[Eppur si muove]

So what's the spread betting on the number of new I/P editors to be placed under editing restrictions before the end of the year? And how many will really be old friends returning?

Tough call, since it seems Jimbo thinks it's not a problem.

When he jumps in, it's kinda like throwing a rodeo clown on a dirt bike onto the Kentucky Derby track.

In the I/P area Jimbo lost every bit of cred (if he ever had any) years ago....when he appointed Jayjg to arb.com...even if there were others who had more votes than Jayjg.

Someone should ask Jimbo if he doesn´t want to appoint Jayjg (now topic-banned from the I/P area and stripped of his CU-powers) ..to arb.com again!

As far as I know Jayjg's topic ban is expired, but he does not seem to have returned to editing I/P articles. But I wish you would stop whining about Jayjg, because I saw him outvoted by the 'P' team many times in I/P editing disputes.

Hmm, I thought it was idef.

But Kwork, I agree: Jayjg is not the topic here. The topic it Jimbos judgement when it comes to the I/P-area; which has been, shall we say, less than stellar.

There were a host of editors (from both teams) topic banned in the arbcom decision. I think they had the right to request their ban be lifted after six months, but that is just my memory and I could be wrong. I was not a party in the case and had not edited any of the articles involve in that.

Jayjg got singled out for tough treatment, and had some of his administrative powers removed - such as checkuser - even though there was nothing to show he had ever misused that....in contrast to Lar.

Sigh. Try again: Jayjg is not the topic here. Nor any of the other "players". The topic it Jimbos judgement when it comes to the I/P-area.

None of the other "players" in this arena/or arb.com decision had been granted such powers --by Jimbo.

I have also been trying to find a video of Jimbo wich he made about "peace in the Middle East"...or something like that. I believe it was made before his appearance at the World Economic forum, (in Sharm), a couple of years ago.

I cannot find it now, but I recall it as quite embarrassing: Jimbo showed as much knowledge about the Middle East as an 8-year old. Hence, I find SB_Johnny´s description of him in this setting as quite accurate. Unfortunately.
