Mailing list update

Could a mailing list admin please update the mailing list part of this template? It was last updated 15 January 2021. I don't think I can even access the list of list admins any more, never mind the membership. So, @Risker:. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 10:07, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi zzuuzz. Will be working on several mailing-list related issues over the next week, and I'll include this in the process. Risker (talk) 22:32, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TheresNoTime:? -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 13:21, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Zzuuzz: Oh that looks fun.. I'll update it, as a fair few have been removed -- TNT (talk • she/her) 20:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(no action later) @Primefac: An as Arb are you able to effect some sort of update to this list? I suspect at least a couple of these functionaries left a couple of years ago. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 17:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might be better asking Risker for this; our info is only current as of 2021... Primefac (talk) 18:03, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look shortly, but I think I'll have to verify a few potential changes with Arbcom first. Thanks for the ping, Primefac. Risker (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, mostly organized to proceed, but I have sent an email to Arbcom with a single query. I will complete the work once I receive a response. Risker (talk) 00:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template-protected edit request on 2 December 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the Oversight section, please change [[User:AmandaNP|AmandaNP]]<ref name="prior"/> to [[User:AmandaNP|AmandaNP]], as DeltaQuad was appointed as an Oversighter only when she was elected to the Arbitration Committee. See the Meta rights log entry and its corresponding request at SRP. Thank you, Sdrqaz (talk) 19:10, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done Primefac (talk) 19:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think I actually "got the nod"

- FlightTime (open channel) 19:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You did indeed, which is interesting given I edited the page before I answered the TPER here... ;-) Primefac (talk) 19:19, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that I opened the edit window a split second before your change was sent. IDK - FlightTime (open channel) 19:26, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be a pain, but can you revert your edit, FlightTime? You removed <ref name="prior"/> from her entry in the CheckUser list, but DeltaQuad was appointed as a CheckUser in CUOS2012, before her terms on the Committee. Sdrqaz (talk) 19:37, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I'm the "pain" Done - FlightTime (open channel) 19:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all! Thanks both for your prompt responses. Sdrqaz (talk) 22:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove [[User:Callanecc|Callanecc]]<ref name="prior"/> from both the CheckUser and Oversight sections, pursuant to an announcement by Maxim on behalf of the Committee. I assume that they retain membership of functionaries-en, so leave the last section alone. Thank you, Sdrqaz (talk) 15:41, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Functionaries' list

@Cabayi: You removed TheresNoTime from the functionaries' list. Have they lost access to it? Sdrqaz (talk) 21:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh fekkit! I loathe this template. AFAIK Sdrqaz I removed TNT from the lists of CUs & OSs. Cabayi (talk) 10:07, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Restored – thanks, Sdrqaz (talk) 10:21, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that TNT has now been removed from mailing lists that they are no associated with (OS and Functs). They retain CU, as it is a global list and related to their steward work. Worm^TT(talk) 14:29, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Held prior to appointment to Arbitration Committee"

Are we basing it on a) how they originally received the access or b) how they originally received the access and whether they held it at time of election?

Following Worm's resignation, he was removed from the Oversight list. He had been a CUOS-appointed Oversighter prior to his first election to the Committee but before his most recent term, however, he didn't have that access. He had a prior tag. I had Guerillero down with a prior tag as they had held access originally due to AUSC, but that was removed by Primefac because Guerillero didn't have Oversight when he was elected in ACE2022.

For the record, I'm in favour of the first method as a cleaner method. I also think that the tags are to distinguish between those who got access originally through ACE or through CUOS or AUSC, which is a more meaningful distinction to me. Sdrqaz (talk) 02:19, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was clearly missing the original appointment for the above removal; for all extents and purposes "once a CUOS" is basically "always a CUOS" (i.e. they can always ask for the perms back and we will evaluate them as a returning member, not a new recruit). In other words, Option A. Primefac (talk) 07:31, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redone here. Thank you Primefac. Sdrqaz (talk) 01:44, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
