- I can't.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 12:42, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- The current situation is that the current estimated lag is over 3300 minutes, and it will definitely cause trouble if nothing is done to it. Sanmosa Outdia 10:11, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- It’s not going to go away until the Internet Archive comes back up. Sorry.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 11:29, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Something just occurred to me....
Do we know what User:Cyberpower678/RfX Report will display when seventeen thirty-one or more RFAs go live in the admin elections about a week from now? Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 20:51, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- Nothing. The bot doesn't interface with SecurePoll, but I can certainly try to reprogram it to do so if there's interest.—CYBERPOWER (Around) 18:39, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, that seems super obvious now that you say it. If it becomes an ongoing thing it may be worth looking into having it post something (but probably not 30+ candidates) but as this is, for now, a one-off event with a lot of eyes on it it probably doesn't need to.

Voter roll
Hello friend. We are ready to generate the administrator election voter rolls. You're probably pretty busy, but the sooner the better so that WMF has plenty of time to program it in before October 25. Got an ETA for this? Thank you very much for your help. –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- One moment. I'll get started on this. I'm also going to be working on the ArbCom voter rolls too. Great time to knock both of those out.—CYBERPOWER (Trick or Treat) 15:32, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
