Hi-I expanded the articles about A. H. Ziegler, Bob Ziegler, and Norman R. Walker who served in the Alaska Territorial Legislator. They were redirects. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

:I corrected the middle names of the Zieglers. And I found the roster of Alaska Territorial and State Legislators and correct the year that Norman Walker served in the Alaska Territorial Legislature. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 01:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi-I came across an article about Elwood Bruner. He served in the California State Assembly and then moved to Nome, Alaska where he practiced law and served in the Alaska Territorial Senate until his death. Okay-I want to encourage and thank you; you do excellent work with Wikipedia especially with Alaska. Many thanks for your work. RFD (talk) 21:57, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

I was looking at the page and checked the history. This is something I don't understand. There's an entry as if in an infobox, but it doesn't visibly show in the article. It indicates that Jake died in Austin, TX, two years ago. I'm not sure how he'd feel about that. The Mark Twain quote comes to mind. Activist (talk) 15:14, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Jake is very much alive, and "Patrice" is actually spelled correctly. She is otherwise known as "Sissy" Parker, married to Bill Parker. As usual, you do great work and thanks much. Activist (talk) 10:08, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Also checking out the top of your page and noticed the "baited breath." Found this: "The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance that it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath”." I also wondered about "the town you've never heard of with three people," and thought it might be Chicken, which I've transversed en route to Eagle. Wikipedia says census 2010 was 7 people.

Hi-I started an article on a former Alaska legislator Bob Bettisworth who died recently. You may want to look at it. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 12:51, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

:I am back-the Governor of Alaska Bill Walker ordered the flags in Alaska to lower at half mast. According to the press release Bettisworth in the Alaska Legislature in 1957-1958 and 1981-1985. I checked the 100 years Alaska Legislature website and Bob Bettisworth served in the legislature from 1979-1984 which his obituary also stated. Governor Bill Walker's press release was wrong regarding the years Bob Bettisworth served in the Alaska Legislature. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 14:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Just politely wondering here, you are a pretty active editor on Alaska issues. Instead of simply adding improvement templates to the new page Anchorage Fire Department, why not jump in and make some good faith, positive additions and changes to the article?

Hello RadioKAOS,

Drjamesphillips came in to the Wikipedia IRC help chat, regarding the talk page message you left. He felt it was out of proportion, and I think I agree. Drjamesphillips is a new user, unfamiliar with the guidelines about overlap between categories and articles, and they appear to have meant well. Your objection to the PROD, though the reasons were valid, was I feel a bit too harsh in the wording, and seems to have hurt and discouraged Drjamesphillips.

Hi, there. You're a more accomplished Wikipedia editor than I, and have far greater knowledge of Alaskana. I noticed that Libby Roderick has a Wikipedia article, but her dad doesn't, though he's mentioned in a few Wikipedia articles.

Hi, again.

I was editing some AK politicians pages and was trying to sort out Senate Districts. I found Hollis French's article to be in need of a great deal of work and cleaned it up as best I could, being a bit tight for time. I found that Ellis, French and Gardner were all listed simultaneously as minority leader. Then I went to Johnny Ellis' article and found that an editor had inserted his birth name as "Dennis William Egan." I expect the editor was rushing and on 23 March inserted that info. I went to his or her contribution page, and found that maybe 3,000 edits had been made subsequently, almost all of them regarding elected politicians from around the world or actors on the world stage (i.e. Victoria Nuland). A few of those edits followed yours that you made to Andy Josephson's article. I wonder if you could take a look at the edits made by him or her to see if they're correct? I had changed Johnny's supposed birth name to Johnny Ellis, but I'll go back and remove that rather than research it to make sure that's correct. Certainly, he's not Bill Egan's son with the same name by another mother. Thanks once again for all your great Alaskana work. Activist (talk) 07:54, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Well, you've been quiet so long I was quite surprised to get this much of a response. I figured you were probably busy as hell or burned out. Other than getting one, how does the PFD affect your life? I notice it's over $2,000 once again.

