Hi Rcsprinter123, I wanted to apologize for yesterdays dramah, Seeing as we've never exactly gotten on with each other I shouldn't have nominated your page (nor Adams for that matter!), I was simply nominating bus related userpages.. I honestly wasn't trying to be a twat (contrary to popular belief ),
Had you nominated my crap I probably wouldn't have been a very happy bunny so it was wrong of me to nominate yours and I apologise for that. We all make mistakes unfortunately.
Anyway I'd imagine you're aware but you can go to WP:REFUND so not all's bad I guess :)
Anyway Thanks & Happy editing. –Davey2010^Talk 14:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

[31] With your opposition to proposal F, are you saying that you can't be trusted with the unbundled tools you've already got? Peter James (talk) 21:22, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I was saying 'all or nothing' in regard to the current administrator toolset (block, delete, protect etc) which require a competent individual able to operate all of those to be an effective administrator. The unbundled tools such as rollback don't need such a high level of trust, as they can be removed easily, whereas a desysopping is comparatively difficult. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (state) 21:53, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Block, delete and protect will probably always require trust from the community, with an RFA or similar process, but there are many more rights not fully unbundled (the list is at Special:ListGroupRights), and some are already granted to non-administrators in specific groups (which can be removed easily) - such as bots or template editors - but could be made more widely available. Even the rights that require RFA could be requested separately, so an editor who is only requesting the rights necessary for requested moves can apply for those, consistent with the principle of least privilege, and (as I've already mentioned in the discussion) an editor could have reported many vandals for administrator attention but fail RFA because of inclusionism or deletionism at AFD, is that editor not to be trusted with the right to block? Peter James (talk) 22:38, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes. In real life, you wouldn't employ a manager and say "but don't do X and Y", you expect them to be able to do the whole job. Rcsprinter¹²³ (reason) 23:05, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia administrators are not managers, and instead of 1,329 managers (many of whom are absent most of the time) with rights many will never need and no specific roles assigned to them, a business would probably employ specialists in different roles, each with the necessary privileges. Peter James (talk) 23:37, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - Finals/Wrap-Up The second-ever GA Cup is now over! The competition officially ended Thursday. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to our finalists. The winner of the 2nd GA Cup is Zwerg Nase! He earned 408 points, over 100 points more than he earned in all previous rounds. He tied with our second-place winner, Sturmvogel 66 with 367 points, in number of articles reviewed (24), and they earned almost the same points for reviewing articles that were in the queue the longest (Zwerg with 322, Sturmvogel with 326). Basically, they tied in points, but what made the different for Zwerg was the advantage he had in reviewing longer articles. It seems that the rule change of earning more realistic points for longer articles made a difference. All of our contestants should be proud of the work they were able to accomplish through the GA Cup. Congrats to these worthy opponents! Our third and fourth place winners, Johanna and Tomandjerry211, also ran a close race, with 167 points and 147 points respectfully. We had one withdrawal; we found it interesting that competitors dropped out in Round 2 and 3 as well. One of the original judges and co-creator of this competition, User:Dom497 stepped down as judge during Round 3; as stated previously, we will miss his input and wish him the best. The judges were pleased with our results, even though fewer users competed this time compared to our inaugural competition. We recognize that this might be due to holding the competition during the summer months. We intend on looking more closely when we should conduct this contest, as well as other aspects of the GA Cup. We've set up a feedback page for everyone's input about how we should conduct the contest and what rule changes should be made. If you have any ideas about how we can improve things, please visit it and give us your input. Again, thanks to all and congratulations to our winners! Please stay tuned for the start of GA Cup #3. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo.

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 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. 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. 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 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:

• Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points) wins the prize for first place and the FP prize for 330 featured pictures in the final round.
• Cwmhiraeth (submissions) wins the prize for second place and the DYK prize for 160 did you knows in the final round (310 in all rounds).
• Cas Liber (submissions) wins the prize for third place and the FA prize for 26 featured articles in all rounds.
• West Virginian (submissions) wins the prize for fourth place
• Calvin999 (submissions) wins a final 8 prize.
• Rationalobserver (submissions) wins a final 8 prize.
• Harrias (submissions) wins a final 8 prize and the FL prize for 11 featured lists.
• Rodw (submissions) wins the most prizes: a final 8 prize, the GA prize for 41 good articles, and the topic prize for a 13-article good topic and an 8-article featured topic, both in round 3.
• ThaddeusB (submissions) wins the news prize for the most news articles in round 3.

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!

Can I ask on what grounds according to WP:RELIST you have re-listed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Bickley (UKIP)? The consensus seems pretty clear to me. AusLondonder (talk) 20:12, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

There are a number of !votes to keep, with arguments to counter the deletion camp. I can see it is likely to be "delete" overall, but until it is absolutely determined, another week of discussion while relisted can't hurt. The more people have a chance to comment, the more accurate the consensus will be, right? Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (babble) 20:46, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

There are a few keep votes, but either accusing us all of some huge anti-UKIP conspiracy, and/or citing the fact that the Labour candidate in a forthcoming election has a page so therefore his UKIP opponent should as well. I note that none of these people are arguing that any of the other candidates should have an article - only Bickley. This is not based on any policy at all. The majority of the delete votes have cited policy requirements of politician articles. I am puzzled as to why this discussion should have been relisted given there are other AfDs started at the same time with far fewer contributors that have still been closed in one direction or the other. Frinton100 (talk) 21:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

PS. Also worth pointing out that delete/redirect outnumbers keep by about 3 to 1 with 14 votes cast.

I can't help wondering whether you either aren't happy with the consensus or want him to have an article for longer during the election period. Correct me if I'm wrong. AusLondonder (talk) 15:01, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

My personal preference for the outcome of this AfD has nothing to do with it. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (notify) 15:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your input on that GAN. I have decided to close it as not listed as I feel the situation there is problematic for several reasons, including that the article itself does not meet GA criteria. A note on your nomination. Anyone can nominate an article they feel meets the GA criteria, and I support that principle, and have taken on board GANs even from banned or blocked users. My view is it is the article we are reviewing, not the contributors or nominators. Sometimes, though, a nomination from someone not familiar with an article can result - as in this case - in a quick fail as there are issues which they may not be aware. This is not a reflection on you, and I don't want you to feel that you shouldn't nominate articles unless you are a significant contributor. Please do continue to seek out articles you feel are decent, and nominate them. However, I would say that it helps to have done a few reviews so you can get to closer grip with the requirements. If you haven't done any GA reviews, and would like some experience (and there is a huge backlog at WP:GAN), I'd be more than happy to walk you through a review. Let me know if you're interested. Regards SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 18:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

SilkTork: I have actually done several reviews, but thanks all the same for the advice and the review. I had thought that the article was close to meeting the criteria but you found, in your wisdom, that it wasn't, which is OK. Rcsprinter¹²³ (jaw) 19:43, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rcsprinter123, I see that you are currently replacing a series of maps at Vermont towns.

Hi: you nominated Larry Sanders (Green Party) for deletion, I think. All responses seem to have been 'keep': could you please consider WP:Speedy keep? Thanks DrArsenal (talk) 00:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

The RfA has run its seven days now, so is due for closure soon anyway; as you say, it will be to keep. I would not be able to make the close personally due to being "involved" as its nominator, aside from a withdrawal close. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (parlez) 09:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.
