Since you guys have tried everything else, how about having Wikipediocracy vet all RfA/RfB candidates for you?

If we vote them 'out of committee', then you can have your silly RfA.

It's not like we've been wrong about these guys.

Regardless, if the figure is true, to me, it suggests something I'm surprised to be typing here: Maybe there isn't a problem with administration on Wikipedia, or at least not a cultural/systemic rot-level one. I mean, if 99% of admins are never brought to ArbCom, it suggests they're at least perfor...

If there was a real problem to be solved, it wouldn't be this difficult for someone to pipe up and describe it. I don't really want to get drawn into this, but I thought that the idea was to separate review of admin actions from the general boards requesting admin attention, and to introduce AE-sty...

But asking "what problem does it fix" seems too unimaginative. "What problem does it fix?" seems to me to be a splendid question. How on earth will you define and build the "solution" if you can't "imagine" the "problem" it is supposed to fix? And why on earth would you invest this amount of your o...

I took it to mean that they think Clemens is being kind of a fuckboy.

Jclemens says, "My love for you is ticking clock BERZERKER"

I'm sorry, I thought this was a place where people come to troll WP editors. I didn't realize it was [CENSORED].

Sorry for perpetuating this sidebar but I just wanted to note that there are three formally state-recognized American Indian tribes of Georgia but apparently none of them are federally recognized . Only about half a percent of Georgians are natives (a figure that's actually higher than recent previ...

Does "nativist" mean that they are strong supporters of American Indian rights, i.e. native Americans?

Yes, all far-right politicians are big supporters of Native American rights. There is video of MTG doing a rain dance with the Cthulu tribe of Georgia.

Wikipedia should avoid stating opinions in Wiki-voice. A fact would be that so-and-so said that Greene was "far-right", attributing the opinion to a person or organization who stated that opinion. Hey, genius. That's what those little numbers are for on Wikipedia articles. When you see a little num...

Sorry to drag this out longer but why can there be “broad consensus” on the borders of continents (or individual countries, for that matter) but not on what constitutes far-right politics or a far-right politician? Is requiring all members to vote either “yes” or “no” on every question before the H...

Let's not forget that admin and once-Arb JClemens wrote a BLP policy-flaunting essay to be weaponized in XfDs... Wikipedia:CRYBLP once-admin and once-Arb Jclemens pre-emptively resigned the bit after being hauled to Arbcom for too forcefully using his admin rights to save a precious article ( Henry...

I love that the first and so far only oppose is "we don't need more 'crats". What a great, well reasoned oppose.

Do we need 'crats at all? What risk or harm would be caused by allowing regular old admins to close RFAs and give out bot flags?

I found this website in the first place via similar accusations. It's amusing to me how the very people who most object to what goes on here seem to be the most eager to provide direct-links that the out-of-the-poop readers can use to find it. Hi, I found this website from S Marshall's link at Arbc...
