Welcome, members of the Academy!

For those newcomers who have registered during the past year, we invite you to read this history of the pageant and its hallowed traditions.

The categories in which Wikipedia admins and peons will compete are the following:

WP:DICK of Distinction, for the most appallingly corrupt performance as an Admin

The Tag-Team event

Miss Incongeniality, for the most colorful and persistent violations of WP:CIVIL

The Straight Shooter award, for honest admins

Cojones de latón, for non-admins who have displayed wit and valor in combat with the Cabal

The winner of the grand sweepstakes WP:DICK of Distinction honors will take home this magnificent memento, which we like to call "The Jimbo®":

Now, please bear with us as we explain the unnecessarily complex voting procedures:

For the WP:DICK contestants, each member of the academy may cast votes for both DICK and Runner-Up (a condition which is said to respond well to traditional antibiotics.) The DICK vote counts as 2 points, while the Runner-Up counts as one. Thus, each voter has 3 points total to distribute among the contestants. Academy members may award all three points to one contestant by voting for him or her in both categories, or split the points between two contestants. Points will be tallied from the two categories, and the contestant with the most points wins, with the 2nd Place going to the contestant with the next highest point total. Got it? The same formula used to apply to the Straight Shooter and Cojones de latón categories, but this year the Program and Catering Committee was demanding overtime pay, so we scrapped that and all categories other than DICK will be simply one vote per category.

Ready... set... VOTE!

Electioneering within 100 feet of the polling place is encouraged, so feel free to post a paean to your candidate of choice, extolling his or her exquisite qualifications and achievements

And Wild Bill pulls into the lead position for Runner-Up DICK. I've been rooting for him. Meanwhile, the members of the Academy are going nuts for Cla68 in the Cojones division.

I did not vote for myself in the cajones category, there are many candidates listed there who deserve it more than me. I voted for G-Dett, because she is such a good writer that I hope that she hasn't damaged her professional reputation or career potential through her connection with Wikipedia and her association with unethical jackasses like Jayjg. Most of those listed in the straight shooters category also deserve strong consideration. Too bad we can't have more than one. I voted for Mr. Connolley for Ms Incongeniality. He has worked really hard for that honor during his five-plus years of involvement with Wikipedia, and it would be a shame if he wasn't recognized for it. I would have suggested that Mr. Gerard be left off of the ballot this year, but then he went screaming to Daddy (MGodwin) when he was reprimanded by the ArbCom recently. Nice work David!

As far as tag team is concerned. I'm aware that Slim and Will made it abundantly clear after I posted the Eurasian Land Bridge article that they have it in for Don LaRouche. Consider, however, how impressive the team effort to control the Global Warming topic is, including defaming global warming skeptics in their BLPs, making sure that Michael Crichton's name isn't mentioned anywhere, chasing away newbies who made the mistake of trying to NPOV those articles, and ensuring that any content RfC's contrary to their positions went down in flames. I would say that their diligent efforts rival those of Jayjg's pro-Israel POV in spades, because they're still at it, while many in Jayjg's cabal have been invited to find another hobby.
