Who do you think may also run during the final week of arbcom?

These guys?



Anyway, here goes (hopefully for the last time)...

The Arbitration Committee is almost entirely irrelevant at Wikipedia. The committee is not "the leadership". It oversees only a handful of convoluted cases a year that generally have nothing to do with an encyclopedia's content. Most of these cases relate only to ridiculous trivial dramatic feuds. And even then, the Arbitration Committee tends to fudge a verdict, resulting in conditions that are little different to those if the players had never bothered bringing it up at all. Simply a tremendous waste of time.

The Arbitration Committee provides just another avenue for gameplayers to relieve their drama fixes. These annual elections in particular serve no purpose other than to provide a dramatic Carnival of the Absurd every year. This circus kicks up much negative drama that is clearly harmful to Wikipedia - with no net gain.

If people can't see this, then I suggest that they are so addicted to this crap they've lost all perspective, and should seek professional help.

Well, there was some speculation that, given the season, this particular user might run.

However, I think the user is now afraid that a certain person might checkuser and block him as a stocking-puppet. Apparently, that person is motivated by insecurities about parental identity , but I'd not comment on that.


(Did he ever get ANY presents?)

alride closing hours towards the elections, who else you think may run

Does anyone care?

I do along with people who care about the project.

30 more min until nominations close, any last second nominations you believe?

Littleunknownadmin, at first your threads and posts were interesting. Now you're just being irritating. There's no need to add a new post every milestone the deadline gets closer. Please stop.

274 more posts till he gets to 300!!

No one congratulated me for my 2,000th post.

Congrats on the Palindrome post! (2002)

I think Kato (secretly) does. He probably wants to make sweet monkey love to all the Arbcom candidates but is too shy to say so.

Not all of them. I heard that The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (T-C-L-K-R-D) was still picking Jimbo's tagnuts from his teeth, which kind of puts me off.

Gross.
We call them dingleberries around here. Fetch me my OED; I think Pynchon favored that term.
