Holiday Greetings

[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. It's been a while. Hope all is well! ―Buster7 ☎

Edit to Recall

[edit]

Hey, I noticed you modified the wording on the recall closure.

Don't you think "25 signatures of extended confirmed editors were gathered in time" is also a bit of a weird way to say it? It makes it seem as though the recall was out canvassing and up against a deadline, rather than simply open for signatures.

Thanks, -OXYLYPSE (talk) 11:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OXYLYPSE Probably, but I'll leave that consideration to User:Alalch E. and Wikipedia_talk:Administrator_recall#Concerns_about_the_word_"successful" as the best person to reword their own comment/best place to figure out this wording.
Once we decide on a consistent wording to use in certified/non-certified RRFA petitions, it should be easy to make the template for closed RRFAs with said wording/retrospectively change the wording to match best practices. Soni (talk) 11:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. @OXYLYPSE: How would you have said it if you were the closer? —Alalch E. 11:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Alalch E.. Probably something really dry and neutral, like you'd get back from the government if you complained to them: "Petition upheld. 25 extended confirmed editors signed this petition within thirty days." For the opposite, "Petition not upheld. 25 extended confirmed editors did not sign this petition within thirty days." OXYLYPSE (talk) 11:36, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"25 extended confirmed editors signed this petition within thirty days" seems like the optimal way to put it for the future. —Alalch E. 11:51, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Numbering scheme

[edit]

Hello, On the ArbCom Candidate question page for Liz, you inserted a follow-up that broke the numbering scheme for the questions. I attempted to fix it here [1]. Does this look right? I'm not confident with wiki markup. Closhund/talk/ 02:57, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Closhund It did work, thank you Soni (talk) 05:28, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heading levels

[edit]

Hi, I'm not sure why you changed some level 2 headings to level 1 headings at Wikipedia:Administrator recall/RfCs. Level 1 headings are virtually never used, except when a page is transcluding multiple other pages in their entirety. Also, it lead to a confusing organization, as "Current RfCs" was a subheading of "Former RfCs and discussions". Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:22, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaotic Enby I was not aware of Level 1 headings virtually never being used, thanks for that heads up. As for the mess, apologies; it's a bit too late at night and I probably shouldn't have been doing the heading stuff now.
I will suggest though, that we should use a separate heading for RFCs and Other discussions. RFCs are far more binding and the level of detail/importance is valid there. Other discussions, less so, and will continue to happen with way more frequency. I recommend clubbing "Early closure discussions" and "Early workshopping" as subheadings under "Former discussions".
Additionally, I recommend "Policy status discussion" being a subheading of "Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) RfC" or just straight up merged. It was effectively a close challenge of that discussion, so clubbing makes sense.
Generally my rule of thumb is minimal details necessary, simply because we'll have a lot more RFCs and reworkings about recall as the months go on. So I was trying to fit the heading format in a way that's easy to expand away. Soni (talk) 20:31, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even if RfCs are technically more binding, I don't think that in itself justifies breaking chronological order, especially since some other discussions also tried to reach a binding consensus. I tried to make a separate heading to discuss each RfC/discussion, especially since people visiting this page likely want to look for a specific discussion.

ACE 2024 Questions

[edit]

Hello, Soni,

It looks like you made a comment to me in the middle of my Questions page but one day, I saw it, then I couldn't find it. Could you add your comments as a specific question in the format designated for this at the bottom of the page? I might otherwise not see it, as right now it is buried between other questions. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
