Statement from Jimbo re. Bauder/Forrester, From around Jan. 2006 ArbCom Elections Options

[C H]

I recall Jimbo saying that any arbcom election process that failed to elect James Forrester or Fred Bauder was broken. It was around the time of the January 2006 election, where James and Fred had seemingly failed in their reelection bids. Shortly thereafter, Jimbo expanded the arbcom by 3 members, adding Forrester, Bauder and JayJG. Can anyone help me find the quote? It was either on-wiki or on the mailing list.

Oh they know about Wikipedia. They cite it because they wrote much of it.

I think that "Xenu," an article primarily written by anti-Scientologists with a COI, is possibly the most influential featured articles ever selected. The term got much more coverage after the article was written, and now average people know it and read about it on Wikipedia when they use Google. I recall some concerned members of other sects (Mormons, Moonies) opposed the nomination thinking that they might be the next target.. Nope. No largeish religious group is as reviled in the west.

NPOV is Popular POV on a good day, and so anti-Scientologists write lauded articles on Scientology.
