I support any Wikipediocracy regular or semi-regular throwing his or her hat in the ring. You don't have to break your back to make it a realistic campaign, but you must be ready to do the job if you somehow get elected. That means paying attention to Arbcom stuff and participating and answering your #$%ing Arbcom email and knowing policy and at least *trying* to treat editors right, and all of this for the next two years or whatever it is.
I just looked at the rules and there's only TWO DAYS LEFT "(i) be submitted after 00:01 UTC on 10 November 2013 and before 23:59 UTC on 19 November 2013!!" For those in USA the deadline is between 4 PM to 7 PM tomorrow, depending on timezone.
It doesn't look that hard to put your name in. Check out the light eligibility requirements, offer some short or middling statement of why you run, track it and answer community questions after that. Go here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... Candidates) and do it!
We here will back you up with annoying and inflammatory commentary, designed to make the incumbents nutty! We will malign and character assassinate all your opponents!
Here are the complete requirements:
