It is not entirely correct about candidates. I also ran, but pulled out. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Unless, of course, I am getting confused on which election I participated in... :( I'm sure someone will confirm/correct my badly failing memory! Ta bu shi da yu 06:55, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Yup, I knew I did. See this edit where I withdrew. My memory ain't so bad after all! - Ta bu shi da yu 06:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

The article didn't list all of the 30 somthing candidates who ran; it simply gave the seven winners. :-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, if you're referring to the number of candidates, I think that the official number should be the number of people that people could have voted for; i.e. because people could not vote for you, you weren't an official candidate. Thanks. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

S'cool... thought I'd just note it :-) Ta bu shi da yu 10:06, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

"However, other users disagreed. "This page allows users to voice their concern about the candidates," CheeseDreams said."

CheeseDreams was a terrible POV pusher, and was highly disruptive to Wikipedia. We had a pitched battle to counter her POV-pushing, and the main reason she said this was because she disliked me. I'd like to note that the ArbCom later banned her for some time from editing Wikipedia. - Ta bu shi da yu 07:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the info and comments, but the article included CheeseDreams's opinion because it was relevant to the topic. The Wikipedia Signpost strives to include opinions from all parts of the Wikipedia community, and we will continue trying to represent the diverse Wiki-munity that this project encompasses.

It's cool, but that comment was only made because of myself. - Ta bu shi da yu 10:07, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

I love Wikipedia

I was reading this article and all of a sudden it hit me how much I love Wikipedia...all the elaborate customs, all the quirky people contributing their nerdy energies for the silliest reasons...I really love it. Not a meagre accomplishment for the writer to have inspired this reaction, methinks. Babajobu 08:27, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words! They were appreciated. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | W_S 23:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

A bit of a backhanded compliment... :-) Ta bu shi da yu 10:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