Thanks for getting back to me. As usual, you're very helpful. I couldn't imagine how all that crap about French stayed on his (or for anyone's) article for so long... I was just appalled when I read it. I left the business about him claiming to be a marine, because I had no knowledge of the matter at all. I didn't know about the tenure issue. I knew that Johnny had served for quite some time, in the House before the Senate. I was surprised his article was so scanty. I also was aware that Lyman had served for a long time, but didn't recall how long. I knew of Hohman only by rep and through mutual (now long dead) friends, who liked him a lot and were distressed by his demise. When I started poking around in the AK legislators articles, and saw the succession for Johnny's seat, I was surprised not to see an article for Pat Pourchot, given his long and interesting career. Now Ogan, he was forgettable IMHO. I think a Vic Fischer article would be warranted too, but I'm hardly the one to do it. I wonder if Charles Wolforth edits Wikipedia? I don't know if what you're referring to is my comments on CA-23's talk page, but that's quite a district, which has wandered around central California like Moses in the desert. Keeping track of the incumbents from decades ago seems like a huge waste of time and server space. Activist (talk) 10:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

So I recently changed Mallott's party affiliation in Template:Current Alaska statewide political officials to Democratic from Independent. You reverted this edit claiming that sources indicated he was a Democrat. Does this source that indicates he did not change his party registration to "undeclared" in order to run as an Independent suffice?

http://www.adn.com/article/20140901/walker-mallott-join-forces-governors-race He is also listed on the Alaska Democratic Party's website (http://www.alaskademocrats.org/elected-officials/) though this he is listed along with Independent Governor Bill Walker.

Hello, I've been trying my best to clean up the article, but it's tough to find good sources. I have some books, but those aren't always specific on years. I'm waiting for the Dave Meltzer bio that should be coming out soon. I've also added a bit about his days in Atlanta. Is there anything you could add?

Hi, once more. I had looked at the nominations for Alaska people article and thought I should contribute. I contemplated authoring an article on Jim Duncan, but stopped at Jerry Ward's, which was still a stub, after many years, and thought it deserved similar attention. I did a lot of work on it and removed the "stub" notice. If you could take a look, and see if I got it right, I'd appreciate. I won't have time to get to Duncan this year, but maybe next, unless you'd like to do it. Have a merry... Activist (talk) 10:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

You have been mislead by Good olfactory's false accusations. The Germany issue is a red herring that has no relevance to Washington, DC. The District of Columbia existed in no way, shape, means or form in 1789. The only reason the Germany categories have some chance of surviving is because there was an idea of Germany before 1871. There was not any idea of Washington DC before 1790, and it was not actually created until after that date. In 1789 no one envisioned it, and actions in Georgetown were not in it. His ideas lead to placing Mosques built in 1789 as in Israel or actions done in the Indus Valley in 1789 as in Pakistan, although the person who invented that name would not be born for nearly a century. He uses one iffy issue, Germany, to try and falsely influence other places where it is 100% clear that there is no workable way to retroactively impose the modern name on the past.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:25, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

:{{ping|Johnpacklambert}}, this is a bit pointless carrying on this debate away from the discussion, but I think it would be helpful if you were more careful about the assumptions you make. User:RadioKAOS made their comments in the discussion before "Germany" was mentioned either by me or by anyone else, so it's impossible that they were misled by the issue at the time the comments were made.

The links added do not link to article on Wikipedia, this therefor means the individuals do not have pages on Wikipedia, and are currently not notable enough to be on wikipedia. If the individual can have their notability established, please go ahead and do so. Otherwise, adding red links is not a useful or helpful addition to Wikipedia. Also only adding those individuals to be linked in selective, and a POV, as it is a judgement call and not a reasoned basis as to why these and not the others being linked. There should be no red links in any articles, as the links do not work. Can you therefor please remove the red links that were added. Sport and politics (talk) 20:43, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

There is a rule that articles in draft space which have an {{tl|AfC submission}} tag may be deleted if they have not been touched for more than six months. Unfortunately there is no rule for articles in that space without the tag but I think that the same rule should apply. I have put in User:RadioKAOS/stale drafts a list of yours - there may be others where you were not the last person to edit. (In fact having created it, I realise that list is small beer compared to the stuff in your user space.)

Another view is that keeping drafts without submitting could be considered to be using Wikipedia as a free host.

I hasten to say that in two respects you are not as bad as the two worst offenders I have seen: the number of articles is much smaller and you seem willing to discuss matters in a calm manner. Nevertheless I would like you to review your drafts and either submit them for mainspace or copy them off to your own machine. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:48, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Crittenden is by far the most significant Alaskan architect I have yet to write about. It seems more difficult to find projects of his than those of other practitioners, despite his influence. I do much of my research through Google Books, whose scans are often off. The name "Crittenden" is more often mixed up than "Foss" or "Manley". But, I do have a decent list going, and when I can get my hands on some solid biographical information, an article on him should be forthcoming.

