On #wikipedia last night, a user pointed out I may be in violation of [[m:Don't be a dick]]. This is most probably true.
This whole thing has gone out of proportion, and I accept that both of my actions maybe seen as incivil (albeit in good faith).
I still, however, think the term hypocrite was unneccessarily harsh and I think the fact I am chair of [[WP:CJ]] is irrelevant.
The what of the what?
"Last night in #wikipedia-en, I formed a new wiki project with seven members or so. In the absence of an interim leader, I appointed me as overlord general and appointed two others as general advisors, or councillors.
Formal elections, with election co-ordinators, to be held in six months. We haven't decided what to call it; but don't panic, we've got a councillor for Naming, and s/he is going to set up a committee to help decide. I expect we'll vote on it.
Next, we'll get a bot to spam people with links to it, set up a newsletter (councillor for Publishing, methinks - and a press crew) and hold regular meetings.
We start the actual work in 2008. This is all preparation."
Sound familiar?
