 When you set auto-closing of the comments on old posts (referred as
 "articles" on the Settings > Discussion screen), comments on older Pages
 are closed as well.

 '''To reproduces:'''

  1. Create a Page titled "Old Page", backdate it (older than 14 days) and
 publish.
  2. Create a Page titled "New Page" and publish it.
  3. Go to Settings > Discussion and check the box next to "Automatically
 close comments on articles older than 14 days"
  4. "Old Page" will lose the comment form, while New Page doesn't.

 '''Suggestion:'''

  - Do not close comments on Pages even if they are old.
  - Change the label "Automatically close comments on articles older than X
 days" to say "Automatically close comments on '''Posts''' older than X
 days".