In the lower 48, lots of ordinary things such as marriage licenses, property transfers, restaurant inspections by health departments, etc. are routinely handled by counties. Here in Virginia, all the non-county areas are cities, which are constitutionally required to perform such duties themselves or contract out with adjacent counties to do it, and I suppose the same is true in Baltimore, St. Louis, and Carson City, the other three independent cities nationwide. But what about in unincorporated places in the Unorganized Borough? Say you move to Tok and want to buy a house and get married. Do you have to phone some office in Juneau to get this stuff done?

The list currently has 119 names, of which 12 have articles, and 107 neither have articles, nor any references whatsoever (let alone references meeting WP:BIO i.e including "significant coverage", which is the requirement for such lists)
On 10 June 2017 I added the "alumni people" template to that article and explained the rules/guidelines for stand-alone lists on the talk page. I also proposed removing all names not complying with Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and suggested allowing 2 months before so doing. It is now nearly 4 months later, and I propose carrying this out shortly.
The purpose of this post is to inform you of this, in case you wish to add references, before I delete 107/119 names. - Arjayay (talk) 09:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi i noticed your adding a "relocated buildings" category to the Pioneer School House building article, an article which did not mention any relocation, and I revised the article to cover its moving, based on NRHP document. Are you working from some list/source of relocated buildings? There's [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alaska_Native_Medical_Center&diff=prev&oldid=825730382 this similar edit by you] of the Alaska Native Medical Center, an article which mentions a relocation of the hospital programs and patients and staff to a different building but not any moving of a building. I wonder whether there is an unmentioned move of a building, or if you are using the term "relocated" differently? --Doncram (talk) 03:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Dear RadioKAOS. I thought I'd say hello and tell you how refreshing your comments are regarding pro wrestling. It's a little depressing (but not surprising) to see only one or two Wikipedians are interested in the "Territory-era". As an amateur researcher, I too share your feelings about the questionable research methods used when articles are proposed/nominated for deletion. For example, it took me five minutes to find a magazine article on Kangaroo Kennedy when it was deleted a few years ago. Lee Wyckoff, a rival of Everett Marshall during the 1930s, is another that caught my eye. I wonder if anyone bothered to search under the alternate spelling of "Wycoff"? Anyway, I appreciate your time. Sincerely, a fellow wrestling fan. 72.74.198.247 (talk) 08:25, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

-------------------------

awaits your pics... :) I belatedly saw your comment at User:Beeblebrox's Talk page, mentioning The Wireless Station. It is nice to see your familiar complaining about NRHP over-coverage relative to more important stuff in Alaska. :) Hope you are well. --Doncram (talk) 23:01, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey, I think you were referring to me with statement that "The nominator appears to lack understanding of the fact that encyclopedic content should cater to a general audience, not to the whims of active editors here to push their favorite topics". I don't get what you mean by that. In general I have a sense that you don't like short stub NRHP articles, and you might blame me for creating some in Alaska or elsewhere, though I believe my contributions in Alaska NRHP articles have been good (e.g. I always have included the good NRHP document as a source and should have always developed some substantial content). But your comment was within Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/South Portland Historic District, where I was objecting to the creation of a too-short-in-my view article. I would think you would agree with me there. If you care to explain, I don't mind hearing your unvarnished thoughts. But really, I do think the development of NRHP articles in Alaska is generally good, and has in general supported other Alaska coverage.

About the NRHP-listed Andrew Berg Cabin built in 1902, about which you commented, please see Talk:Andrew Berg Cabin. By the way, is there or should there be an article about the non-NRHP visitor center or museum where the 1935 cabin is now located? I currently think the 1935 cabin and other Andrew Berg cabins should be covered in the Andrew Berg article, with only the 1902 NRHP-listed one split out. Do comment there. --Doncram (talk) 01:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

: Is there any rhyme or reason to this? RadioKAOS criticizes everyone, but when there are good faith and well enunciated critiques of him, utter silence. No response of any kind. It's as though any criticism is beneath any response from him. Wikipedia doesn't need this type of arrogance among its editors. I would be happy to collaborate with him. I've complimented him several times. I've publically thanked him for edits. And what do I get in return? Constant and vigorous criticism. He follows my every post, even responding on the pages of editors - and in one case, an admin - who I merely let know about a new article. RadioKAOS abused the revert tool, when he and I had a simple disagreement about how to rate an articles importance, and he suggested I should have reviewed numerous years of discussion on the related WikiProject. All of this drama, and abuse of the revert tool, over me rating an article mid importance, and he thought it should be high? I'm not sure where his intellectual arrogance comes from. I try to act the opposite. I make mistakes, but I always assume editors act in good faith. With RadioKAOS, who refuses to acknowledge any mistakes, or any other point of view, it's difficult. If he can't show any more respect than he currently does to other editors, than he needs a long timeout from Wikipedia. I don't say that lightly. Juneau Mike (talk) 00:06, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

