This is Extraordinary Writ's talk page, where you can send him messages and comments.
Archives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11Auto-archiving period: 14 days 

By far the funniest and most clever Misplaced Pages page I randomly stumbled on. Kudos. The fish genuinely made me laugh out loud — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumtimz I B Learnin (talk • contribs) 07:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Italia in Comune

Why did you straightaway close the discussion at Talk:Italia in Comune#Requested move 1 September 2021 as Move. I relisted the discussion at 02:36, 20 September 2021 (UTC), and you closed this as Move at 04:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC, when no one participated after the relist. Neel.arunabh (talk) 21:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

I think I'll comment at the move review. For future reference, the usual courtesy is to wait for a response: filing a move review six minutes after your inquiry doesn't come across as very friendly. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Schneiderman v. United States

On 10 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Schneiderman v. United States, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a Communist Party official was represented in Schneiderman v. United States by a previous Republican nominee for president? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Schneiderman v. United States. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Schneiderman v. United States), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

RfA 2021 review update

Thanks so much for participating in Phase 1 of the RfA 2021 review. 8 out of the 21 issues discussed were found to have consensus. Thanks to our closers of Phase 1, Primefac and Wugapodes.

The following had consensus support of participating editors:

  1. Corrosive RfA atmosphere
    The atmosphere at RfA is deeply unpleasant. This makes it so fewer candidates wish to run and also means that some members of our community don't comment/vote.
  2. Level of scrutiny
    Many editors believe it would be unpleasant to have so much attention focused on them. This includes being indirectly a part of watchlists and editors going through your edit history with the chance that some event, possibly a relatively trivial event, becomes the focus of editor discussion for up to a week.
  3. Standards needed to pass keep rising
    It used to be far easier to pass RfA however the standards necessary to pass have continued to rise such that only "perfect" candidates will pass now.
  4. Too few candidates
    There are too few candidates. This not only limits the number of new admin we get but also makes it harder to identify other RfA issues because we have such a small sample size.
  5. "No need for the tools" is a poor reason as we can find work for new admins

The following issues had a rough consensus of support from editors:

  1. Lifetime tenure (high stakes atmosphere)
    Because RfA carries with it lifetime tenure, granting any given editor sysop feels incredibly important. This creates a risk adverse and high stakes atmosphere.
  2. Admin permissions and unbundling
    There is a large gap between the permissions an editor can obtain and the admin toolset. This brings increased scrutiny for RFA candidates, as editors evaluate their feasibility in lots of areas.
  3. RfA should not be the only road to adminship
    Right now, RfA is the only way we can get new admins, but it doesn't have to be.

Please consider joining the brainstorming which will last for the next 1-2 weeks. This will be followed by Phase 2, a 30 day discussion to consider solutions to the problems identified in Phase 1.

There are 2 future mailings planned. One when Phase 2 opens and one with the results of Phase 2. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
