I'm not calling you "gender critical" per se. I'm just saying that from an external perspective, in disputes in the topic area, you, like Crossroads and Pyxis, are generally aligned in opposition to what you describe as "trans activists" Still not getting it. I'm not 'aligned in opposition to what ...

I wouldn't find it hard to buy that SMcCandlish is operating from an anti-Muslim angle on this, Why are you bringing my name into this, especially with such an accusation? For the record, I'm an across-the-board secularist (agnostic, leaning atheist), and I spend far, far more time criticizing Chri...

[...] broadly "gender critical" alligned users, like Crossroads or SMcCandlish. I can't speak for Crossroads, but I'm not "gender critical". Like so many in these excessively polarized times, you're mistaking opposition to trans/enby activists abusing WP as an advocacy platform, for opposition to t...

Everyone finishing above 50% shows how flawed this voting system is. Yes, this is something I'm going to use in the ACE2021 RfC to again propose reforming the voting system. Along with a statement being included that that no Arb responsibilities require the admin (sysop) bit. Anything Arbs need to ...

Everyone knows the first candidates get asked the most questions and are subjected to a higher level of investigation and scrutiny. The way to fix the 11th hour problem would be to have a 5 day period for nominations, followed by a couple days off, followed by a 7 day period of questioning, followe...

ARBCOM procedures need to be changed to prevent this 11th hour candidacy bullshit. That's effectively impossible. If we make the deadline sooner, that just creates a new 11th hour. From what I can tell, various people aren't sure they're going to run (given the amount of commitment involved), but g...

Are you excluding SMcCandlish and Hawkeye7 from consideration just because they aren't admins? As I mentioned in my previous post , I think this attitude doesn't make sense. While having past experience as an admin certainly is a plus for members of ArbCom, there are other factors that matter a lot...

I only pop in here every few years, to address a few questions and claims that mention me and seem to warrant a response. * If I had gotten some kind of freaky warning from WMF, I certainly would not deny it. I would be irritated and would have a lot to say about it (and "lot" coming from me would b...

To catch up after a long absence, I'll mostly address all of this thread (and some older, similar ones), in something like bullet-point essay form rather than do a bunch of separate, personalized, micro-topical posts. It's more practical to produce a document that people can discuss if they want to,...

The word ["like"] is almost always capitalized in song titles. If there's going to be a dogmatic rule on the matter, it should be exactly opposite of what is being advocated. Bonus point for trolls: Start a Wikipedia [[Category:Songs that include the word Like]] LOL; CfD would delete it as a "trivi...

Lots of evidence that Peter Ekman aka Smallbones has been socking for years over the Exile article. This looks like SMcCandlish edit warring/meatpuppetting for Smallbones as recently as late last year with a sockpuppet IP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/69.46.241.140 Um, no. Th...

For SMcCandlish to be elected, he would need, as a non-admin, to get more votes from the community than three of the ten admins (lets count Worm as an admin, regardless of his non-admin stand, as that is what he actually is). We've never had a non-admin as an Arb, but for some SMcCandlish's argumen...

Anyway, it appears that Alex Shih, BU_Rob13, Xaosflux, SMcCandlish, Coffee and a few others are careful observers of the page-mover request. Just to be clear, I'm only a rather intermittent watcher of PM requests, and I mostly look out for a) obvious PoV "move-warriors", b) people with no experienc...

For the record: 1) Wer900: I did not "time" my letter of editorial resignation to coincide with anything to do with Jimbo's schedule. I don't follow his page at all, or what he's doing. I left him a copy (slightly updated) of something I'd written quite a bit earlier, because a) it's important that ...
