• "Contact your nearest math professor for a simple description of how the method works." I love that part XD

But really, this is good to know; I wasn't even aware there were elections upcoming. Thanks for compiling the info, will read through (and watch). --LordPeterII (talk) 17:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Request for place holder images to be placed for those candidates who do not have a video

Hi @Smallbones:,

I happen to be a candidate for WMF Bot Community seats 2021 election. I would like to convey a perspective.

A number of candidates may not have had the time to make videos because of their work and life commitments, large number of community questions (total 61), the number of regional community interactions which most of us preferred to attend in person, and in the case of Global South nations like India, the necessary interaction with the numerous communities that comprise the Wikimedians of their country; in my country's case, 27 language communities.

I request that images of such candidates be placed as placeholders against their names where others have videos against them.

Best wishes, AshLin (talk) 05:19, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

@AshLin: Thanks for your request. I'm quite busy today, but I'll see what I can do over the weekend, Smallbones_(smalltalk) 10:45, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Voting delayed

The voting period for the Board of Trustees election has been delayed to 18th August through 31st August. Shouldn't the Signpost page be updated accordingly? Strobilomyces (talk) 15:36, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Done. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 03:08, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
