Per Yngvadottir's evidence, and in line with WP:ARBPOL, you are requested to recuse from the Conflict of interest management case.
Please see also this discussion on the evidence talk page, which explains why I am posting this request. BilledMammal ( talk) 05:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
personal involvement in the substance of the dispute or significant personal involvement with one of the parties. This is a high bar. I suppose the case for recusal would be that my reversion of the enquiry and decision not to reinstate it was aimed at protecting Nihonjoe from scrutiny or advocating for him - perhaps because I want to "back him up" personally, or because I have a desire to limit scrutiny of COI editing more broadly? I think both of these are easy to refute - I have no personal connection with Nihonjoe in any form (indeed I can't recall any places we have interacted at all), and I do not believe that reverting that enquiry has in any way lessened the scrutiny that he has received. Indeed the ongoing case has put the entire matter under about as high-resolution a microscope as you're likely to find on Wikipedia.
I am not sure, whether I am right here; if not, then please help me find the right addressee.
It seems that some of the fireflytools.toolforge.org/linter/_x_x_wiki bots crashed two days ago (they show "As of 2024-03-24 00:15:17" for the last update date and time). Who is able to try restarting them? --

Hi, I wanted to ask if there is a bot that nominates old drafts for deletion? Another issue is whether it is possible to use your bot in Persian wiki (For this task)? Pereoptic Talk✉️ 16:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Firefly,
I just noticed that Shewasafairy and I'm tla were receently blocked. In the block rationale for I'm tla you allude to Shewasafairy so were they sockpuppets of each other? Was there a sockmaster or an SPI I can look at? They both participated in AFD discussions and I'm unsure whether or not their comments should be struck. Really as much information as you Checkusers can sharee can help the rest of us know how to treat their contributions. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Firefly,
I sometimes notice that drafts/sandboxes come up for CSD G13 deletion and they never received a Firefly bot notice. Usually, I forget about them and so don't report them to you but tonight I saw a sandbox coming due tomorrow that is User:Andrewkathie/sandbox and they don't have any User talk page messages so Firefly Bot didn't post a notification to them. I hope you get this message before the page is deleted so you can look into this example. Thanks so much! Liz Read! Talk! 04:27, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
I am hoping to find the master in order to file an SPI (unless you can do a quick CU). User is I'm tla who shows blocked by you but I do not see the master. It links to another blocked user ( Shewasafairy) but I cannot locate that master either. Both accounts were the only !keep votes in an AfD for Failatu Abdul-Razak in February 2024. There are now four SPA accounts ( Amu'az4Z, Adamu ab, Yaw tuba, and Adansi11) who worked on and submitted Draft:Abdul-Razak Failatu. Note the attempt at changing the name to avoid detection of the previous deletion as well as similarity of usernames from the deletion discussion. Think it is worth a check but let me know if there is a master I can point to. Thanks. CNMall41 ( talk) 05:29, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi, is this from one of your bots? Is there any way I could convince you to change "bogus file options" to something a little less derogatory, like "file option errors" or some other wording of your choice? There's a backstory to the request but tl;dr somebody says it's ok to use "bogus" in an edit summary because it's in this report (and maybe whatever tool he is using). He's pretty wrong about that, but is not a native English speaker and apparently doesn't believe wiktionary.
Changing the software labels is a fairly trivial ask as far as I know, and it would rescue us both from a conversation that neither he nor I is enjoying. I would appreciate it if that happened. Elinruby ( talk) 22:25, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
In this edit, FireflyBot warned a user that their sandbox would soon be eligible for deletion under WP:G13. This is obviously false, right? jlwoodwa ( talk) 03:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
