This review is not possible to finish, because I get that this question can not be closed as a dupe of this question, because it has no accepted or upvoted answer (although it has two answers - each with 6 upvotes).

And just happened to me as well (on stackoverflow.com/q/14657351/179910, in case a mod can bypass the checking, and take care of the dupe).– Jerry CoffinFeb 2, 2013 at 0:48

Sorry about this - the test was inadvertently negated, so it only let you close questions as duplicates of questions with no answers.
PSA: don't write production code when you're sick. It might catch something from you!

1The worst of it is, I did test it - but I didn't test it with a user who wasn't me.– Shog9Feb 2, 2013 at 2:16
The bug still exists as of a few minutes ago. Here's what it looks like:
I accessed this one from the review queue.
The question is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14647153/how-do-you-install-pip-on-windows-7-64-bit, which is proposed as a duplicate of How do I install pip on Windows?, which has 10 answers, with the accepted one with 175 upvotes.
Possibly related is that the answer is community wiki. But the other instances linked have the same issue but are not CW.
The same thing happens when you access the close dialog from the question itself (clicking on Close):

Another example: I wanted to mark scoped_ptr ownership as a duplicate of What is a smart pointer and when should I use one?, which has 17 answers. The top answer has 239 score.
