A barnstar for you!

	The Admin Elections barnstar
	You had proposed this in 2021 and it's happening! After all the time. After the strange closure and its overturning to an only slightly less disappointing result. We finally have an admin election! And candidates that make me happy. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you ToBeFree, but I can't take the credit here - it was definitely a collaborative effort, and the real kudos needs to go to the person who saw the opportunity to push it over the line - Novem Linguae. And I can't even claim credit for the idea, go back Ten years before my proposal, and you'll find discussions that I participated in, and a radical proposal. All I did was put things together in a way that answered the questions I expected to come up.

That said, I'm really pleased to see the elections going on. I'm really pleased to see the number of candidates, with some long standing wikipedians who ought to be admins in the mix. I just hope the rough process is not too unpleasant for them all. Worm^TT(talk) 07:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I had no idea about that history! Surturz is still active and now has the same barnstar.

Haha! WP certainly has a long memory. Thanks for the Barnstar, and I'm glad the community is willing to try something new <3 Thanks to WormTT too for all their service over the years. WormTT has been a diligent voice of calm reason for a long time. --Surturz (talk) 01:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perms

Hey WTT, I was THRILLED to see that you're standing for the arb committee. Since you're back, and planning to go the RFA route instead, I thought it might be worth asking if there are perms that you'd like? Hey man im josh (talk) 19:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Hey man im josh. I can't think of any perms I need immediately, as you say I'm planning to run the gauntlet in a short while and that should cover everything I need. If I change my mind I'll let you know Worm^TT(talk) 19:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you're back, you might want to update what you wrote at the top of your talk page. Anyways, glad to hear it. :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I need to tidy my talk page. I'll be having a go at it in the morning when I'm back at my PC Worm^TT(talk) 20:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll echo that I am thrilled you are running (both at RfA and at ACE). You probably don't remember it, but you were the first person to comment in the first RfC I wrote. I was very nervous that I had messed something up; WT:RFA is not exactly a small-scale forum. Having someone of your tenure was comforting, and I have not forgotten. Welcome back!

Adding my enormous pleasure at seeing you back. A ray of light on an otherwise very dark day. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back, Worm That Turned! For many years, whenever I have seen your signature, it was preceded by wise words. Cullen328 (talk) 04:30, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
