I closed the discussion as per WP:RFC and discussion on the talk page. Consensus was clear to me and that's why I acted. You want to challenge this, don't edit war, follow procedure. Please. --Pete (talk) 02:47, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- "Consensus was clear to me" and that's perfectly fine. Consensus is not clear to everyone else, so once it becomes apparent that the "clear consensus" is disputed, it means we shouldn't be trying to enact an early close which you arguably shouldn't have even attempted in the first place. I am respectfully asking you to follow that procedure. If the discussion continues the way it has, or nobody else comments, it probably will be closed the way you prefer, but there's absolutely no harm in letting that play out the way editors are asking you to let it play out. That's all. - Aoidh (talk) 03:27, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
When the RFC expires, in a little over a week. I'll request closure at the Wikipedia:Closure requests page. GoodDay (talk) 03:01, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- No complaints here. I've just seen an emerging consensus rapidly change before, and I think it's only fair to let a thorough and complete consensus emerge, rather than closing a discussion early as soon as it looks like it might be going one way or the other. That way there's no argument later that the discussion doesn't represent a true consensus. It's certainly not going to hurt anything to let that happen. - Aoidh (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Another fellow, is trying to enforce what he wants, before the RFC has ended. GoodDay (talk) 13:18, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Username?
Sorry for the out-of-the-blue question, I'm curious how to pronounce your username. It looks like maybe it's Irish orthography, in which case is it pronounced something like /iː/? Cheers! ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 08:07, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Eirikr: No problem at all, it's actually from the Scottish Gaelic form of Clan Mackay (Mac Aoidh) and while I unfortunately have zero knowledge of IPA, I do believe it's maybe pronounced the same as the Irish name Aodh, where you bascially just say the letter "A" but kind of mute your tongue at the end? It's hard to describe over text unfortunately. Take how a Scottish person would say Mackay and take the Mac off and you're pretty spot on. It's certainly not pronounced in any way the sounds like "eye" or "eyed" like some try though. Or even better take the name Aiden, but take the "den" part off, but still put your tongue up like you're almost about to start sounding out the d sound and then you just don't. I'm good at a lot of things, but explaining pronunciations online apparently isn't one of them. :) - Aoidh (talk) 08:25, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- Cheers, thank you! I had a colleague years ago who was Irish, grew up in one of the Gaeltachts, had the middle name of "Aodh". I forget which dialect was in his background, but he explained to me that his middle name was pronounced like English "ee", as in "feet" or "cheese": "The AO is pronounced like a double-E in English, and the DH is silent." Sounds like the Scottish Gaelic "Aoidh" might be a bit different, but in the same general ballpark. :)
- And hey, looks like the relevant entries are to be found over at EN Wikt: wikt:MacAoidh#Scottish_Gaelic, and wikt:Aodh#Scottish_Gaelic.
- Go raibh maith agat! ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 09:43, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
