[Herschelkrustofsky]

Happy Boxing Day, everyone! The annual "WP:DICK of Distinction" awards pageant is a semi-hallowed tradition here at the Review (new members, read this for some background.) To compete for the grand WP:DICK of Distinction prize, the contestant must be an active admin or admin defrocked over the past year.

Here are the categories for nomination:

WP:DICK of Distinction -- for all-around rottenness by an admin

The Tag-Team Event

Miss Incongeniality

and for the good guys...

the Straight Shooter award for honest admins

and the Cojones de latón, for the non-admin who has distinguished himself in combat with the cabal

WP:DICK of Distinction -- Tiptoety (T-C-L-K-R-D) 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.

[Lar]

As in past years, once the poll is set up, please make sure that voters can abstain in some categories. My votes will only be for the good guys.

Obvious nom for Cojones, as in past years, is Cla68.

Obvious nom for Straight Shooter, as in past years, is Doc Glasgow/Scott Macdonald.

I agree entirely with your nomination of the artist formerly known as Doc glasgow (T-C-L-K-R-D) , for his ground-breaking role in confronting the BLP marauders.

In the WP:DICK category, I would like to nominate Georgewilliamherbert (T-C-L-K-R-D) , who has long gone unrecognized as a versatile and devious hitman in the service of numerous POV-pushing rouge admins. Tiptoety is also a good call.

[Peter Damian]

I love your Sgt Pepper collage. The one of Gerard is particularly good.

I nominate Sandstein for dick of distinction, but second your choices of GWH and Tiptoety ('a true brown log to rise to the surface of the Wikipedia cesspool'). I would nominate Victim of Censorship for cojones, but is there a requirement for a 'fixed abode' over there?

I love your Sgt Pepper collage.

It's actually Frank Zappa's collage, with a few relevant insertions.


I think that IronDuke (T-C-L-K-R-D) is a natural for Miss Incongeniality.

[gomi]

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.

We need a Knob-polisher of Distinction. Somebody with cheeks like beefsteak and the salivary glands of an elephant. Someone who swallows.

I nominate QuackGuru, prime fluffer and buffer of Jimbo's bio and TALK pages.

I know he doesn't fit into any categories, but Baseball Bugs has to be one of the most worthless, irritating drama whores in existence.

I think you guys have Tiptoety all wrong.

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.

[It's the blimp, Frank]

I'm thinking Smashville for DICK. He spends a lot of time taunting editors who make unblock requests.

[Ottava]

I don't think there is really any Wikipedian that deserves it this year.

Instead, can we give it to all of the Commons admin and the Stewards who abused their ops to try and keep the excessive porn?


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.

Vic, would you care to disclose your WP username?

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!

Cojones: Our favorite paisan, Giano, for injecting some much-needed oxygen into the ghastly dull Arbcom election.
