The 78.26 RFA Appreciation award |
Thank you for the participation and support at my RFA. It is truly appreciated. I hope to be of further help around here, and if you see me doing something dumb, you know where to find me. Again, I thank you. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 24:59, 23 December 2015 (UTC) |
Dear Hahc21,
It's me, Duxwing, the copy-editor AN/I restricted in 2014. I write you because you wrote the restriction and because it seems to have expired, but the preceding ordeal so frightened and confused me that I fear editing without assurance that my restriction has, indeed, been lifted.
The restriction comprised three parts, two temporary and one indefinite. The two temporary restrictions were a six-month prohibition against copy-editing scientific and mathematical articles, alongside a general three-month copy-editing prohibition. More than six months obviously having passed, both these temporary restrictions would appear to have expired but for an uncertainty about the indefinite one, an order to receive mentorship. Before you drafted the restriction, the consensus appeared to be that, "should the current mentoring relationship end prior to a successful completion," my mentorship would have begin afresh, and both these temporary restrictions would be reinstated, and their durations fully restored, and that I could not edit whatsoever until my mentorship were done, and that the temporary restrictions would begin only after the mentorship.
While I appreciate that my delinquency presumably needed deterring, and that this snap-back consensus would serve that end, I noticed that, should I not have made the molehill of my restriction into a mountain (my restriction notice does not mention any snap-back besides the need for an AN/I-approved replacement mentor) this snap-back provision could also have unintended consequences. For example, if my mentorship were long and my mentor departed just before its end, then all the restrictions would resume, and I would need to undergo mentorship from the beginning. This unintended consequence could turn a brief exclusion into an effective and permanent expulsion.
Precisely this unintended consequence has come to pass. My mentor, Newyorkadam, appears to lack time for my mentorship, which has, due to interruptions, lasted almost two years. I will ask him if he can finish mentoring me, and if I must ask AN/I to review this case and try to get another mentor approved, await the restrictions' end, and resume editing after another year, then I will. But the first rule about AN/I, as the saying goes, is not to go to AN/I, and so, if Newyorkadam cannot mentor me, I would really rather not. Instead, with your approval and review, I would rather find another mentor among Wikipedia's mentor list, finish my mentorship with him, and resume editing immediately thereafter.
Would this alternative remedy satisfy the spirit, though not the letter, of my restriction, and could you approve it?
Sincerely, Duxwing ( talk) 21:58, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi, re. your non-admin closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edmund Janniger, please note that closure by non-admins is only not allowed absent any contentious debate among participants ( WP:NAC). This was not the case in this AfD where at least seven editors argued for delete - so there was clearly no consensus for "keep". I have reverted your edits. kashmiri TALK 00:23, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

The media file you uploaded as File:VenezuelaParliamentary2015.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

Peacemaker67 RfA Appreciation award |
Thank you for participating and supporting at my RfA. It was very much appreciated, and I am humbled that the community saw fit to trust me with the tools. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 04:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC) |
I was wondering who is looking after the Triple Crown noms. The guy who usually does hasn't been active for 3 months. I asked Crisco who else was familiar and he said you. If you're too busy, then I don't mind taking over from it if you show me how. I'd like to keep it going. — Calvin999 11:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Presidents of Venezuela, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Portuguesa. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:Blackness Castle, Blackness, Scotland..jpg. Since you had some involvement with the File:Blackness Castle, Blackness, Scotland..jpg redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Hi Razr, you nominated this one at FAC, I'll start working on it soon. Let me know how it looks. - Dank ( push to talk) 12:35, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Precious again, your Gravity Bone, a game "praised for its cohesive story and atmosphere and its ability to catch the player's interest over a very short time span without feeling rushed or incomplete"!
Hey, it's been awhile. As the person who assessed the GA for God of War (series) about four years ago (I just realized it was that long ago), it has been nominated for FAC (it's actually been up for a month now). If you have some spare time, do you care to review it? -- JDC808 ♫ 01:45, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Razr Nation. I'm just posting to let you know that Latin Grammy Award for Best Singer-Songwriter Album – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for September 16. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 ( Talk) 22:19, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.
Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton ( talk) 18:43, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
