Your comment on files nominated for deletion

Thank you again, really. Your comment was a relief and made me smile. I wish there were more sensible and practical people like you on Commons and Wikipedia.Acqueamare (talk) 15:43, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Your vote

Hey Andy, I'd just like to follow up with you with regards to your vote in the Commons Photographers User Group board election. To clarify: I didn't “silently” withdraw a candidate. After asking the group's members for someone to step in and oversee the election, no one volunteered. But people had a strong opinion that someone who was running shouldn't currently be blocked. Then, on the day the election started, and while still no one was willing to lead the election process, I summarized the result of the discussion to that point, pointing out that User:Contributors2020 wasn't eligible. Then I started the election according to what was agreed upon on the talk page. I had even mentioned in one of my previous posts that I was uncomfortable with playing an active role in handling the election, as I was running as a candidate myself. Now, as always, I'm assuming good faith and I think you might not have been aware of the above. That's why I'm reaching out to you. Thanks, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:12, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

• I was only watching this page so that I can oppose that candidate if necessary, because I think they epitomise the "hat collecting" aspect of such.

But that said, we should be careful about vetoing such applications. At the very least they deserve an explanation at the time and in accord with all of our previous practice, we strike through such things rather than removing and hiding them as if they'd never been there. To just 'vanish' it like this? That's exactly the sort of judgement I don't want any more of round here, and certainly not in organisers or secretaries of groups. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

I get your point. Thanks for your reply. I think I could have done better by notifying Contributors2020 of the removal and I just apologized to him. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:52, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

What were you referring to? Brianjd (talk) 11:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

A discussion that's opened, makes the change anyway, then is closed only minutes later is hardly a discussion, is it? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't change the fact that the discussion is closed. If the closure was improper, reopen it. Otherwise, don't change it. Brianjd (talk) 12:09, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
