Hi TP. What do you mean to say with " Those asking for sanctions messed the 'last chance' up." -- Do you mean to say that @ Casprings: is responsible for TTAAC's personal attacks and battleground treatment of other editors? Have you looked at TTAAC's edit summaries and talk page rants since that warning? I know you are a man of reason and temperament so I wonder whether your words at AE fully expressed your thoughts? SPECIFICO talk 21:02, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
What if I told you I feel this hostility every day on Wikipedia? You've seen my behavior the last few months, I've certainly been battlegrounds and hostile myself. You say that TTAAC is very disruptive compared to everyone else. Have you considered the possibility that TTAAC is as disruptive as everyone else's disruption put together? It's tough being the outsider and the only way to get heard is to be as loud as the echo chamber. Why do you think BLM was blocking highways? Why do you think feminists have sit-ins in colleges and universities? Why do you think that feminist group in Russia protests topless? When your voice is being drowned out, disruption is the only way to bring attention.
I'm not saying that TTAAC's behavior is forgivable or acceptable. Nor am I saying it is provoked. I even hold myself responsible for my own behavior these last few months. What I am saying is that I understand it. I'm not going to go fall on my sword for TTAAC. If I'm going to put my name on the line for an editor, it needs to be an editor that has displayed exemplary behavior. I either haven't found such an editor, or such an editor doesn't need me. Either way, when the time is right, when the person is right, I'll make my case that there is unfair treatment. For now, I'm just going to try to share my experience and hope others understand.--v/r - T P 22:58, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Wow. So you don't think that the diffs I added or the ones that others added to the AE thread demonstrate disruptive editing? How has he helped improve the articles? He has only provided a role model to half a dozen other editors who are following his model of attack and POV rather than collaboration. That's exactly what DS are intended to prevent. Dozens of other editors take one look and walk away without contributing in these areas. SPECIFICO talk 02:31, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
*"reply to|Sandstein His user page is not within the topic area".-- Yes it was. American Politics. SPECIFICO talk 04:54, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
I'm not going to go through the diffs again. I'm moving and my desktop is in a crate somewhere. I only have a small tablet to work off of. But, I did see interactions in 2015 and 2016 to. It wasn't a span of no interactions in 4 1/2 years. I only focused on 2014 because it was the year in dispute. I wasn't going to address the last part, but, yeah, I agree that lists are a bit dumb. I have a list on my user page, though, if you haven't noticed because I got hounded for several years. But, besides that, I've held grudges myself. Some I let go, some I was able to forgive and be forgiven, others I still hold onto. Unless I'm 3 sigma-plus "off", I don't think it's abnormal human behavior. Might be in this particular case, but not for the reasons you've described.--v/r - T P 01:34, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi TParis. When you have a moment, there's a UTRS response template that needs to be updated. There's a template titled "ArbCom" that references BASC (which no longer exists). Do you know if this is the template editors are sent when they're temporarily banned from UTRS as well? There's a separate response template for CU/OS blocks that directs them to ArbCom for final appeal. That one is okay. Lastly, can I have my tool user status changed to Oversighters and Checkusers? Thanks, Mkdw talk 05:08, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee will, for the time being, take appeals (i) from editors who are subject to an {{ OversightBlock}} or a {{ Checkuserblock}}; (ii) from editors who are blocked for reasons that are unsuitable for public discussion; and (iii) from editors blocked or banned by Arbitration and Arbitration Enforcement decisions.
Access denied: testutrs@salvidrim.net has been banned until 2017-01-08 03:04:43 by Salvidrim! for the reason 'test'. If you still wish to appeal your block, you may visit us on IRC at #wikipedia-en-unblock (if you haven't already done so) or email the Ban Appeals Subcommittee at arbcom-appeals-en@lists.wikimedia.org .

