  New moderators elected

+ 3 like - 0 dislike
10410 views

Four new moderators have been elected upon the conclusion of the 2015 moderator elections.

  • Dilaton has been re-elected, and has agreed to be an active moderator.
  • Urs Schreiber has been elected, and has agreed to be a moderator, although he might not have time to actively participate in moderation.
  • Arnold Neumaier has been elected and will be at least partially active in moderation, as I judge from his response.
  • 40227 has been elected, and has agreed to be a moderator, although he might not have time to actively participate in site moderation.

Welcome! All the new active @moderators are requested to have a look at the moderator manual (please pardon the slightly funny language).

As for the existing active moderators, dimension10 will resign by the end of the year, that is about 2015-12-04, and Eduardo Guerras is not currently active anyway.

Congrats to all!

I am quite content with the results. Congratulations to all!

@physicsnewbie: Those wanting to say something about themselves do this already in their profile.

@Arnold Neumaier True, and upon reflection there's perhaps no need since sci.physics.research doesn't either: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/spr.html

The history of PhysicsOverflow meta post says that '

polarkernel, Dilaton, and dimension10 may be considered as "founders" for practical purposes.

@Dimension10 Then who started it? I thought it was you and @Dilation. And it would be good if there is a page that describes the founding of this site.
