors keeps removing the npov tag on an article?
What do you do when a group of editors goes so far as to coordinate to suppress an NPOV tag on an article while the NPOV discussion is still ongoing, violating the instructions of the tag?TeeTylerToe (talk) 20:32, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

- Whatever you do, don't edit war to get the tag put in. Just continue with dispute resolution until the matter is resolved. You can also fix and source the part of the article where you think there are violations of NPOV.Scoobydunk (talk) 21:48, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
