More agile

[edit]

Regarding this comment: "more agile" is, of course, a relative term :-), as the arbitration committee wasn't all that quick in modifying the discretionary sanctions framework. But true enough, the community as a whole is too big to reach consensus agreement on major changes, and too ingrained with the idea of deriving procedures from the bottom up to worry about aligning discrepancies in its procedures. (Not worrying about trying to align everything has certain practical advantages which probably outweigh the negatives on the whole, but it leaves a lot of room for argument if everyone isn't willing to go along to get along.) I'm guessing there will have to be a bigger divergence between the contentious topics and discretionary sanctions frameworks before the community is willing to invest time to reach a consensus on the matter, and I imagine that once again they'll just say "like that, with these small differences". isaacl (talk) 18:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't quick to modify DS as a whole. It has been quick to make more granular changes. And despite it being slow to modify DS as a whole it's done it a couple of times where as - as you note - the community never has. So even on that front it is "more agile" if not exactly "speedy". Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes – the committee being a much smaller group is actually able to generate real-world consensus, and it can fall back to voting if necessary. So changes everyone agrees on can get done quickly, and larger scale changes stand a much better chance of being considered and eventually implemented. (The vocal segment of the community that gets involved in process discussions seems less interested in that practical example of moving forward, versus ensuring their dissent will be strongly heard.) isaacl (talk) 18:31, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bakreep forever-more. (Thanks for the laugh in a busy-crappy day.) Ealdgyth (talk) 22:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(And that has inspired me to name my next MMORPG character Bakreep... ) Ealdgyth (talk) 22:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope the character serves you well in your MMORPG and may I one day reach the levels that Bakreep has already reached . Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:27, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think?

Tban violations

[edit]

Hello @Barkeep49:, I want to make sure someone is monitoring @Nishidani:'s violations of the topic ban you placed. Two days ago, they made these edits on their talk page [1], which clearly breach the ban. A similar violation happened a couple of weeks ago, where Nishidani also uploaded content violating the ban [2]. @ScottishFinnishRadish: reverted them and pointed out the violation [3]. There’s also this minor edit on an ARBPIA-related article [4], which seems to follow the exact same pattern. I think this situation calls for fair enforcement, consistent with prior cases. ABHammad (talk) 08:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The theee week ban ended on the 14th. Edits on the 15th or 16th are past the topic ban. Ealdgyth (talk) 09:45, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
