We had Wikipedia:Requests for comment/BASC reform 2014 and then Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Ban appeals reform 2015. It looks like an uphill job getting rid of it. Doug Weller ( talk) 12:36, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

You have this note: "I need to look into Timtrent. The name rings a bell and I can't put my finger on why." They usually go by their WP:DOPPLEGANGER of User:Fiddle_Faddle, which may be why you don't recognize the User:Timtrent moniker on first glance. Very level-headed. Mostly they work the AfC queue, but they also delve into controversial topic-areas [1] from time to time (9/11 and Mormonism and LGBT issues, [2] that I know of). p.s. And while I am here, who ought to be running this year, but has not yet self-nom'd? Thanks. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 20:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello. When I transclude your voter guide (and the others) into a single page (to facilitate reading and comparisons), the resulting page becomes a member of the [[Category:Wikipedia Arbitration Committee Elections 2015 voter guides]]. To correct that, the Category in your page should be protected by a pair of <noinclude>...</noinclude>. In the Main space, I would have done that by myself. In your Userspace, I think it is polite to ask your permission. Pldx1 ( talk) 12:14, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello Worm. I remember you had a way to update this page. At least I think it was you. Any ideas? Peter Damian ( talk) 18:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
I am in a curious mood of today. For example I am curious whether you think the Birmingham Six should have compromised on the forensic evidence, maybe admitting to nitroglycerin on their right hands if the prosecution would admit there was none on their left hands?
Let me tell you a story I rather like about the proponent of compromise who came across two boys quarrellings over a cake. When asked what was the matter the first boy said "He wants my cake, I said he can have half, but he wants it all." The adult replied, with that remarkable perspicacity denied to the young "Well compromise, let him have three-quarters."
All the best:
Rich

How's it going? I initially dropped by to let you know about my candidacy withdrawal and to thank you for your kind yet honest remarks in your voter guide. However, I be noticing you're a lurver of the South West, and actually created the Doom Bar article, so this is probably going to end up being a "I'm Cornish and you're alright in my book" spiel samtar {t} 14:56, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

@ Worm That Turned, Newyorkbrad, and Dennis Brown: As expressed in the title, I am finally here to appeal my topic ban but also with a new proposal. As it is, it's been about a year and a half since I re-joined Wikipedia. Worm That Turned told me to show the arbcom that I can be a productive user in one of my first conversations with him (probably part of gaining the arbcom's trust). In the year and a half since I returned, I have created almost thirty pages (most of which I can guarantee would not exist today had I not returned to create them) with the intention of creating more and made hundreds of edits on various topics. I think it should be more than sufficient enough to earn the trust of the committee. There are a number of articles on Pakistan that need updating and others that need creation and I'm just the man to do it.
I still intend to create and work on articles not related to Pakistan topics, but would like to work on those side by side as well. But if the arbcom is still worried about my edits on these topics I come with the proposal of a restriction of one revert per week on any topics on or related to Pakistan as well as India and Afghanistan (excluding vandalism) for that matter so I can continue creating and working on some of my desired topics without worrying the arbcom. If I can continue for at least a month with this one-revert-per-week restriction without worrying the committee, then the topic ban should be lifted all together. I also offer to stay away from articles sanctioned by the committee, but I'll let the arbcom decide on that.
However, if the committee continues to enforce a complete ban, all I can term it as obstructing a user from contributing in his best ability and therefor obstructing the development of Wikipedia all together. I think this topic ban is ridiculous when going back to it's roots, but I'd rather not get into what happened several years ago. I am here to express that I kept my end of the deal and wish for the committee to give something back, specifically trust, in return.
Looking forward to your responses.-- Nadirali نادرالی ( talk) 03:40, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

