Conversation

I would like to be in touch with Tiwa savage Fanes Kalumbwa (talk) 14:20, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately we do not have contact information about the people that are subjects of Wikipedia articles. The volunteers responding to messages to this address have no more information than that which is publicly available on Wikipedia. I regret that we are unable to assist you further in this matter.

RFA Crat chat stats

Is there a page where 'crat chat stats are tallied/stored? If the 'crats have ever failed to promote an RFA candidate in a 'crat chat, I missed it, so wonder if it has ever happened. My perception is that once a candidate enters 'crat chat range, editors stop opposing as they know the 'crats always promote, so their !vote won't count.

See Wikipedia:Bureaucrat discussion § Previous bureaucrat discussions. The immediately preceding section, "Outcomes", might also be of interest. (Yes, chats have failed to grant administrative privileges to requestors.) isaacl (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Thx so much, Isaacl (is there anything you don't know ? :) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:22, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Re the "outcomes" section just above, do you know how the 50% stacks up to non-'crat chat passes, and particularly, how the 20% "under a cloud" and "for cause" compare to overall numbers? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

I had a vague memory of seeing the table before so I just had a quick look from the RfA page. I have no idea what the stats are for admins generally (other than Worm That Turned stating at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Adminship term length that we lose about 50% of all admins in ten years, which works out to about 7% annual attrition). Given the extremely small number of cases that fall into the category in question, I wouldn't expect a close match in percentages with the general population of admins. isaacl (talk) 02:50, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Agree, having spent more time looking (not enough of a sample). I was just curious to examine my own confirmation bias, and of course the most negative of all the experiences from the last 5 years of the list tends to be what sticks in one's mind. Thx again, Issacl. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:52, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

removal of IP block exemption

What is the rationale for Bureaucrats being granted the ability to remove (but not add) IP block exemption? Crazynas ^t 22:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I suspect it is a additional check on administrators - one can technically be a 'crat without being an admin, the latter of which being the only group that can grant IPBE. Primefac (talk) 08:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I think it is left over from ancient times, as a component of cleaning up after certain rename/merge operations. It's not really hurting anything, last time cleaning up local crat groups was thought about was prob in phab:T140550 (2016) - but no one was really concerned with bothering with it. — xaosflux ^Talk 19:19, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
