Courtesy vanishing
hi. With respect to 's nom statement, you mention courtesy vanishing. As per our guideline on the same, "A courtesy vanishing may be implemented when a user in good standing decides not to return... If the user returns...the old and new accounts will be linked..." Might I request a clarification on this? As Schwede has returned to editing, have the old and new accounts been linked? If yes, please do assist me in understanding how. If no, please do assist in clarifying whether arbcom has allowed such non-linking (and do you think some arbcom member can confirm the same here)? Let me assure you in advance that I'm not going to oppose for this or any reason related to vanishing. Thanks. Lourdes 09:09, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I expect Ritchie meant a clean start? 🎄BethNaught (talk)🎄 09:18, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * All I can tell you is that a current arbcom member has been looking at it and has said everything is above board and there's nothing to worry about. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  09:50, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * - knowing the minefield that is RFA, do you think that will be sufficient? If there is a clear requirement to link or exceptional reasons not too, the RfA contributors to whom that sort of thing is a concern (not me I hasten to add) are bound to raise this, don't you think? Best to get stuff like this resolved early on. Maybe the Arbcom member needs to explain? Leaky  Caldron  10:02, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I am reasonably sure that Schwede66 is not the bastard offspring of Essjay and Orangemoody; as for the specifics, I have this paranoia that if you talk about arbcom behind their backs, they swoop in and hand out a punishment for you, so yes - maybe they could clarify this.

 * I've emailed the arbcom with a request for clarification. Lourdes  11:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * For clarification, the account in question has been declared (voluntarily) to the Arbitration Committee, and was used legitimately as mentioned in the nomination statement by . The account has not been used since 2009, and was not involved in vandalism, sockpuppetry, disruptive editing, etc. I trust that this statement will address any concerns. --kelapstick(bainuu) 11:30, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes it does. Thank you Lourdes  14:17, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I've reviewed the account as well and fully agree with kelapstick's assessment. Mkdw talk 18:49, 31 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I think it's extremely bad faith to even suggest that a clarification from Arbcom would be necessary. All those who made such suggestions or demands - or who have turned RfA into any kind of 'minefield' over the years - please take note. While I am as much concerned as anyone that we do not promote the wrong people, we should ask ourselves whether promoting a Reds under the beds paranoia is truly conducive to building a friendly and trusting collaborative environment.

 * As a matter of sincere courtesy to you, I apologize if it came out as bad faith. If in the future, I see a candidate at Rfa who claims to have returned after having utilized the courtesy vanishing route, I would again request a clarification from the nominator or the candidate. Our guidelines on courtesy vanishing do not entail an editor returning; and in my opinion, there's nothing unfair in asking a candidate or his nominator to clarify the stand of courtesy vanishing, when the editor has returned to editing. Perhaps what Ritchie meant was clean start (in which case my response would be absolutely different) but he did not acknowledge the same. As I mentioned, this response is not to take anything away from the apology I've extended to you, if my pinging arbcom came out as bad faith. Thanks. Lourdes  09:54, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I was explicitly asked to use the term "courtesy vanishing" by Schwede66, and assumed since he had been speaking with them, that it was the right term to use. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:52, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The question was perfectly valid and the follow up confirmation quickly negated the need for potentially disruptive challenges. No one has anything to apologise for. It does not matter how senior and venerable a co-nominator is, standard challenges must be encouraged, not deprecated. Leaky  Caldron  11:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
I've placed a few thank you notes on my talk page.  Schwede 66  18:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
