Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

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,

WMF Research Team

Whaaaaaaa?

[edit]

If I'd realized you were even thinking about it I'd have been on your case to run, but I thought you'd had enough. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 23:41, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was so burned out at the end of 2021. That last year was hard. But 11 candidates for nine seats really isn't enough, and I'm in a better place with my vision now, and I think I've got a little more left to give. Might as well give it now, ya know? Katietalk 00:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I for one am thrilled. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 03:39, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aw, thanks. Good luck, and stay warm up there. :-) Katietalk 04:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OS/RD query

[edit]

Hi Katie. Please review your action. Except for the 13:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC) revision, I don't see how WP:CRD or WP:OSPOL are met for the content or edit summaries. The contents from those other revisions are available elsewhere in the page history. — JJMC89(T·C) 22:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with changing it, but why is a steward who does not hold OS rights on enwiki looking at the enwiki suppression logs? Katietalk 22:30, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JJMC89: Talking to you. Katietalk 22:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I ran into the redacted revisions while looking at the article history for a VRT ticket. Since I can see the content, I looked at the log to know who to ask about reversing the suppression. — JJMC89(T·C) 23:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JJMC89 Out of curiosity, what was the ticket number? CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 23:45, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ticket:2024111410004074, which someone else answered after I switched gears for work — JJMC89(T·C) 00:06, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:

What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate and thank you for the question, Gerda, but it tells me nothing. I don't have the first clue where you want me to go with that. Katietalk 17:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, 11 years ago infoboxes for classical composers were a hot topic. If you look at the talk pages of the 5 composers, do you think they still are? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
