There is an ongoing discussion about implementing some kind of standards for administrative and bureaucrat activity levels; and activity requirements for bureaucrats have been explored several times in the past. I've prepared a draft addition to Wikipedia:Bureaucrats that would require at least one bureaucratic action every five years to retain the bureaucrat permission.
In the past, I've been hesitant of such proposals but I believe that if the bureaucrat group as a whole is seen to be actively engaged, the community may be more willing to grant additional tasks to the position.
Please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure if this actually applies to any of us, but if you have not acted as a bureaucrat in over five years, you might consider requesting removal of the permission or otherwise signalling that you intend to return to bureaucrat activity. – xeno talk 14:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

The current Cratchat is a tricky one and we could do with more voices. I'm dropping a line to the Crats who appear to be active but have yet to chime in, to ask if they could possibly do so, asap, as we obviously don't want to keep the candidate hanging on. Could you possibly take a look? Many thanks -- Dweller ( talk) 08:54, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
The Bureaucrat's Barnstar | ||
Time and time again, the bureaucrats of en-wiki demonstrate their levelheadedness and expertise. Like an anesthesiologist in an operating room, you spend most of your time screwing around reading a magazine, but stand ready to spring into action when needed, only to fade into the background once your important work is done.
Or perhaps that's more like Batman? Whatever your preferred metaphor, I am consistently impressed by the bureaucrat corps. Thank you for your service. HiDrNick! 12:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC) |

Hello, Warofdreams,
I just wanted to thank you and all of the bureaucrats who participated in the bureaucrat chat after my RfA was closed. There were a lot of votes and comments to go through along with the enormous amount of content on the crat chat talk page. I appreciate the time and care the bureaucrats took to consider all of the arguments and come to a consensus.
I never imagined that my RfA would be at all contentious or have such a big turnout. Although I hope you don't have many close call RfAs in the future, I know if you do, that Wikipedia's bureaucrats will find their way to a decision. Thank you again for your work in bringing this RfA to a close. Liz Read! Talk! 18:35, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Following a community discussion ending August 2015, consensus was reached to remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years.
“ | Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "
Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity
[1] for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at
meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.
|
” |
To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Wikipedia:Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.
If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. – xeno talk

Hi, I noticed that you have access to some old CPGB reference works. I am interested in tracking down the full names of old parliamentary candidates and hoped that you will to continue to fill in a few gaps beyond my own data. A long shot, but can you identify the D. in James D. MacDougall? He was a former Communist who stood as Liberal candidate for Rutherglen in 1929. Graemp ( talk) 13:02, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
On 18 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Peck (politician), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Peck stood for election to Nottingham City Council 35 times without success before he finally won a seat? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Peck (politician). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

FYI, this is happening: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/San Diego Derby Dolls. An editor has created an account for the sole purpose of getting this article deleted (also tried to get league-founder Bonnie D.Stroir deleted but that attempt was shut down already). Since you created it, thought you should get a headsup. Echoedmyron ( talk) 19:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi War, you recently added the Christopher Thomas Douthwaite link to the Macclesfield entry for 1939. One of my things is collecting data of prospective candidates for this aborted election, as well as a 1915 General election. I was wondering if your source the Dictionary of Labour Biography contained this information. If your copy is electronic, it might be easy to check. I think that I have identified most of the Labour Party prospective candidates for 1939. I accept that this may not be a task that could be done systematically. Graemp ( talk) 19:15, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi War, you recently made edits changing his name from Humphrey to Humphries as well as changing his party description. I was uncertain about these changes and have looked into them.
British parliamentary election results, 1918-1949 by FWS Craig lists him as Ind Lab for 1918 and Lab for 1922. When FWS Craig used Ind Lab it was usually to denote a candidate who was not endorsed by the NEC, even though he/she was endorsed by the CLP. I have some vague recollection of the NEC not wanting a Labour candidate to run against Herbert Craig, who they regarded as sympathetic. I usually trust FWS Craig on these types of party label. Debrett's House of Commons 1922 lists him for the 1918 elections as Lab, but I trust this source less.
FWS Craig lists G.H. Humphrey for both 1918 and 1922. I don't recall Craig making an error on the spelling of a candidate name. The Labour Who's Who of 1924 lists him as George Harold Humphrey. Debrett's House of Commons 1922 lists him as George Harold Humphries, but I trust this source less.
Where did he stand before 1918? Graemp ( talk) 18:18, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Articles for deletion Ken Giami
Hello Warofdreams I saw your profile on the list of wikipedians. It says you are interested in Africa related topics on wikipedia.
Please I need your help, I started an article on Ken Giami and it has been nominated for deletion on grounds of notability ... Ken Giami From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [2]
The notability criteria clearly states as I read, that People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6][3]
I have provided sources of reference that fulfill the above criteria for notability.
The guidelines also states that If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[7][4]
I have also provided multiple independent sources and the page has been edited by other users with references added.
I would like to know the next step for getting the article off the deletion nomination list. There is a talk page on the article [5]
Please I need your guidance on moving to the next stage of getting the article listed

Hey, if you have time, please check out the talk page of this article: Mujaddid
The Ahmadiyyas are regarded as heretics by the orthodox Muslims because Mirza Ghulam Ahmad proclaimed himself a Mahdi and Messiah and also because they do not believe that Prophet Muhammad is the last Prophet. Based on divine revelations, he declared that he resembled Jesus in face and stature, and had been sent to 'break the cross', and show crucifixion to have been a fable. The majority of Muslims do not refer to the Ahmadis by this name, but use the derogative Qadianis (Qadian, in northwest India, is the birthplace of Ahmad) and Mirzai (referring to Mirza Ahmad). https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ahmadiyya&action=history
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, proclaimed himself the Madhi of Islam, the Christian Messiah, and the final avatar or incarnation of Vishnu. Based on divine revelations, he declared that he resembled Jesus in face and stature, and had been sent to 'break the cross', and show crucifixion to have been a fable.[4] Thus, the majority of Muslims do not refer to the Ahmadis by this name, but use the derogative Qadianis (Qadian, in northwest India, is the birthplace of Ahmad) and Mirzai (referring to Mirza Ahmad). By using these terms, the point is being made that Ahmadiyya is a new religion founded by a particular person at a particular time, unlike Islam which is universal: Muhammad is a Prophet, not a founder, and therefore it is considered derogative to refer to Islam as 'Muhammadism'. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Qadiani&action=history
Note: Ghulam Ahmad proclaimed himself the Mujaddid of the 13th century, a claim which is accepted only by the Ahmadiyya, but rejected by all other Muslim communities, many of whom regard him as an apostate. Source: e-Study Guide for: Religion and Globalization by Cram101 Textbook Reviews.
