WW
Hi Guerillero thanks for the note. We were planning on having a very special episode of Wikipedia Weekly from the Diversity Conference in Germany, but it seems some more pressing news items might have us record an episode earlier. Interested in participating? Let me know. -- Fuzheado | Talk 21:10, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Could you drop me an email so we can discuss? Thanks! Fuzheado | Talk 15:15, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom
In the past week, I have been contacted by a wide range of editors (via email, private message, irc, ect.) asking if I am running for ArbCom again. At this point I don't fully know. I have been reading the accounts of former/current arbs on how much time the job takes up. I have also talked with a few on this same topic. My education comes first and I am currently a junior at a liberal arts college. For you non-americans, that means I am looking at wring my thesis next year. However, I am a double major so I have two theses (30+ pages each) to write. I am not fully sure I can write two theses, get decent grades in all of my classes, play rugby, have a social life (with real live people!), and sit on arbcom at the same time.
I am looking at the candidate pool and I am not seeing much in terms of numbers as well as experience. Of the seven, I think I would vote for only three of the candidates. I have a few reforms of the system that I would like to see happen. I do feel that I could add something to the committee.
I think I could be good for the committee but I am fairly sure the committee will not be good for me.
If anyone has any comments on this, I am all ears. --Guerillero | My Talk 18:51, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

DYK for David Abner
 | On 23 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article David Abner, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that David Abner was the only Republican to vote for a section of the Texas State Constitution prohibiting the expenditure of funds to encourage immigration? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/David Abner. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Admin and ArbCom
Hi Guerillero, firstly I'm glad to see that you're running. Rather than clutter up the questions page I just wanted to ask (hopefully) a quick question with maybe a follow up or two. If you are elected will you request your sysop bit be restored? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:40, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Callanecc: I might. From time to time, there are tasks that I would like to use the mop for, at the same time, I am enjoying this non-admin life. --Guerillero | My Talk 21:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. Do you think not having it might present a difficulty as an arb or are you comfortable that you would be able to ask for it back whenever you may need it (remembering that there is a compulsory 24 hour wait time)? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:05, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Callanecc: I do not think that not having the mop on my person will effect my ability to preform the duties of an arb. --Guerillero | My Talk 03:16, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Apology
I mistakenly mangled something you said about another body as about ArbCom. NYB pointed this out at the talk page and I've removed it. Please accept my apologies. Tony (talk) 13:45, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Tony1: Thank you for your quick retraction --Guerillero | My Talk 15:05, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
