Garage rock article just went GA!
I've been working on a big expansion of the Garage rock article and I've got some great news--it just went GA! So, give it a glance and enjoy. Garagepunk66 (talk) 10:05, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Bean Boots
 | On 3 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bean Boots, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Bean Boots are still manufactured in Maine and are stitched by hand? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bean Boots. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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. |

Guerillero, could you put a notice on this user page that it is your alternate account? It is not obvious and more than once I almost rollbacked your comments on a ArbCom case because I thought a regular editor mistakenly posted to the case page rather than the talk page. It would be appreciated! Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:06, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- It has been added in small font beneath the picture. The talk page redirect, signature, and notice "This sock is used to keep my feet clean" should be enough. --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 22:16, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Errant decline?
I noticed that on the Beeblebrox CU restoration you put a "decline", but when I looked at the link you were listed as voting "support". I'm wondering if you meant that "decline" to go elsewhere? BMK (talk) 02:50, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- I am declining additional action to the ARCA since it is the wrong venue and is getting off track --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 02:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
My pings
Guerillero, have you been getting my pings at the GMO case? I see where a few arbs have voted to close the case while there is still unfinished business. DQ is in the process of preparing an FoF for Kingofaces which will need consensus and a proposed remedy. I certainly hope this situation is not being ignored so I'll assume GF and ask you to please verify whether or not you are aware of my pings. Atsme📞📧 17:59, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have no desire to stop the train for a FOF that may or may not come to an already late and decisive case. DS exist for a reason and DGG's alt is a fool's errand this late in the case. Amanda really needs to say it on the arb list and stop the clock if she is actually going to post a FOF in a reasonable amount of time and has the desire to get people to vote on it. --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 18:39, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- It progressed to "this late in the case" because the arbs on the case had other priorities. Involved parties were asked to resubmit evidence not that long ago, which we did and now you're saying you have no desire to stop the train? The train had already been derailed and is still sitting at the train station waiting for evidence to be properly reviewed. We did what NF requested and expected arbs to at least review the evidence we presented. Sorry for my frankness, but it just doesn't seem fair to the editors who are being TB and admonished as a result of ArbCom's partial review of the evidence...some of which had to be presented twice and twice it was ignored. Atsme📞📧 21:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have reviewed all of the evidence and have not come to the conclusion that anything else can to be done. There is no agreement in the community that tag teaming exists without an off site mailing list or something of that nature. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 21:51, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

There's always DS and requests for clarification and amendment to deal with the holes in the PD. We have new arbs coming in soon, and I can't blame the outgoing arbs for being gone already (for all practical purposes). Minor4th 23:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), Figureskatingfan (talk), and Godot13 (talk).--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

The 78.26 RFA Appreciation award |
| Thank you for the participation and support at my RFA. It is truly appreciated. I hope to be of further help around here, and if you see me doing something dumb, you know where to find me. Again, I thank you. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 01:18, 24 December 2015 (UTC) |

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
.svg){kind=logo}
I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information, and specifically to the OTRS system.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign
If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum
wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.
If you wish to stop receiving these notices, you may remove yourself from this list. Please note that doing so will not prevent you from losing OTRS rights and access after the 31 December 2015 deadline.
Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation
