This page allows for general discussion and questions regarding the 2024 steward confirmations.

Final decisions (by stewards)

Confirmation discussions will remain open from 29 February 2024, 14:00 (UTC) till 7 March 2024, 14:00 (UTC). This may be extended to two weeks for one or more confirmations at the discretion of the Election Committee if the committee believes further input is required before concluding. The Election Committee will close these discussions and implement the outcome (which also means making a decision in non-obvious cases).

This page is for steward discussion only. Please do not comment in this box unless you are a steward.

The summaries below provide a very strict overview of the most relevant confirmation comments.

Stewards: Please leave your comments right below the boxes after reviewing the actual confirmation comments and your understanding of relevant policies. You may summarize the confirmation discussions in individual comments, but no overall summary is given.

  • Confirm - I understand the concerns raised, though do not believe it rises to the level of a removal. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 17:14, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I think the concerns are valid, and I know first hand how annoying it can be when stewards who make global blocks aren't available to discuss/deal with the fallout from them. That said, this isn't about my personal opinion - and I think there is still a weak consensus to confirm among the community who voted. – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I am concerned that Masti did not respond to a simple question when given multiple opportunities, until it began to pose a problem for their reconfirmation. I also feel that the eventual response is incomplete, and am concerned about the message that re-confirming in these circumstances sends. However, I am judging consensus and not voting in this case. At 77% I find it difficult to see consensus to re-confirm but could be convinced. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
    Due to the limited participation in confirmations compared to elections, I tend to be willing to support a bit of leeway (probably no lower than 75% outside canvassing concerns, etc.) and this case falls right at the lower end of what I would be comfortable calling a weak consensus to confirm. Numerically the numbers are very similar between Masti and Hoo man. However, I think there is some value in considering the arguments, and votes to remove due to unresponsiveness are in my eyes a more serious charge than inactivity, so I could also be convinced that this falls into a no consensus to retain situation. – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Remove there does not appear to be sufficient consensus to retain. — xaosflux Talk 00:13, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Confirm per Vermont. The concerns raised have been valid, but overall there appears to be a weak consensus to confirm. EPIC (talk) 16:53, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

All stewards running for confirmation

Latest comment: 8 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion
Note
Should you be decided to drop your comment here, please don't forget to add Confirm all or Remove all to your text. The discussion below applies to all stewards listed in the sections above, except the one commenting. Thanks, --Superpes15 (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

* Confirm all. For the case mentioned in Sakretsu/Vituzzu's confirmations, which are the ones standing out the most, I'm not sure entirely what has happened or who is in the wrong, but I'm glad they have been responsive and overall they have been competent and active stewards. As for Masti, I am also satisfied enough with the responses to the concerns addressed too. Overall, if they have learned from their mistakes, I don't think it's worth losing active and competent stewards over this, and thus I will still be leaning to confirm all. EPIC (talk) 14:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC) Reply

  • OK, I've taken a second look at the Vituzzu case, and I do not like what I am reading. I'm not too convinced by either side though, so for now, I will be neutral for that one. Other than that; confirm all as I do not have anything to say about the other stewards than what has already been said. EPIC (talk) 20:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

After some further thought I'm striking this for now as there does not appear to be a consensus to confirm all candidates. EPIC (talk) 14:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
