Hey matey; seen this project? I was pointed your way by Kudpung (followed by an immediate headdesk at not thinking of you to begin with). Interested? Ironholds (talk · contribs) 21:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Good Horse Faltering, needs TLC and Carrots ....
.... not the bullet! See Wikipedia_talk:Town_sheriff.
Can you think of a few good candidates to round up for input into this one? Seems as though this, or something very simialr, could be such a good idea, but it's stalling for lack of TLC and attention. Thought you might be able to resuscitate it a bit - I don't know enough people yet to help this idea along. Seems to me that you'd probably know some good candidates for helping this to evolve into a damned good tool-wossname-thingie. Pesky (talk) 07:12, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Give it time; it can take months to get a GA-review; there is a considerable backlog there. Chzz ► 07:32, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Nonononono! I see you haven't quite woken up yet, lol! It was the Town Sheriff idea I was talking about! How about getting the a little less blood into the caffeine-stream, m'dear, lol! Good morning! Pesky (talk) 07:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sorry - I totally misunderstood; I thought you linked that as referring to getting help for the horse article. Bah; probably 'coz I was paying more attention to the Grand Prix on telly.
- Re. Misplaced Pages:Town sheriff - sorry, but I don't think it worth pursuing.
- There have been hundreds of discussions about similar "unbundling" of admin rights, and specific admin-type roles; I've read pages and pages of discussions about it, but I don't think it will happen. The simplest argument against it being, "if you want to do admin things, why not become an admin?" - so, the real problem is the state of RfA. And that is something extensively discussed on WT:RfA and its archives, PEREN, various RfC's - and currently the 9001st discussion is taking place on User talk:Jimbo_Wales - and I've already said what I think there.

- I get your point - but I think there may well be people out (t)here who'd be happy just to Sheriff a page or two, but would really, really not want to become a full-blown admin. Pesky (talk) 08:44, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- But they can do that right now, without any proposal. All that would be left from that would be, giving them a badge. I don't see the point in that.

- Good point. I must be suffering from caffeine deficiency myself, lol! And having read the RfA talk thing, I added a bit. Pesky (talk) 10:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
