- Hi. I don't know much about the details of this matter. I do know that last time I was made to feel a bit foolish for passing on their request[1]. I have no strong opinion on this matter and will defer to your judgement. HighInBC Need help? {{ping|HighInBC}} 21:06, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- A discussion to workshop proposals to amend the administrator inactivity policy at Wikipedia talk:Administrators has been in process since late December 2016.
- Wikipedia:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2016 closed with no consensus for implementing Pending changes level 2 with new criteria for use.
- Following an RfC, an activity requirement is now in place for bots and bot operators.
- When performing some administrative actions the reason field briefly gave suggestions as text was typed. This change has since been reverted so that issues with the implementation can be addressed. (T34950)
- Following the latest RfC concluding that Pending Changes 2 should not be used on the English Wikipedia, an RfC closed with consensus to remove the options for using it from the page protection interface, a change which has now been made. (T156448)
- The Foundation has announced a new community health initiative to combat harassment. This should bring numerous improvements to tools for admins and CheckUsers in 2017.
- The Arbitration Committee released a response to the Wikimedia Foundation's statement on paid editing and outing.
- JohnCD (John Cameron Deas) passed away on 30 December 2016. John began editing Wikipedia seriously during 2007 and became an administrator in November 2009.

Haven't seen you around much. Hope everything is well. --NeilN talk to me 14:32, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Things are well with me. Every few years I see an example of abusive users being protected by administrator friends and it frustrates me as I joined this community with the expectation that civility was an expected norm.
- But that is not why I have been away so long, I have just been very busy lately. Things are pretty good around here.
- I do feel bad about taking this break right after being accepted into the BAG group, but I will try to make it up to them later. Thanks for thinking of me. HighInBC Need help? {{ping|HighInBC}} 18:18, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
