Moving house

I am currently in the process of moving house and will be less active because I don't have internet in my new apartment yet --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 14:00, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

"Senate of Wikipedia"

Hi. While I appreciate the oppose vote on that ridiculous motion, there seems to be a substantial typo in your description of ArbCom. It is wildly closer to a kangaroo court than it is to a senate. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015: The results

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.

This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Belarus Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.

Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to United States Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.

A full list of our award winners are:

We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

GMO Arb case

Hi - just checking on progress on the PD for the GMO case. Wondering if you and NativeForeigner (talk · contribs) might have an updated ETA? Minor4th 23:09, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

@Minor4th: A few days, but look at my announcement above --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 15:17, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

OTRS issue

Could you take a look at ticket:2015110610017833? I understand you are moving so the timing is awkward but it involves you. I didn't see an immediate answer or I would've answered it myself.--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

I ended up providing a partial answer, but your involvement at some time will be helpful.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:26, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
I might be able to get to this by Monday --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 21:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the update.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:04, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
I got another note today, regarding this request. Can you take a quick look please?--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:18, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
@S Philbrick: OTRS does not handle these types of requests. --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 17:33, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Current ArbCom case Reply

I'd just like to point out that I was not admonished in [[1]]. The result was that my action was "suboptimal" (which most of the parties disagreed with, but hey) but it was not an admonishment. I would appreciate it if you considered that in your comments on the current case. Thank you, Black Kite (talk) 23:24, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

My thoughts on Wikipedia in general right now...

Sniff sniff...

Shark cat smell blood in this discussion. Shark cat advise deep breaths and getting bigger boat. Also catnip.
