Stimmberechtigung bei Wikipedia:Adminwiederwahl/Mabschaaf

Moin AnnaS.aus I.,

Genau zu diesem Zeitpunkt deiner Stimmabgabe warst du nicht allgemein stimmberechtigt gewesen. Es fehlte dir eine Artikelbearbeitung, damit du die geforderte 50 ANR-Bearbeitungen innerhalb der letzten 12 Monate hast. Da du nun die allgemeine Stimmberechtigung hast, brauchst du einfach nur deine Signatur zu erneuern, den Hinweistext wieder rauszunehmen und deine Stimme wieder in die Wertung zu setzen. LG, Funkruf ^WP:CVU 00:17, 15. Feb. 2024 (CET)

Guten Morgen Funkruf und danke für den Hinweis! Ich war davon ausgegangen, dass es für eine AW-Stimme keine allgemeine Stimmberechtigung braucht (was falsch war, ich hätte das vorher prüfen sollen - muss mich erst wieder ein wenig an die WP gewöhnen ;) ). Danke noch einmal und LG --AnnaS. ^(DISK) 07:36, 15. Feb. 2024 (CET)
