I would have had a lot to say about this if I got in on it earlier. This will probably rank right up there in my list of favorite wikipedia scandals.
We need Durova for arbcom bumper stickers.
This has helped me learn a little bit more about Durova or reinforce what I thought I knew... I knew that Durova took Wikipedia very seriously and was self-aggrandizing, but I did not realize that she was so stupid. Of course, this may be due to extreme Wiki intoxication, which is usually followed by burnout and a heart felt 3 page long retiring note. However, she seems to be hanging right in there trying to make a name for herself in Jimbo's dysfunctional community and
craving to show the world that she is good at something. Unknown to her, she is becoming a joke to a wider audience than before.
Although I fear that she does not have the cadre of ass kissers that some other editors have; therefore, she probably has no shot at an Arbcom seat. Highly unfortunate! (IMG:

I've come to the conclusion: the
silver bullet that would eject Durova from the project is a famous Jimbo's one-liner, something along the lines of "find a new hobby" or "what the fuck is wrong with you?" In her mind, Jimbo is appreciative and sympathetic to her contributions...but what she fails to realize is Jimbo is not capable of appreciating the altruistic fools editing his enyclopedia. I think she'll probably find that out.