re: our comments at AE2 PD-talk (which appears to be taking the place of a workshop?). Seriously though - I don't know Dave. Just from my own observations though - I think some of those who are a bit longer in the tooth in real life - perhaps they have a bit less patience for being baited. It's easy to tell users: DNFTT - but when it happens to a person, often over years, and often by those who are supposed to be administrators .. it's rather difficult to tell someone "just don't say anything". We often ask people to swallow their pride in the name of civility - and I'm sorry - that's just not right. Just IMO. — Ched : ? 11:44, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kevin Gorman. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kevin Gorman/Evidence. Please add your evidence by December 28, 2015, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kevin Gorman/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Lankiveil ( speak to me) 10:55, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Gooday Dave. I sent you a wiki-email relating to my input at this section: User talk:Worm That Turned/Archive 31#You haven't.... As I haven't received a response, could you please confirm if you received it? I left it a while, but gradually surmised the following consequences:
I did mention that I was not good with hardware, software and settings, and, naively, formatted it as a draft email without having even seen the message-interface (having only-recently established a dedicated wiki-address), which I found was a simple message-field. I did tick the 'send me a copy' box but didn't get one, and also didn't send a {{YGM]] - should of, as they say in the modern idiom. Thanks.-- Rocknrollmancer ( talk) 13:45, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Hey Dave, I'm hoping you can find a few moments to voice your thoughts on something. I am considering putting up the {{ rpa}} template for deletion. (everyone get their smiles and chuckles in here - then read on.) I understand it is an established protocol, and I've even used it myself - but here's the thing: I does nothing to deescalate a tense situation. It serves as a Scarlet Letter slapped on a person who is already upset. It's only going to increase disruption, not calm it. When people see a post like "I think User:Example is ( Personal attack removed)", it immediately draws attention to a situation, and the person who said ( Personal attack removed) is immediately going to feel that they are being attacked.
I'm thinking perhaps it's best if there is a need to remove something - just remove the offending remarks, and not slap a "look what this bad person did" template into their posts.
(note: I am also interested in the thoughts of Iridescent, NYB, Drmies, DGG, SarahSV, Bish, Carcharoth, Risker, 28bytes, WJBscribe, Dennis, and many other fine wikipedians. I'll save the (IAR Canvass) "pings" and notifications for later - but encourage any of your ( talk page stalker)'s comments.) — Ched : ? 13:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
You said in the current security review RfC that you might start a Meta RfC on two factor auth. I'd be interested in participating in such an RfC, so are you planning on starting it soon? — Tom Morris ( talk) 16:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

There is a problem about Turkish Kurdistan page. A user which is Bruskom making vandalizm on page. Turkish Kurdistan borders are unclear as everybody knows. The studies on this is so limited. We can use just a few source as CIA, Turkish General Election, Some ethnicity map to estimate the border of Turkish Kurdistan. But this user try to show Kurdish population higher, majority areas larger. He deleted opposite documents which he doesnt like. For example Turkish gerenal election. It is most important documents to show real Kurdish votes and Kurdish majority. For example a map is propered by German " https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Ethnic_Groups_Turkey_Dutch.jpg". Turkish version is File:Türkiyeetnikharitası.JPG. He tries to show Turkish majority cities as Kurdish majority cities. He doeesnt stop the certain individuals from attempting to spread propaganda on this page. I want everybody to know just objective and provable informations. Please help. Antmqr ( talk) 17:49, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Good afternoon,
I have noticed you recently (from August '15) deleted the userspace and talkpage of User:Lukeno94. Since then he has appeared to have either changed username or his account may have been deleted, as a result I have a link to him on my main page which has red linked as a result. Would you be able to confirm if he has left Wikipedia, or if he has had a change of name, with no redirections being set? Many thanks Nordic Dragon talk 14:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello WTT! Quick question – at the former Admins list, former Admin Secret is listed twice. So, should Secret be listed twice? (i.e. did Secret actually have two separate Admin accounts?!)

Last year I unsuccessfully ran for ArbCom (former username Wildthing61476), and in your guide for the election you mentioned that if I were to be interested to become an admin you would consider nominating me. I think I'm interested now. Whenever you can, have a look at my edit history and all and give me your honest opinion. If you don't think I'm ready I'll just stick to doing my thing until it's a better time to do so. If you do, I would be honored to have a chance to collaborate as an admin here.

Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber ( submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.

Hi Worm That Turned! It's good to see you again. I noticed some edits made to User:Worm That Turned/Teresa Helena Higginson by some other users. I just wanted to ask you if these are legitimate edits with your permission? It looks like a team effort, but I want to be sure before I revert any more and possibly cause disruption. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 13:40, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

For this week I'm introducing a sort of game to blast away those stale old stubs with a prize at the end of it. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Stub Obliteration 2016. Expansion rules don't apply to any articles done through this, all you have to do is ensure every article you submit is minimum 1.5kb readable prose in total and adequately sourced and readable and remove the stub tag and update the project tag on the talk page. It could be that the article is 1.2kb readable prose and you simply add 0.3 kb prose and just quickly smarten up the sources and give a minor copyedit. The goal is reducing the number of stubs we have and making them more consistent, minimum start class entries. Read the top for the rules and more details and add your name to it in the style of the main entries page if you want to participate. It's open to contestants and anybody who is participating in the editathon independently. Potentially a lot of points can be earned from mass basic expansions with this!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:22, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I know you have made a few nominations for Editor of the week. There is an important discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention about possibly finding a way to salvage Single-purpose editors and transforming them into positive WP collaborators in the general mainspace. I'm sure you run in to many of them as you wander around WP. I'm also sure that every now and then one of the SPA editors rises above the crowd and seems worthy of more of your time and effort. Your personal insight and experience would be appreciated. WP:WER has become a relative ghost town (and I may be one of the few ghosts left in town) and User:Robert's idea may be just the boost the Project needs to revitalize. It's an opportunity for the Project to actually do something beyond handing out awards. I think Dennis Brown would like it. Please comment. Buster Seven Talk 14:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
