The Closer: non-admin reveal
|
---|
I shall likely remain a non-admin doing the best I can to enjoy discussions with other editors. I sometimes participate, sometimes help with disagreements and sometimes close discussions when needed. I am no stranger to closing contentious discussions about controversial subjects. I sometimes close the easy talks, too, because if it's in the backlog, then it's fair game!

DrChuck68 (talk) 20:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC) ReviewHi User:Paine Ellsworth could you please see this Talk:Sargun Mehta#Semi-protected edit request on 28 March 2024 2A02:6B68:10:6100:240D:8552:D271:2A6C (talk) 11:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC) Hello. Please reopen or, in accordance with the RM, close the nomination as to its merits. The nominator "withdrew" the nomination 16 days into the one-week nom!, which was relisted more than a week ago, and was !ivoted upon and discussed by quite a few editors. Is that allowed, that if a nomination is failing after over two weeks and one relist that it can just be closed because the nominator withdraws? And if so, can the nomination which has already had a full over-two-week run then be newly moved to another group nomination? Please close that one as well since the guideline it points to is inaccurate. In other words, what a mess, and partly because the nominator actually lowercased the nommed titles ahead of the nomination (which should all be returned to uppercase going into the nomination, but not for this 2017 one which already has the full discussion that you've negated). Thanks (and yikes). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:2017 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election_2Greetings, user:Paine Ellsworth. I see you have changed the decision on the requested move at Talk:2017 Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election. I am not opposed to you marking it as "not moved", even after my withdrawal that is fair enough. However, you are mistaken by asserting that I withdrew in due to "wp:SNOW" opposition. I withdrew my nomination in light of discovering policy that applied, warranting me to close this discussion and open a new RM for that page, not because of any opposition. I still stand by my reasoning in that RM even if it is overriden by that of the newer RM and would have held out until the dicussion could be closed "normally" had I not created a new one. I am kindly asking you remove "nominator has withdrawn in light of SNOW opposition," as it is untrue. Thanks BurgeoningContracting 14:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – April 2024News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024Hello Paine Ellsworth, Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points. Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive. Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion. It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated! 2023 Awards Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing! WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits. Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited. Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool. Reminders:

Re this editHi :) While I won't undo it (as at the end of the day, it was only down to my personal preference at the time of typing the comment that I didn't bold the first word, and I don't want to be pointy), I'd prefer it if you didn't copy-edit my messages for me in the future.

Undiscussed move restorationHi. Can I ask why you have restored the undiscussed and no consensus title of the article that was erroneously changed without WP:RM? This is a controversial topic and article, undiscussed and non-consensus moves like that aren’t permitted and should be reverted. Now depending on the current move discussion’s outcome, the original title should be changed or remain the same but the undiscussed move that had no consensus should be reverted as it violated WP:RM. Thanks. Vanezi (talk) 09:02, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Images with misspelled parameterA tag has been placed on Category:Images with misspelled parameter indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

QuestionHello PaineEllsworth, I hope you're having a good weekend. Since the move discussion is closed now, may I revert the previous erroneously changed title which was done without a WP:RM? Thank you. Vanezi (talk) 09:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks!It appears we don't agree on Template:R subtopic, Template:R subpage, Template:R plural, but thanks for pointing out the 21 yr milestone. It seems like only yesterday that I completed the 20!

I am willing to ask whether you knew it was reopened for further discussion without intentionally affecting the move already done. Please revert your closure because @Pppery reverted it and later backed off as per no reason why you did that. Thanks. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 22:34, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Two reverts to Module:Wd/sandboxHello, you made two reverts to the said page some time ago. I presume you were debugging something. Is this still relevant? I mean, we should keep the sandbox up-to-date, to prevent some issues with editors forgetting to synchronize the sandbox with the main module before editing it. Could I revert the sandbox to the up-to-date version, or do you still need that one version which is there currently? Thanks. Janhrach (talk) 09:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

TfD issueHi Paine, I've reverted [1] but only on technical grounds, the TfD template seems to have been causing the If_both template to throw the following <div style="display:inline-block;Expression error: Unexpected < operator"> error, so I've rolled back the change but it's only a technical issue - I'm not in any way opposed to the deletion discussion etc, so if the TfD template can be added back (I'm way behind on my wiki markup to allow me to do it myself) feel free to undo my change. Nick (talk) 11:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
You're all correct, that's all on me. I should have checked for the disabled type in the code. That's something that is not usually needed for these TfM issues, and it's been awhile since I had to ensure that the notice was disabled. So yes, I should have caught that, and I will be more vigilant in the future. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 15:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC) The Signpost: 8 June 2024
