Thryduulf, can I just take a moment to say thanks for your hard work on the committee. I think you did a fine job, especially as the person who looked after the mailing lists. I was always impressed on how quickly I received an acknowledgement during the last year, and I think that was in no small part down to you. It's one of the small things that people don't notice that make a really big difference.

== Regarding topic ban of Darkfrog24 == |
|||
I am contacting you because of your involvement in the topic ban that was placed against me. I would like to make the best of the next six months and am requesting your input on how best to do so. |
|||
What do you see as the appropriate way to oppose a longstanding Wikipedia MoS rule? My own take was to initiate no new threads or RfCs but participate in those started by others (which happens once or twice a year). This clearly was not something that you guys consider acceptable. What do you think I should do instead? Is it just that there was too much of it? |
|||
I notice that my offers to engage in a voluntary restriction were not accepted. What would you have seen as more suitable? Is it that I was asking you guys what you wanted me to do instead of making my own guesses? |
|||
What can I do over the next six months to give you guys confidence that I can be allowed to return to work? |
|||
I am understanding the topic ban to cover both MoS pages, articles concerning quotation marks, and their respective talk pages. Is this the case? Before I became involved, both [[Quotation marks in English]] and [[Full stop]] contained significant amounts of unsourced material and I am worried that that content will be returned. If I should happen to see such a case, am I allowed to notify someone else that the unsourced material is there? |
|||
I also feel that user SMcCandlish was not honest with you and should be treated as an outlier. [[User:Darkfrog24|Darkfrog24]] ([[User talk:Darkfrog24|talk]]) 14:57, 22 January 2016 (UTC) |

Signpost Arbitration interview request
Excuse me. I am lead writer for the Signpost's "Arbitration Report" and am wondering if you would be interested in answering some interviews questions as an outgoing Arbitrator. The questions will be asked through email, unless answering them here would be a more suitable choice. GamerPro64 19:00, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Feel free to email me the questions (see user:Thryduulf/Contact) and I'll take a look when I get time. Note that I've just returned from visiting relatives over the Christmas period so I have a large backlog of email to read, so I can't promise when I'll have time to respond. Thryduulf (talk) 20:59, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- I believe I sent you the questions to the right email. If not, let me know. GamerPro64 01:35, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Image Request
Hi there Thryduulf, I have posted an image request on the Commons link here. Since you are from London, I was hoping that you or any other Wikipedian from London could help me out. Please do have a look and let me know if you or any other Wikimedian can help out. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 21:07, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do :) Thryduulf (talk) 22:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you!. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion vs WP:RM/TR
Regarding your revert, after reading Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests more closely, I believe {{db-move}} to be the proper forum on List of most massive stars, as it appears to meet Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G6 (I was going to post this on my original RfD, but it was closed too quickly). Please let me know if & how this isn't the case. Thanks. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf) 16:27, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Possibly, I haven't actually looked to see whether the move is contentious or appropriate at all (e.g. if there has been a previous discussion about it). I just know that RfD is not the correct venue and was just removing the tag for that process so whomever deals with the move request isn't confused. Thryduulf (talk) 16:32, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, excellent, thank you. It appears that I've jumped the gun a little. (there is a discussion here, btw) ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅contribs ⋅dgaf) 16:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Thryduulf. Regarding this comment, it was actually User:Floquenbeam who did the block and not me. Could you fix the attribution? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:38, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Help decide the future of Wikimania
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fd/Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg/100px-Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg.png)
The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,
I JethroBT (WMF) (talk), from Community Resources 21:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Willing to listen
You say I don't understand the issue. I am willing to listen. We're clearly not on the same page. What does yours say? Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:51, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
