Who is going to get Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor awards on C-SPAN this afternoon (and possibly evening too)? ;) wbm1058 (talk) 14:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Actually, the question is, "Who are the four tellers?" I just created the redirect. – wbm1058 (talk) 19:32, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Well, this turned out not to be the story.... Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:35, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Piling on

Hey, Brad. I just wanted to let you know that you don't need to preface anything whenever we disagree. I already know you to be without bias and with a great sense of objectivity. Now, I realize I didn't follow up when you responded to my "Unconscionable" objection, and I'm sorry about that. Because it was actually a really good answer. You were right about the language being merely emphatic rather than having had any connotations of an insult. And trust me, even if I were to count it as a vindication —which I do not— having Justin away for the foreseeable future totally sucks. Because he's an amazing editor and an awesome guy. Anyway, again, I'm sorry for not following up, I was just a bit rattled (on as well as offwiki) at the time, so somehow it just never came to pass, even though it should have. Well, better late than later. Because I think it's important I let you know that even when we disagree, I pretty much always find insight and humanity in thoughts. After all, I have voted for you more times than to any other arbitrator in the history of the Committee. I 've always held you in the highest esteem and that hasn't changed. Kind regards, El_C 09:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@El C: Thank you for this post and your kind words. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:54, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for the accidental rollback --Guerillero Parlez Moi 02:01, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

@Guerillero: No problem. I used to perpetrate a few of these every year, which I also had to apologize for, until I got a new smartphone, which has a built-in confirm screen when the rollback button is clicked. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:55, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia

Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects.

The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat!

We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

6:00pm - 7:00 pm online via Wikimedia NYC on YouTube
