Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:23, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Six Flags (logo).svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

July 2024

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 07:44, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I have rolled all of their edits back and final-warned them. If they continue to make non-useful edits I will block them. Black Kite (talk) 09:09, 15 July 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,

WMF Research Team

Very sorry for your loss

I'm so sorry to hear it, Locke Cole. Bishonen | tålk 20:27, 26 November 2024 (UTC).

Seconded. ―Mandruss ☎ 23:55, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bishonen, @Mandruss thank you for the kind words, the past six months have been exhausting and I wish I could say it was over, but there's affairs to settle and an estate to try and save. If I'm lucky, things will be sorted out by what would have been her 78th. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

For what it's worth, we lost my mother three years ago, but under circumstances that were easier. She was 96 and died of heart failure without a long illness (she drove her car a few weeks prior and was caring for herself days prior). Cancer sucks, no question. Hang in there. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

And I lost my own mother to cancer on June 21st of this year. Cancer does suck. My sympathies to you and your family. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Locke Cole, you are, of course, welcome to respond, but I'm trying to deescalate this discussion so it doesn't just become aspersions cast between two editors who disagree. I don't think any action will come out of this but you should know that this discussion was started. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets closed. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
