Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

I might have to make a comment here because my statement is exactly 500 words. In addition, I hope you are well and that you have a happy new year. Jehochman Talk 04:43, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- As a practical matter neither I, nor anyone else, can properly demonstrate ahistoricism in 500 words. You can see a summary in the Haaretz article,[1] which is based on a serious review by the world's leading Holocaust historians. We are on notice of severe defects, beyond the Warsaw Concentration Camp one that has been fixed. If the Haaretz article is not probative enough, I have asked the author of that article to provide ArbCom a detailed letter, that could be shared with the community, with a more complete explanation of the research that went into the article. It's coming soon.
- Could you address the issue of some of our best editors being driven from the venue by poor behavior, even in the presence of discretionary sanctions? See the statements by Ealdgyth and Ermenrich, and the remarks about Buidhe, in particular. My feeling is that we may have a problem with vested contributors acting badly, which I have explained here. In lieu of a full case, I might be enough to make a motion that ArbCom will step in at AE and provide enforcement decisions when requested by a patrolling admin.
- Thank you, as always. Jehochman Talk 17:55, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
