bot requestEdit
Hi, gry. In future, would you be able to create a bot which archives the sources and external links?
•–• 16:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe we could use w:User:InternetArchiveBot which does the same task and runs on more than one wiki. It is written in PHP.

Hi Gryllida

--The Irate Communist (talk) 16:25, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- The Irate Communist, thank you for signing up! Just confirming that you are interested in notifications of when an article becomes marked as 'developing' (this is the earliest stage of article development), for any topic, to be delivered on-wiki. Is this correct? Gryllida (talk) 19:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- yeah, that's all correct!The Irate Communist (talk) 03:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

BarnstarEdit
Thank you, Pi zero. It has been fun to work together with you, co-authors, reviewers, and people who made minor fixes. Also, with those who read, without any way to know who they are. Happy New Year! Look forward to the next years writing together. --Gryllida (talk) 20:57, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
BureaucratshipEdit
Hi. I've promoted you to Bureaucrat. Had to look back to my own promotion in 2013 to see what sort of notice had been been given to me on that occasion. There doesn't seem to be any tradition for crats similar to the mop-and-bucket for admins, tho. So: congratulations. :-) --Pi zero (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
TrophyEdit
Well deserved. --Pi zero (talk) 02:29, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
???Edit
Can you clarify a bit about this Welcome a bit?--Bddpaux (talk) 21:47, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Bddpaux, it sends you email notifications about new article submissions - either to the 'develop' or 'review' or 'published' queues. You can choose a set of categories (eg 'Australia' or 'Politics') to limit the tracking only to these categories and not to all of them. Gryllida (talk) 21:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Can you...........Edit
....remove Admin. privileges for User:Brian? See RfP discussions if you need to know more.--Bddpaux (talk) 15:29, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
I see........Edit
...that you've been around recently.....Hi! It'd be great if we had more than 1 'Crat on this project. Your thoughts? There has been some voting at Requests for Permissions.--Bddpaux (talk) 02:25, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, Bddpaux! Agreed, and I have voted. I will double check it and the pending backlog soon. Gryllida (talk) 11:02, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
Userspace draftsEdit
Hello. I’ve created a list of draft articles in userspace. Among them are these ones in your userspace. I don’t want to tag them for deletion or anything until you’ve had a look:
- User:Gryllida/Articles/Drafts/Adobe PDF zero-day exploit discovered, fixed unofficially in two hours
- User:Gryllida/Articles/Drafts/Google adds phone call feature into Gmail
- User:Gryllida/Articles/Drafts/Nokia announces Microsoft partnership
- User:Gryllida/Articles/Drafts/Solar roadways can power the USA with electricity, study finds
- User:Gryllida/Australian mother finds deadly snake in child's lunch box
- User:Gryllida/Debian closes FTP mirrors for download
- User:Gryllida/Georgia high school teacher fires gun in empty classroom, gets arrested
- User:Gryllida/United Launch Alliance says they will use reusable space rocket, save 70% of launch costs
There’s no urgency but it’s just something that has been on my to-do list for years and I figured I might as well get the list going. Cheers. --Green Giant (talk) 00:37, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, Green Giant. They're ok to go, as I have saved a local copy. Would you like me to delete them, or you would prefer to do it? Please let me know. Gryllida (talk) 02:10, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Okie doke. I’ll delete them if you wish, because I’ll be doing a batch deletion nomination for some others soon. --Green Giant (talk) 13:05, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Okie dokie........Edit
So, thanks for the vote. Now what?--Bddpaux (talk) 11:42, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
- Helo, Bddpaux. Is there some time, or number of votes, after which the request can be closed? Gryllida (talk) 02:55, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment Looking at the older discussions at WN:Requests for permissions/Bureaucrat, the general length seems to have been about two weeks.
- * Bawolff - 13 days
- * BRS - 7 days
- * Brian NZ - 9 days
- * Chiacomo - 14 days
- * Cspurrier - 7 days
- * IlyaHaykinson - 4 days
- * Pi zero - 18 days
- * ShakataGaNai - 9 days
- * Skenmy - 8 days
- * Tempodivalse - 32 days
- * TUFKAAP - 8 days
- I think it is fair to say all the bureaucrat votes have either reached 14 days or been long past that line. It would be a good idea to set a time limit for future nominations. Also I think it’s time to close Cspurrier's removal vote. --Green Giant (talk) 01:47, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yep....it's been a while now. I think action is due. Historically, the adding of bits has been all over the map in terms of times. We should (soon, with some kind of consensus, of course) look at time limits or minimum times or something of that ilk. I recently closed an RfP that'd bubbled for over a year. Seems a wee bit silly to me.--Bddpaux (talk) 02:37, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- I’ve cobbled together some suggestions on these issues at Wikinews talk:Requests for permissions. --Green Giant (talk) 03:01, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- Kewl.....let's give it a few days for reading/thinking/discussing etc. --Bddpaux (talk) 03:02, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
ArbCom 2021Edit
Hi Gryllida. I was wondering if you'd be willing to stand for ArbCom this year? If you don't wish to nominate yourself, I would be happy to nominate you.

'CratEdit
Thanks! Can you give me a 50 word tutorial on how the privs work and what my 'routine' duties might look like?--Bddpaux (talk) 14:30, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- You should now be able to grant/revoew admin/crat privs to those who are eligible or have been outed out, @Bddpaux:.
•–• 14:51, 1 August 2021 (UTC)- OK. So there is probably a User List page or something, that gives me the buttons to press in order to make that happen??--Bddpaux (talk) 19:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Bddpaux: The additional rights are listed at Special:UserGroupRights. The main page you would use would be to change local rights at Special:UserRights. Enter the name of the user you want to change rights for. Tick or untick the relevant tick boxes, write the reason, and save. Then close the discussion and inform the user on their talk page. --Green Giant (talk) 20:01, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Bddpaux, like Green Giant wrote above, you can modify user's rights at Special:UserRights. (This is usually preceded by a vote.) Please let me know if you have any questions. Gryllida (talk) 22:05, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Professor interviewEdit
Even for OR.....it's a bit further out than I care for........but it was well sourced/documented and is a good addition to the project. Cheers!--Bddpaux (talk) 20:03, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
