How charming. They've got FIVE of their most disgusting patrollers -- AGK, Courcelles, DeltaQuad,
Geni, Hersfold -- running for Arbcom. Plus four people who do nothing but use Wikipedia as a
private Facebook. The remainder are gnomes who use bots to mess with formatting (SilkTork included).
Very few of the candidates have actually written and finished any articles.
It's broken, the whole thing is fucked. That's all I can say.
I've made this page of the very secret wiki public.
http://www.logicmuseum.com/x/index.php?tit...diting_patterns There is an explanation of the table, but for starters, try sorting by 'A total', ascending order which shows how many of the editor's last 5,000 odd edits were in article space. You will recognise a few names there.
It is also interesting to sort descending by 'U total' (gasbags) or 'W total' (machiavellians).
'A max' is a measure of 'focused editing'. The higher the number, the more the editor is likely to be a 'content creator'. The lower, the more they perform mindless and repetitive tasks of the sort that equates to unskilled labour in the real world.
