We move on but stay vigilant

I would have to say things will move on from here but I believe the community should stay vigilant in the future since I wouldn't put it past Lourdes to try sneaking back sometime considering she already did it once. Considering the level of effort she put into creating the Lourdes persona, it's clear that she has the means and patience to evade site bans and indefinite blocks. It's alarming that we never once detected it in the nearly 9 years that she was here. Noah, AA^Talk 22:10, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would not be the least bit surprised if they already had a sleeper on deck.

I'd love to gloat a little here and act like I knew all along, but the truth is I also took them at face value and never suspected the truth. I just thought they had a poor temperment for an admin and couldn't seem to see it.

I suppose claiming to be a somewhat notable person, then turning around and asking for all evidence of that claim to be supressed was a fairly clever way to gain sympathy and perhaps credibility. You wouldn't believe the lengths they went to in private communication with me and arbcom, claiming to have been abused in the past and that things I'd done and said were re-traumatizing them (I have no idea, and they probably don't either, if that person has actually been the victim of abuse), claiming the press would go crazy if they "found out" this notable person was a WP editor, (obviously what they would have found out was that this was completely false) and eventually, claiming that I was mentally ill and should be forced into counseling by the committee. Seriously. All to hide the fact that they were not that person at all and shouldn't be here at all.

I believe I am simply going to take the rest of the day off from all WP-related things and drink some wine with my wife, who is an actual real woman and not some dude in India scamming people. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, have a good one. To be honest, I believe we all could use a stiff drink after the last 24 hours. Noah, AA^Talk 22:38, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A bottle of amarone for you

Amarone	Bottle of amarone
	Have you ever had an amarone? If not, I recommend one. Thank you for putting in motion one of the weirdest series of events I've seen here. Jip Orlando (talk) 14:57, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May your chalice never run empty!

May your chalice never run empty!

What started as a simple run-of-the-mill admin conduct case revealed something much worse. It's not very often that we get to see an actual witch burn, given how many false witch-hunts take place. Whether or not the case was the final blow dealt that resulted in her demise, we will never know for sure, but it certainly revealed the witch's true form as she shed her facade. Take pride in knowing that her house of deception has come crashing down upon her and that she was purged from this plane by the holy light of truth. Rejoice in knowing that you have made Wikipedia a better place through your actions. I figured you deserve this WikiLove given everything you have endured over the years as a result of her. Good luck with the future and I hope more pleasant days await. May your chalice never run empty! Noah, AA^Talk 15:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like witches, so I find the wording just above to be somewhat insensitive, but anyway thanks for your work on the committee, and may the powdery mildew always bypass your garden. Folly Mox (talk) 13:31, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Technical news

The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.
There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. Feedback on this proposal is requested.

Arbitration

Eligible editors are invited to self-nominate themselves from 12 November 2023 until 21 November 2023 to stand in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections.
Xaosflux, RoySmith and Cyberpower678 have been appointed to the Electoral Commission for the 2023 Arbitration Committee Elections. BusterD is the reserve commissioner.
Following a motion, the contentious topic designation of Prem Rawat has been struck. Actions previously taken using this contentious topic designation are still in force.
Following several motions, multiple topic areas are no longer designated as a contentious topic. These contentious topic designations were from the Editor conduct in e-cigs articles, Liancourt Rocks, Longevity, Medicine, September 11 conspiracy theories, and Shakespeare authorship question cases.
Following a motion, remedies 3.1 (All related articles under 1RR whenever the dispute over naming is concerned), 6 (Stalemate resolution) and 30 (Administrative supervision) of the Macedonia 2 case have been rescinded.
Following a motion, remedy 6 (One-revert rule) of the The Troubles case has been amended.
An arbitration case named Industrial agriculture has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case close 8 November.

Cheers to the wiki news of the year

Well i guess the 2020s get crazier by day. To be honest I didn't know that it went down. Also something to note he probably already started a account beforehand to keep doing it after he unmasked so I guess it's just going to continue But let's cheer for the sake he did un mask himself let's have a cheers to lourdgate scandal •Cyberwolf• 23:29, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

notice of intent

Thanks everyone for your messages about the recent ridiculousness.

I made this decision before all of this went down, but with WP:ACE2023 starting tomorrow, I'd like to publicly state that it is not my intent to run again. I feel generally positive about my time on the committee, and I'd like to keep it that way. I also find I increasingly just do not have the time to keep up with all the committee business, and we need and deserve arbitrators that are able to remain engaged with the work they are elected to do.

And we need new blood on the committee, always. If anyone has been thinking of running, I encourage you to consider it, but also read User:Risker/Thoughts for Arbitration Committee Candidates, even if you just read the section titles, you'll have gotten some great advice. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:00, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for serving this community on the committee, Beeble. --ARose Wolf 13:43, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
