Piles of stones[edit]

Morning Schrocat - hope you are keeping well. You're certainly busy! The Secretum seems to be doing just fine without my two'pennorth, but I shall offer comments re. On Her Majesty's Secret Service. If you've time and inclination, I'd very much appreciate an extra pair of eyes at the FAC for Grade I listed buildings in England completed in the 20th century. It's currently enjoying one Support, and green lights from the Accessibility and Image reviews, but comments have now slowed to a crawl. All well here, although the builders are rather distracting. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 08:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Morning KJP1, it would be a pleasure: I shall be along there shortly for a look. Great to hear all is good there, and I hope the distractions all have a silver lining! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look too (it's at WP:FLC! We get ignored and/or confused with FAC a lot, and I haven't figured out yet how I feel about that ... probably proud). It looks like you're sailing to victory, but if not, give me a ping. - Dank (push to talk) 11:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dank - My, unpardonable, error, for which I apologise! And greatly appreciate the offer. SchroCat's comments have sparked a flurry of interest, so it should be alright, but I shall certainly take up the offer if necessary. Thanks again. KJP1 (talk) 13:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any time. - Dank (push to talk) 13:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
