User talk:TechnoSquirrel69

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Dark Deco[edit]

Hello, may you reopen the discussion for Dark Deco, so I don't have to re-nominate it? Even with no comments, no quorum is not a "do nothing" close, and should have either been acted upon as I suggested (retargeted to a Batman related topic such as Batman: The Animated Series, one of the only relevant uses of this term on Wikipedia), or remained open to garner further comments, per WP:NOQUORUM (or Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes#No quorum for RfD specific). I would prefer not to unilaterally retarget in the meantime as there are multiple options, but the status quo is not one and has no support. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 20:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Utopes! Thanks for reminding me about the silent consensus principle, which slipped my mind when I closed this discussion. I don't have time to do so at the moment, but I will overturn my closure and re-close the discussion later this evening or tomorrow. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Utopes: Thanks for your patience; done. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Last name[edit]

Thank you, didn't mean to edit an archive of a talk page. Probably could ask you for help. There is a good bit of misunderstanding on here about how to talk about family members with the same last names. It's generally established that you use first names to distinguish which person is being referenced. You can see FM Sky doesn't think so. Deliciously (talk) 02:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deliciously: No problem! I'm not particularly interested in joining your original discussion, but I'm sure FMSky can weigh in now that the message is on the right page. Also, you don't need to post replies to my talk page when the original comment is on yours, you can simply ping me in the thread (like I'm doing here) and I'll be notified of your message; this helps keeps discussions organized and in the same place. Let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
