Hello. I just want to know why you tagged
File:Ascott House Front.jpg as keep local, even if there is a Commons copy and the building is located in a country with full FOP for buildings (
c:COM:FOP UK). More so it is already in public domain since the renovating architect
George Dewey has been deceased for more than 70 years. In my opinion keeping a local copy with the relatively-useless {{
Ir-FOP}}
tag is not reasonable now. The tag itself is already redundant to {{
FoP-USonly}}
which is the de facto active FOP template on enwiki today, used on unfree buildings of countries with no FOP (as enwiki only respects US law). Photos of US and UK buildings are almost accepted at Commons since both have FOP for architecture.

{{

be the suitable tag? I cannot see the future utility of {{
Ir-FOP}}
since photos of buildings from countries with FOP (like UK) as well as virtually all U.S. buildings are also free for hosting on Wikimedia Commons any way.

Hi Risker, just to say thanks / apologies for the confusion last week, and to pass on two nice songs I think/hope you might like. Linda Ronstadt, and one that's very close to my experience in small towns Iris Dement. Best as always. Ceoil ( talk) 21:39, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I've had a couple of folks poke me to ask me where I've disappeared to. The short answer is that almost all of my volunteer hours (which seem to be piling up like nobody's business) have been focused on work with the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. I've been averaging 15+ hours/week for the last couple of months, not including a 10-hour-days weekend at the beginning of June. It's coming along well, I think, although I hope that members of this community take advantage of the different opportunities for review and comment on the draft chapters we'll be releasing in July: decision-making, Global Council, Hubs, and roles and responsibilities. We're also including a glossary this time around. Please. We know they aren't all the way there yet, and we need to get good, useful feedback on how to improve. The comment period runs until after Wikimania in August, and I'll post some links when they're up.
Once we get past that, it will take us another few months to cobble together everything else, get some more thoughts, work out how we're going to do the voting on this thing, and so on. So there's still much to do. But I think the pace will slow down after Wikimania. I hope so. I don't think I've ever said this before, but I'm almost looking forward to getting stuck into a couple of SPIs....
Still around, and I still follow up on this page, and check my watchlist pretty much daily. Risker ( talk) 02:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Risker. A couple of years ago you granted me an IP Block Exemption since I often edit on a corporate network that proxies its traffic through Google Cloud. That exemption expired last month, and I sent an email to checkuser-en-wp asking for a renewal, but I haven't heard back. I know you're not that active these days, but would you be able to renew my exemption? Thanks. --

Hello Risker,
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 20, 2024, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
For the Arbitration Committee,

Hey Risker,
Back in winter 2023, I sent an email to the VRT team to request a block exemption, as my life circumstances are keeping me from editing via an unblocked IP address. You granted this request on 29 December 2023, and mentioned I could request an extension here if I was still interested in editing. I still am, and was wondering if you could grant me such.
Thank you for the consideration, Anodium ( talk) Anodium ( talk) 00:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
