CALL/OS

Would it be fair to term the CALL/OS compilers "conversational"? Peter Flass (talk) 00:27, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

OS X

See Talk:OS X#Requested move 13 June 2016. The renaming had no consensus. WP:RMT is not going to do. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 19:41, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

That was then (when the current OS release was called "OS X El Capitan"). This is now (when the current OS release is called "macOS Sierra"). I'll wait until somebody explicitly declines to do the move, or it times out, before concluding that "WP:RMT is not going to do." now. Guy Harris (talk) 19:45, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I've explicitly declined for now because an RM (a heavier process) closed as no consensus. I would go to Wikipedia:Move review to contest the closure of the RM in question. Some folks might not be okay with opening another RM right now. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 19:47, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I've opened another RM anyway, because the circumstances have changed. Neither of "the following reasons" listed in Wikipedia:Move review#Initiating move reviews apply here - the arguments against the move then were mainly "the current version of the OS in question is named "OS X El Capitan"", and some even said "oppose for now, OK when macOS Sierra is released", so it's not as if "[Closer] did not follow the spirit and intent of WP:RMCI ... in closing this requested move", as there was, in fact, a "don't do it now" consensus (heck, my support was weak - I didn't oppose doing it at the time the request was made, but I was also fine with leaving it until Sierra come out - and it's not as if "[Closer] was unaware of significant additional information not discussed in the RM", as the current release wasn't a "macOS" release then.
