Nominations for the 2008 WP:DICK of Distinction awards pageant, Nominations now are closed Options

[Herschelkrustofsky]

The Jimbo
This has been an exciting year for Wikipedia criticism, and I anticipate some surprises in the way the Academy votes this time around. For example, the upset winner of last last year's vote, Cyde, stunned many editors this year when he confronted SlimVirgin on the abusive sock caper, causing many to doubt his fundamental DICKness. Also, many newer admins have risen to prominence due to exciting new exploits in DICKery (Durova comes to mind.) So, without further ado, I'd like to open the nominations for this year's pageant, which will be held entirely online with no studio audience, because no one here wants to cross picket lines.

I am pleased to announce a new category, the Tag-Team event, since this is a particular Wikipedia skill that has become highly developed and worthy of recognition. The other, traditional categories are WP:DICK of Distinction for most abusive admin, Miss Incongeniality for rampant violations of WP:CIVIL (note: nominees of all genders are welcome,) and the Straight Shooter award for Honest Admins. Please make your nominations with a brief description of the exploits of the nominee. When the nominations have been made, I will set up a poll to determine who will receive the coveted JIMBO awards.

I am opening the nominations for WP:DICK of Distinction by taking those admins who have accumulated enough threads about them at the Review to qualify for their own sub-forums:

WP:DICK of Distinction

SlimVirgin
JzG
Jayjg
Fred Bauder
Durova
JoshuaZ
MONGO (is he still an admin? if not, I'll remove his name)

Miss Incongeniality

Tag-team (only one nominee needs to be an admin)

Straight Shooter (I'm going to list last year's top vote-getters here, as they have accumulated a lot of good will. I'm also adding Giano because of his acclaimed run at the arbcom.)

Well, surely Durova is a candidate for Miss Incongeniality this year.

I would like to suggest a new category, which I would title something like "Best Most Servile Minion". I am thinking of the relationship that (e.g.) Crum375 has with SlimVirgin.

Another new category we might want to consider (if there are any other nominees): "Zeal of the Converted Seal of Approval" -- Kelly Martin seems like the leading candidate there. It's for someone who has crossed over from the dark side and now allies with the forces of good (i.e. us).

Jayjg's "Messianic" cabal certainly deserves inclusion in the "Tag-team" category.

(Updated).

Most Malicious Lie of 2007 from a Wikipedia Administrator

Nomination : "I, Ben Hallert of Springfield, OR, strongly oppose this unblocking [of Daniel Brandt]. He leads a group of people who have terrorized editors and admins at their houses, stalked them at their work, and (as noted above) even in airports while traveling. He is an unrepetant slimy person, and the community has clearly indicated that unblocking him is absolutely unacceptable." - User:Chairboy 04:19, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Notice the beady eyes!

To my utter astonishment, I find myself nominating Lar for admin straight-shooter, following his Damascene conversion on Wikipedia Review in general and Poetlister in particular.

Perhaps we could make an exception for Miss Incongeniality. What do others think?


OK, here's what we have so far. I've placed the contestants in alphabetical order in order to be fair. I have also nominated Will Beback for Dick of Distinction. He is seldom as flamboyant as some of the other nominees, but his tireless, relentlessly consistent 24/7 DICKsmanship deserves recognition.

Oh dear!! And after that ringing endorsement, he's prolly burned through 1,000 CabalCreditsâ„¢

OK, if he wants I'll delete the post and insult him.

Yeah. It'll cost, though

MONGO is no longer an admin.

[thekohser]

Hersh, you forgot

-- -- Nominating Durova and Jehochman

for Tag-Team. Ironically, Jehochman is the admin now, and Durova the lowly editor.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

MONGO is no longer an admin.

OK, I've removed him.

Hersh, you forgot Durova and Jehochman for Tag-Team.

OK, I've added them. Now, we need someone who has followed Jayjg's career to nominate him and one or more of his buddies in the tag-team event. I don't know of any reason, by the way, that a tag-team has to be limited to two people. This isn't the WWF.

Don't forget "RYULONG", "LUNA SANTIN", and
also you add a special category...

I don't think Der Hexer is the youngest admin.
