GAs
Since you took up the GA for Lonestar, would you be willing to look at Tracy Lawrence and Mark Chesnutt too? The former has been open since October with no takers. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 14:05, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
If you could step in sir, I've done the easy bit :) but there isn't an article history section to update? Thanks for your offer of help, I'm rather poor at this kind of stuff! ——SerialNumber54129 13:34, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- yeah that is a problem with GAR. The template needs to be added manually. I am on mobile at the moment, but will do it when I get back home. AIRcorn (talk) 20:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- That talk page lost all of its history except for the peer review. A five-event Article history is now there—I kept finding one more event. The GA2 review is the odd one; I'd forgotten I'd had to put it out of its misery when the reviewer was blocked for six months, but there was too much there to delete the page. Unfortunately, Article history doesn't offer an "unfinished" option, so I used the true but not as accurate as it might be "not listed" value, which is not the same as the suggested "failed", but seems to display as if it is. Oh well. (I also didn't bother looking up old id values; only the one that was already there has the link to the version that was active when the historical event occurred.)

- Thanks for that. It is not often that there is that much missing. I added the latest ID as it is quite easy to find. I don't think it is worth digging for the rest as they weren't listed as good in those versions. Thanks again for your diligence. AIRcorn (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: and Aircorn, apologies, I forgot to look back here after asking, but thanks very much both for helping out with the process. It all sounds most odd! Much appreciated both, though, for going to the trouble. ——SerialNumber54129 19:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Your input sought
I am considering another RfA in 2019. Next year is an Olympic year, so by this time next year I need to make a firm decision whether to participate as a media representative, as I did in 2012 and 2016. This will affect my personal and work commitments in 2019 and 2020. Given past experience of what is involved, I do not think I should accept without the admin bit. Before I even go to ORCP, I am seeking the input of a small number of people who gave well-reasoned opposes at my last RfA. I am seeking constructive feedback on my editing, and whether you feel I have addressed the concerns that you raised. I take criticism very seriously, and assure you that I will act upon it, regardless of whether I ultimately decide to initiate another RfA. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:33, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- Despite being first to oppose you last time I was wavering a bit on where to put it. When I first wrote my comment I originally did so in the neutral section. It was only after I typed it out that I decided it belonged under oppose. That was over three years ago and I was basing a lot of it on interactions I had four years before that. I did notice that during the RFA you acknowledged the block of Thivierr and I can even understand the thinking regarding Racepacket. At the time my main worry was that some of your decisions as an admin would be based more on who your friends are rather than what is the right course of action for the encyclopedia. However, I don't think anyone can doubt your commitment here and you must have some pretty thick skin; these seem like pretty good traits for a useful admin. Seven years is a long time, more than enough to ease even my long memory. I guess as far as advice goes I would suggest being open, honest and early in acknowledging your previous issues, in particular the desyopping. You are going to have opposes based on that no matter how much time passes, but you don't need a hell of a lot of new supports to succeed. I can't recall any recent issues from you and the few times we have crossed paths recently have been very pleasant. My default position would be to support you in another run this time.
