Cassianto's diva quit essay is rather, um, incoherent. ....To date, I have written 22 featured articles. Each of those has taken me around two months to research and author and has cost me, on average, around £170 per article.....(one of Joseph Grimaldi's books cost me £620); https://archive.org/de...

Kudpung has resigned his tools. Surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... %3AKudpung

It is painfully amusing to witness his severe lack of clue here (and in general). He probably thought it was Bishonen all along, hence the "I see, And will that e-mail stand up to Arbcom scrutiny? " and "You may wish to consider keeping it intact with its code and raw headers." What exactly does he ...

Now Kudpung is having a field day on Bishonen's page regarding User:The Lady Catherine de Burgh/A fool's guide to the 2015 Arbcom election https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABishonen&type=revision&diff=695195426&oldid=695194925 Hi. I noticed you recently deleted this page. Could ...

The only interesting thing in that RfA is that Andrew D finds ever more ingenious reasons to oppose. If anyone has contributed anything to RFA reform, it is Colonel Warden. RFAs having his support carries more weight than the candidate having zero opposes. I like him and his voting rationales. :hea...

I believe his splits his time between the UK and Thailand.

Yes, he has that look about him.

Err, what exactly are you insinuating? If it's what I suspect, it's a pretty low blow.

How is having a Linguistic Globetrotter look a low blow?

It would be wise to adopt a different strategy than the WMF.

Looks like a great candidate for a long dig. I've got a soccer game to go coach, but preliminary searches are turning up some pretty odd connections. Nah, nothing interesting there. btw is there a chance of Gorman actually making it into arbcom, given all the drama? Seriously asking. Yes, there's a...

User:Reaper Eternal/Election thoughts 2015 I have had the pleasure of many positive interactions with Kudpung. He is a very experienced administrator with a thoughtful demeanor. His temperament is exactly the type I want to see on ArbCom. Easy support. Yup. Rooting for him. http://i.imgur.com/tWFaA...

The second one is not him.

3 female candidates! Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Candidates/Keilana/Statement (T-H-L)

btw is there a chance of Gorman actually making it into arbcom, given all the drama? Seriously asking.

Kudpung left a particularly nasty message on Eric Corbett's talkpage and then took a month off editing Wikipedia. When Eric called him out on it, he simply vanished. He is smart, I give him that - he just disappeared and disassociated himself with BARC when it got torpedoed. Read Wikipedia_talk:Gui...

Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Candidates/Kudpung/Statement I’ve been waiting for this one and would very much like him to be on Arbcom just to see him bring down the whole committee, paving the way for much needed reform. His behavior in the Xtools mailing list is nothing ...

Seen her around, seems to be sensible.

You can't make this shit up. Hello list admins, due to http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/11/12/mailman-security-incident/ we have reset all list admin passwords. You should have already received a new pass in the mail earlier. I just wanted to add that we also changed all _moderator_ passwords, but as ...

Many aren't admins at all and are listed due to glitches in the logging process. For eg. Amophar (T-C-L) a blocked sock is featured. Protection log

One of the key things to note about Kudpung is that you need to pay attention to what he does and what the results are, not what he says. Specifically, despite claiming to try to "reform RFA", the actual effect of his actions has been to defend and entrench the current system. If you pay attention,...

I know he is "well respected" within the community, but Kudpung is THE most obnoxious and self righteous editor/admin I have ever come across on Wikipedia. If someone could point me to a discussion wherein he does not toot his own horn or rather does not mention the term ‘RFA’, I would be much oblig...
