I'm not really certain as to whether this is a serious nomination. Has Lar actually litigated vexatiously?

Only if he drinks his prune juice.

Oh, for Ms. Incongeniality: Dr. Blofeld has become a tiresome bore with his temper-heavy retirements and his casual return to Wiki-obsessions. It could be overlooked if he was contributing something of value, rather than overloading the site with hundreds of stubs about every village in sub-Saharan Africa.

For his comment to Kohs on WikiSource, I think Wikisource admin Inductiveload a.k.a. InDiaperLoad deserves some research for Miss Incongeniality.

Also for DICK: OrangeMike, the original Annoying Orange!

Seconded. Eric has mentioned User:Ronz. Who is he? Any enemy of Eric's is an enemy of mine.

No, he doesn't rise to the level of a dick of "distinction".

I'm surprised no one has nominated ScienceApologist/Joshua P. Schroeder for Miss Incongeniality. I know no other WP editor who more deserves the title of all-around Jackass than that guy. How does he ever expect to get a job with what comes up when you Google his name?

Do you remember the stories about when the "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" book came out, that some kids would yell "Dumbledore dies!" at the other kids waiting in line to buy the book, ruining the surprise for them? There are very few WP editors who I think are big enough jerks to act that way. I don't think Will BeBack or William M. Connolley would do something like that. ScienceApologist, however, based on what I've seen, is capable of acting that way.

This is why I think the DICK award is a bit, um, redundant.

There are so many dicks on wiki, you can't really single one out for special opprobrium.
Look further into AN/I or SPI or a few other areas, and you'll find one dick after another.
3RR is a daily magical giant dickfest.

How does one judge them all, except by recent well-known atrocities? That's how the DICK
award was always done in the past, and it's obviously the only possible way. Otherwise
you'll be handing out Special Achievement awards by the armload.

Sounds like a keeper, although I found myself oddly unmoved by the Harry Potter Spoiler analogy. ScienceApologist has been getting very good buzz around the Academy for some time now.

I add my vote to Otava's.

Most group members here seem to have little or no experience on Commons, and so may find it hard to believe that many Commons administrators are worse than WP. Incredible, but I think that is true. Certainly, the behavior of many Commons administrators during the controversy over their abundant porn files was particularly deplorable and deserves recognition.

The group presently listed as the "Porn Protection Cabal" -- is that comprised of Commons admins?

Pretty much. Most if not all are at least somewhat active on WP too.

Pains me to admit it but I agree with Kwork about some of the admins (and "freedom" trumps everything regular users)... It's like they don't get why posting a pic of a possible minor that likely didn't consent is so ... unreasonable. I despair. I mean really, get the proof of age and the permission recorded and it's all good. Is that so much to ask?

Apparently I am notorious as a WR user, as I get proxy and assistance requests all the time. Go figure.

Anyway, I have received an anonymous request to submit the following names for the Tag-team Event

I think William Connolley deserves another shot at the DICK award, too. This was a big year for him.

Is the admin requirement being waived? Or is ex sufficient?

Recently defrocked admins are acceptable nominees, according to last year's decision by the Program and Catering Committee. Often, their defrocking is linked to a particular stellar role they have played.

Not sure if Kevin (T-C-L-K-R-D) is still an administrator, but he definitely deserves at least a nomination for Straight Shooter for his role in Wikipedia:Summary motion regarding biographies of living people deletions (T-H-L-K-D).

I think I shall refrain from participating in the other categories, if you don't mind.

Seconded. While we're at it, The Wordsmith comes to mind as well, for BLPs and for his actions relating to CC. Ditto for LHvU regarding CC. They both took a lot of abuse but tried hard to do the right thing.

This chap Ottava is arguing with. Should he be regarded as a dick or a straight shooter?

Anyone who argues with Ottava for more than three minutes is, by definition, a dick.

Oh oh. But it's so addictive. Kinda like banging your head against a wall. Especially when you stop.

I'm going to assume you mean LessHeard vanU. Please correct me if I jump to conclusions here.

For tag team, Jrtayloriv and The Four Deuces. These two editors help each other in promoting a left-wing POV across numerous articles in Wikipedia. Jrtayloriv was the one trying to own the United States and state terrorism article about which I started a WR thread here. There's nothing necessarily wrong, of course, with having left-wing views, just wrong to try to promote them using Wikipedia.

Why?

That should be Scott MacDonald (T-C-L-K-R-D) and The Wordsmith (T-C-L-K-R-D) .

Okey - dokey.

I'm frankly concerned that our good friend NewYorkBrad (T-C-L-K-R-D) is not represented in any of the nominations. Straight shooter -- not so much. Cohones, no, that's not it either. What award category combines the illusion of good intentions, mixes it with tl;dr commentary, a lifer attitude to the Wik, and boils it all down into a complete lack of followthrough or (indeed) any meaningful accomplishment? Impotent Rage For the Machine? No, that's not it. Words fail me.

