I've had a variation of this on my user page for a while. I could leave it anywhere on Wikimedia or en.Wikipedia.  I am really pissed to be in an arbitration on issues that decent administratorship should have dealt with 8-10 months ago.  The repeated references to females of course will doubtless be mocked.  I just pray I can pull myself away from an essentially time wasting and masochistic effort.  I can do far more for advancing the knowledge of the world by just rewriting articles of interest to me and putting them on my own carolmoorepedia.org or something. (What a glorious concept!!)

====Is the real problem ineffective action by administrators?====
:Right now administrators refuse to stop POV editing, misuse of RS, concerted attacks on BLPs, harassment (especially of clearly identified females), tag-team editing, sockpuppetry that is obvious from clear patterns of similar editing on the same articles using the same language style/POVs, etc. etc.  What good is it to have a policy on COI editing or ''anything else'' if some administrators are terrified of editors who threaten to try to take away their administrator rights?  Or some are too intimidated/confused by professional B.S. artists and/or those who scream discrimination? Or if others are too nice a guy or too much of a "good old boy" to enforce policies? Or if admins only enforce them on editors perceived as "weak" politically but not those perceived as "strong" politically? Where issues that should have been handled by admins months ago have to go to Arbitration. And then you still will end up with too many ineffective decisions that are either too wussy or too harsh (and sometimes against the wrong individuals), all because they were not dealt with effectively earlier by admins.
:Unless Wikipedia figures out how to have a few hundred truly independent admins committed first and foremost to enforcing Wikipedia policy through frequent short blocks which escalate for those who don't get the point, the whole project is doomed. The bad editors continue to drive out good and/or new ones, especially females who aren't willing to enter into a field of combat.
:''If the Foundation can't figure out how to set up some procedure and or independent body to hire and train a few dozen (or hundred) tough and fair administrators to do the dirty work that volunteer admins refuse to take on, the Foundation might as well fold it's tent and hand the whole project over to Citizenpedia. Also, make sure half or more of those paid admins are women who won't play those good old boy games and will get the job done.''
