Wikipediocracy

Y'all should back off and give her some time. Perhaps they should, but one of the biggest problems Wikipedia has always had is that people are irresistibly attracted to wherever the drama is happening, and they often have only a very short window in which to contribute to it in such a way that othe...

I would like to complain, but as the 5 candidates I endorsed on-wiki were the top 5 finishers, I'm not sure I can. It does appear that Cabayi's participation in l'affaire Sandifer did not affect the results. EDIT: also Cap'n Kudpung's take on this is worth repeating here: "The results did not match...

With effulgent support from Kudpung, WWT is the first to put his name forward.

Interesting to see Kudpung directly referencing this thread, even encouraging people to view it. He's even complementary about the level of research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom#Opinion_column I'm certain that in the past he said he would never come over ...

I still don't really get why he withdrew, there was going to easily be a consensus to resysop him. When you volunteer for something, and a bunch of people act like that, it’s a rational response to say, you know what, never mind, y’all can do it yourselves. When you volunteer for the job of prevent...

Following multiple complaints to the Committee, as well as the results of checkuser block appeals considered by the Committee, we performed an audit of Bbb23's checkuser tool use.

I guess that tends to suggest that this isn't some sort of revenge against us specifically, since we don't really know anybody in China or Singapore who would want to do something like this

By the way, the "science" editors in Wikipedia, especially in the medicine, health, and environmental (climate change/global warming) topic areas have always been really rude to each other, especially to new editors.

Where's Harry been for the last 6 months? Oppose, with no disrespect to your hard work and dedication but it seems you have a habit of rubbing people up the wrong way (to put it diplomatically).

The gay-pride linking was worse than usual asshole-behavior from Kudpung. He really should have stricken that, but that would have been like cornering a badger and hoping for it to roll over.
