Hi, Thank you so much for the proposal of sanctioning Post-1978 Iranian politics. I have requested that long time ago. Editors repeatedly getting reverted and bullied in that area. I would like if you add Iran and 2019 Persian Gulf crisis articles to the log. Thanks.--SharabSalam (talk) 03:32, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde.
I saw that you revdeled some transphobic doxxing earlier on today and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to do the same again on the same article and on one other:

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Hello! I think I have finished off all the requested changes to this article. If I missed anything, please let me know. It looks like there is an attempt underway to get a photo released under an appropriate license, so I deferred adding anything right now. I am happy to discuss if anything else is needed. Canada Hky (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Vanamonde, thanks again for changing the User:DYKUpdateBot/Time Between Updates number from 86400 to 43200.
Back in August, with the backlog enormous, we had a long discussion on the DYK talk page and ultimately consensus determined that the best solution was to go from promoting one set to the main page to two sets a day, and the way to do that so the DYKUpdateBot runs twice a days rather than once is to change Time Between Updates from 86400 (86400 seconds, or 24 hours) to 43200 (43200 seconds, or 12 hours). This was done on August 12.
We've continued running at two sets per day for over a month now while the backlog has slowly decreased, but I was very surprised to discover a return to one a day—43200 back to 86400—had been done with no discussion within minutes of the suggestion being made, so I asked for a reversion, which was only resisted because Maile incorrectly thought there was a timing problem that prevented it. (There isn't. It's true it's a bad idea to go back from 12 hours to 24 hours when the most recent bot run was at midday, because then the subsequent changes are done at noon rather than midnight, and we're always supposed to have at least one change a day at midnight. But here, the most recent bot run was at midnight.) Hence my request to you, since Maile had finished editing for the day.
At some point in the next several days, it will be necessary to go back to one set per day because the number of approved hooks combined with the number of hooks in preps and queues will be too low, at which point we'll go back to 86400, but I'm guessing that won't be until Tuesday or even as late as Thursday or Friday if approvals pick up.
What's going to happen next is that DYKUpdateBot will run at 12:00 UTC, promote the latest queue to the main page and update Template:Did you know/Next update/Time from 2019-09-15T00:00:00Z to 2019-09-15T12:00:00Z during its run, and then the bot will wait around until it's 43200 seconds after 2019-09-15T12:00:00Z, at which point it runs again.
Sorry if this is too much detail, but I wanted to be sure you were comfortable with what I asked you to do, since you were willing to trust my word on it, something I very much appreciate. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:06, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

When you requested that this ran at TFA on the 90th anniversary of her birth, 21 October, I provisionally listed it because it looked near to promotion. However, it's still not promoted, and I see a new comment from Casliber today. Because of the way the FA bots work, I can't do the rest of the month beyond 20 October until this is scheduled, and I'm on holiday from 30 September for two weeks, so in practice if I can't list it in the next week, it probably won't run. I realise that will be disappointing, and I hope it doesn't happen, just forewarning you. @Dank:, @FAC coordinators: for info Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:12, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.
Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

We now have our fifth arb (Opabinia) !voting to close the case and till now, there is zero attempt to minimally engage any dissent.
And, then they wonder (and write essays) about why people do not typically AGF, as to ArbCom. They deserve every bit of Fram's hyperbole. ∯WBGconverse 09:13, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
I hadn't seen Cullen's reply in the "Jim" section, but I haven't been keeping a keen eye on my watchlist either. (I kind of went through it and cleaned house a while back and removed SOOOO many "watch" tabs. Anyway - if you DO decide to run, I'm pretty sure you'll have my support. I've seen a lot of your work that I have a great deal of appreciation for. And TY for the response.— Ched (talk) 04:35, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
It is needed to remove some material from this article. For example, the background section is too long as well as most of the article is background instead of the event! Or the first paragraph of the background has nothing to do with that incident (just compare years) and.... All in all, I have to pick some material (as well as add some others) to clean up the article. What should I do while there is no active user in the page to respond in TP (I started to discuss the mentioned issue in TP)?Saff V. (talk) 12:16, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Since you deleted this article, you seem an appropriate person to ask. There is an edit in the history by an IP that attempts (and fails miserably, choosing a different continent) to out me. Would it be possible for you to provide me with a diff link to this edit please? Also could you confirm what the edit summary was as well? Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 09:14, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Couldn't help but notice that almost all of your negative political posts revolve around smearing the US.
Don't you think its a bit inappropriate for an admin to behave in such a biased manner?
If you are interested in such topics, why exclusively post about the US while ignoring the far worse crimes committed by opponents? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B015:2D96:9988:249D:F42A:E590 (talk) 07:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Vanamonde--if you don't mind, can you remove that question? I don't know if an answer would change anyone's mind; in addition, it either pretty much dictates how the candidate will have to answer, or it will be just another opportunity to shine the light on someone who is not running for admin, and their poorly-hidden alternative account.

This seems incredibly unhelpful. If it matters not where the issue arises, "quoting him doesn't help"? I don't get that at all. Quoting me does help because it identifies the issues that arise every day and I'm precluded from doing anything about. Perhaps that's not what you meant, but be careful with your language.
