Cool Hand Luke seems to have the experience for the job, being in the project since almost the beginning. But looking at his responses to the questions, it seemed way too controversial, including one statement in which he will desyrop a admin working for the OTRS if he wheel-wars and another which says that he wants to abolish [[WP:SOCK]]. Other replies to questions are just as poor. Those kind of statements will if a voter will even look at the questions first before voting. This one has been the shocker candidacy so far, what do you guys think.

QUOTE(Aloft @ Thu 11th December 2008, 9:22am) QUOTE(Neil @ Thu 11th December 2008, 4:16am) This e-mail was sent by user "Cool Hand Luke" on the English Wikipedia to user "Fish and karate". Font trickery, perhaps? No. And the above text was a direct copy and paste from the email footer, so you can judge that for yourself. If Alison wants to check, the email was sent 04 December 2008 01:08 (yes, I don't check my wikipedia inbox very often at the moment)

Font trickery, perhaps? Not exactly sure what you mean by that, but the originating e-mail address was also Luke's actual e-mail. He means the likes of using a lower case L to look like an upper case i, and that kind of thing, or even fancier stuff with unicode.

How'd I ever get to be an administrator?

I don't edit Wikipedia, so I've never seen what those emails look like. I wasn't sure if it's possible to "forge" by the same method that people sometimes use for impersonating account names, like alternate characters and such. I thought maybe someone had created an impersonation account and used it to send email, intending to frame CHL. EDIT: Gah, beaten to the punch. This post has been edited by Aloft:

GBG, I'm sincerely unhappy with the way the site is currently run. If it was ever politically opportune to attack WR, it was last week when I was swimming in anti-WR votes. I'm going to keep pushing you on this matter, because in spite of what you say, it's not pandering. If you would like me to remove the quote, all you have to do is ask. No, it's an actual email. Because Neil gave me the permission here, I've posted it there, along with an explanation.

Incidentally, I never did understand why Littleunknownadmin was unhappy with my answers. The WP:SOCK thing, for example, was in response to a question about what policy I would remove if I could. I'm not sure what policy would make him feel more comfortable, especially because I explained that I dislike SOCK because I think it's too much of a pro-sock policy.
Nor did I understand why "being in the project since almost the beginning" would qualify anyone for the office. If it did, AnthonyQBachler and the incumbents would be faring better. Finally, Feb 2004 is three years from the site's beginning, so I find that characterization to be an exaggeration (although I understand it's earlier than most users).
Littleunknownadmin posted this before I was "out," and I didn't want to bump it, to say the least.
