Well, it's that time of year again, when we gather together to recognize the best and brightest of Wikipedia. But it's important to remember that the WP:DICK of Distinction® is not all glitz and glamor. It's putting in those 27-hour edit benders to insure that your POV is imposed not just on one article, but on a whole category of articles; it's the sheer grit and determination required to ban an opponent for violating a rule that you just self-righteously violated yourself, and then announce to the whole community that you did this for the good of the project. These are the qualities of true DICKliness.

So, in case any explanation is required, the WP:DICK award goes to the admin who has most consistently and egregiously abused his or her authority to further an agenda, or just for the sheer thrill of oppressing others. The Miss Incongeniality award goes for the most blatant and creative violations of WP:CIVIL. The Tag-Team Event award goes for teamwork in gaming the system, evading WP:3RR and creating bogus consensus. And finally, the Straight Shooter award is for the admin who actually plays by the rules, has a sense of justice, and has the cojones to confront the cabal.

The times they are a-changin' at Wikipedia, and this year the Straight Shooter competition has a bigger field of contestants and may be the event to watch. In the past, there were only a handful of nominees, but this year there are many stellar prospects. In this race, and in the WP:DICK competition, each member of the academy may cast a vote worth two points, and a vote worth one point (for runner-up,) since there are so many qualified nominees. The winner will be the contestant with the highest combined vote total from both categories. So, use your three points wisely, and may the best cyber-persona win.

A final note: electioneering is encouraged, so add a post extolling the virtues of your favorite candidate, and read the campaign statements before you vote. We particularly encourage statements by the candidates themselves (we know you have an account here.)
