''' Weekly Tasks '''
Hi Courcelles, you asked several of the candidates to initiate the identification process. I'm a bit confused. It doesn't appear to me - although it's hard to tell given the back-and-forth among the arbitrators and others - that anyone has been officially appointed yet (subject, of course, to identification). Also, as an aside, it looks like HJ has already had his identity confirmed<s>, although I can't tell ''when''</s>. Thanks for clarifying.--] (]) 22:04, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
* Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed ].
:The motion to appoint folks is going to carry in two more arb votes. At that point, I will confirm the appointments to the Stewards over at Meta. You will then get the flags, after identifying. So, everyone should get the paperwork done now to save people work in a day or two. ] (]) 22:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