On a similar note, if my suggestion for the Forgotten but not Gone category had been taken up, I might nominate Alison (T-C-L-K-R-D) , who continues to enforce absurd Wiki-policy, then hangs out and kvetches about it.

No sense leaving the WR members out, lest we are accused of favoritism!

Go back to ED.

How about "Most Tedious" for those with the longest rambles on bureaucratic related matters?

Brad, FT2, Abd, etc.




And can LessHeardvanU be added to the dick nom, as always, since he kinda deserves it?

I've not been there in over a month but hey - rant on...

“Waiting For God.win” (to step ↓)

Oh wait, an idyll whose time has come …

Jon

Are those vexatious litigants?

Wow, a whole month.

Q: What do you call a guy who hasn't been on Stromfront for a month?

A: A racist.

good one

Jon

Guess I didn't want to help the wee-ones navigate there.

I nominate GlassBeadGame for Miss Incongeniality.

Remember that the contestant must be evaluated for activity on-Wiki.

I just read this article, which mentions Encyclopedia Dramatica in the last sentence.

Here's my advice to you, Alison. As a sysop and checkuser on ED, you should go back and visit ED for the purpose of flushing ED's LOIC article down the drain, and make sure it stays flushed. If you get away with this, then flush the aboriginal article, as well as the revenge article written to punish the Australian citizen who complained to the Australian authorities. Then resign your sysop and checkuser status at ED, flush your user page, and never go back.

You've come down on me for doxing an underage Wikipediot, but here ED is enticing EDiots to first commit one felony (DDoS with LOIC), and then commit a second felony (lying to the FBI). You are not being very protective of children by participating in ED. Even Martha Stewart knows better than to lie to the FBI (she did time for this). This is the worst possible advice ED could give the basement-dwellers who read ED.

ED's defense is that this "free speech" is protected because it's all satire. Such a defense might be reasonable if the readership is educated enough to recognize it as satire. In the case of ED, however, satire passes over into outright hate speech, simply because ED readers are uneducated, inexperienced in the real world, and irresponsible.

ED is an attractive nuisance for children and other stupid people, and has no right to exist.

Awe come on H. You know Wikipedians pursue their revenge-fest across the internet and at times into homes and workplaces. You can't expect them to not to honor me just because I haven't touched their website even once over the past year.

{{citation needed}}

You need the "citation" and have no right to put any such burden on me or anyone else who doesn't use Wikipedia, ass-wipe. But I know you just can't see life without Wikipedia.

Brad's not one to leave his member out -- he always remembers to zip his fly!

If you want, I will nominate him for DICK of Distinction. Not that he did anything in the past year that was truly dickish. But I would think of it like Al Pacino getting the Oscar for "Scent of a Woman" -- not his best work, but a hat-tip for a lifetime's achievement.

Such a charmer.

I merely point out that your claim not to edit is just that, a claim. My real identity is out there and yours isn't. Your choice, and I support it, but you don't get to make claims without acknowledging they are just that, claims, and nothing more. Normally I'd take your word for it but namecalling tends to reduce my credulity.

HTH, HAND.

For some reason your post made me want to see Dog Day Afternoon (T-H-L-K-D) again ...

But back to the subject at hand, the problem is that Brad isn't generally a dick. He's just a tedious old fart hanging around for no apparent reason. He has a position of power which he uses to absolutely no effect whatsoever. He affects a patina of reasonableness (and for all I know, is actually reasonable), but accomplishes nothing. Brad on WP:BIO - zilch. Brad on Wikiporn - nada. Brad on "User:Malcolm Schosha" - zip. While someone on Wikipedia not using power for evil is a novelty, it isn't a very interesting one.

Brad's less like Al Pacino and more like Alan Hale, Sr. (T-H-L-K-D). The guy was in 235 movies and if anyone remembers him at all (not likely), it's because he was the Skipper's Dad. He's Inspector Clouseau (T-H-L-K-D), only not funny. Perhaps it's an occupational hazard for attorneys. Frank Bednarz (Cool Hand Luke (T-C-L-K-R-D) ) ought to be careful: JD + WP = Tedious impotence. There's no pill for that.

Do you understand, asshole, that I am not asking for anything, not asserting that I am a worthy Wikipedian, do not wish to return, and am not prevented from doing so in any event except by my distaste for Wikipedia and Wikipedians? I don't need your ass-clown use of nerdy Wikipedian jargon that just screams "loser." The default condition, enjoyed by the vast majority of mankind, is "I don't edit," which requires no proof.
