It's that time again!, Time for 2011 arbcom elections. Options

[radek]

After thinking a whole bunch about it, here's my voter guide. I eschewed the jokes (I can't even joke about this stuff anymore) in favor of simplicity this year.

[thekohser]

Any idea what "recent event in the news" he is talking about?

Almost certainly this.

I was gonna make a "what if only voter guide writers voted" list but Monty845 beat me to it.

IF the voter guide voters are representative of ArbCom election voters (who are themselves probably not representative of Wikipedia as a whole) then we'll get

Courcelles, Risker, Hersfold, SilkTork, AGK, Kirill Lokshin, Worm That Turned, Roger Davies

elected (assuming they chose 8 rather than 7).

Which is a ... "who cares".

But it's also interesting to see - assuming that these people really do get elected - which one of the voter guide writers is the "most" and "least" representative.

The most representative would be HJ Mitchell and Nuclear Warfare, with Sandy Georgia not to far behind.

The least representative would WMC, though that's mostly because like me, he's gonna pretty much vote a straight "Oppose" ticket (though he didn't have the cojones to go all the way with it). Other than that this fellah Hurrican25fan seems a bit contrary. Someone should ban him before it's too late.

Christ, Sandy Georgia is an annoying lil twat. I remember last year, she bitched and moaned about the candidates. Now more of the same this year. If she thinks she's so great, she should run. I'd love to see her arrogance disappear after she lost to NWA.

I'm not familiar with her. Who do you think will finish last? My money is on the 2 non-admins: NWA and Hot Stop.

Basically, she's mostly involved with article reviewing, but every election she bitches about every candidate that isn't in her small circle of buddies. Here's some stuff on the talk page where she rails against the candidates.

I'd expect Geni to give them a run for their money.

You mean the two non-admins?

Correct. I can't imagine many people supporting a defrocked admin.

[SB_Johnny]

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.

Bummer. Here I was hoping my many wasted hours on WV might have been leveraged to land me a nice cushy job as a kindergarten teacher in some fancy inner-city public school.

Unless, of course, they were hot babes who uploaded pics of themselves being defrocked.

Nay. Why do you ask?

Well, that last answer sounds more like me than you.

Which leads to the next question: are any of the Arbcom candidates hot babes?

I think there's one or two.

Nah, maybe one, about twenty years ago.

Yikes! Someone stuff that Geni back in the bottle!

[that one guy]

Of course, WMC opposes anyone who decided to go against him in the cases he was involved in, including the clerks. Bitter much?

I'm getting the feeling that Kww is going to have a better chance at obtaining a seat than what Monty845 is predicting.

Ugh please no. The fact that he's power hungry is bleh (as I said before, went for CU access [not sure about OS looking back]) and now wants on ArbCom which is basically "you get CU for free" in a sense. Granted you could argue all the candidates are power hungry but he stands out above the others and in a bad way.

If he does get elected hopefully he'll be given the 1 years spot left open.

Along with Geni he's one of the "anyone but these guys" candidates. His replies to the questiosn pretty much show him to be both a bully and an ass-kisser. That may be redundant, actually, but anyway...
