Disambiguation link notification for January 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited James Baldwin, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Great Migration and Wedlock. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Your RfA

I have closed your RfA per WP:SNOW, since it was apparent it was not going to pass. I feel that this was the right choice and allowed by the RfA page, but if you want it to be reopened, you are free to request a bureaucrat to review my action at WP:BN. All the best.

TonyBallioni, I was traveling and did not have access to the internet, but unlikely to have made a difference; it was for the best, more a coup de grâce. Thank you. ceradon 04:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I would add that I hope that this outcome doesn't discourage you from continuing to contribute. The majority of the comments cast did not take issue with your conduct, merely the time period. I do hope you consider re-applying in future, once at least a year of activity/contributing has passed. That would nullify most of the opposes that were left. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:31, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I think what sticks in my craw about this is not that the RfA crashed and burned so quickly (those opposing are perfectly entitled to state whatever view they like) but from my viewpoint, it seems inconsistent as we've had cases where "legacy admins" who passed in 2005 (when standards really were different) take time off and come back and make a total pigs ear of things, or gradually become out of alignment with accepted practice and yet it's impossible to desysop them without a large amount of discussion and drama first (eg: Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RHaworth). Stick to writing content for the minute, it's what we're all supposed to be here for. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:19, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I would support a fourth RfA from you, in about a year or so. I like your humility. Please let me know if you would like to collaborate on any American Civil War topics. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 00:20, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

bot cleanups

Hello Ceradon, we're going through and cleaning up some very old bot stuff (Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard#Long_inactives_but_not_outside_of_policy) and your bot User:CeraBot is on the list. This is not your active bot User:Cerabot~enwiki. Is there any reason you still need a bot flag on the old bot account? Please ping me on a reply here, or reply at the discussion above. Thank you! — xaosflux ^Talk 14:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
