Out of curiosity I took a 20# sledge to the ice on the sidewalk and measured it. Four solid inches. I'd upload it to Commons, but I can't find the appropriate category for "Winter sucks". There's another seven inches of snow on top of it, now. Kylu 20:41, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps commons:Category:Very annoyed people with snow, subcategory of commons:Category:People with snow, or commons:Category:Allegories of winter? :-) Nemo 09:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful, clueful, thoughtful. I hope that sometime we'll have enough stewards to force each one of them (by means of lack of things to do) to have some spare time and to avoid wikistewardshipholism. --Nemo 22:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there's more to it than that. I'm finding myself being "used" to having steward tools. When you've got buttons and the sort of ... well, global mandate, I suppose ... that many stewards do, it's possible to do some quite out-of-policy things and nobody calls you on it. Tyciol, for instance... I was dubious about the lock and expected there to at least be some public discussion on if it were appropriate, and to an extent I tried to encourage it, but none was forthcoming. It bothered me that I could lock someone's account on my say-so that there were a number of complaints and nobody would actually question me on it other than the blockee, and that only in passing.

That's not the sort of power I'm comfortable with anyone having, really. Trust is a wonderful thing, of course, but there needs to be some sort of verification and questioning that go along with it. I tend to think that the stewards are a fairly transparent bunch (especially compared to many other groups online), but I don't want to hold the hammer so long that everything looks like a nail ready to be flattened. Having read opposes on other confirmations many a time, people go absolutely bonkers over things that are typically trivial compared to the actual abuse that a rogue steward could actually perpetrate.

Requests for comment/Minimum voting requirements is really worthy of some attention and making into a firm policy. So many people think that if they get four or five friends on a project, they can simply make themselves all admins and/or bureaucrats and run it the way they'd like and chase off anyone who objects. That's very un-wiki and not the sort of behavior we should tolerate, much less encourage from the way the system is implemented now. Also, Requests for comment/Dispute resolution committee and Requests for comment/Global requests committee could use some attention.

I'd like to thank you all for the kind words so far, of course, and the trust that has been shown to me in previous elections/confirmations. I only hope that I've been more of an asset than obstacle, even for those who I was in opposition with at times. Kylu 03:50, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for this message, where you highlight the most important issues around.

It's interesting to see someone leaving because of a lack of drama. ;-) Seriously, though, it's true that our admins etc. are often left a bit alone in their decisions and we should support each other more, at least for some difficult cases; on small wikis it's difficult because there are few users, but on Meta we should find a way to do so, although I don't have a solution apart from your exemplary transparency. With regard to Tyciol, it's a tough topic; I didn't like much that lock and especially its reasons, and I said so (if I remember correctly), but actually I don't care much about en.wiki and their USA-centric puritan policies (if any): the only thing people cared about here was to tag the proposed policy as such [1] [2] and I'm sure that someone would complain, if you ever got so used to the tools as to lock other users (and especially non en.wiki users) according to that non-policy.
