ACC
Hello, I hear that there's an ACC backlog and I'd be happy to help clear it out a bit. My username was Ajraddatz on the tool, not sure what the user id was. I've signed the access to nonpublic data agreement (here). Thanks, -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:15, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , cheers, I've re-activated your account. I've also left a (longer than I remember!) template on your talk with all the useful things like the mailing list and IRC etc. stwalkerster (talk) 20:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll give it a read. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you :) -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 20:31, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, do you want your ACC flag back? - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 20:33, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ajr is good I think... though, if he wants to take me up on my offer to give him template editor, I could include ACC for the same bargain price. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No thanks, I've got enough flags for the moment :-) -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:45, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Generally we do give stewards +accountcreator locally anyway, as it saves questions later about them possibly using steward rights on enwiki - or at least that's the excuse -revi gave me a while ago :) stwalkerster (talk) 20:47, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, some people get quite hung up on bureaucracy... I don't intend on spam creating too many accounts for the moment, so I should be good with 6 a day, but if I start going consistently over that then I can request the local flag. Or wait for the hoards to oppose my next confirmation I suppose. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 20:51, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Arbitration/Requests/Case/Ajraddatz could also work! Abuse of stewart permissions clearly equals a site ban . TonyBallioni (talk) 21:54, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * enwiki is on my 'avoid drama as much as humanly possible' zone, because everyone is looking for moar dramahz. &mdash; regards, Revi 01:35, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
 * An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
 * An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news
 * The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion.  You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
 * Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution!  The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

Miscellaneous
 * The previously discussed unblocking of IP addresses indefinitely-blocked before 2009 was approved and has taken place.
 * The 2019 talk pages consultation produced a report for Phase 1 and has entered Phase 2.

Long time no see
Hey man; How's it going?  Promethean  (talk) 15:45, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Clarification
In case pings don't work - at User talk:BU Rob13, I asked you for a clarification. I'm still open to listening, I just need to understand your message better first.  starship .paint  (talk) 08:38, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

I have struck my question, but would still like to hear your clarification so that I may learn from this.  starship .paint  (talk) 09:06, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for that. Apologies for not following up sooner - real life has a tendency to get in the way. In my delay, I think has further clarified my meaning for you, albeit phrased in a more pointed way than I would have. Please let me know if you still need further clarification. stwalkerster (talk) 17:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand that real life is often more urgent, no problem. I’ll ask a bit more. Is it accurate to say this: if truthful yes -> Fram would know Rob reported him, so this benefits Fram and harms Rob? If truthful no? Then confidentiality is no longer expected on Wikipedia because everyone would ask these questions?  starship .paint  (talk) 00:52, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
 * As I don't know the specifics of who did what (and presumably neither do you), I'm not going to mention names here, though your summary indeed covers part of the problem. Trying to figure out the victim here is most of the problem as it cultivates an environment where victims have to publicly announce they are a victim, and many will likely feel unsafe making such an announcement so will instead fail to report the abusive behaviour. The only thing that does is allow abusive behaviour to continue. stwalkerster (talk) 08:02, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
