Regarding this edit to COIN, I wouldn't have described the contents of the email in the edit, as the editors mentioned (and anyone else) have no way to respond. I find that just saying "an email was sent" without any further details usually works. (No comment, as an admin or as an arb, on the rest of the discussion.) Enterprisey ( talk!) 08:49, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
This is to inform you that I challenge the 29 December 2021 closure/result of " RFC: Should the websites she surveyed be described as "anti-trans" in the lead?". I base my decision on the reasons I posted in the "Rapid-onset gender dysphoria controversy" Talk page (I was afterwards advised to pursue the challenge here, since you were the closer, and at Administrators' noticeboard), to wit: A "consensus" that goes against Wikipedia principles and policies is not a legitimate consensus. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:50, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
Could you, maybe... stop and think before rushing in where angels fear to thread, when it comes to RFCs? They should be a last resort, generally, after adequate discussion.(*) When they do get started, they should generally be let either run their course, or, at the very least, let be run for at least a week when they're started on a major holiday - like, e.g., Christmas friggin' Day! (*) This should be the case even where drama-hounds who are unprepared to put in the work themselves are egging on the ensuing drama with copious one-liners and trollish questions.

Hey there! I noticed your responses in the conversation and am wondering if you have thoughts on where to go from here.

Thanks for the invite at the pump. First, my best attempt at describinbg the big fuzzy wp:notability ecosystem is at Wikipedia:How Wikipedia notability works A lot of what makes the whole thing so mysteriously complex is trying to reconcile SNG's with GNG. But right now we sort of need the SNG's (except for sports :-). A part of the issue is thaty the SNG's are needed / crutches for / enablers of / prevent solving weaknesses in WP:GNG. Another is discrimination against topics that don't have an SNG. Some enclyclopic ones that don't have an SNG either need one, or an improveent in wp:GNG so that we don't need 50 new SNG's to take care of those. North8000 ( talk) 20:12, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, A. C. Santacruz. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:51, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I'm planning on reviving the Finance WP in the coming months/year and wanted to get some tips or advice from y'all on how to go about doing so or some ideas on things to do first. The areas I feel might need most work in the first few weeks/month are: 1) determining some kind of coordination system for the revival process, 2) determining the big areas the project will need to focus, 3) improve how the wikiproject attracts and retains new editors. Feedback on these areas or guiding WikiProjects in general is much appreciated. Pinging some coordinators of WPs: @ Peacemaker67, CPA-5, Gog the Mild, Hawkeye7, Hog Farm, Iazyges, Indy beetle, Parsecboy, Vami IV, Zawed, Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, and Tenryuu.
