=== Question ===

Normally, I would say that it is no one's business what a person does or does not do.  However, I wonder if you can provide a bit more background based on the facts in this case.  You ran for the Committee, then resigned, which was fine.  Then you ran a second time and won again, and in that campaign you were repeatedly asked about whether you would resign again and you strongly indicated you would not.  Given this pattern, I feel justified in respectfully asking why you have been through a run-resign-run-resign sequence? '''—Jeff''' 02:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
:He's unlikely to answer that one right now.  You might save it for if he returns and runs again.--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 02:13, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks, TParis, but I'll answer it.
::Jeff, I'd rather you had logged in to the account I assume you have rather ask this while hiding behind an IP address, but to answer your question, this was not planned. I had promised myself on reelection to sit through this term no matter what happened, out of respect for those who elected me if nothing else. However, at this point, being on the Committee is far too stressful for it to be practical or healthy for me to continue doing in my free time. That aside, the current incident involving Cla68 and Kevin is continuing, with several more people having been outed since Cla68's initial attempt to out Russavia. Given the increased risk of being harassed and outed inherent in arbitrator-ship, it seems likely that that net will expand to include one or more arbitrators before too much longer, if action is not taken to stop it. I value my privacy and personal safety, and have an obligation to protect my family as well.
::So yes, I have broken a campaign promise. It certainly wasn't my intention to do so, but under the circumstances I hope that the majority of the community will understand. If I do return to regular editing at some point in the future, you needn't worry; I do not believe I would run for a seat on the Committee ever again, unless some serious changes are made in how the community treats what are supposed to be among the most trusted and respected of their colleagues.

:::Fair enough, thanks for the reply.  I suppose the gist of this is that you seem to indicate that your family would not be safe if your real name was known.  It is hard for me to imagine a situation in which that would be true.  However, you started participating here with an implied promise of anonymity, and due to the good work of the people at WO and elsewhere, that is no longer a probable outcome, so that is an understandable reason to leave.  Take care, —'''Jeff''' 03:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)~

== Wishing you the best ==

Hi Hersfold. I was saddened to see your resignation and was hoping to offer a few kind words before anything was done, but I see over at [[m:srp]] it's too late. Being an Arbitrator is the most difficult position one could volunteer for on Wikipedia and all you get in return is grief. This is a sad fact of the Wikipedia of today. I will say that I'm very thankful that you and other people are willing to help in this area because the alternative would be chaos. I'm sad to see it's had such a negative impact on your time here and hope that you'll try to remember some of the more pleasant experiences. As other's have said above, there are a lot of other projects under the WMF umbrella that could use an experienced person. I hope you'll consider volunteering at one of the more quiet areas. Thanks for all the help you've provided to the project over the years. Wishing you well.

*Never mind the silly hats on a volunteer internet project, I'm sorry to see you so worried and bothered. I hope that you can find some peace. That there are many, many people here who respect and admire you is easy enough to prove by flitting through some old election pages. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 13:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

== Draw dropping  ==

But at the same time, very understandable. I don't have answers that will save the day and stop all the active hostility to Arb com....but I am trying to find ways to help the community along with a handful of others editors. I kinda understand where the committee is coming from on a number of major issues. It has taken some time, but I believe Arb Com is too overworked, too understaffed (although a lot of editors would disagree with that, I suppose) and burned at both ends with people not trying to sort things out themselves. We simply do not have all the tools as editors to get over conflict. Should you find this interesting at all...I have started [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Conflict Resolution]] to attempt to address conduct and conflict issues that are more than simple incivility. Take some time to take a little break, experiance friends and family and if you would like, join us there if you wish.--[[User:Amadscientist|Amadscientist]] ([[User talk:Amadscientist|talk]]) 06:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I came here to thank you for your work on the RAN case and especially for the way you commended the parties and participants for being relatively collegial. Like Carrite I wasnt happy with the outcome, but I dont think you could have played your part any better, and much of the credit for the smooth running of the case, especially towards the end, has to go to you as drafting arb. Gutting to see you've resigned. A huge loss to the project, but I guess the time you'll free up will make this a good move for you personally, and maybe it will help the project understand how unruly the "community" is becoming.

== Re. Your bot's automated message on my talk page ==

I actually knew that I was exceeding the word limit at the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kiefer.Wolfowitz and Ironholds/Evidence#Evidence presented by Kurtis|Kiefer/Ironholds RFAR]], but according to the top of the page, I can request permission for an extended posting of evidence should the need arise &mdash; and [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kiefer.Wolfowitz and Ironholds/Evidence|I've done so]]. Would contacting one of the arbitrators be a good idea under these circumstances? I imagine that it is ''exceedingly rare'' for the arbitrators to grant somebody permission to exceed the word limit, and I doubt they will make an exception in my case, but is it worth the time to even bring this up with them?

Nice resume you've got there.

== Implementation of [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements]] ==

You are receiving this message because you are listed at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Former bureaucrats]]. Writ Keeper pointed out that these users were not directly notified of the [[Special:Permalink/676107626|community discussion]] ending August 2015, where consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements|remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years]].

As of 1 October 2015, any former bureaucrat who has not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years that wishes their bureaucrat permissions restored will need to request reinstatement at RFB.

If you intend to return to bureaucrat activity, please request [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Restoration of permissions|restoration of permissions]] before 1 October 2015 or three years passes since your last bureaucrat activity, whichever is later.

{{cquote|Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "[[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Inactive bureaucrat accounts|Inactive bureaucrat accounts]]" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity<ref>Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a [[meta:global renamer|global renamer]] or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.</ref> for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at [[meta:Steward requests/Permissions]]. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.

{{reflist}}
}}

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity]]. Modeled after [[Wikipedia:Inactive administrators]] and similar to that process, the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity/2015|log page]] will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFB]]. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –[[User:xeno|<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b>]][[user talk:xeno|<sup style="color:#000">talk</sup>]] 20:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
*Please note that any potential restoration of permissions is also subject to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Inactive bureaucrat accounts]]: a former bureaucrat who has been completely inactive for three years would need to seek reinstatement at [[WP:RFB]] notwithstanding the above. –[[User:xeno|<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b>]][[user talk:xeno|<sup style="color:#000">talk</sup>]] 12:26, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Template:Tltt2]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Template:Tltt2|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

Hi, I have been cleaning up [[Special:WantedTemplates]] and noticed that [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:%22_%2B_%22oldafdfull%22_%2B_%22 Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_"oldafdfull"_+_"] is pointing to your AFDcloser.js pages.  clearly these are false positives (basically a bug in how WP parses .js pages).  it would be really great if you could add <br><code><nowiki>// <syntaxhighlight lang=javascript></nowiki></code> to the top and <br><code><nowiki>// </syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code> to the bottom of those pages.  by putting these tags in comments, it won't prevent the javascript from executing, but it will remove those pages from [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:%22_%2B_%22oldafdfull%22_%2B_%22 Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_"oldafdfull"_+_"].  thank you in advance for your help.

:Hersfold hasn't been on in years.  If you think a change should be made and you are sure it won't break, you should just make the change.--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 00:07, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

The page has [[WP:LINT|Lint errors]] because it uses the obsolete {{tag|center}} and {{tag|font}} html tags. It is in this part -

<code><nowiki><center><font size="6">'''What are you doing here?'''</font></center></nowiki></code>

To get the same display without error, replace it with <code><nowiki><div style="text-align:center; font-size:xx-large;">'''What are you doing here?'''</div></nowiki></code>
