• A series of 22 mini-RFCs that double-checked consensus on some aspects and improved certain parts of the administrator elections process has been closed (see the summary of the changes).
• A request for comment is open to gain consensus on whether future administrator elections should be held.

Your name

Hey, because of the recent 'crat's noticeboard thread, I figured out that your initials can also stand for no personal attacks on here. :-) Welcome back! Graham87 (talk) 23:21, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Heh, yeah. It certainly wasn't a determining factor, but in my notes around changing my name, I wrote out initials just to see if anything bad was associated with them, and the first thing I thought of seeing NPA was WP:NPA.

And thanks! It's good to be back. — Naomi Amethyst 23:56, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello! Also a lurker at the crat's noticeboard. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your thoughtfulness and overall handling of the big ole' massive discussion about you regaining the tools. It must be straining at a bare minimum. I'm sorry that has occurred in this instance and I wish you happy editing, tools or no tools. —Sirdog (talk) 00:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! — Naomi Amethyst 06:11, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

NA, I hope it wasn't straining. This is a subject that has gotten a lot of attention over the past decade or so, and it truly has nothing to do what anyone thinks about your likelihood of being a useful admin. Best to you! Valereee (talk) 21:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Only a little! But thanks for your level-headed, insightful comments on the thread, Valereee. — Naomi Amethyst 06:11, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Thank you for your patience in the processing of your resysoping. — xaosflux Talk 12:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

• If you haven't yet, a good place to catch up on admin changes while you were less active is the admin newsletter. There a links to many back issues in your archive. Best regards, — xaosflux ^Talk 12:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! And I'll be certain to go back over the old newsletters again, too. — Naomi Amethyst 06:14, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Welcome back

I was just reading back through a thread in the EFN archives (can you tell I don't pay much attention to AN or BN?), when I saw that you're back. I hope you didn't take my comment re inactivity to be specifically targeting you, I certainly didn't mean it that way! I hope you're having fun editing again. FozzieHey (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! And no, while the ping might have gotten my attention, I didn't see it as pressure or targeting at all! — Naomi Amethyst 00:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
