Not sure if Kevin (T-C-L-K-R-D) is still an administrator, but he definitely deserves at least a nomination for Straight Shooter for his role in Wikipedia:Summary motion regarding biographies of living people deletions (T-H-L-K-D).

I think I shall refrain from participating in the other categories, if you don't mind.

Seconded. While we're at it, The Wordsmith comes to mind as well, for BLPs and for his actions relating to CC. Ditto for LHvU regarding CC. They both took a lot of abuse but tried hard to do the right thing.

This chap Ottava is arguing with. Should he be regarded as a dick or a straight shooter?

Anyone who argues with Ottava for more than three minutes is, by definition, a dick.

Oh oh. But it's so addictive. Kinda like banging your head against a wall. Especially when you stop.

For tag team, Jrtayloriv and The Four Deuces. These two editors help each other in promoting a left-wing POV across numerous articles in Wikipedia. Jrtayloriv was the one trying to own the United States and state terrorism article about which I started a WR thread here. There's nothing necessarily wrong, of course, with having left-wing views, just wrong to try to promote them using Wikipedia.

I'm frankly concerned that our good friend NewYorkBrad (T-C-L-K-R-D) is not represented in any of the nominations. Straight shooter -- not so much. Cohones, no, that's not it either. What award category combines the illusion of good intentions, mixes it with tl;dr commentary, a lifer attitude to the Wik, and boils it all down into a complete lack of followthrough or (indeed) any meaningful accomplishment? Impotent Rage For the Machine? No, that's not it. Words fail me.

On a similar note, if my suggestion for the Forgotten but not Gone category had been taken up, I might nominate Alison (T-C-L-K-R-D) , who continues to enforce absurd Wiki-policy, then hangs out and kvetches about it.

No sense leaving the WR members out, lest we are accused of favoritism!

How about "Most Tedious" for those with the longest rambles on bureaucratic related matters?

Brad, FT2, Abd, etc.




And can LessHeardvanU be added to the dick nom, as always, since he kinda deserves it? smile.gif
