But the point about the NRA president FLC was a bit off. IHA forgot to log out and immediately reclaimed
that comment under their account (
[8]). It was like how I said They only contributed a bit after excessive prodding on my part because I have it up for FLC.

Thank you so much for reviewing the
IHA sockpuppetry case. It means a lot to me that you went the extra mile and left no stone unturned for it.
It's nice to finally to start getting a little closure, you know? I can't give you a hug, but I can at least give you this.. Seriously, thank you. – MJL ‐Talk‐ ☖ 07:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC) |
On a related note about the SPI archives, Guerillero said in the CU/clerk/patrolling admin section that he thinks Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/6YearsTillRetirement should be merged with that case. If you are clerking there, merging them might be handy for future investigators, though doing that may require some deliberation as with the review you just did. -- Pudeo ( talk) 14:13, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

The Arbitration clerks are pleased to welcome GeneralNotability ( talk · contribs) to the clerk team as a trainee!
The Arbitration clerk team is often in need of new members, and any editor who would like to join the clerk team is welcome to apply by email to clerks-llists.wikimedia.org.
For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 00:00, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello GeneralNotability. We have added you to the list of clerks and you will be soon subscribed to the mailing list (info:
WP:AC/C#clerks-l). Welcome! I and the other clerks look forward to working with you. To adjust your subscription options for the mailing list, see the link at
mail:clerks-l. The mailing list works in the usual way, and the address to which new mailing list threads can be sent is clerks-llists.wikimedia.org. Useful reading for new clerks is the procedures page,
WP:AC/C/P, but you will learn all the basic components of clerking
on-the-job.
New clerks begin as a trainee, are listed as such at WP:AC/C#Personnel, and will remain so until they have learned all the aspects of the job. Although being a trainee is similar in name to the SPI clerk trainee role, you don't have an appointed trainer / go to mentor. Generally questions are asked in the clerks mailing list, on the private IRC channel or sometimes onwiki. When you've finished training, which usually takes a couple of/a few months, then the full clerks propose to the Committee that you be made a full clerk. As a clerk, you'll need to check your e-mail regularly, as the mailing list is where the clerks co-ordinate ( on-wiki co-ordination page also exists but is not used nearly as much). It is also where arbitrators will post messages directed for the clerks and where messages for the clerks by other editors are sent if they are communicated offwiki. If you've any questions at any point of your traineeship, simply post to the mailing list. If you would like to join the IRC channel, which is where communication also occurs, I suggest contacting L235 for further information. I understand that you already have IRC + a cloak, so L235 should be able to add you with ease.
Lastly, it might be useful if you enter your timezone into WP:AC/C#Personnel (in the same format as the other members have), so that we can estimate when we will have clerks available each day; this is, of course, at your discretion. Again, welcome! Regards, Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 00:16, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