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, just to continue the discussion that started at User talk: Doors22, it doesn't say anywhere that talk-page access has to be removed before someone can appeal via UTRS.
WP:UTRS says: "If you have had talk page access removed or find the template to be complicated, you can use the link below to request an unblock ..." So removal of talk-page access isn't necessary. It concerns me that admins are being told we can't refer people to UTRS unless we remove talk-page access, because that's in some ways a cruel thing to do, so it should only be done where there's good reason.
I know you weren't the one saying that, but you know your way around, so I was hoping you could help to make it clear. SarahSV (talk) 07:30, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, this is dragging on for ages, I would like it to end, either way banned or not banned but it is just annoying to open wikipedia and see it just there on my watch list for 2 weeks now?. I refuse to engage in the same behavior of looking for meatpuppets to support me. although Im sure I could gather a similar number. Would it be possible for you admins )I´m sure you all know each other) to just have a look at my case and decide whether I should be topic banned? I would really appreciate it.

On your ANi comment, I see no dispute between us. We were both editing fast and furious with edit conflicts. The Heavy source was already linked several times and I was scanning for a different source to broaden the references. I definitely don't think that negative material should go unsourced, nor would I characterize the fact a lawyer represented a high profile client as negative material about either the lawyer or client.

I understand that you just approved the deletion of the page for Dennis M. Kelleher for lack of notability. Literally as the decision was made (today, 6/23/2017) I was drafting materials, extensively cited and footnoted, to show that he is a person of some prominence in his field. I have tried to paste it in below but see that the footnotes did not make it. I am happy to send a document to you to allay your concerns, but what I am hoping to do in the short-term and as quickly as possible is restore the page so I can also publicly address the notability issue. I appreciate your consideration.
Kelleher and his work at Better Markets has been profiled in the media many times, including in the New York Times (“Facing Down the Bankers”), where he was described as “one of the most powerful lobbyists on financial regulatory reform”; by Congressional Quarterly as an “Influencer,” which stated “Kelleher has become K Street’s most vocal counterweight to the bank lobby, often called to Capitol Hill to defend the Dodd Frank law” ; and by Wealth Management, where he was referred to as one of “Ten To Watch in 2016.” He was also profiled by the PBS show Need to Know (“Braking the Banks”), and featured prominently in Frontline’s award-winning inside story of the global financial crisis (“Money, Power and Wall Street”), as well as in the German and French public television documentaries on the global financial collapse.
He also frequently speaks on financial matters and is often interviewed and widely quoted in US and international media on the important financial issues of the day. Since taking the helm of Better Markets seven years ago, Kelleher has been interviewed more than 3,000 times and quoted or appeared in the media over 2,000 times. When the news broke that JP Morgan Chase, the world’s largest bank, was facing billions of dollars in losses due to its so-called London Whale trading, policymakers, rule makers, elected officials and the global media sought out Kelleher for analysis, insight and implications. He was interviewed extensively on the subject and his comment appeared in the global media including the Financial Times , Huffington Post , The New York Times , and The Washington Times . Similarly, throughout the recent Wells Fargo fraudulent account scandal, which cost the CEO of the fourth largest bank in the US his job, Kelleher was sought after for comment from those same policymakers as well as industry, regional, national, and international news outlets, including The Charlotte Observer , American Banker , The Washington Post , The Los Angeles Times , the Associated Press , and the Financial Times . When it was reported that National Economic Council Chair and former Goldman, Sachs President Gary Cohn supported reinstating the Glass-Steagall law that separated investment and commercial banking , Kelleher was once again the voice that the media sought to provide critical perspective and analysis on the story, appearing in The New York Times , The Washington Post , and the Financial Times . Kelleher has also appeared on television, commenting on the first 100 days of the Trump Administration and Trump’s record with Wall Street .
Kelleher is also regularly asked to provide testimony to House and Senate committees on financial protection rules. He has appeared before the House Committee on Natural Resources on the impact of Wall Street speculation on gasoline prices , the House Committee on Financial Services on the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on credit and job creation and also on the impact of the Volcker Rule on markets and job creation , the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry examining the Dodd-Frank Act after two years and on the re-authorization of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission . He has also appeared before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs to discuss the Financial Stability Oversight Council and the House Education Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions on the Department of Labor’s “best interest” fiduciary rule . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charnich ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I was disappointed to see that Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Noam Javits was closed some 30 minutes after you opened it. I've been looking into the same group (maybe) and sharing notes with a trusted administrator. I have a hunch that they have left enough breadcrumbs to tie together two non-stale edits somewhere. I or someone else just have to find them. There's a long trail of LA IP addresses to start with.

