That particular "troll" (User:28bytes) is an active administrator and bureaucrat on the English Wikipedia today. WO was unaware of his on-wiki identity, and that he was running for ArbCom. We found out after he won the ArbCom election – and if we hadn't, you wouldn't have. And he's not the only Wikimedia admin to participate on WO incognito. That in itself is food for thought. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
