Let's talk about the other candidates. JamesOfUr, for example, is doomed to fail, because 1) he became an admin just recently and 2) he has been an active user for less than a year. (He did register in November 2006, but he only made like six edits until August 2009.) MuZemike has also barely been a user for two years, and hasn't even been an admin for one year. So Amalthea is the only CheckUser candidate who has a decent chance of winning.

As for the Oversight candidates, well, I guess they all have good chances of winning.

What surprises me, though, is the lack of familiar users in the election. Heimstern Läufer, for example, as I said above, would make a great candidate, because he is also an admin on a non-Wikimedia wiki, as well as the forum for that wiki. X!/Soxred93 and JulianColton are also good users for the election, but unfortunately, they are both underage. PMDrive1061/Lucky 6.9 would also make a great candidate, because he frequently makes CU cases about the sockpuppeteer "MascotGuy" and has said in at least one case that he is sick of making cases and wants to "get CU privileges so [he] doesn't have to keep crying over [there]". But most of all, I'd like to also see candidates who have been users on EnWiki since its first three years.

MuZemike is a yet another typical Wikipedian repressive personality type with no ears (does not listen), a big ban hammer ... therefore he will definitely get the Super Powers!!!

A Napoleon complex by his own inference? ... he gets a potshot taken at him of being "an example of one clear Arabist, Islamist biased administrator” by an anonymous blog. I doubt it but it might be an interesting balance ... likes wrestling and Wii so I would say has all the right skills.

People Cannot Help Being Short
July 2, 2008 by muzemike

As a 5′ 4″ male adult, and it’s something I am not proud of.

I have been discriminated upon all my life. I cannot date women, participate in certain sports everyone else takes for granted like basketball or football, or be viewed favorably in a professional environment unlike my taller counterparts. I am often compared to despotic anti-Christ dictators such as Napoleon (5′ 6″), Josef Stalin (5′ 5″), Nikita Khrushchev (5′ 3″) and Kim Jong Il (5′ 3″). Short people like me have been the justification for genocide, like they have done in Rwanda and in Bosnia.

This is the life I live, which is a life in which I cannot enjoy basic things that others take for granted. There is no way for me to fly planes, become a politician or head of any company, even though I hypothetically be the most-qualified individual out there. Being short is not like being fat or being skinny or even being weak-willed. There is nothing that I can do to make myself taller and become complicit with everyone else in society. You can say it’s like being born black, hispanic, or Asian, even though I am white.

But I suppose all the tall people out there wouldn’t know that, since you people don’t have to deal with the bullshit I have to deal with. THAT’s why I’m not religious, anymore; because if God intended for everyone to be happy, He would have made everyone tall.

Mike ... don't do it.

Forget God, take down the blog, move to another country where the dames are shorter and you will get laid more often, and be happy. Do not fall into the habit of acting out your power fantasies as a slave laborer on the Porno-pedia please.

Yeah, well....FYI:that same anonymous blogger has me up as a Palestinian-Arab in Europe, part of the the "aggressive ‘Radical Arab-Islamic Lobby’ on wikipedia" (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

Charming blog. Let me guess....another angry Zionist editor offended at any attempt to make WP "neutral". With an angry blog that nobody reads.

Come to think of it, MuZemike is kind of a dick. He's a regular on SPI, where he helps to summarily ban people who may or may not actually be socks. I'm especially thinking of that General Tojo mess.

Yeah, well, I´m just consuming my favorite wine (German Riesling), celebrating that I´ve become part of the "aggressive ‘Radical Arab-Islamic Lobby’ on wikipedia"
