ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technical news

A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Miscellaneous

Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add /64 to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.

LGBT UAE protections

Although the sentiments of your block are admirable, I am an editor trying to improve the page. AukusRuckus has shown bad faith immediately and made accusations against me which I fully deny. I feel like you were possibly misled or used. He tried to get you to unwittingly protect the page as a way to shut down valid discussion on the talk page so he could avoid addressing my edit concerns, proposing a reasonable edit suggestion, and may have unwittingly converted you into a WP:cowboy. I don't see you at fault for this in fact I don't take your actions personally. However, I think you may have jumped the gun on your decision without thinking about my side and what role he may have put you in by having you protect it without telling him to not duck away from our conversation and to actually type in there first. I will continue to try to assume good faith but this doesn't seem like he had good intentions from the outside looking in. I hope you will reconsider this page protection. Thank you. 01:41, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

The page protection isn't just about your edits. There is a long-term history of sockpuppetry and disruptive edits on the article going back years with page protections on and off throughout that. Making no comment on the merits of what you want to add, my suggestion would be to use the edit request process to suggest and dicuss the changes you want to make. If you try to edit the article there will be some instructions which appear. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My concerns are that without the barrier of that protection he will ignore my pleas for honest and open discussion in the talk page. It's not really fair to me or the community for one user to selfishly ignore conversations that can improve the page. Can you please at least prod him or try to get him to talk there? We can't discuss it if he stonewalls me and we will not get anywhere if I'm by myself. Thanks. 04:31, 29 December 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.137.183.249 (talk)
