The polls are closed -- watch for results, the 2011 WP:DICK of Distinction awards pageant Options Rating

[Herschelkrustofsky]

Remember your basic instructions: you have a total of 3 points to award to DICK contestants. You may award all three to one candidate by voting for that person as both DICK and runner-up, or you may divide them by giving 2 to a DICK candidate and 1 to a runner-up. The winner will be the contestant with the highest combined point total.

You must cast one vote in every category. The last selection is the equivalent of a "pass."


All other categories are more straightforward: you have one vote for each category. Use it wisely.

Here, for any N00bs, are the definitions for each category:

WP:DICK of Distinction -- for all-around rottenness by an admin

The Tag-Team Event (see Wikipedia:Tag team)

Miss Incongeniality, for original and flamboyant violations of Wikipedia:Civility

Vexatious Litigant, for the person who just can't get enough of those noticeboards and arbitration cases

and for the good guys...

the Straight Shooter award for honest admins

and the Cojones de latón, for the non-admin who has distinguished himself in combat with the cabal

All set? Let's vote! Keep it clean. Winners will be announced after the voting peters out in about 10 days.

Cirt has now emerged as the dominant contestant for WP:DICK with 32 points, trailed by Georgewilliamherbert with 20. The Porn Protectors are maintaining a 5 vote lead over the Climate Changers in the Tag Team event, but here's a message for Malleus Fatuorum and Parrot of Doom -- it ain't over until the Slim Virgin sings. A little extra effort on your part, with some fancy teamwork and really egregious POV pushing, might still take you over the top. Meanwhile, Ottava is still the man to beat in the Miss Incongeniality category, with IronDuke and Tarc tied for second place. The Vexatious Litigant event is now adrenaline city with Abd, Baseball Bugs and FT2 neck-and-neck at 10 votes each. Scott MacDonald née Doc glasgow has left the rest in the dust for the Straight Shooter honors, while MZMcBride has actually pulled ahead of Cla68 in the Cojones de latón race. The fans are on their feet!

Wow, MZMcBride really has elastic balls! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

I haven't been following, what was Cla68's reason for being in that section?

Cla68 has been a stalwart foe of WikiKorruption for some time now, and has won the Cojones de latón honors for the past two years running. MZMcBride may have been a bit of a dark horse -- I haven't followed his exploits on-Wiki, but he clearly has many members of the Academy in his camp. Meanwhile, Georgewilliamherbert is putting on the steam, leaving Sandstein behind in the runner-up DICK contest. Could he still give Cirt a run for their money? And don't rule out the Climate Changers for tag-team -- they still pose a credible challenge to the Porn Protectors.

Meanwhile, the Vexatious Litigant event has got everyone on the edge of his seat. At the moment, FT2 has acquired a 1 vote lead over Abd and Baseball Bugs, but this race has been full of surprises, and no contestant can claim a decisive advantage at this juncture.

Apparently I'm less congenial than ScienceApologist? Well that's certainly food for thought.

It's important to remember that awards pageants of this sort are never purely technical assessments of the contestants. There is always a generous serving of Tinseltown politics involved as well. Have you thought about getting a better publicist?

On the bright side, your grudge match with Ottava is going well (or poorly, depending on how ironic you want to be.)

Is it? Lar has 12 votes for being a dick and another 7 for being incongeniate. That seems to be a tie to my 19.

And that is considering that Lar had to "lay low" when he was an Ombudsman.
