In our recent poll, we adjudged Raul654 to be Wikipedia's second worst administrator (after Slim Virgin, tied for 2nd with Snowspinner). Here we are, quite rightly having lots of information investigating Slim Virgin (moreso lately than overall, but overall still having more on Slim Virgin than anyone else). And whilst we have also had a half decent amount on Snowspinner, we've had practically nothing on Raul654.

Lir wrote a wonderful piece about Raul654, who was a major part of Lir's criticism of Wikipedia. We've agreed that he is probably a major part of the cabal, if not their leader. He is a high ranking administrator, bureaucrat and long-term Arb Com member, with meta admin status. He has added Lir's criticism to the spam black list, as well as Wikipedia Review.com (which was reversed by Eloquence eventually, but Lir's was not). He also added Wikitruth to the spam black list, which was later reversed. When I spoke to him on meta (the only time I've ever talked to him), he was rude, obnoxious, arrogant and very false.

So what do we have on this guy? If we can do that much to expose Slim Virgin, surely Raul654 deserves at least half as much attention. We need to catch up.

Why precisely is he such a bad administrator? Why would Wikipedia be better off without him? Why should Jimbo desysop him?

User:Wizardman blocked Raul654 for breaking 3RRR for 12 hours on the Global Warming article.

I thought he'd get away with it but he didn't.