Hi there, thank you for your work in updating the Wikipedia:Featured articles/By length page! It's a fun and interesting list, and I appreciate having the updated numbers every time I check it. Would it be much trouble to similarly update the Wikipedia:Good articles/By length page?

Regardless, thanks again for your work on the featured articles list. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 03:20, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

My apologies for being a bother again, but Snoogansnoogans still seems to be mass-editing pages to character-assassinate any prominent individuals and organisations critical of Islamism or mass-immigration, in order to turn Wikipedia into his own personal propaganda machine.

UTRSBot left this edit on my talk and it's a problem – reveals an underlying IP address in the edit summary. Suboptimal. Let me know when you get the bot fixed so I can oversight it.

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

I apologize for posting here again. I know you didn't want to engage on this issue so I'll say my piece and leave it at that. I think so many people are posting here because they know you are a reasonable person capable of weighing both sides of the matter. I'm sorry that you were unjustly accused, that's unacceptable, and I see how that experience would make you sympathetic to the plight of someone who you think might be likewise unjustly labeled. But your sympathies should lie not with the sexist voter, but with Megalibrarygirl, who is herself unjustly accused of bias with absolutely zero evidence besides the sexist suppositions of some random editor. You have the best of intentions but unfortunately you're falling into the same pattern we see so often in this toxic community, where the worst of us are vociferously defended while the best of us are thrown to the wolves.

Sir,
Regrettably, my publisher (Naval Institute Press) will not accept footnotes for Wikipedia articles, this despite many of the newer postings rising to the level of excellent journal articles. As a fall back, NIP is directing me to consult various sources in the articles so as to produce footnotes based on those sources, or, to contact the authors (my preferred fall back), and cite interviews or correspondence with those individuals. I would be happy to cite you personally in the notes, and in the acknowledgements as well, and to send you a copy of my book when it is finished.
There is at least one article that I referenced in my notes that has no sources referenced for the first two paragraphs of the article. I need to speak with you to inquire what those sources were. The URL for the article, which I believe is yours, lies below: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ford_Island&action=history
Thank you a great deal for your time.

It's a bit frustrating to read that you should "hash things out" with someone you have an interaction ban with. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:31, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
Regarding my "petty and unfair" question, were it to have been given in a vacuum, I'd agree that it would be a "gotcha" example of me trying to trip someone up for not knowing every policy. However, the context of this was ADJEAD repeatedly demanding authorization to run a bot to slap the {{
WPUK}} template on every article relating to the UK in any way, despite there being
specific instructions on the WPUK page that the template is for general UK-related articles
, not for articles falling into the assorted sub-projects (were this not the case, WPUK would probably have over a million articles falling into its remit); he also wanted to run a bot to add the importance=
field to every WikiProject template, even though many WikiProjects—including some of the largest and most active ones like
WP:VA—have made explicit decisions to exclude the importance field from the templates, so if he'd actually gone ahead with this it would have meant someone wasting a lot of time mass-reverting him to avoid editors trying to fill in the blank importance fields in good faith and getting confused when their ratings weren't visible. Given that this is someone asking to be given a position where the principal requirement is attention to detail and understanding of current policies, guidelines and unwritten consensuses and how they interact, I'd argue that my question and how he answers it is directly relevant, especially in light of the fact that the entire history of his talkpage consists of little more than assorted people saying variants of "stop what you're doing and actually read the instructions first". ‑

Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

I think that there are some rather serious problems with this article. As can be seen on the article talk page, I have expressed serious concerns about a lede that already looks grossly over balanced in favor of the subject's presidential term becoming even more unbalanced. I think the input of a knowledgeable admin who might not have the same presuppositions as many of the editors there would be very beneficial. John Carter ( talk) 16:12, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
I have made a proposal (not an RfC yet) about admins and COI/paid editing, here: Wikipedia_talk:Administrators#Conflict_of_interest_proposal. I copied evidence there that i had gathered in the arbcom case, and this time I kept the part where i mentioned you. Last time you asked me to notify you in addition to pinging you - so I have this time! Jytdog ( talk) 21:58, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I've caused this year to end on a chord of disappointment for many, but I hope that despite my mistakes and the differences in opinion and perspectives, and regardless of what the outcome is or in what capacity I can still contribute in the coming year, we can continue working together directly or indirectly on this encyclopedic project, whose ideals are surely carried by both of our hearts. I'm hoping I have not fallen in your esteem to the level where "no hard feelings" can no longer ring true, because I highly respect you and your dedication to Wikipedia, and I sincerely wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.

Greetings,
"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

TParis: I have been doing The Signpost's arbitration reports for a few issues now. For this issue we are preparing a writeup on the Mister Wiki case that just closed. I followed your input keenly, particularly what you wrote in the workshop phase. I'd like to invite you to prepare an up to 250 word response to the report I've drafted, or really whatever you think the readers should know about the case. I'll be asking another key contributor for input as well.
Right now we are really close to our proposed publication deadline, so if you would like to contribute please tell me if you could do it by the end of day Friday (Pacific Time). If the publication deadlines don't line up with your availability, then of course you can post your reader comments after publication as usual. ☆ Bri ( talk) 20:52, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Hell TParis, I'd like to make a quick comment on your final responses to the now closed Admin Incident report regarding Collaboration with the Nazis discussion. The issue here was user François Robere's sanitization of parts of the article related to Jewish collaboration in Poland by removing text backed by reliable references related to the Jewish Ghetto Police, Judenrat and organizations such as Żagiew and Group 13, which worked directly for the German Gestapo. Also, user François Robere, repeatedly removed reliable reference sources and statements, which discussed comparisons of how may Poles collaborated vs. how many aided Jews. -- E-960 ( talk) 09:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
If you haven't gotten the memo, edit summaries are now 1000 characters long. That means when you copy your entire message into the edit summary, it shows in the history. As this is rather unnecessary, I would ask that you please cease from doing so. Obviously, writing a summary is okay, it's just the huge blocks of text that are a little much. An example can be seen here. Thanks. Primefac ( talk) 02:03, 2 March 2018 (UTC) (please ping on reply)
Edit summaries should accurately and succinctly summarize the nature of the editso really copy/pasting your message into the edit summary isn't really following the spirit of the guidelines.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

It has been a year since we last chatted ( [3]) and unfortunately, I was just notified that the openHAB draft page is marked for deletion [4].

