ACE 2021

Hi Guerillero. Thank you for your courage to run in this year's ACE. This kind of scrutiny can sometimes be as challenging as an RfA - if not worse. Some candidates ran on a platform for changes in Arbcom. Now comes the cliff-hanger of waiting for the results. 52% of the votes were cast on day 1 of the ballot. You might find this analysis of the campaign to be of interest. You are welcome to leave your thoughts on its talk page. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:17, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, you can remove things -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:11, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your response! :)) Cornerstone2.0 ( talk) 15:15, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh.. Thanks! I didn't know he/she also a sock puppet.. Cornerstone2.0 ( talk) 15:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

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)

Maps at Great Fire of London

Nikkimaria and I are both committed to a Keep at the FAR of Great Fire of London. The article has a series of maps that breach MOS:ACCIM because the burnt areas are shown in pink, and the information is only conveyed via color. Is there an easy way that you might add a different way to view the pink areas, and would you be willing to do those towards an FA save?? Thanks, Guerillero !

Let me take a look, SandyGeorgia -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 11:45, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

December songs

You answered my question best! On Beethoven's birthday. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:00, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Heya Gerda. Being the first loser thrice hurts, but it is part of life. Off to work on more content. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 22:22, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
I know other hurts, and content was always my answer ;) ... if ignore doesn't help. - I like that you had enough support! I voted only for five. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:29, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

my probably-screwed-up attempt to place an alert on a user's talk page

I was attempting to alert User:VQuakr about the sanctions on COVID-19. However, my first attempt [2] came out without the COVID-19 part. I'm not sure how subst works or what I did wrong. I then manually edited [3] the alert to put in the COVID-19 part. After that I noticed on WP:AE that the alert is supposed to be placed unmodified. In light of the stringent rules in this area, I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do now. Thanks. Adoring nanny ( talk) 20:00, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

It looks like it counts to me -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:05, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Advice needed.

I noticed that you rejected my request for pending changes reviewer. Whilst this is disappointing, I do (somewhat) understand why you did it. The policy on who can be a pending changes reviewer is a bit vague, so that I can have an idea of when would be an appropriate time to reapply, could you let me know what admins look for in a pending changes reviewer more specifically? Mako001 ( talk) 07:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

@ The Alternate Mako Please edit the mainspace more and reapply in 2-3 months -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:06, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice, cheerio. Mako001  (C)   (T) (The Alternate Mako) 02:42, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

AC/DS scope

I had a look at WP:TOPICBAN and WP:BROADLY today after reading your replies at [4] [5] because WP:ARBIPA is "authorized for all pages related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, broadly construed."

Religion does not distract from the geographical significance and since Hinduism is largely prevalent in India the case becomes clearer. For a name, at Talk:Hinduism you will find the notice that this page is under WP:AC/DS of WP:ARBIPA. "Hinduism" is concerned with each of the diffs I had cited on the report that concerned biographies of figures from India, and this is exactly why the report was easily within the scope. Aman Kumar Goel ( Talk) 00:27, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

@ Aman.kumar.goel: I still think this goes beyond WP:BROADLY -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 21:03, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Are you fine if I start a thread on WP:ARCA for clarification about this? Aman Kumar Goel ( Talk) 09:12, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
@ Aman.kumar.goel: no problems here -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 09:54, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

e.w. notice

Hello, Guerillero. Regarding this message and this other, it's been exhausting going back and forth with that user trying to make some sense, as I answered. I'm thinking if I hadn't started two long RFCs to clean the article from the puffery, it'd still be there like a fan-edited article. Such consensus, though, is not being respected. This is a summary of all the problems this year. Dealing with a fan (that misinterprets policies conveniently) is tiring and it seems other editors gave up on it.

Happy Almost New Year ! I missed getting a card out this year, and may have to aim for Valentine's instead, at the rate things are going. Have you had any thoughts on the maps at the Great Fire? Bst, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

@ SandyGeorgia: I've been thinking about it. I think the best way to fix this is to recreate them with a hashed area. It just takes quite a bit of tracing. I am working on it, slowly -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:07, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
You’re the best … just letting Nikkimaria know … SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:41, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
@ SandyGeorgia and Nikkimaria: Is this what you were thinking of? Things were quieter here than I expected. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 16:19, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
I am uncertain (in terms of the colorblind) whether the pink will show ... can the pink hashed area also have a thin (dashed or dotted) black boundary? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 17:37, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! Certainly better than what we have, although I agree a border would be helpful. Nikkimaria ( talk) 00:49, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
@ Nikkimaria & SandyGeorgia: Done and I placed them in the article. Let me know if there are any other changes that you would like. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:08, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Brilliant— you are a gem! Can the one in the lead be done also? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:07, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Sure! -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:09, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
Done -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 15:46, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
