Nominations period

This page says nominations are open for seven days, but the period they are open for as up to eight days. Which is right? GoldenRing (talk) 06:41, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's leave the dates alone since changing them would affect the rest of the schedule. I've made the correction to reflect that it's actually an 8-day period. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:32, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Who gives you the authority to do this unilaterally!!! Power hungry Arbitrator thinks he can do whatever he wants! This should have gone to an RFC! I demand an ArbCom case! I demand you resign! (thanks GR, thanks Brad, that error was introduced by some moron last year and no one caught it then.) --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Due to a low number of candidacies, we may need to extend the nomination deadline a bit (see also discussion here). The timeline says that the absolute final date on which we need to wrap up commission selection is 27 October. Why don't we push the nomination deadline to Monday, 23:59 16 October, and adjust the evaluation period to Tuesday 00:00 17 October – Monday 23:59, 23 October?
