* Is it true you compromised the English Wikipedia admin account Cool3 in c. November 2009, and used it until it was discovered and desysopped? Majorly talk 20:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC) o Further, how much did you pay for it? Do you think that buying admin accounts is conduct unbecoming of a steward? Why or why not? ++Lar: t/c 01:06, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
"Compromised" is a loaded term, and my wallet has nothing to do with my Steward candidacy. (Unless, that is, Steward bits can be purchased like Wikimedia Foundation board seats can be? If that's the case, how much do I need to shell out for this Steward-level user right?) -- Thekohser 05:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Let's say it more clearly then: Mr Kohs, were you using the account User:Cool3? --Philippe 20:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I referred a non-Wikipedian friend of mine to Hivemind for reasons too convoluted to go into here; he observed that a Wikipedia administrators' convention would be a bad place to pick up women. I'm afraid that somebody qualified to make the assessment might say it would be a bad place to pick up men, too.

For pedios, though, it might be the happy hunting grounds...Young man!

It looks like Lar is having a bit of a tough go at his reconfirmation. It wouldn't really change much though, since he's an ombudsman for the next year, and can't be a steward or checkuser at the same time.
I wonder who the Wikimedia Foundation officials are that select the commission members. Are ombudsmen members voted on by the WMF board? Also it says the "ombudsman's real identity must be disclosed to the Foundation legal counsel." That's a bit different than when they hand out checkuser or oversight. They only have to identify to Cary Bass.

If I am not reconfirmed then when I'm done being an Ombudsman I don't go back to being a steward.
I find the forces arrayed against me pretty ironic. The two major factions are the bunch cheering on Proabivouac's campaign of lies, smears and blackmail, and the bunch who think en:wp doesn't have a BLP problem and who thought Doc went too far deleting .00001% of the problematic articles... with a good dose of those who think the Lar-SV case came out wrong, and a dash of the "WR is evil" crowd for good measure. And to top it off, Durova(301) too, who apparently thinks I'm too much of a glory hound for her taste.
Most other stewards just keep their heads down and don't let anyone know what they think about anything.
301 - this isn't actually a footnote. It's just a number.

So.....not so much fun helping to run that madhouse, eh? Suffering from a bit of backstabbing? I could have warned you.
