Guide

Hi Ealdyth. I think this is the second time i've come to your talk with regard to your arb voter guide. First off, i'll repeat what i said last time ~ thank you! What i'm really here for, though, is to mention and appreciate the last two points in the guide, your soapbox about gender and, most especially, NONAZIS. I can't understand why gender isn't on all our minds much of the time as we edit, especially as we come into conflict/work together as a community; it can't help but be relevant. I have been vaguely concerned for quite a while ~ since i first learned of it ~ about NONAZIS, and recently that concern has moved to worry, though i've not really put my finger on why; your soapbox stand verbalises and solidifies for me, making it clear why that essay should never be more than an essay and, ideally, should be deprecated. So, at risk of becoming repetative, thank you! Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 08:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Umm, remind me...why is your name not on this page? Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 08:51, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not there because, first, I would suck at it. I'm not a good temperament for such a thing. Second, I don't have the time. I quit as FAC coord because I don't have the time for that, so I don't have the time for much else either. Ealdgyth (talk) 12:34, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – December 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2021).

Administrator changes

Technical news

Unregistered editors using the mobile website are now able to receive notices to indicate they have talk page messages. The notice looks similar to what is already present on desktop, and will be displayed on when viewing any page except mainspace and when editing any page. (T284642)
The limit on the number of emails a user can send per day has been made global instead of per-wiki to help prevent abuse. (T293866)

Arbitration

Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee Elections is open until 23:59, 06 December 2021 (UTC).
The already authorized standard discretionary sanctions for all pages relating to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes), broadly construed, have been made permanent.

Thank You for your Arbitration Committee Elections 2021 Voter Guide

Hello Ealdgyth, I would like to thank you for publishing and providing your voter guide for Arbitration Committee Elections 2021 at User:Ealdgyth/2021 Arb Election votes. It has been very helpful and useful to me in learning about the pros & cons of all the different candidates with respect to their suitability for Arbitration Committee. It had proper detailed analysis and rationale on every candidate and helped me in voting informatively. However, there is one thing which I wanted to suggest to you is to use more graphical symbols/designs in sections when describing support, oppose and neutral for candidates (like most other editors who write voter guides do) as there is already a lot of text, so it just makes things a bit more easier to read and understand, that's all. Nonetheless, apart from that everything was good. Thanks. TheGeneralUser (talk) 01:55, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ealdgyth. I liked your guide and I echo TheGeneralUser's thoughts above (except that my own guide does not state whom I would actually vote for). Your guide might well reflect the results. 52% of the votes were cast on day 1 of the ballot. You might find this full analysis of the campaign to be of interest. You are welcome to leave your thoughts on its talk page. Take care, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, thanks as always. No complaints here! Johnbod (talk) 05:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Saying "slow as Christmas" no longer holds true the older one gets. I've long since started using "slow as molasses (in January)". But what about the NEW YEAR!!??

Snow tires

Hey Ealdgyth,

How did you become "a passenger in a semi-truck driving through snow-covered Nebraska"?

François Robere (talk) 18:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Husband is a over-the-road semi driver. His company lets family members go out with the drivers ... so I usually spend part of the winter traveling with him... the other choice is to stay in snow-covered Wisconsin for four months. I find the excuse to travel with him is fun and exciting. We're taking a load from WI to CA right now... pipes for ... I don't know what the heck they are going into but something in San Mateo, CA. Roads are clear, it's just snowy. Pretty. Donner Pass tomorrow! Ealdgyth (talk) 18:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Nice! Enjoy the trip! François Robere (talk) 20:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
