JzG is taking a looong wikibreak
I don't blame you, but you should know you're missed. I know this page gets archived quite aggressively, though — oh, well. Bishonen | tålk 08:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC).
Also hoping to see you around in the future, —PaleoNeonate – 04:13, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Yes, hoping to see you back soon! Chaipau (talk) 01:46, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
I missed it and it was archived before I could comment, but glad to know you're still alive. I'm rather inactive on WP myself lately. —PaleoNeonate – 19:18, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message
Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

- The article creation at scale RfC has been closed.
- An RfC on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.
Technical news
- A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Miscellaneous
- Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add
/64to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.
The article George Longstaff has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:GNG, WP:NSPORTS and WP:SIGCOV
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- Well that's a shame. All my sources are paper, and I don't have access to them right now for various reasons, so I suppose I will have to recreate it when I am back where my archive is. Guy (help! - typo?) 11:47, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
It does appear that you violated 1RR at Hunter Biden laptop controversy
as discussed at [1] Doug Weller talk 16:58, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- As did others, but I'm not going to make that edit again. A manifestly incorrect RfC outcome is nonetheless an RfC outcome, vexing though it might be. Guy (help! - typo?) 10:33, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Contentious topics procedure adopted
You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.
The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.
The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.
This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Western medicine
Inspired by [2], I did this. I expect it to be reverted soon... --Hob Gadling (talk) 10:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah. There's no such thing as "Western medicine". It's just... medicine. It inherently incorporates everything that is known to work, plus a load of woo that gets crowbarred in by charlatans like Kaptchuk. Guy (help! - typo?) 11:29, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, JzG!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
