Re: age of discussions at CR

I don't want to request a word limit extension for this, but I do want to say it: merge requests tend to remain listed at CR for a very long time because merges are complicated and discussions about them often result in very unclear consensi. I understand your general point, but I would not interpret the fact that there are three older outstanding merge requests as evidence that the RMs are not being unusually delayed; I consider them a separate animal. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 02:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

And there are 3 RfCs which had been unclosed longer than that. I didn't want to be accused of doing an apples to oranges comparison so I didn't mention them but my point is: we don't have enough editor time to support the processes we have and so hard calls (and there's no denying that close was a hard one) face a burden. Especially when they're not one off's as someone else takes one of those hard ones but may not be up for repeatedly taking them. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

A request for amendment

I am thinking about submitting an amendment request as outlined here, but I have a few questions. First, do you think I can try it, or given the AE issue, I would better wait another year? Secondly, do I understand correctly that such request only involves myself, and I should not notify other users? The interaction ban was one-sided. Or I should notify VM and Piotrus because they are mentioned in the FoF and decision about me? Finally, I would probably need a help from an arbitration clerk to correctly submit it. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble. My very best wishes (talk) 16:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @My very best wishes. I am of course speaking just for myself here. I think if you waited until a year from the AE enforcement, an amendment request would be fine or rather not too much more is gained by waiting an additional year. As for notifications, since you're already going to be asking for help from the clerks with posting (which I would suggest doing at WP:AC/CN) perhaps they could also help you with notifications, which in my opinion do need to happen for any kind of iban amendment request.

Thank you! Then I will definitely wait until a year from the AE enforcement. My very best wishes (talk) 17:29, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
