The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:
The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here.

Congratulations! - Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

The article Reigns (video game) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Reigns (video game) and Talk:Reigns (video game)/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hello, I was curious as to why the page I referenced above receives suppression for vandalism. Checking the deletion log, this seems to have been happening a lot recently. Why did you make the choice to suppress those edits (out of curiosity). I also apologize for my incorrect revert, which caused more work for you. Thanks, OnlyNano 17:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding this comment: it sounds like you want to discuss the subject in general? If so, then I suggest it would be better to have the discussion elsewhere than in someone's request for administrative privileges. isaacl (talk) 05:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

A wikifriend told me privately that they thought I was suffering from burnout. They felt like I wasn't acting the same. So I'm seeing another wikibreak coming on after all my content I planned for is published and done. I think it's for the best, since I'm incredibly tired. Anyway, I'm still here, and I'm still trying to listen. So you can talk on or off wiki if you want. Happy editing, and please try to be nice to one another.

Whew, this is going to be a big statement. Some of you may have been watching my behavior over the last few months, that I've not been as active and calm as I usually am. There are a lot of emotions running through my head, and after a long while of dealing with mental health problems, I've concluded that I'm not the best fit to be an admin at this point in time. I wouldn't say never, but I think there are a lot of things holding me back, chief among them, uh, me.
There are numerous problems that I hope to someday resolve, mostly surrounding my temperament, discussion-perspective, and maturity issues. I don't have very good skills at de-escalating disputes and being a conflict-averse person, it's hard to learn those skills at a young age. And I'd rather resolve them beforehand than end up doing a shoddy job.
The event that inspired this was a controversy surrounding tone policing that I poorly handled some months back, and after some long-term deliberation, I feel like I need time to learn so I'd say this is a NOTQUITEYET situation for me. I'm going to take the step of not resysopping and maybe running for a reconfirmation in 2-5 years. But hey, this might be a relief to a lot of you, and it is for me. And I feel like I'm better off several months later now that I have lots of wikifriends who I enjoy talking with via email and Discord. This also gives me a lot of time to focus on collaborating on content with others, expanding my work to new areas, and focusing on improving my interpersonal skills. Thanks for your support and insight, The Night Watch (talk) 23:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
If it makes you feel better, I declined an offer for adminship in late 2021 for the same reasons. I knew I'd freak out the moment I got taken to WP:ANI for the first time.