A community called Bird is mentioned in a couple articles. But all I could find was Bird Creek. Is it connected in some way with the area I added as a see also? Thanks for any insights. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:10, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

:{{tps}} Late reply, but I would also try looking for resources on Bird Point. This place very much does exist, but I'm fairly certain it is entirely within the Municipality of Anchorage. I was in a car accident in this area a few years back and my trashed truck was towed into Bird. Or Bird Creek, or Bird Point... Pretty much all the same please I believe. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:36, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The usual formula has been that state projects' importance levels are normally one level lower than the road projects' importance. In that case, the road projects' importance levels were set too high, and I just adjusted the others per the usual formula. It's fine to disagree, but it would be nice if you wouldn't make comments about editors in edit summaries in the future. In short, comment about edits, not editors.

Thank you for your comment. I do skimmed through the DYK articles and make edits as need be. I would start articles to supplement information mentioned in the DYK articles. The Eileen MacLean article was started; Eileen MacLean was an Alaska state legislator and therefore was notable. I also have started articles about unincorporated communities involving notable people were born and lived in the communities. As for the Tara Sweeney article; her mother Eileen MacLean was mentioned and I thought an article was needed. The Eileen MacLean article was not a coatrack article. I would encouraged you to express your concerns about the DYK articles to the DYK talk page. If you feel the DYK section needs to be revised or discontinued then please express your concerns and comments to the DYK page. Thank you-RFD (talk) 10:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

You should know that the risk of deletion in draft space does concern me.

Know that I also wrote my answer to question 15 with your feedback in mind. I say this not to defend myself but to let you know I take your feedback seriously, am continuing to think about it, and will think about it as I do new page patrol going forward.

Hi RadioKAOS. I recently [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&oldid=933230293 posted an article] on Wikipedia:Sandbox about George Cannon's "Superstars of Wrestling" program which was nationally syndicated in Canada (and parts of the U.S.) during the 1970s and early 80s. Would you consider taking a look at it if you have time? I only know of two or three other Wikipedians with an interest in Territory-era wrestling and I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions you could give me. The show isn't very well documented and the article doesn't have as many print sources as I would like. By the way, I don't suppose you ever saw the show while living in Alaska? The show aired in Vancouver on CKVU although I'm not sure how far the signal travelled. The station in Windsor, for example, was powerful enough to reach Toledo, Ohio in the late 1970s.

Your edit summary here[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carl_Huntington&oldid=prev&diff=942997789] on Carl Huntington was uncivil and lacked AGF.

I am not stalking you. I am cleaning up Special:WantedCategories. I hadn't noticed that your edits featured highly on that list, but if they do that's solely because you leave a lot of pages in non-existent categories, contrary to WP:REDNOT.

In this case I had removed :Category:Koyukon people because it doesn't exist. In any case, there is no other mention on the page of "Koyukon", so even if the category existed, it should have been removed per WP:CATVER.

Hi there. Thanks for your attention to detail. The [https://www.ncsl.org/research/redistricting/election-dates-for-legislators-governors-who-will-do-redistricting.aspx source] states: "the legislature draws congressional lines." So I think that means the Alaska state legislators elected in 2020 could impact congressional redistricting. -- M2545 (talk) 18:01, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

:{{Ping|M2545}} I looked over that source again. While that particular page implies a role by the legislature, it contains a link to [https://www.ncsl.org/research/redistricting/2009-redistricting-commissions-table.aspx a sister page] on the same site which correctly refers to the redistricting board and its role. That page refers to Article VI, § 8 of the state constitution, which is found [https://ltgov.alaska.gov/information/alaskas-constitution here]. A web search for "alaska redistricting board" produced a series of high-quality hits which affirm all of the above. [https://redistricting.lls.edu/states-AK.php This] is representative, though it hasn't been updated to reflect the current cycle.

