Good lord. I thought you were kidding before seeing that link.

Well, you can always go to the questions page and ask the little twit if flipping frozen burgers and
pushing buttons on a microwave oven qualifies him to administrate an "encyclopedia".

Isn't it obvious by now that Jimbo Wales is a troll? Would he put DeltaQuad in charge of a jetliner,
or an oil tanker?

[Michaeldsuarez]

Maxim probably has the best shot if you ask me of the non-functionaries.

Maxim seems alright. He's one of the neutrals right now, still thinking about it and will have to look more into him.

Maxim has decided to withdraw his or her candidacy.

I was under the impression that DeltaQuad was a child.

DeltaQuad is young, but likely over 18. Gratuitous outing link number one & number two.

Qualification
Work Experience

Employee - McDonalds
Volunteer - Administrator and Support Teams - Wikimedia Foundation

I cannot understand if he is an admin, or he is not.I mean this box at his user page
In any case it is going to be hard on him: work, uni, private lessons + govcom

Quick question - has there ever been an ArbCom case that revolved around copyright violations?

[radek]

What a crappy bunch of candidates. I can only hope someone comes forward to shake shit up.

NWA! Now that's what I'm talking about

He does talk a good game.

(Replying to myself)

NWA was a subject of a previous WR thread. I'm still thinking of voting support for shitzngiggles and really, he can't be worse than 90% of the other candidates. At least he's likely to lighten the place up.

I concur. On the one hand, he has a history of controversy. However, he does stand for change. I think he is a breath of fresh air that this place needs, especially given his history of confrontation against admins. This guy has balls. I also happen to think Worm that Turned, Kirill Lokshin, and Eluchil are great candidates.

I doubt that would be warmly welcomed. Young DeltaQuad appears to want to keep his "public identity", um, private:

e) If your real identity is not already widely known, do you intend to publicly identify yourself if elected?

There have been several arbitrators who do not disclose their external identity and I will be following in their footsteps, not to further identify my public identity. -- DQ (t) (e) 09:01, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

So presumably he won't be adding "arbcom member" to his resume?

On a side note, I wonder whether employers would see WP stuff on a resume as a positive or a negative.

[A Horse With No Name]

Quick question - has there ever been an ArbCom case that revolved around copyright violations?

Well, ruling arbitrator and election candidate Roger Davies seems to have a cavalier attitude towards copyrights.

On a side note, I wonder whether employers would see WP stuff on a resume as a positive or a negative.

They would see at as filler, along the lines of a high school chess club.

I also happen to think Worm that Turned, Kirill Lokshin, and Eluchil are great candidates.

Out of curiosity, are you looking for change? If so I wouldn't go with Kirill since he's been on the committee for an eternity.


If I weren't blocked I'd go with Hot Twat.

I consider Newyorkbrad and Kirill to be two of the better arbs.

I agree, I like those two a lot. It just seemed out that you'd support someone <i>and</i> the longest serving member in history.

Reading this sorry looking list I think the voting scale needs to be rejigged, from perhaps 'meh' to 'dear God no'.

[Peter Damian]

As promised earlier here is the editing table updated with the new candidates. http://www.logicmuseum.com/x/index.php?tit...diting_patterns


Its primary sort order is by ‘A max’, which indicates how ‘focused’ an editor is. A high number signifies focus on one particular page. This correlates highly with content creators. A low number suggests highly repetitive ‘gnome’ work.

Keep in mind that the sampling was the last 5,000 edits (or all edits, whichever is lower). This may have unfairly disadvantaged editors like Courcelles, who has 5,000 edits this month alone, and more than 100,000 since inception. But then you have to ask why someone is making 5,000 edits a month.

In descending order of usefulness:

Panyd

Scores 187 on focus, which is high for the group, but actually this is for Template talk:Did you know (templates count as article work). The first article we come to is 50 Berkeley Square ‎which is only 15 edits. Suggests a ‘gnome’

NWA.Rep

Has only 4,000 edits. Focus score is 98, for Culture of Taiwan, followed by 92 for List of Chinese Americans. There should be a weighting factor for any list article, perhaps even a negative weight, but I haven’t implemented this.

Eluchil404

Focus score 68 for Skandar Keynes.

Worm That Turned

Focus 65 for ‘Pasty’, followed by 26 for ‘BLT’, an article about a sandwich.

SilkTork

Scores 64 for Eastbourne.

Kww

Focus 58 for Selena Gomez & the Scene discography. Most of his article edits are related to Selena Gomez (who she?).

Jclemens

Focus 49 for the talk page of Talk:Family Research Council.

Roger Davies

28 for Jonathan Sumption. A low value which may not reflect earlier content work – remember this test looks only at the last 5,000 edits.

Hot Stop

Focus 28 for George Godsey (football coach). Only 900 edits available.

DeltaQuad

Focus of 8 for Template:Proxycheckstatus. This low number puts DQ in the good company of Hersfold and Courcelles. Only 973 edits to articles, the balance being 1691 for user space, 2335 for Wikipedia space. Top edited page in Wikipedia space was “Wikipedia:Requests for page protection”. Also very involved in sockpuppet investigation.

Kww

Focus 58 for Selena Gomez & the Scene discography. Most of his article edits are related to Selena Gomez (who she?).

Selena Gomez (T-H-L-K-D) is a teenaged Disney princess/actress/singer thing.
And Kww is a middle-aged man, making his obsession with her very, very disturbing.

This is another component of Wikipedia's popularity--it serves as a place where creepy celebrity
stalkers can write obsessive essays about their target personality. Anonymously.

That's a great chart, the Wiki-Sillies could easily make a similar rating system for admins to
help decide who should be given more power. But that will never happen.

Wargaming is far more important than knowledge.

This just in. It appears NWA is insinuating something about Kww due to his disturbing obsession with Gomez. Any idea what "recent event in the news" he is talking about?
