Hello.
http://toolserver.org/~kalan is redirected to Russian Wikipedia article «Хуй (значения)». This is very incorrect redirect («Хуй» («Khuy») in Russian mean obscene word, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_(Russian_profanity) ) and in fact a vandalism: this toolserver account contains statistics about Arbcom elections (example: http://toolserver.org/~kalan/arb10/), and this redirect mean «russian arbitrators is khuy».
Owner of this Tollserver account does not respond to abuse reports in-wiki.
Please delete redirect and replace it with standard TOC or blank page.

It does not mean clearly that arbcom is х..й, but such a redirect is abnormal. I wanted to raise this topic half a year ago, but then gave up. If I'm not the one who ain't like such "jokes" then I approve this.
User provides services, which greatly improve arbiters election process, and the redirect just means that in the middle, when there are no elections, the service is not available. Looks like a joke and I do not think the redirect says anything about arbiters.

I don't think it says anything about the arbiters either, but it's not as though I closely follow Russian Wikipedia wikipolitics, so who knows. I wonder if anyone has tried asking Kalan (enhydra) to simply change the redirect. I'll CC him on this e-mail. I very briefly looked at his user talk page on the Russian Wikipedia[1] but didn't see any request asking him to change the redirect (and he seems pretty inactive).

Russians knows about this redirect. It was discussed for some times but as you can see nobody cares eventually. It will be very stormy discussion (if it'll be), we don't need it really.
