Whenever I see Kurt say something disruptive or funny on Wikipedia, I sometimes laugh and say out loud, in a low-toned serenade: "Kurt...!" It's time for another celebration of Wikipedia's most hated character.

Kurt is going for Kelly Martin's record number of oppose votes. He may not know it, and he may not care, but if he stays in the election for the full 14 days, he is virtually guaranteed to be the most opposed candidate for any position of trust in the entire history of Wikipedia. The prospect was not lost on Tombomp (oppose number 174), who says "I'd prefer to see him gain a record on number of opposes." EconomicsGuy dutifully points to Kelly Martin's record of 263 opposes (against 41 supports).

Move over Kelly, you are no longer the most hated person on Wikipedia! "Kurt...!"

Moulton, someone is pwning all your ArbCom candidate questions b/c you are a banned user.

I largely agree with this. But in this instance, I was using the word "'user'" -- in quotation marks -- in the sense that you had used it earlier in this thread. You stated that you were not longer a "user," which I reasonably understood to mean that you were no longer editing the site (which at least under this account name is clearly true), not that you were no longer reading the site (about which I could have no knowledge one way or the other).


Can't a checkuser see who logs in and when?

Brilliant answer.

So that means a checkuser can "see who logs in and when!"