:It's the overall history which may be lacking, typical of what Google and the like will feed you. In Alaska, the legislature has never had a role. Prior to the 1998 amendments, redistricting power was held solely by the governor, who relied upon an advisory board. It was never highly politicized at first. That changed first through intervention by the feds with Reynolds v. Sims and the Voting Rights Act, then later through intervention by the state Supreme Court. Following a slew of court cases, there was already talk of overhauling the system by the time of the second governorship of Wally Hickel. His choice of Tuckerman Babcock to manage the board was controversial enough to perhaps influence enough legislators to favor offering those amendments to voters.

:Congressional redistricting is irrelevant in Alaska. Montana lost its second House seat after the 1990 Census and that state has half again as many residents as Alaska. In other words, it'll take a long time or will require drastic circumstances before a second House seat is even a thought. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 19:54, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

:It might take some searching to find a definitive source explaining pre-1998 redistricting. [https://law.justia.com/cases/alaska/supreme-court/1966/731-1.html This] is the first major redistricting-related court case in Alaska and covers a lot of that ground.

I'm going to look around so I have a better understanding of the taxononic business - this sort of lumping happens from time to time, but I can't tell if it's real yet, and in any case we don't need to knee-jerk change the common names when there's a perfectly good redirect, assuming the taxonomy is valid. But I'll do that when I have a little time, have eaten, etc. so as not to be hasty. My first reaction was to revert all, which might just compound the apparent error. I'll also ask Primefac.

"If you expect me to contribute the photo(s) you requested, you should knock off this WP:OWN bullshit. This is a photo of the place in question. Why are so many people around here obsessed with style over substance?"

I requested a photo of the cathedral. I did not request a photo of people standing in the cathedral where you cannot see the cathedral. The article is not about the people in the photo or the event. You cannot be so dense as to think they are the same thing. Common sense dictates that the photo in the infobox should be a photo of the place the page is about. Instead there is a photo of three people who are not directly associated with the place (the archbishop is now in Seattle). If you cannot provide what was requested, fine. There was no expectation that you would, it was simply a request because you uploaded a photo of another Anchorage church. There are several other Wikipedia pages across various languages that could use a photo of the cathedral. I thought you might be able to help so I reached out to you.

:{{Ping|Johnuniq}} Spare me the bullshit. This was not a "nonsensical attack". This was an observation of long-term problematic editing behavior. It's plainly obvious that the community is content to excuse it away because it's being done under color of adminship. Every single time I've attempted to intervene, Liz's default response amounts to pointless argumentation. The last problematic deletion to come across my watchlist was of a valid cross-namespace redirect (an entry which began as a draft and was subsequently published in article space) deleted under false claim of G13. Most of the others I've observed were of maintenance and project categories because they were empty, ignoring that such categories are occasionally empty by their nature and are tagged as such through use of a template. If you or any other admin has the fortitude to address these problems, please feel free to get back to me for any information you may need, as I'm sure I could come up with a laundry list of damage done to this project through this behavior. Otherwise, I'm very busy these days with other projects and with paying work and need to spend my limited time on here engaging in more productive pursuits.

Regarding your edit summary comments at Alaska Women's Hall of Fame, "Partially correcting the primary maintainer's attempt to build this list as a walled garden. I have plenty of free-content images I could contribute, but it's pretty pointless given the way this has been curated thus far".

Believe me, I would be thrilled to have you take over and do this for Alaska - or any other such list on Wikipedia. And do it however you think it should be done. I have no objections at all. About once a year, I go through the women's halls of fame on Wikipedia and update if no one else has.

Hi RadioKAOS. I noticed your message on Talk:NWA Hollywood Wrestling and thought you might be interested to know someone created an article on the original Jules Strongbow at Draft:John Bilbo (wrestler). I've done a bit of work on it, and I'd say he's a very notable figure in pro wrestling history, but thought someone who knows what they're doing should take a look. From what I know, Strongbow was tied in with the California Combine for a long time, particularly the Eatons and Hugh Nichols.

Hello

can you please take a look at the edits from the user Czello to all the WWE attendance figures for wrestlemanias that have many sources and different numbers everywhere like Wrestlemania 3 page without,he said got consensus when there was clearly an opposition including you and me and other users,all i’m asking from him to put a note that those figures are disputed not to remove them completely

putting a dave meltzer number like 78K for wrestlemania 3 as a fact and not even disputed doesn’t make sense By the way it was well known around 2007, users started to go back and forth editing the WM 3 article to reflect the two conflicting figures. It got bad enough that the event’s entry is listed as one of the site’s “lamest edit wars,” and it has been reverted back like it was for years and a disputed note was put for the pagehttps://www.newspapers.com/article/18111087/90000_to_attend_wrestlemania_gannett/

https://www.newspapers.com/article/18110973/pro_wrestling_cashing_in_with/

https://www.newspapers.com/article/18110397/column_mentions_88000/

from 85K to 88K to 93K

Wrestlemania 32,dave meltzer himself changed his ’source’ many times about this he once repored it was 94K and 97Khttps://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/716892368188780548?

