You wrote "SPECIFICO is having his say on his talk page" -- I am not aware of what basis you might have for that statement. At the current time, I am profoundly concerned about the process in this Case, both for the same reasons which others have stated as well as for factors relating to me which I've shared privately with NYBrad and Seraphimblade. I can comment if that would be helpful, but I will need to know from the Committee -- not individual Arbs -- that it wishes me to do so. I previously solicited the instructions, by email, of one Arb concerning my IBAN. I carefully limited my participation per those instructions and have now been voted againts by several other Arbs who thereby appear to be renouncing the guidance I believed in good faith was proffered by the Committee. I hope this is clear. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 00:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.
- We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
- In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
- The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi, I'm confused by the fact that several of the Arbitrators, including yourself, have made the - reasonable on the face of it - point that the finding of Tendentious Editing by Asynax would need more than the single diff from a year ago that the drafters had included in the Proposed Decision. However, there was an abundance of evidence posted in the Evidence and Workshop pages to support that finding, and I posted links to the most egregious eleven items here on the PD talk page. Is there some reason why these are not being taken into account? Or are they inadmissible for some reason? Or are they simply considered to be unconvincing or irrelevant?
Forgive me if it's not appropriate to approach you directly on this. This is my first experience of being involved in an Arbitration case. I do appreciate that there is a heavy Arbitration workload on at the moment, and that you do all have many other responsibilities in life. I did not want to simply repeat what I had already said on the talk page. Thanks. DaveApter (talk) 14:53, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

I've only just found out about this.

Hi, by the way. Waltham, The Duke of 21:55, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
I saw your comments described as such by other arbitrators. Now I can understand even better than before some of the reasons that people find being an arbitrator as difficult as they do. Other arbs are generally thought to be able to do what they were elected to do. Having said that, I hope no one sees this as me, who have never been remotely qualified for the job, criticizing others who had the guts to take the task on.
Remember, there are only a few weeks left. That happy thought might be able to help you get through some of the current arbitrations. I'd offer you a beer, but, under the circumstances, I know that for me that might be a real step in the wrong direction this time of year. Given some of the current cases, I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be bright for anyone, even someone who just doesn't like alcohol much like me. John Carter (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
I would greatly appreciate it if you would be able to take time to either assess or review this article:

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.
Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Thank you for the lovely note on my talk which arrived during vacation, - and which I re-discovered only now in archiving. I am in preparation to have a second Bach cantata featured on the Main page, so still busy but in a pleasant way. - Do you remember your reservation regarding my wish for infoboxes for Verdi operas for his birthday? Well, wish is in the process of being fulfilled, look at Rigoletto, Don Carlos, Falstaff. It seems so anachronistic that arbitration still "clarifies" infobox restrictions, related to the case during the (a bit turbulent and not free of misunderstandings) introduction phase of {{infobox opera}} while the former wars reached the realms of satire and caricature ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:07, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
A nice operatic performance --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for that link, Gerda. Carcharoth (talk) 22:30, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
- ... and a flower for performers --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Proud of Bach on the Main page, did you know that my user is only 5 years old, and when a friend told me he was an arb once I had no idea what that meant? For your continued service, thinking before you type:
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
- How do you like this (about La Loca (opera), comment, collaboration)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
- Good to see. BTW, I'm going to archive my talk page now, so any further replies made in this thread might get lost in an edit conflict with that. Carcharoth (talk) 13:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
