Hi Ealdgyth. Now it's over, while we're waiting for the results I can now expand on some of the thoughts I expressed during the campaign. Whether you supported or opposed my candidacy is of course entirely up to you - important is that you participated in the process. I would just like to put two concerns of yours in perspective. 1) As far as I know there is no anti admin cabal, I have never said there was.if there is, it exist outside Wikipedia. I have always referred to an anti-admin 'brigade' and have constantly taken great care to mention that it is not a cohesive or organised group. It is a clearly identifiable archetype of editor who vehemently expresses extreme negative opinions about admins and does not refrain from making personal attacks, including lies in order to disparage them. They do not act in concert. 2) If one looks very closely, one will see that the questioners got the answers they deserve; there is no need to kowtow to them to get their vote. Whether or not I am offered a seat on the Committee is immaterial - I'm not sure I ever wanted to stand in the first place. If I am elected, I will concern myself with the day-to-day work of the Committee. If not, I will seek to bring about reforms of the electoral process, mainly focusing on the need for questions and voter guides to be at least objective and kept free of gender related and other socio-political barnstorming. I will be looking to you for support, and once again, thank you for taking part in this year's ACE. Regards, -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 10:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Ealdgyth, sorry I reverted your edits on Richard Basset but your actions were unreasonable on the following counts:-
You would have more time on your hands to actually write stuff if you didn't change everything that isn't done precisely the way you want it. Wiki's main problem is lack of content and lack of references. You would better use your time by adding to wiki, rather than endlessly editing. Sliven2000 ( talk) 18:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
You'll go mad! Best of luck, but whoooah! Myself, more and more, I concentrate on improving poor but highly-viewed existing articles, which as you know are legion, at a fairly gentle pace.