https://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/717104250149425154

https://tjrwrestling.net/news/report-actual-wrestlemania-32-attendance-number-still-breaks-old-record/

All those numbers are disputed,no number is exactly real

i think we should put the common attendance figure which is on 99,99% in websites and put a note that it is disputed not the other way around

he said there was no opposition to what he is doing when it clearly is

please follow this issue and i’m a big fan of that user but his timing of doing all of this before AEW ALL in wembley is so suspicious like you mention here on this talk page on wikiproject,i hope you continue the discussion here:

:{{Reply to|Arbitrarily0}} The Catholic Anchor was the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Anchorage, so it absolutely fails any definition of a third-party source. When the current archdiocese was created several years ago, they created a new official newspaper and scrubbed any references to former publications. Therefore, Google won't feed you low-hanging fruit, but you'll still find mentions of the Anchor as such. Considering that the article on Holy Family was renamed at a time when the ONLY reference to that name was the parish's Facebook page, I believe our coverage of the Catholic Church deserves more scrutiny than it's been given.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by {{noping|Barkeep49}} and {{noping|Usedtobecool}}, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by {{noping|SilkTork}}, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by {{noping|Reaper Eternal}}, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by {{noping|City of Silver}}, {{u|Ritchie333}}, and {{u|HouseBlaster}}, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by {{noping|Novem Lingaue}}, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by {{noping|Kusma}}, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by {{noping|WereSpielChequers}}, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

• Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
• Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
• Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
• Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
• Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
• Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
• Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
• Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

:Thanks for replying there, but I don't believe you actually answered the question being asked. We need to know whether you're opposing just the national monuments nominations, or also the national forest nominations. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:11, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

::@RadioKAOS, I've pinged you four times at WP:CFDS asking you to clarify this, and this is the second time I'm bringing this up here. Can you PLEASE just tell us whether you're ONLY objecting to renaming of the national monument categories, or are you also objecting to the national forest category and other national renamings as well? It's been a bit over two weeks now waiting on your answer and this is rather frustrating when trying to figure out whether these categories are to be processed or sent to CFD.

Hello. I am working on creating an article about former Alaska legislator Frank R. Ferguson, and I noticed you had included some interesting biographical information about him in the description of this file, which you uploaded in 2016. As the information I can find about Frank Ferguson is rather sparse, especially where his early life is concerned, I was hoping you would be able to share where you got your information. Thank you for your time. Sipik06 (talk) 00:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing!

The only image of Stu Hart on his Commons category is of [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baby_stu_hart.png him as a baby], the other image is of his parents. I don't think that makes for a reasonable replacement to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wrestler_Stu_Hart_wearing_an_amateur_wrestling_championship_belt,_sometime_between_1933_and_1936.jpg this file]. ★Trekker (talk) 16:21, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

:{{Replyto|StarTrekker}} Your desire or anyone else's desire to make an article look a certain way does not supersede the high bar that exists for the inclusion of non-free content. For that matter, the cessation of proactive enforcement of that high bar doesn't give other editors a pass. either. Between :File:Wrestler Stu Hart wearing an amateur wrestling championship belt, sometime between 1933 and 1936.jpg and :File:Stu Hart circa 2001.jpg, unless sourced critical commentary accompanies its inclusion, having both in the article means that one is purely decorative. Since the latter file was added without a fair use rationale specific to the article, removing it was a no-brainer. That leaves the former file. It appears in the thumbnail included when Google returns predictive search results. If that's because of its presence in the Wikipedia infobox, that would be a real problem copyright-wise. That's far beyond the scope of this discussion, however. Very relevant to this discussion is the outcome of a pair of deletion requests on Commons. It was revealed that many hundreds of wrestling magazines are in the public domain, with many of them hosted at Internet Archive. I've left comments at WT:PW multiple times describing the process at various points in time. Once again, the inclusion of non-free content is supposed to be subject to a high bar, irrespective of enforcement. For editors to ignore all that and continue to pick the lower-hanging fruit is indefensible and reprehensible. You're not exhausting all opportunities to find free content, rather you're scavenging the easiest stuff you find on the web and hoping you don't get called out on it.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Begich (author) (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
