Well folks, looks like its election season again. Up for grabs are 11 ArbCom seats (9 two-year terms and two one-year terms vacated by Fritpoll and Vanished 6551232), unless our Dear F(l)ounder changes things to get his favourites on Arbcom.

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.

A few non-arbs have declared their candidacy: PhilKnight, Harej, and Chase me Ladies, I'm the Cavalry.


Its very early in the game, but any thoughts on this year's horse race?

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

You should run. It would be the troll of the century.

I'm sure I'm ineligible; they have been progressively upping the edit count requirements to run and to vote so as to exclude trolls like me from consideration. Several people were very upset that I voted last year.

Do you need recent edits to vote, or just lifetime edits? I haven't done much editing lately.

They typically require a hundred or so edits in the past year to vote, and several hundred to a thousand in order to run. Pretty much limits the field to vandalwhackers and other obsessive types.

It requires 1,000 lifetime edits to articlespace, and that you be over 18. You appear to be eligible to run. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing it happen.

During this time, any editor in good standing who has made at least 1,000 mainspace edits before the opening of the nomination period and is of legal age and over 18 in their jurisdiction may nominate themselves



Looks like you are eligible.

I am nowhere near bored enough to do it, though. Perhaps if someone offered to pay me.

Oh, go on. I'll be your campaign manager, and I'm sure we can arrange an endorsement from the proprietors of Wikipedia Review. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

That's too bad, it would be fun to see. There aren't expected to be very many candidates this year, so you might even win! No way Jimbo would ever appoint you, but it would expose his hypocracy.

I'm sure if I announced a candidacy people would fall out of the woodwork to run against me. I'm not interested in spurring interest in wikiwanking, though.

Besides, I'd have to come up with a platform. Not to mention answering all those obnoxious candidate questions, although it would be fun to see how many times I can get blocked while doing so. Is "You stupid git!" currently considered incivil?

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.

Oi I thought you disapproved of destroying Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=305729709 . And what are you doing in this nest of trolls anyway?

I *do* disapprove of destroying Wikipedia. Sometimes a shock to the system can be theraputic, though.

Yes, trolls come here, but so do other people. It is a place to discuss Wikipedia, and here I can say things that I can't say on-wiki.
