Your edit to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case

Hi there. I also wrote it on your request but I wanted to reiterate here. This project can only deal with local matters. If you wish to have outside help when no recourse is available on the project in question, meta:Requests for comment allows you to start a new discussion about this with people interested in helping with such problems. I suggest you withdraw your request for Arbitration here and start such a discussion at meta-wiki. Regards SoWhy 12:38, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your comments. I am less happy with "Even if all of that were true" - do you assume bad faith? I have already placed a request at meta:Requests for comment. Now we can await the result. What is the benefit with withdrawing the request here? The issue points a real problem: the lack of procedures to handle such cases (one dictator completely owning a Wiki) and the lack of useful information. There is no lack of text, the problem is that all existing text just points nowhere (to Jimbo who does not want to have such cases, to The Arbitration Committee that doesn't exist, to stewards who don't want to do anything, ... etc). Taylor 49 (talk) 12:48, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

No, I'm not assuming anything, which is my point. Whether it's true or not does not matter because en-wiki ArbCom has no power to resolve disputes on other projects. So if you don't withdraw your request, all that will happen is another six arbitrators will say no and then the request will be closed anyway. You can save them the trouble. With meta-RFC there is a way to handle such cases and lack of useful information should probably be addressed at meta-wiki as well because that is the project that was created to handle such problems. Regards SoWhy 13:02, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

The request has been formally declined. For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 22:34, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

I see. I have been offline during the weekend. Now either "meta-RFC" or User talk:Jimbo Wales will have to bother with the case. Taylor 49 (talk) 09:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Taylor 49! You created a thread called Page "Gramophone" is badly needed at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm QueerEcofeminist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Frank Bacon—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks.

Recheck your facts before accusing me of vandalism, sending me to the sandbox, or threatening with "level". Taylor 49 (talk) 13:29, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
