Re: Arbcom 2018 Candidate: RickinBaltimore
RickinBaltimore asserts he never heard of RickK before selecting his prior account name RickKJr. Sure thing. It's my first name, last initial, and I'm a Junior. To be honest I had no idea of the RickK account when I did this, and I quickly changed upon learning of it. Had I known, this never would b...

Arbcom 2018 Candidate: The_Rambling_Man
This was a surprise, The_Rambling_Man has self-nominated. I think the voters (and we know who the voters generally are: the administrative crowd and most visibly the worst among them) are going to rip this guy apart. Few will vote for him. He has almost no chance in my view. Rambling is a cantankero...

Re: Arbcom Candidate 2018: BU Rob13
Concerning this statement from BU_Rob13's self-nomination: Other than a few doppelganger accounts registered to prevent impersonation, my only other account is BU RoBOT, my bot. I've already signed the WMF's access to non-public data agreement due to my role as a functionary. When he says "only...

Re: Arbcom 2017
More on Arbcom candidate "RickinBaltimore." I see now that the histories of renamed accounts normally get subsumed into the history of the later account name. While the wiki software changes the name in the header at the top of the diff, you can tell if the user made a comment, which is si...

Re: Arbcom 2017
"RickKJr" Any relation to RickK aka Zoe from a by-gone era? m m Good catch. "RickKJr" is a bit too similar to "RickK" to be mere coincidence, especially since both are WP:AN/ANI regulars. Let's have a look at what RickKJr specifically says in his self-nom: "In the...

Arbcom 2018 Candidate: RickinBaltimore
The first Arbcom 2018 self-nomination has appeared. It's from "RickinBaltimore." RickinBaltimore, 13:30, 14 November 2017: After careful consideration, and lots of thought on my part, I have decided to self-nominate myself for this ArbCom election. I ran in the 2015 election as a relative...

Re: Arbcom 2017
I think I'm reading the page correctly. Arbcom 2017 has handled only four cases. It's November, there's one more active one, maybe it'll get to five. See for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Cases/2017 . So what do the arbcommies actually do these days? Very close ...

Re: Phillipe Beaudette's 2015 Resignation Email
Her predecessor warned for corruption in the organisation , and she is asking, is it safe, If I leave, is it safe? No of course it is not safe! But why for the hell are these people writing such a incredible nonsens? That's what I wonder. It sounds fluffy and full of good will to write a "you ...
