ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:32, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

  • The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
  • Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Hi

Extended content

I'm your friendly neighbourhood Wikipedia grey-hat LTA. You should probably practice better password security. Just a thought! Salvidumbass! (talk) 02:36, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I think I agree with this statement.  · Salv ·  02:37, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
I concur! Salvid (talk) 02:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Fair argument. Salvadrim (talk) 02:46, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
This. Salvidrin (talk) 02:47, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Good idea. Ben Landry (talk) 02:48, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Je suis d'accord. Benoit Landry (talk) 02:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I think "trash passwords for trash unused accounts" is not unreasonable. However there is also no downside to better passwords, so consider these updated. Ben · Salvidrim!  03:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
