Noticeboard
Clerks' Noticeboard
This noticeboard's primary purpose is to to attract the attention of the clerks to a particular matter by non-clerks. Non-clerks are welcome to comment on this page in the event that the clerks appear to have missed something.
Private matters
The clerks may be contacted privately, in the event a matter could not be prudently addressed publicly (ie., on this page), by composing an email to clerks-llists.wikimedia.org; only the clerk team and individual arbitrators have access to emails sent to that list.
Procedures
A procedural reference for clerks (and arbitrators) is located here.

- Arbitrators, clerks and trainees: Please coordinate your actions through the mailing list. The purpose of this page is for editors who are not clerks to request clerk assistance.
Word counts in case request
Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Jonathunder's_use_of_admin_tools_in_content_disputes is the first time I have filed a case request and I have a question about word counts. The gross word count of my request is 745 words but net of the timeline and diffs, the actual substantive portion is only 389 words. That no clerk or arbitrator has yet asked me to reduce the request suggests that the 389 figure is the more accurate way of counting. Since there have been points brought up by Committee members that I would like to comment on, is my remaining allowance, therefore, -245 words or 111? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

- Your true number is 757 by my count. But I'll give you an extension up to 1000 words. Our goal isn't to be draconian; I'm personally fairly lenient when extensions are requested. Ultimately the purpose of word limits is to prevent unproductive lengthiness; when you're using space reasonably well, we'll grant extensions.

Word count
I believe I am slightly over the 500 words in my statement + replies at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Statement by TheresNoTime ~TNT (talk • she/her) 14:10, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- @TheresNoTime: I'm granting you an extension to 1,000 words for this case request. (cc: @Clerks: ) Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 18:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
