== Locking the rugby world cup article ==


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
On the page for the Rugby world cup it states that "The tournament is one of the largest international sporting events in the world, surpassed in scale only by the FIFA World Cup, the Olympics,[20] and the Tour de France." This is blatantly false and highly misleading. Because you have locked the article I am not able to correct it.
Could you please either unlock the article or correct it yourself?


Hello,
== [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles]] ==


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
We need to figure out where to go next on this, so some input on where to go next would be good. Cheers, [[User:Casliber|Casliber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 02:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
:A reply by the end of the week is appreciated. [[Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Abortion_article_titles#Current_status|This]] is the applicable discussion thread. -- [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] &lt;[[User_talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]&gt; 07:48, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

:::If you need a bit more time then no problem, I'd much rather have a considered response rather than a quick one.
:::Sorry if I come across as overly aggressive on the talk page, Black Kite hasn't expressed himself well over the matter, and I felt that you guys were ignoring the problem - which clearly given your internet connection issues isn't fair of me.
:::I hope you get your internet issues sorted out properly soon - that can't be fun :(. -- [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] &lt;[[User_talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]&gt; 20:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
::::I appreciate your internet access problems but I would like to see some sort of reply to this as your next action on the project. Leaving things to dangle without resolution for three months in a state no-one likes is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Coordinators/September_2012&diff=prev&oldid=512612414 blatantly going to drive people away from the project]. Given you spent several hours this morning voting for candidates for military history coordinator, and have made further edits over the day, you clearly have had enough time online to have looked at this over the weekend - and while I accept that replying to others comments on your own candidacy is more important than this, this is clearly more important than voting for other candidates.
::::If you don't do this I will have to take the case to Arbcom and ask for sanctions against both you and Black Kite. -- [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] &lt;[[User_talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]&gt; 20:15, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
:::::And if this project paid me a salary, its members would be quite entitled to dictate how I spend my time on it. As it is, I'm a volunteer, and currently one without a job or a home, so my ability to do things that require more than a few minutes' typing is severely limited, and I have priorities beyond Wikipedia. You have my word that I will look at the abortion mess when I have time to give it the attention it needs; if that's not good enough for you, then by all means take me to ArbCom. The current committee might actually be stupid enough to sanction an editor for having a real life.

:::::Right, I've now looked at it, and I must confess, I can see no indication of what you want from me, except a scapegoat for the lack of a conclusive outcome. I made my recommendation three months ago, and I thought it was clear (or obvious) that I didn't think the closing admins should be the ones to implement that recommendation (cf. my comments on the RfC talk page). Since then, real life has intervened, and I have less time to contribute to this project at the moment than I did at the time of the RfC, which is why (assuming it was my responsibility to do so) I haven't been back to check what became of my recommendation.

The voting phase of the October 2024 administrator elections has started and continues until 23:59 31st October 2024 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase|'''Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase''']].

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
*October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
*November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections#Who can vote|who qualifies for a vote]] will have a week to use the [[m:SecurePoll|SecurePoll]] software to vote, which uses a [[secret ballot]]. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections#Who can vote|suffrage requirements]] are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the [[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024|main election page]]. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no [[WP:Bureaucrat discussion|bureaucrat discussions]] ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the [[Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections|election talk page]]. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Hello and welcome to my talk page! If you have a question, ask me. If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't, I'll find out (or one of my talk-page stalkers might know!), then we'll both have learnt something!
Admins: If one of my admin actions is clearly a mistake or is actively harming the encyclopaedia, please reverse it. Don't wait for me if I'm not around or the case is obvious.
