a dick among dicks... a true brown log, to rise in to the top of the Wikipediot Cesspool. A little boy, who will never be a man, a child of wiki and the brain damaged fool he shown himself to be.

I would like to propose a new award category, if anyone is interested: Most Vexatious Litigant in an ArbCom Fiasco. I don't have a favorite for this, but I do think we've been remiss in not awarding a DICKie for ArbCom-related activities. I would also like to propose the category Forgotten, but not Gone (or something better), for those who have largely faded from view, but remain more subtly evil, for example Jayjg (T-C-L-K-R-D)
and SlimVirgin (T-C-L-K-R-D)
. As re IronDuke (T-C-L-K-R-D)
, I second that eructation.

Complete agreement on that one. The kooks have the "Tony Sidaway Drama Queen Award" and the "Busted Urinal Award" either of which would be a perfect fit for BB. Perhaps the "Mumbai Kid" would be a fitting accolade for him.

I think they deserve it for their extreme political ideology, their jeopardizing any credibility the WMF may have, and for being just overall dirt bags who will say whatever to defend stolen porn images possibly of children while simultaneously accusing Google of being evil for taking pictures of their homes without permission.
Pinning that C.F. on the Commons admins and stewards as a class? I call BS. Please read before responding. I specified those who abused their ops. There were many - those who wheel warred in deletions, blocking those who complained, blocking those who merely pointed out that allowing pedophiles to run rampant was a problem, etc. Hell, one admin even replaced the main page with a cuss filled rant against Jimbo for daring to remove the excessive porn. If you think that is acceptable behavior, then you can refer to such mentality as exactly why you were removed from being a Steward.

How about Baseball Bugs? He is everywhere on AN/I and on various arbcommy areas. Saying much, adding nothing. Or perhaps he deserves a special-achievement award of some kind? I think that manic WikiLawyers, Porn Protectors, and Knob Polishers can all be subsumed under the general DICK category. I don't want to make things too elaborate, and plus the construction of the actual voting poll is extremely labor-intensive as it is. However, I am sympathetic to Gomi's comments about Slim and Jayjg-- perhaps some lifetime achievement awards may be in order. Those aren't submitted to the voters -- it's in the hands of the Program and Catering Committee or Loya Jirga. I'm sure that Slim would be honored to share that award with the only previous recipient, PoetGuy.

Two Dicks of Distinction were a pair of former mop-swingers that went out with bizarre displays of self-destructive behavior: Tanthalas39 and Rlvese. This will probably be the last that we see of them (under those names, at least). Our man Coffee also retired in 2010, albeit not as dramatically, but he was a wee dick in the months leading up to his sign-off. And, of course, Cirt, for reasons that do not require repeating. The Straight Shooter Award: Juliancolton. Last year, we had a lot of fun at Juliancolton's expense, but a check at his recent contribution record shows that he is dramatically easing off the Wiki-addiction and is playing on Wikipedia in a far more mature and measured output. Today is also his birthday, so happy 17th to a genuine diamond! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Cojones: Our favorite paisan, Giano, for injecting some much-needed oxygen into the ghastly dull Arbcom election.

Hold on. Does anyone else think we should review the past DICK awards, so we can at least be aware someone is getting a double award? If nothing else, it will help to maintain a bit of "historical balance" (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/yecch.gif) . I'd feel better if certain people were excluded from winning multiple awards. SV is already out, both for behaving herself in 2010 and for being such a popular pest in the previous 4 years. I would say similar things for both JzG and Gerard. And Cla68, Thatcher, Alison already got kudos as straight shooters. Should the following be excluded from subsequent award votes? And what about Kevin? 2007 awardsDICK winner: tie, Cyde and SV Runner-Up: Jayjg Miss Incongeniality: SV Straight Shooter: Tawker 2008 awardsDICK: JzG Runner-Up: same Miss Incongeniality: same Tag Team: Crum375 and SV Straight Shooter: Giano Straight Shooter runner-up: Alison 2009 awardsDICK: tie, Gerard and FT2 Runner-Up: Gerard Miss Incongeniality: tie, Elonka and JzG Tag Team: Odd nature, Salmon of Doubt, KillerChihuahua, Jim62sch, Mu301 and FeloniousMonk Straight Shooter: Thatcher Straight Shooter runner-up: same Cojones: Cla68 Cojones runner-up: same 2010 awardsDICK: David Gerard Runner-Up: same Miss Incongeniality: same Tag Team: SV and Will Beback Straight Shooter: Alison Cojones: Cla68 This post has been edited by EricBarbour:

Furthermore, I absolutely think Cirt should be put up for the DICK award. In the past 2 years, Cirt has successfully defamed an unknown number of people in their BLPs, simply for association with the Church of Scientology, Transcendental Meditation, or EST. Plus, don't forget that Cirt has been caught doing what appears to be paid editing for restaurants, and nobody on WP said boo to him/her/whatever. I can't think of many other admins who have done such a good job of maintaining the secrecy of their real identity, while abusing Wikipedia's broken and corrupt administration system. Jayjg is the only other one who has pulled that off for any substantial length of time.

That can be parsed one of two ways and I guess you parsed it one, and I the other. As for replacing the main page with a cuss filled rant, of course that's not acceptable behavior. If you want to pursue this further I suggest a separate thread.

This is the appropriate place to bring up such things and you know it, so stop trollng. Herschelkrustofsky, please add Lar to the list for being a complete douche who is trying to defend the undefendable. Even in his castrated state he is still the same outrageous prick. I think he should be next to Gmaxwell and the others. This post has been edited by Ottava:

I can see your point, but it's important to remember that we are competing with the Oscars, the Tonys, the Emmys, and the Grammys. There is no tradition at those pageants that forbids a strong contestant from winning year after year. Plus, we have many new members of the academy here who have not yet exercised their franchise. If they want the exquisite thrill of casting a vote for David Gerard, I don't want to stand in their way. On the other hand, it would be disappointing if the thing got too monotonous. For example, are Cla68 and Giano the only rank-and-file Wikipedians who possess any Cojones? If this were the year he ran for ArbCom, I would nominate the Fat Man, but his latest activity is mainly just rambunctious.

Which list? Miss Incongeniality seems about right. That is where all the people trying to justify the porn or defend those who abused their ops to defend it belong. Add Gmaxwell, Thogo, Shoemaker's Holiday, Kameraad Pjotr, Mercy, Abigor, Mattbuck, etc. Or you could just list all the Commons porno fiends as one big tag team, as they did take over the Commons IRC channel to organize their offense.

As a matter of fact... Malleus Fatuorum has made a Wiki career of stepping on the right toes. He deserves praise. A real under-the-radar type is the Australian editor Johnfos, who fights a good fight on renewable energy issues. For the other categories: Dick of Distinction: TenPoundHammer (you don't need to ask why). Tag-Team: Risker and Rlvese, due primarily to Risker's slimy block of an IP editor that called attention to Rlvese's plagiarism.
