AfC reviewer activity reminder

Hi! This is a reminder Articles for Creation reviewers who don't perform any reviews for six months can be removed from the list for inactivity. Don't be a stranger! We'd love to see you take on any number of reviews, but even a single one will be enough to maintain your reviewer status.

Thanks for volunteering, and thanks for the reviews you've done so far! -- asilvering (talk) 19:55, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Happened to do Mohamed Bahi, as if it was teed up right for me! SWinxy (talk) 04:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Tyra Hunter

Looking at the history of Death of Tyra Hunter, you have reverted the victim's deadname into the article five times, in apparent opposition to community consensus (sorry, I got that wrong!). You have not posted to the talk page a single time. To me, not previously involved with this article, this looks an awful lot like edit-warring on a contentious topic. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 12:41, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

It's not against community consensus to include the deadname for deceased trans/nb/gnc people; the guideline applies to living people (and I would extend that to recently deceased, i.e. covered by BDP). I'll start a discussion on the talk page. SWinxy (talk) 18:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry about that; I totally had forgotten this little detail while being busy doing non-Wikipedia things the last several months. Thank you for your well-reasoned post on the talk page! -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I completely understand; it's a very sensitive issue!, and one that I shouldn't be so flippant as to revert so much without discussion. SWinxy (talk) 21:30, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Jessica Reed Kraus

Hello SWinxy, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Jessica Reed Kraus, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jessica Reed Kraus (2nd nomination).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Ibjaja055}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
• October 22–24: Discussion phase
• October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
• November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Lindsay, and I wish you the best, too! SWinxy (talk) 17:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
