Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Clerking proposal 2015#"Already authorized"?

You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Clerking proposal 2015#"Already authorized"?. Just in case you didn't receive the ping, I'm leaving this message here to let you know that your opinion is wanted in the linked section. Thanks. Biblioworm 20:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

hi biblioworm, I am a bit short of internet at the minute! I'll try to reply later :) -82.132.222.244 (talk) 08:20, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Tom, I may be able to help with closing the 3rd RfC in the series. (I haven't been neutral enough up till now to help, but the decline in admin numbers has slowed dramatically this year, and we now have two RfCs that will probably have an impact ... my own position isn't left of center anymore, I'm now back in the middle.) If I can help with anything while your internet is futzy, let me know. - Dank (push to talk) 16:08, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dank:, thank you! That would be great because I am unlikely to have time to commit to closing such a large discussion again :) However, of course, happy to assist with comments about the Phase I close, should you need them. --Errant ^(chat!) 23:39, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks ... we might need them! - Dank (push to talk) 01:55, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
