The 6th Annual WP:DICK of Distinction Awards, Nominations close Tuesday, January 17 Options

[gomi]

Our staff member Hersch normally handles these duties, but it is well into January without a word, so I thought I would kick off the initial nominating process for our annual awards pageant.

For those unfamiliar with our awards, here are links to some previous year's winners:

The 2007 WP:DICK of Distinction Awards
Poll: The 2008 WP:DICK of Distinction® Awards Pageant
Poll: The 2010 Wikipedia Review "WP:DICK of Distinction"

Traditionally, our categories have been:

For the bad guys ...

WP:DICK of Distinction -- for all-around rottenness by an admin

The Tag-Team Event -- for group evil-doing, usually in support of some bias

Miss Incongeniality -- for the worst (non-gender-specific) biter of gentler Wiki souls

Most Vexatious Litigant -- a new award in 2011, honoring DICKs who run too often or loudly to the various "enforcement" schemes that Wikipedia offers, or those within those schemes who encourage them through bombastic and/or hubris.

and for the good guys...

The Straight Shooter -- an award for honest admins

The Cojones de latón -- for the non-admin who has distinguished himself (or herself) in combat with the cabal


There have also been new award categories proposed, including

The TL;DR Award -- self-descriptive. This was also suggested as the Impotent ArbCom Logorrheaic or Tedious Windbag award, but we determined that this would sway it too narrowly toward one individual.

Let the games begin!

[A Horse With No Name]

WP:DICK of Distinction -- Risker (who continues her long reign as the stupidest person on Wikipedia)

The Tag-Team Event -- The Article Rescue Squadron (those lovable Keystone Kops are still racing about to save stuff that no one in the real world cares about)

Miss Incongeniality -- Baseball Bugs (who serves absolutely no purpose on WP except to stir up AN mischief)

Most Vexatious Litigant -- Titptoety (Wikipedia's would-be police officer)

The Straight Shooter -- Alison (though, to borrow an old line, what's a nice girl like her doing in a place like that?)

The Cojones de latón -- Malleus F. (the winner and still champ)

The TL;DR Award - Newyorkbrad (have you ever tried reading his "explanations"?)

[Herschelkrustofsky]

OK, seriously can I nominate Cool Hand Luke for straight shooter. He's really cool.

Nothing personal, but that is one of the dumbest statements I've ever seen in my life! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif)

Our policy as been to accept all nominations and let the voters sort them out. Of course, derisive comments are also welcome.

The Tag-Team Event -- Ryulong and anyone who gives in to his wishes

Our policy has been that to be nominated as a tag-team, the members must be specified.

The Tag-Team Event -- The Article Rescue Squadron (those lovable Keystone Kops are still racing about to save stuff that no one in the real world cares about)

See above.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

I guess I haven't followed Off2riorob's career closely. I thought of him as a good-guy type, challenging BLP defamers, but he seems to have pissed many people off for unrelated reasons. I note that Malleus is also widely loved and hated.

Here's what we have so far:

WP:DICK of Distinction --
Fæ (T-C-L-K-R-D)
Risker (T-C-L-K-R-D)

Michael Netzer (T-C-L-K-R-D)
Newyorkbrad (T-C-L-K-R-D)

So I think, at a very minimum, we should elevate Will "Beback" McWhinney (Jr.) to the "DICK of A Lifetime" award, and remove him from consideration elsewhere.

I sympathize, but I would hate to deprive Will of an opportunity to win the top honors by a popular vote. The closest he ever came was to win the tag-team title with SlimVirgin, and he may have ridden her coat-tails to victory on that one.

I'd like to propose a new category: The Sandy Vagina - for WP editors who winge and winge and winge over the slightest slight. In honor of the naming, I'd like to nominate SandyGeorgia as our inaugural winner.

[thekohser]

...for WP editors who winge and winge and winge over the slightest slight...

Much as I hate the spelling "whinge", you can't imagine the rage I have for its variant misspelling, "winge".

Also, may I self-nominate for Cojones, owing to my daring exposés in Examiner?

I will be glad to make it "official" and nominate you for both Cojones and Straight Shooter! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Sorry, but the Straight Shooter category is for admins, silly rabbit.

DICK OF DISTINCTION: Iridescent - for leaking the Arbcom list to Wikipedia Review.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

SandyGeorgia is not an admin, but she is nominated.

Oh. That will never do.

[radek]

SandyGeorgia is not an admin, but she is nominated.

Oh. That will never do.

There should also be some kind of long run award for Risker.

Not a Dick.

Doesn't really Tag-team.

Not Incongenial

Nor Vexatious

Not TL;DR

But dammit, worthy of some kind of award.

Hypocrisy supreme or something. Anyways, there's a very obvious blind spot in these award and that's what some of these proposals above (like mbz's) are getting at I think.

In honor of Jackass 3, I suggest the "Poop Cocktail Supreme" award.

In the alternative, "How Does She Exchange Gasses Without External Assistance" award.

In brief, the "Box of Rocks" award.
