What do you mean "If this happen"?

Did I write something wrong on Peggy Flanagan's article that is not we are not to suppose write it?

How would you write it that is not if this happen? 50.91.26.176 (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi. The issue wasn't with your writing, it's with putting content about "if X happens, Y will happen" in the lede; it just doesn't seem overly significant that it could happen. If she becomes governor then it probably will be, but until then it falls into WP:CRYSTAL territory IMO. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 14:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
When do you think it would be a good time to put the edit back? 50.91.26.176 (talk) 20:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
If Walz is elected and Flanagan is now officially in line to become governor, I'd say then. But this is only my opinion, so do feel free to raise this on the talk page if you disagree. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 20:43, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Who would be lieutenant governor if Peggy Flanagan was a governor? I was thinking Mohamud Noor. 50.91.26.176 (talk) 21:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm afraid I'm not that familiar with Minnesota's politics, so your guess is as good as mine... ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 21:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Ged Nash

The article Ged Nash you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Ged Nash for comments about the article, and Talk:Ged Nash/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

I did mean to comment again about ElectionsIreland.org, but forgot -- it's OK if you want to leave it in, but if you do have other sources that you can cite instead that might be better. Or if you're confident that further review would mean it can be considered fully reliable, that's fine too. I also wanted to say that if you nominate anything else and are looking for a reviewer, let me know; I'd be happy to review another of yours -- this one was painless!

Of course. I checked to see if I could find a county council source for the elections but regrettably a lot of their stuff isn't online from that era. Much appreciated re the further review, glad to have spared you the pain! ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 13:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
  • The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.