You are only the second editor I have ever directed a bugger off at, and the first came to my talk page to accuse me of disrespecting the memories of the dead victims of a mass shooting. That might give you a feel for how much offense I've taken to your assertion. To walk into a discussion, clueless of what one thinks and why, and dismiss it as nonsense without a second thought is ... if I AGF hard enough ... poor form. The only reason I'm here at this moment, now that I've cooled off a bit, is that you are an editor I have some serious respect for. Rzvas has been pursuing the candidate since they went to ORCP. At ORCP they presented a biased version of Jbh's participation in an AN/I discussion and accusations of incivility and canvassing, presumably in the hope of swaying the other respondents against Jbh. This was soundly rejected by all involved. All of this was actually brought up by Jbh in their response to Q2 at RfA. On top of that, one of their two arguments to oppose is about a comment that Jbh left Talk:Uebert_Angel#Stubbed article again. How curious that Rzvas choose to ignore that Jbh had struck the offending comment a mere hour after he'd made it, and how strange that Rzvas went back two years to find it. I suspect that Rzvas did an edit summary search for the word "fuck", of which only two instances exist, and one is not uttered by Jbh. I.e., they were searching specifically for mud to sling. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Simon_Mugava/Archive is also relevant concerning that comment. So two times, Rzvas twists the truth to make Jbh out to be the bad guy. That in combination with two other comments, one at the RfA and one on the talk page, which I'll leave you to find, leaves me with the distinct impression that Rzvas is pursuing a grudge.

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election are now open. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 00:54, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, sorry for another message about this, especially as I see you are now semi-retired. (Congrats: four days a week on the golf course?) In any event, the WP:Featured articles/By length page had a singular update last month, so thanks if you were behind it. It hasn't updated since. It stopped automatically updating exactly a year after you first put the bot back into motion, and so I wonder if there is just something simple about the code that needs to be adjusted in order to get it running again.

Per your request, I am outlining my rationale for removing your comments. Despite your selective reading of WP:TPG, the guidelines permit the removal of personal attacks and trolling at Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#EDIT. Your image is an attack at both editors in the dispute that calls them both foolish; which they may be, but it's still a personal attack. As you've used WP:ADMINACCT to compel my response to your question, I assume it means you agree I acted solely in an admin capacity and I maintain my WP:UNINVOLVED status with regards to you. If you have any other questions, feel free bring them to a noticeboard.--v/r - T P 16:44, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Aloha TParis, I hope you've been well! I worked with you a few years ago on an edit-a-thon at Shangri La in Honolulu (I participated as AwakesUndo, but subsequently lost access to that account). I'm now at the Honolulu Museum of Art, and am planning a half-day edit-a-thon for February 8, 2019. The focus is on expanding existing articles about Hawai'i artists using, among other sources, a newly digitized collection of the museum's member newsletter, which contains biographical information, information about exhibitions, etc. For the Shangri La edit-a-thon, you helped us to set up an event page on WP:GLAM. Would you be the person to contact about this? Would you like to participate in the event? I've enlisted a couple of other local editors to help on that day too. Please let me know!

Hey, I've noticed you saying several times something along the lines of "Snoog's editing efforts are focused almost exclusively on adding negative material to Conservative BLPs." I just wanted to pop in and say that Snoog has been on my radar for a few months now, and I'll admit that I sometimes get that impression as well, especially when I first encountered them, though less now. The things that have held me back from placing any additional sanction on Snoog are:
Obviously I can't definitively say that you're wrong, and I don't have the time to dig in and thoroughly analyze their thousands of edits, which I realize you did a bit of back in 2017. And I do think that the outcome of that AE report was good. Surprisingly good. I really like it when a sanction directly addresses the problem that precipitated it. Snoog wasn't on my radar back then but I wonder if they haven't improved since then.
Anyway I think it's clear they are "left leaning". But I haven't seen them cross any lines, otherwise I would have already placed sanctions myself. I suspect part of the problem is volume (you annoy more people when you make 8,000 edits per year) and part is their more aggressive editing style (they aren't shy about reverting). If I do come to see a problem I will definitely try to intervene with a sanction that directly addresses the problem, allowing the user to still channel their energy into improving the encyclopedia while minimizing disruption or collateral damage. ~ Awilley ( talk) 20:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

if a user asks you not to edit their user pages, it is sensible to respect their request. TP's comment merely reflects—baldly—accepted practice, I fancy. Happy editing! —— SerialNumber 54129 16:19, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi,
UTRS Bot hasn't closed appeals in a long time now. Is there any update on what is happening with this?-- 5 albert square ( talk) 01:00, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

