Perhaps if someone offered to pay me.

At this point, NewYorkBrad and SirFozzie are pursuing re-election. The terms of FayssalF, Shell Kinney and Carcharoth are also expiring, but no word yet on what they'll do.

Carcharoth has said he won't be a candidate in this election.

Too bad. He was always one of my favorite admins. But for that reason, probably best not to inflict more ArbCom on him.

I can attest that a run for ArbCom can be great fun, but it really does take a lot of time to do it right.

Yeah, too much effort for too few giggles.

Nothing of real interest; it doesn't really matter who the arbitrators are, after all.

I'm considering running if there aren't many candidates. I imagine another dozen editors are considering the same.

Nah, I'm not here for the WR vote or anything. In fact, if I really, really want to be elected I should be staying as far away from this place as possible. If there aren't enough viable candidates, I may throw my hat in the ring for the hell of it. I'm not going to hit the campaign trail, though. If I don't win, its not a big deal.

Participating at Wikipedia Review probably sinks any chance I might have had. Still, I could probably do a good job of it.

Why do you think posting on WR would reduce your chances of being elected?
iirc I didn't post on WR before or during the election in 2008 as I didn't want to be seen to be canvassing for additional support from this motley crew.

Wikipedia's canvassing policy is idiotic, of course.

I'm considering standing, but as I don't have so much time, I'd be applying for a job-share post. Now, all I need is a co-nominee. I asked Giano, but he's not biting.

I have seriously considered loaning out my account to anyone who wants to use it for some Christmas fun. Still on the fence about that too.

Well I'm hoping Fred Bauder runs again, he would certainly get the votes of my 12 enfranchised sockpuppets.

Sure. All you need is 15 minutes a week and a set of D&D dice, right?

In my thinking, "Christmas fun" involving Wikipedia would not involve "hijinks" on a WP server.

I daresay that "Christmas fun" would be more along the lines of belting David Gerard or Tony Sidaway in the mouth with a Yule log.
Now, that's entertainment.

What's job sharing? Is there a Wikipedia article about that?

Actually, I might have stood. But a) I'd get hammered again and b) if I did win, I am sure as hell not supplying my passport to the WMF...


...although I did wonder about supplying a photocopy of badly doctored Albanian passport, and seeing if they had a clue

Harej is hare-brained. I met him at Wiki-meetup NYC 2009, and he's just a teenager. Not mature enough for ArbCom duty.