In the month of September, Wikiproject Military history is running a project-wide edit-a-thon, Backlog Banzai. There are heaps of different areas you can work on, for which you claim points, and at the end of the month all sorts of whiz-bang awards will be handed out. Every player wins a prize! There is even a bit of friendly competition built in for those that like that sort of thing. Sign up now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/September 2019 Backlog Banzai to take part. For the coordinators, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 08:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
The wholesale removal of information from Ring Inc. made it less informative, leaving only corporate history and criticism of the company's partnerships with police departments, without any context as to what the products being criticised are. I did trim out some wording that sounded like PR. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:07, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election are now open. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 02:38, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
G'day everyone, voting for the 2019 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open. This is a simple approval vote; only "support" votes should be made. Project members should vote for any candidates they support by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September 2018. Thanks, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 03:37, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Reggie Arnold. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Cbl62 ( talk) 15:31, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
I am confused by your closing summary on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reggie Arnold. If you recognize that there is no consensus to delete the article, why did you delete it? Finding a consensus is the point of AFD.-- TM 14:07, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
It seems like you have grossly misrepresented the delete !votes at this AfD where 4 delete !votes also used GNG, TOOSOON as argument for a promotional article based on one event against several handwaves of WP:RS and a disruptive filibuster of press releases. Can you undo your closure to simple 'Delete'? WP: LASTING is valid since the subject is all about an event. Orientls ( talk) 18:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
You're changing that meaning to "one-off event populated in press releases for sometime becomes notable". Those are similar lines of thought, but distinctly different. The first asserts a negative, the second a positive. You're setting up a false dichotomy fallacy.
5 out of 6 delete !voters cite WP:LASTING as the rationale - 2 of those as the only rationale. The 6th cites WP:TOOSOON, a essay, which actually isn't even tangentially related because it is speaking about speculative information - this event happened and has verifiable sources.
I think the only one misrepresenting anything, especially grossly, is you.--v/r - T P 19:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
Only commenting because I happened to see the AfD and TP's talk page seems to be on my watchlist. Speaking as someone completely uninvolved, FWIW I wouldn't bother with DRV. This was well within the discretion of the closer. Had I commented I would probably land somewhere in "weak delete" for reasons not far from Goldsztajn (I dare say it's difficult to hold a film festival in NYC and not receive a good amount of local coverage about it), but it's unambiguous that multiple delete !voters had poor arguments (there only being one instance of the event is irrelevant, but people kept mentioning it as part of their argument, for example). If you want to give it another go, wait 6 months and renominate rather than take it to DRV. IMO. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:42, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
I think the only one misrepresenting anything, especially grossly, is you" confirms that you were wrong person to make the AfD close. You still haven't named a single !keep vote that made any sense so far. Was there any? You should be far more careful and loyal to policy when you are dealing with promotional junk. Orientls ( talk) 03:37, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I figured I'd bring this here as it's not a main topic for the Arb page. Sadly, I found it difficult to try and integrate 42 into the project. They were asking for time to be put into something like a sales pitch and then basically I would have to convince people to be interested. After that, I would only get them for like a week at best to start small. It's hard to identify specific tasks that can be finished in the small amount of time, and then it would have required me to look over their work as they go, yet another time commitment. At the time I didn't have a working product either, I only started having it in September I think it was.
From what i've been able to do, I do have most of the basic appeal work done, just missing the js for the page and a few small things. Database structure is fully built. So right now, just handling userrights and a few other admin things before I will have a basic project to launch. Additional improvements & features can come from that. I still do have interested parties such as ptwiki so we will get our use out of this cross wiki. --

You are being messaged because there was a bug in UTRS that made it look like you had access to no appeals in the system. This has now since been patched and will be tested more before fully implemented again. You can track the progress if you wish here. I appreciate your patience and wanted to stop by to say try again, and let me know if anything else is wrong. Please also ping me if you reply here.
